Let's talk about diet WITHOUT dogma.We're diving into the podcasting archives with this one. I did this interview with Dr Ted Naiman for a previous version of the podcast back in December of 2020. While a lot of time has passed, and many of the specifics of my nutritional approach have evolved, the concepts promoted by Dr Naiman still provide me with the general framework for my beliefs around nutrition. This episode isn't about the benefits of any one diet. It's about the concepts that should be applied to any diet for you to be successful.This may be an older interview, but it's still one of the most informative and enjoyable I've ever done, and it's one of my favorites to this day.Enjoy!Support Dr. Naiman:* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tednaiman/ * Website & Book: https://pedietbook.com/New episodes every Tuesday!Email us at thebenjitsu@gmail.comFollow the podcast on instagram @what.now.pod: https://www.instagram.com/what.now.pod/ Follow Ben on instagram @ben.jitsu: https://www.instagram.com/ben.jitsu/ Website, YouTube, Shop, & More:- https://benjitsu.online/- https://linktr.ee/benjitsu - https://www.youtube.com/c/BenJitsu1 - https://whatnowpod.buzzsprout.com/- https://benjitsu.online/podcast
