Todd White | The Best vs Worst Alcohol For Your Health & The Dark History of the Wine Industry KKP: 661

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Todd White. As the founder of Dry Farm Wines, a writer, speaker, and leader in the organic/Natural Wine movement, Todd White has widely educated communities on conscious consumption. Todd is a self-described biohacker who practices daily meditation, Wim Hof breathing, cold thermogenesis, a ketogenic diet, and daily 22-hour intermittent fasting. He is also a frequent speaker on topics including meditation and the Dry Farm Wines unique company culture. Built on a foundation of honesty and peace, Dry Farm Wines has seen remarkable growth, making it one of the fastest growing private companies in the U.S., without any debt or investors. Dry Farm Wines is endorsed by many leading U.S. performance influencers with pure Natural Wines that are lab tested to ensure each bottle is sugar-free (0-0.15g per glass), lower in sulfites, and lower in alcohol (under 12.5% alc/vol). The wines are friendly to low carb, Paleo, ketogenic, and low sugar diets. Dry Farm Wines is proud to be the largest Natural Wine merchant in the world, bringing awareness to Natural Wine consumption and supporting farmers who honor the soil. In this episode, Todd reveals the inspiration behind his company Dry Farm Wines. Following a ketogenic lifestyle, Todd started to relate to alcohol negatively. Eventually, this led to the creation of Dry Farm Wines and Todd’s immense passion for organic natural wine. Todd explains why you can’t buy healthy wine at a conventional store and why organic wine isn’t the same as natural wine. Tune in as we chat about corruption in the wine industry and why you should consider getting Dry Farm Wines.

When Todd was therapeutically ketogenic, he had a negative relationship with wine. For many people who become ketogenic, it’s common that their relationship with alcohol also changes. Several factors that impact your relationship with alcohol - sugar and stress are significant. After stumbling upon an organic natural wine, Todd did some lab testing on wines. Eventually, Todd started Dry Farm Wines. Learn more here: dryfarmwines.com/ketokamp [15:30] Why You Can’t Buy Healthy Wine at Your Conventional Store Excess drinking can cause inflammation. Todd will drink wines that are between 10 and 11% alcohol. Conventional wines are generally 14 to 15% alcohol. Because there is less alcohol in natural wine, it dramatically affects how you feel, your brain health, and your inflammation. Wine used to be a healthy drink; now, wine is unhealthy. Multi-billion dollar marketing conglomerates are making wine production cheaper and faster. So, the wines in your typical store are unhealthy and cheaply made. [26:50] Did You Know That Wine Is the Only Major Food Group Without a Contents Label? Wine is the only major food group without a contents label. There is no content label or nutritional information on the wine. Sugar is the most widely addictive and abused drug on the planet, leading to chronic illness. The wine industry has spent millions of dollars in lobby money over the years to keep content labeling off of wine because they don't want you to know what's in it. [29:40] Health Leaders Recommend Drinking Tequila; However, It May Not Be the Best Choice Many health leaders recommend tequila as the alcohol of choice if you’re going to drink. Tequila is a distilled spirit that is pure and clean. Plus, it comes from a plant. The problem with tequila is that it is 45% alcohol. Alcohol is not your friend; it has limited benefits in the right dosage in the right way. The more alcohol you drink, the more likely you will consume even more. [34:00] Natural Wine Is Always Organic or Biodynamically Grown The most significant hallmark of natural wine is it is always organic or biodynamically grown. Not all organic wines are natural; however, natural wines are always organic. Drinking organic wine is better than drinking non-organic wine. Biodynamic farming was developed in 1925 as an advanced form of organic farming. This type of farming will include harvesting based on the lunar cycle, and they create natural organic potions for the vines. [38:35] Natural Wine Is Always Fermented With Wild Indigenous Native Yeast The next hallmark of natural wine is that they are always fermented with wild indigenous native yeast. Commercial wines are always fermented with GMO lab-cultured yeast. You can't make commercial wines using wild native yeast because the yeast is too unstable, and it won’t work in large volumes. That’s why natural wine growers don’t have brand names; they can’t create enough wine using wild yeast. [46:15] We Love That Dry Farm Wines Are Sugar-Free and Keto Friendly All Dry Farm Wines are sugar-free. If you are following the ketogenic lifestyle, Dry Farm Wines suits you! Plus, Dry Farm Wines test for sulfites. The only way to claim that wine is sugar-free is to test it. Last year, Todd tested the top 20 best-selling wines in America. Only two of them met the criteria for sugar-free. AND MUCH MORE!
