03:18.020 --> 03:19.260 Let's just say for example, 03:20.360 --> 03:22.380 different locales that are adjacent to you, 03:22.440 --> 03:24.460 things from the mountains above you, 03:24.540 --> 03:26.200 maybe things from the ocean below you, 03:26.200 --> 03:28.500 you've got to move within your ecosystem 03:28.500 --> 03:30.600 to get the full range of nutrition. 03:31.020 --> 03:34.280 Now a lot of that's done for us today by vehicle, right? 03:34.440 --> 03:36.580 Where food could be trucked down from the mountains 03:36.980 --> 03:38.180 or brought up from the sea 03:38.180 --> 03:39.740 but when you put it all together, 03:40.040 --> 03:41.620 really what nutrition is about 03:41.620 --> 03:45.460 is the dynamic interaction of opposites. 03:45.880 --> 03:47.000 We'll be talking about that, 03:47.100 --> 03:49.340 the mystical interaction of opposites. 03:49.640 --> 03:51.580 So for example, when we're farming even, 03:51.840 --> 03:52.740 let's say up on the mountain, 03:52.840 --> 03:54.120 we want to bring things up from the beach 03:54.120 --> 03:55.380 up to the mountain and when we're farming 03:55.380 --> 03:56.860 up at the mountain, we want to bring things back 03:56.860 --> 03:59.900 down to the beach and that interaction is sacred 03:59.900 --> 04:02.180 and fascinating and it's true also with nutrition. 04:02.560 --> 04:04.220 You'll find that for example, 04:04.280 --> 04:07.120 there's pioneer trees like birch 04:07.120 --> 04:09.800 and that produces a really fascinating mushroom 04:09.800 --> 04:11.100 which is the chaga mushroom. 04:11.460 --> 04:15.140 Then there's the established kind of climax forest tree 04:15.140 --> 04:16.880 of the same ecosystem. 04:17.940 --> 04:20.660 That tree will be the hemlock tree, it's a conifer 04:21.060 --> 04:22.180 and what does it produce? 04:22.400 --> 04:23.640 It produces the reishi mushroom. 04:24.180 --> 04:26.540 Reishi's considered the queen, chaga is the king 04:26.540 --> 04:30.280 and the two mystically together are the king and queen. 04:30.480 --> 04:33.800 It's like the most powerful immunological tonic 04:33.800 --> 04:35.940 that comes from that type of ecosystem. 04:36.660 --> 04:39.180 So these are the types of ideas that we'll be exploring. 04:39.340 --> 04:40.260 We'll be having a lot of fun. 04:40.700 --> 04:42.480 We'll get into it at a level 04:42.480 --> 04:44.000 that you may have never heard of it before 04:44.000 --> 04:46.900 in terms of like what is the real depth of a food 04:46.900 --> 04:48.480 or a psychoactive material? 04:48.960 --> 04:50.640 Because I'm gonna share with you 04:51.120 --> 04:54.260 the experience of growing these things all these years. 04:54.400 --> 04:57.560 I'm one of the only nutritionists you will ever come across 04:57.880 --> 05:00.460 in the entire world that actually grows 05:00.460 --> 05:03.840 or wildcrafts those things that I'm talking about. 05:04.720 --> 05:05.520 Think about that. 05:06.020 --> 05:09.240 That should be the number one job of every nutritionist. 05:09.380 --> 05:11.260 You gotta grow it so you know it. 05:11.500 --> 05:14.560 You've gotta forge it so you become aware 05:14.560 --> 05:16.580 of all the subtle nuances 05:16.920 --> 05:19.080 that are associated with that herb or that food. 05:19.580 --> 05:21.220 Another thing that's really a key about a podcast 05:21.220 --> 05:23.560 is that we're able to get information to you quickly. 05:24.160 --> 05:25.580 So it used to take me years with books 05:25.580 --> 05:27.140 to get the information to you in a podcast. 05:27.460 --> 05:28.180 Boom, it's right there. 05:28.420 --> 05:30.000 So I'd love to hear your feedback 05:30.000 --> 05:31.920 and I hope you engage in some feedback 05:31.920 --> 05:35.440 maybe through my substack, substack.davidowolf.com. 05:35.660 --> 05:37.340 That would be a great place to interact 05:37.340 --> 05:39.420 or maybe you could hit my social media sites 05:39.420 --> 05:41.860 and let me know what you want me to get into 05:41.860 --> 05:43.500 because I will touch all subjects. 05:43.620 --> 05:45.880 You can imagine with 30 years of experience 05:46.290 --> 05:50.400 in this field how much I've dug into everything. 05:50.560 --> 05:52.700 I work every day so there's no days off. 05:52.880 --> 05:56.060 So I've been at it nonstop the whole way. 05:56.400 --> 05:57.820 And one of the things that I love 05:57.820 --> 05:59.540 is that dynamic interaction with you 05:59.540 --> 06:02.200 so that you tell me, hey, what about this peptide, 06:02.300 --> 06:02.760 for example? 06:03.000 --> 06:04.560 What do you think of this whole peptide theory? 06:04.800 --> 06:05.880 And we'll get into that. 06:06.160 --> 06:08.280 Another thing that I wanna recommend is that 06:08.280 --> 06:11.760 you let me know exactly how far 06:11.760 --> 06:13.420 you want the specificity to go 06:13.420 --> 06:14.900 because sometimes it can be overwhelming 06:14.900 --> 06:17.420 and sometimes it can be just what you wanted to hear. 06:17.640 --> 06:20.200 Like how many milligrams of charcoal do I take in the morning? 