In this mind-expanding episode of The Brink, Ringo and Ridgey sit down with Troy Casey, aka the Certified Health Nut—a man whose journey from international fashion model to holistic health warrior is as raw and real as it gets. Troy opens up about his early life, his struggles with addiction, and the path that led him to ancient plant medicine, natural detox practices, and a mission to Make America Healthy Again through what he calls the Maha movement. His story isn’t polished—it’s lived. And his message is clear: we don’t need more hacks. We need to return to what’s real.
Troy takes us through his ‘9 Pillars of Health’, a framework built around holistic health, movement, clean nutrition, consciousness, and self-responsibility. He shares his powerful experiences with ayahuasca, insights from working with Maori healers, and his deep critique of modern education systems—particularly how they fail to foster critical thinking or raise conscious, connected children. For Troy, wellness isn’t just about green smoothies and morning routines. It’s about raising kids who question, communities who support each other, and a body-mind-spirit system that’s in alignment with nature.
This is an episode that challenges the status quo—from parenting and technology to what we’re feeding our bodies and our minds. Ringo and Ridgey dig into Troy’s vision for a healthier, more awakened society, one that starts with self-inquiry and ends with legacy. Whether you’re deep in the wellness world or just questioning what “health” really means in 2025, this one will leave you thinking, laughing, and maybe even reprogramming your daily habits. As Troy says: “Let thy food be thy medicine—but don’t forget to move your damn body.”
