A few weeks ago, my friend Yuri Elkaim (pictured above) published a book. Yuri is a bit of an outlier and renegade in the nutrition and health community. His mission is to empower everyday men and women with proper nutrition and health wisdom so they can take better control of their own health.
He also holds High Honors degree in Physical Education and Health/Kinesiology from the University of Toronto, is a former professional soccer player, and for 7 seasons acted as the strength & conditioning/nutrition coach for the nationally ranked men's soccer program at the University of Toronto. Some refer to him as the "health whisperer" for being to get to the heart of what matters and produce amazing health, weight loss, and fitness results where there seemed little hope.
I interview Yuri in today's podcast, and in this episode, we talk about protein digestibility, enzyme exhaustion, why most juicing recipes are no good, and much more.
I must admit, Yuri's new book "The All Day Energy Diet" is not the kind of book I would not normally read.
After all, Yuri - despite being an ex-professional soccer player - is bigtime into juicing, cleanses, detoxing - and I guarantee the guy eats far, far less steak than me...
...so I would *almost* classify him as a Whole Foods hippie.
But his book is, frankly, brilliant.
It covers dietary concepts that I haven't ever seen discussed in a book - concepts like:
-adjusting your blood pH with the foods you eat...
-how to test your adrenals without expensive lab tests...
-which foods literally exhaust your digestive enzymes...
-a new thing called the "PRAL" load of specific meals...
-six myths about plant protein
-how to choose the best kinds of coconut oil and butter...
-and much more.
I learned a ton from this book, and Yuri is a fellow athlete, a father, and a very smart dude, so I'm happy to tell you about his new book.
