Today is the best day ever.
Greetings, I'm David Avocado Wolf
and welcome to my podcast.
I've been in the health field as a professional
for 30 plus years.
As you can imagine, I've done hundreds of podcasts,
thousands of radio shows.
I was doing radio shows back in the late 90s.
I would do one to three, even five sometimes a day,
morning drive-by shows, all kinds of interesting stuff.
Well, I'm back.
I'm back with a new podcast
and this is really a reset
because after all these years, you learn things
and I'm going to be going deep
into numerous topics that I've touched on over the years
but with more specificity in this podcast
than you've seen from me before.
So we're going to have a lot of fun.
Hope you enjoy this podcast
and put it into your schedule of podcasts
in your podcast app.
All right, now let's jump into it.
One of the things that started me off
was just this desire to get the information out there
about raw foods, super foods
and the herbalism and the super herbalism
and really an understanding of what we've learned
over 5,000 years of recorded human history
and 2,000 years of written history
and it's substantial and interesting.
Somehow these archetypes that we adopt when we're young,
it happens subconsciously.
They manifest later in life
and one of those archetypes is that Indiana Jones archetype
and so all my life I've been traveling to
all kinds of interesting pyramids,
all kinds of sacred sites,
fascinating megalithic ruins
and then studying the herbalism,
the food systems of that region,
whether it's in Peru or the Amazon,
whether it's in South Africa,
whether it's in Egypt, Northern Europe,
Australia, Eastern Asia,
all kinds of interesting adventures over the years
have led me to a number of interesting conclusions
and those conclusions we will be touching on
throughout this podcast.
It's designed to give you a benefit
of just jumping ahead of the curve
so you don't have to learn the lessons
like I had to learn them
and it'll allow you to kind of get right to the point
and that's the whole approach that we have is like,
okay, we got to talk about things
that don't move very much.
For example, the mountains don't move
but the valleys, well, it's reasonably cut down,
fields will be plowed, things will change
and so when it comes to nutrition
as I've understood over the last 30 years
and a gradual and slow development
that there are as many diets
as there are human beings on earth,
that's the real truth, that's Rudolph Steiner's insight
and so what we want to talk about
is those things that affect all of us.
For example, you have to have fiber,
you've got to have fiber to move
through your digestive canal,
you've got to have things that are richly colored,
that's a very important part of nutrition,
you've got to have things
from different areas of the world, right?
Let's just say for example,
different locales that are adjacent to you,
things from the mountains above you,
maybe things from the ocean below you,
you've got to move within your ecosystem
to get the full range of nutrition.
Now a lot of that's done for us today by vehicle, right?
Where food could be trucked down from the mountains
or brought up from the sea
but when you put it all together,
really what nutrition is about
is the dynamic interaction of opposites.
We'll be talking about that,
the mystical interaction of opposites.
So for example, when we're farming even,
let's say up on the mountain,
we want to bring things up from the beach
up to the mountain and when we're farming
up at the mountain, we want to bring things back
down to the beach and that interaction is sacred
and fascinating and it's true also with nutrition.
You'll find that for example,
there's pioneer trees like birch
and that produces a really fascinating mushroom
which is the chaga mushroom.
Then there's the established kind of climax forest tree
of the same ecosystem.
That tree will be the hemlock tree, it's a conifer
and what does it produce?
It produces the reishi mushroom.
Reishi's considered the queen, chaga is the king
and the two mystically together are the king and queen.
It's like the most powerful immunological tonic
that comes from that type of ecosystem.
So these are the types of ideas that we'll be exploring.
We'll be having a lot of fun.
We'll get into it at a level
that you may have never heard of it before
in terms of like what is the real depth of a food
or a psychoactive material?
Because I'm gonna share with you
the experience of growing these things all these years.
I'm one of the only nutritionists you will ever come across
in the entire world that actually grows
or wildcrafts those things that I'm talking about.
Think about that.
That should be the number one job of every nutritionist.
You gotta grow it so you know it.
You've gotta forge it so you become aware
of all the subtle nuances
that are associated with that herb or that food.
Another thing that's really a key about a podcast
is that we're able to get information to you quickly.
So it used to take me years with books
to get the information to you in a podcast.
Boom, it's right there.
So I'd love to hear your feedback
and I hope you engage in some feedback
maybe through my substack, substack.davidowolf.com.
That would be a great place to interact
or maybe you could hit my social media sites
and let me know what you want me to get into
because I will touch all subjects.
You can imagine with 30 years of experience
in this field how much I've dug into everything.
I work every day so there's no days off.
So I've been at it nonstop the whole way.
And one of the things that I love
is that dynamic interaction with you
so that you tell me, hey, what about this peptide,
for example?
What do you think of this whole peptide theory?
And we'll get into that.
Another thing that I wanna recommend is that
you let me know exactly how far
you want the specificity to go
because sometimes it can be overwhelming
and sometimes it can be just what you wanted to hear.
Like how many milligrams of charcoal do I take in the morning?
The answer is 400 milligrams for starters.
If you're a more advanced student,
you might move up to 800 milligrams, 1600 milligrams,
2400 milligrams, something like that.
But in the beginning,
let's start out with something that you understand.
Let's do 400 milligrams and get going like that.
So that kind of information is very important too
because there's so many recommendations out there
about this much vitamin B6 and that much magnesium
and how much is right and how much is wrong.
