Summary

Udo Erasmus is a legendary health and wellness pioneer, acclaimed author and extensive educator who works alongside Tony Robbins and Deepak Chopra to spread the message about the good fats that are essential for a healthy life.

Udo, the founder of the global Healthy Fats Movement, developed the machinery to create FLAX OIL, used by millions of people worldwide, but what he shared in this interview about how we consume oils will shock you to the core.

Born as a child of war, Udo had a challenging start in life as he fled his war-torn country only to be abandoned on the roadside by his own Mother in a tragic tale of survival. Having seen the worst of mankind at an early age, Udo’s adversity helped him to discover his purpose in life from being a six-year-old child, and now he’s on a mission to share his message of hope.

It's an inspiring, empowering episode and one of the most important in terms of positivity and practical methodologies for ensuring that even individually, we can do our part to change the world we live in.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Human beings are instinctually caring and nurturing beings, but this sense is driven out of us by external factors. The way to make the world a better place is to shrug off the conditioning and return to a more caring nature.
  • The focus of society these days seems to be on money instead of life. We are ignoring the myriad ways in which the world can provide sustainable happiness, in search of bigger fortunes. This thinking needs to be reversed.
  • Never feel as though you are a minority in thinking that a return to nature is the way forward. Nature itself is on your side, and the evidence grows all around us now, and will outlast us when we are gone.
  • Life's mandate for creatures who eat has always been to consume fresh, whole, raw, organic, seasonal, local foods. Nature provides what we need, and yet we persistently defy its logic in search of unhealthy, ruinous alternatives.

BEST MOMENTS

ABOUT THE HOST

Not so long ago, life was barely recognisable for Ellie McKay, raising three children under five, battling post-natal depression, facing redundancy and walking into the job centre to claim benefits with a double pram, no confidence, and wracked with insecurities.

Fast forward to today, and life looks very different. Ellie committed to turning her life around for herself and her family. Following this commitment, she got to work and has now built multiple successful companies, as well as having created a multimillion-pound property portfolio from a standing start.

Ellie is now on a mission to make a positive impact and add value to others through her podcast which has attracted phenomenal guests worldwide. The show is specifically to help those trying to reach their full potential through its inspirational and motivational content, as well as challenging conventional wisdom to discuss all the “hot topics” in a relentless pursuit of the truth.

Now, I was thinking about there's so many directions that we can take this podcast.

to the nuts and bowls.

1:14.9
