232: Badass: A Wellness Giant Share His Take on Healthy Oils, Spirituality, and the Thing That is Keeping Us from Collectively Finding Health with Udo Erasmus
Udo has been speaking about the benefits of healthy oils in one’s diet for the better part of the last 30 years. He is literally the founding father of flax oil and has been speaking to how we need to healthily incorporate oils into our diet for most of his career. He is incredibly passionate with respect to educating the public about the difference between good oils vs. bad oils and how we can take responsibility for our own health.
In this episode, not only do we talk all-things oil supplementation in this episode, but we dive into an array of deeply fascinating topics. Udo discusses the greater meaning of life, the evolution of health, what true health really means, and where we have gone astray. This conversation was incredibly meaningful and I’m super excited to give you all the opportunity to hear some of his wisdom in today’s conversation!

BADASS FUEL — Fuel for Badass Women
Scientifically Supported Ingredients | Support, Not Replacement | Non-GMO
Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation into my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics. Learn more or order the products yourself by visiting BadassFuel.com!