And there's no real just definite answer
because again, we varied dramatically,
but there's good places to start
and interesting ways to test out your system,
see if that appropriate supplement or herb or superfood
is appropriate for you, right?
Because not everything is right for everybody,
but with all the choice that we have,
we can find what's right for us.
Now, I'm also a medical freedom activist.
So we'll be touching in this podcast
onto medical freedom fighters
and we'll be talking to them.
That's another very important part of what I'm doing
is I believe in choice and medical choice in particular.
And there's something I said for years,
nobody understood me.
People would just, they would glaze over when I'd say this.
Now it's starting to make sense.
So what I would say is that medical communism
always precedes actual communism.
And by communism, I mean totalitarian centralized control
where choice is eradicated, right?
So we're seeing that kind of pincer movement right now
in our politics with what's happening in the West
between the communist ideals and the fascist ideals
and they're fusing together.
So we're kind of caught in a pincer movement between them
and we've got to fight back.
So that's gonna be part of what we do on the podcast
as well and I'll have many activists
and many of whom have been friends of mine
for many years just fighting a good fight,
getting out there and getting it done.
Another thing that we're gonna be getting into
is kind of the adventures that I like to be on.
I was just out in the Egyptian desert.
I was just at the Parthenon and Athens
and seeing sights there that were dazzling to me.
Right there, there's 10,000 people
and you look one direction, you look another direction.
There's a megalithic wall there that is as startling
as anything I've seen in Karnak, Egypt
or Saxe woman Peru.
So we're gonna be talking about adventures
and kind of the lifestyles like how do you stay
on your diet and how do you stay on track
and how do you stay in this lifestyle,
healthy lifestyle traveling the way that you do.
We're gonna touch on that too.
I would say this, one of the most important things
about being a voice in the natural foods field
is that there is so many great farmers.
There's so many great people out there.
There's so many great people putting together
such amazing products that I wanna be a voice for them.
And so that's part of what I do.
I'm a voice for maybe a group that's been forgotten.
I was a voice for Kakao many, many years ago
before anybody even knew that chocolate was made from Kakao.
Kakao beans or Kakao nuts, right?
It's the most widely eaten nut in the world
that nobody eats.
Everybody eats a processed form of it.
It's called chocolate, right?
A processed form of it.
It's called Kakao butter.
A processed form of it.
It's called Kakao paste.
Some Kakao powder, but the real thing
is the Kakao bean, the original.
And so I became a voice for it
and it became a massive transformation
in the food industry.
Now you don't even see the words Coco anymore.
COCOA, you see the word Kakao, C-A-C-A-O.
And that has a lot to do with the work
I've been putting into chocolate over the years.
And again, like I've said before,
I grow these things, I've been growing them for years.
We created a permaculture revolution actually
in the way that vanilla is growing
because for years I talked to vanilla growers,
I was trying to grow vanilla
and they go, oh, you do it this way
and that way and this way and that way.
It was just so complicated.
I thought, it's gotta be easier than this.
What did I do?
I just went to what was sensible
and what was logical,
grow the vanilla on the Kakao tree
and what a revolution that created.
So our vanilla at our farm, Nonyland,
is grown on the Kakao trees.
Another thing I will get into is the work on the farms
and farm work and what that's like.
Wow, is that fun?
Wow, is that interesting?
I hope you develop a farm one day
and maybe develop a homestead.
When you're working with the earth,
great fulfillment is felt in your heart.
And that's something that I hope
I'm able to communicate through this podcast
is just that sacred relationship between you and the earth.
If there's one thing that we're missing in this world,
it's the connection to the sacred,
a connection to the thing that is not mass manufactured,
made in China, made in Taiwan, made in Indonesia,
made in India, no, we're getting back to the sacred.
When we go out there and we forge wild mushrooms,
for example, on this ecosystem,
I'm looking for artifacts.
I found a chaga one day off a maple tree.
What a shocking discovery and things like that,
things that just jump out at you and you go,
wow, this is really unexpected.
And that's the beauty of nature
and nature speaks to us in riddles
and we'll be uncoding those riddles.
Another piece of being out there in nature
is also being out under the stars and the heavenly bodies
and understanding the astrological significance of things.
People who don't believe in astrology
believe that you can get a suntan at midnight.
I mean, that's how ridiculous it is.
If you're gonna get a suntan,
the sun has to be out and it has to be daytime.
The moon affects us.
We know that the moon affects the police, for example.
The police don't, when there's a full moon,
there's gonna be way more trouble.
That's just a known thing.
And so the other luminaries have effects
and so we'll get into that too.
We may even touch into other things
that are related to our freedom movement.
And one of the things I've been podcasting on
with my friend Morpheus has been the cryptocurrency world
and alternative forms of currency
and how to store value that's away from the fee dollar
which just seems to diminish in value every single day.
So that's another area that we'll touch on.
Another thing I wanna say and just closing
about the content of the podcast is that I am open
to all different types of interpretations
of diet and lifestyle.
So this is not something that's dogmatic.
We're trying to get to those mountains again,
those things that don't move very much,
the color pigments and how important they are for health.
What the future of medicine is really looking like.
How important your own medicine is
that's made by your own body.
So the importance of stem cells
in your bone marrow and fat tissue, for example,
and how to get those motivated
and activated into your bloodstream, that kind of stuff.
Stuff that's your own perfect medicine.
All right, I guess with no further ado,
we're gonna get into the most, I believe,
broad and important podcast
in the health and nutrition field.
