On this week’s episode we’re departing from our typical format to celebrate “National Superhero Day” and to bring some practical advice on how to become a superhero in your own right. No, we’re not talking radioactive spiders or gamma radiation here, but there is some wisdom on healthy living that we can impart to help you feel and function your best.

Some Topics We Discussed: What does Ed mean when he talks about being a superhero? (4:50) What is hormesis and why does it matter? (6:04) What is the Wolverine diet? (8:16) What part does sleep play in becoming a superhero? (14:47) Why is exercise important? (22:20) Key Takeaways From This Episode: We live in a society that often treats our body as a fragile system, which has actually disempowered many people. (4:23) It’s wise to push your body to the limit for short periods of time and then back off. It makes you more resilient. (7:20) Food is power. (11:57) Much of our healing capabilities reside in the gut. (18:00)