06:20.360 --> 06:22.180 The answer is 400 milligrams for starters. 06:22.520 --> 06:23.740 If you're a more advanced student, 06:23.840 --> 06:27.000 you might move up to 800 milligrams, 1600 milligrams, 06:27.760 --> 06:29.400 2400 milligrams, something like that. 06:29.480 --> 06:30.160 But in the beginning, 06:30.780 --> 06:32.100 let's start out with something that you understand. 06:32.300 --> 06:34.080 Let's do 400 milligrams and get going like that. 06:34.160 --> 06:36.300 So that kind of information is very important too 06:36.300 --> 06:39.480 because there's so many recommendations out there 06:39.480 --> 06:42.640 about this much vitamin B6 and that much magnesium 06:42.640 --> 06:44.320 and how much is right and how much is wrong. 06:44.320 --> 06:46.640 And there's no real just definite answer 06:46.640 --> 06:48.460 because again, we varied dramatically, 06:48.480 --> 06:50.280 but there's good places to start 06:50.280 --> 06:52.520 and interesting ways to test out your system, 06:52.540 --> 06:55.640 see if that appropriate supplement or herb or superfood 06:55.640 --> 06:58.140 is appropriate for you, right? 06:58.260 --> 06:59.820 Because not everything is right for everybody, 06:59.820 --> 07:02.400 but with all the choice that we have, 07:02.580 --> 07:04.440 we can find what's right for us. 07:04.580 --> 07:06.940 Now, I'm also a medical freedom activist. 07:07.120 --> 07:09.020 So we'll be touching in this podcast 07:09.020 --> 07:10.960 onto medical freedom fighters 07:10.960 --> 07:11.980 and we'll be talking to them. 07:12.060 --> 07:13.760 That's another very important part of what I'm doing 07:13.760 --> 07:17.620 is I believe in choice and medical choice in particular. 07:18.080 --> 07:19.820 And there's something I said for years, 07:20.300 --> 07:21.620 nobody understood me. 07:22.380 --> 07:25.660 People would just, they would glaze over when I'd say this. 07:25.800 --> 07:27.360 Now it's starting to make sense. 07:27.800 --> 07:30.780 So what I would say is that medical communism 07:30.780 --> 07:33.520 always precedes actual communism. 07:34.000 --> 07:38.360 And by communism, I mean totalitarian centralized control 07:38.700 --> 07:41.420 where choice is eradicated, right? 07:41.420 --> 07:44.480 So we're seeing that kind of pincer movement right now 07:44.480 --> 07:46.960 in our politics with what's happening in the West 07:47.680 --> 07:51.000 between the communist ideals and the fascist ideals 07:51.000 --> 07:52.240 and they're fusing together. 07:52.580 --> 07:54.580 So we're kind of caught in a pincer movement between them 07:54.580 --> 07:55.720 and we've got to fight back. 07:55.900 --> 07:57.840 So that's gonna be part of what we do on the podcast 07:57.840 --> 07:59.680 as well and I'll have many activists 07:59.680 --> 08:01.560 and many of whom have been friends of mine 08:01.560 --> 08:03.540 for many years just fighting a good fight, 08:03.840 --> 08:05.080 getting out there and getting it done. 08:05.500 --> 08:06.960 Another thing that we're gonna be getting into 08:06.960 --> 08:08.860 is kind of the adventures that I like to be on. 08:09.180 --> 08:10.780 I was just out in the Egyptian desert. 08:10.780 --> 08:13.480 I was just at the Parthenon and Athens 08:13.480 --> 08:17.140 and seeing sights there that were dazzling to me. 08:17.200 --> 08:18.820 Right there, there's 10,000 people 08:18.820 --> 08:20.860 and you look one direction, you look another direction. 08:21.100 --> 08:24.340 There's a megalithic wall there that is as startling 08:24.340 --> 08:26.340 as anything I've seen in Karnak, Egypt 08:26.820 --> 08:28.300 or Saxe woman Peru. 08:28.860 --> 08:30.300 So we're gonna be talking about adventures 08:30.300 --> 08:33.540 and kind of the lifestyles like how do you stay 08:33.540 --> 08:36.180 on your diet and how do you stay on track 08:36.180 --> 08:37.960 and how do you stay in this lifestyle, 08:37.960 --> 08:40.740 healthy lifestyle traveling the way that you do. 08:40.940 --> 08:42.280 We're gonna touch on that too. 08:42.720 --> 08:45.220 I would say this, one of the most important things 08:45.220 --> 08:48.600 about being a voice in the natural foods field 08:48.600 --> 08:52.180 is that there is so many great farmers. 08:52.300 --> 08:54.960 There's so many great people out there. 08:55.140 --> 08:57.140 There's so many great people putting together 08:57.140 --> 08:59.980 such amazing products that I wanna be a voice for them. 09:00.420 --> 09:01.780 And so that's part of what I do. 09:01.920 --> 09:04.380 I'm a voice for maybe a group that's been forgotten. 09:04.600 --> 09:06.880 I was a voice for Kakao many, many years ago 09:06.880 --> 09:09.440 before anybody even knew that chocolate was made from Kakao. 09:09.760 --> 09:12.120 Kakao beans or Kakao nuts, right?
