Mitch Thompson published his first book on nutrition — and one month later, his body almost killed him.
In this episode, we sit down with Mitch (author of Fireproof, owner of Combat Cardio KC, documentary creator) to break down the truth nobody wants to talk about: how the food on your shelf is quietly making you sick, why doctors are trained to medicate instead of cure, and what really happens inside your gut when you eat the "normal" American diet.
We get into:
How Mitch was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and refused to follow the standard medication path
Why he ruptured his Achilles, refused surgery, and is walking again 10 months later
The real reason your grandmother's tortillas, beans, and rice didn't make her sick — but yours might
How Big To***co scientists were bought out by the food industry to keep you addicted
Why 95% of your serotonin is made in your gut — not your brain
Seed oils, glyphosate, "cage-free" lies, and the ingredient that started as machine lubricant
The carnivore vs. vegan debate (with receipts)
Why most "healthy" foods like brown rice, kale, and lentils are tricking you
This conversation goes deep, raw, and bilingual — the kind of conversation we don't get in school and definitely don't get from a 10-minute doctor visit.
If you've ever felt bloated, tired, anxious, or stuck in chronic symptoms nobody can explain — this episode is for you.
