S2E31 - The 5 Pillars of Health

Show Summary: “To get healthy and stay healthy, you’ve got to be your own investigator. You’ve got to be inquisitive.”

Many “healthy food” products in supermarkets are marketed as whole and organic food. They claim that they have anti-inflammatory ingredients and are suitable for your heart and blood sugar. 

A couple of hundred years ago, people didn't die from diseases such as type 2 diabetes, dementia, and heart attacks. And this is because we weren’t eating the types of highly processed food that we eat now. 

So, how can you make sure that you’re truly getting the products that are good for you?

In this episode, Dr. Thomas Hemingway laid down the 5 simple pillars of health practices you can learn from to take care of your body. His holistic health philosophy is backed by numerous studies and one that many of you are already familiar with.

Dr. Hemingway believes that health and wellness are sustainable by addressing the root cause of the problem, long before symptoms start to manifest.

Why is sleep important?
