About this episode
If you've been into health food, or have tried to limit your sugar consumption, or go ‘paleo’, chances are better than even that you've tried stevia as a sweetener. It's also likely that you didn't dig it. In this episode, you'll learn why. Spoiler alert: It's not because stevia tastes bad. It has a lot more to do with the dirty little secrets of the industry, and the corner cutting in the production process that takes place to maximize profits. If you've never heard of stevia, yet care about your health or weight, this episode carries immense value for you. Stevia is the healthiest sweetener on the planet. But only if it's properly manufactured. In addition to cracking the code on this miracle sweetener, we also myth bust tons of other health industry trends. Our guest Raffi will have you re-thinking many of the false assumptions we are lead to believe in the health and wellness scene such as: Why you should never shower without a water filter, and why most of them are worthless. The esoteric science of properly storing your drinking water, and why most of the water we drink is inferior. The misleading labeling practices of the supplement industry, and how to avoid getting scammed by knowing how to read labels. If you're a truth-seeker and someone who cares about your health, this is a rare opportunity to sit at the feet of a master in the field of health and longevity. As a seasoned researcher and formulator, Raffi has a profound understanding of some of nature's most potent compounds and how we can best use them to our advantage.
