Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/dylan/ Every year, nutrition advice gets louder—and more contradictory. In this episode of the podcast, Dylan Gemelli and I explore why there is no single perfect diet for all of humankind—and how to individualize nutrition to support performance, heart health, cellular energy, and long-term resilience. We cover: - Why diet dogma creates more confusion than clarity—and how to think independently - What biochemical individuality actually means, including genetics, the microbiome, hormones, and detox capacity - A nuanced take on carbohydrates—when lower-carbohydrate approaches help, when they backfire, and how to time carbs strategically - How fasting fits (or doesn’t) when you train hard—and where moderation matters - Stable vs. unstable plaque—what matters for heart health and which tests provide meaningful insight - The foundations of cellular and mitochondrial health—from fats and minerals to light exposure, movement, and recovery - Why nervous system regulation and spiritual health shape everything else This is a must-listen if you’re tired of extreme nutrition rules and want an approach that fits your body, lifestyle, and goals.
