Why do we treat our bodies like garbage disposals and then act shocked when they break down?
In this episode of Talk of the Tavern, Travis and Ed swap barstools for soapboxes and get personal about what happens when you stop eating like a raccoon on a Vegas bender. From high blood pressure scares to the war on sodium, it’s a brutally honest conversation about food, health, and finally giving a damn before your body sends you a cease-and-desist letter.
So grab a drink—maybe not a sugary one—and join us for a gut check with a side of sarcasm.
What’s on Tap?🥦 The wake-up call: What happens when your doctor raises an eyebrow at your blood pressure.
🍟 Emotional eating: When comfort food becomes a long-term lease.
🧂 Sodium is everywhere: Why even “healthy” foods are sabotaging you.
🧘♂️ Discipline, not dieting: Creating a life that doesn’t require willpower every second.
🧪 Experimenting on yourself: Becoming your own science project (without the lab coat).
