The Superfoods That Are Killing You – Teri Cochrane : 1128

The Human Upgrade: Biohacking for Longevity & Performance

Episode • Jan 25, 2024 • 1h 15m

Today, we’re digging into specifics about food that you haven’t heard on the show before. This one may very well influence you to rethink your “healthy” diet and change how you feel about food completely. To get there, I’m excited to welcome back Teri Cochrane, an integrative practitioner and pioneer in personalized healthcare.

Teri is the founder of the Global Sustainable Health Institute® and developer of The Cochrane Method®, a future-facing algorithm for decoding the human body. Teri is also one of the world’s leading experts on dietary amyloids, which is a topic I love talking about.

In today’s episode, we get into what amyloids are and how they turn on viruses, cause cancer, and shorten our lives. We also explore the dangers of oxalates and histamines, plus hacks to reduce and release them. Teri and I both have our own recipes for releasing oxalates that you can try at home (they’re surprisingly simple).

We talk about how dirty poultry is killing us—and how superfoods like kale and almonds aren’t any better. We break down the benefits of regenerative farming, and share ways to make your dollar stretch if you can’t afford grass-fed meat. Plus, Teri tells us what she personally eats.
