In this episode, we really dig into phytochemicals (also called phytonutrients). As well as hearing about Dr Fahey’s background, you’ll learn more about what phytochemicals are, what we know and don’t know about them, and to what extent they form an important part of human nutrition. We also cover the potential for negative effects, impact on specific communities including people with autism and Parkinson’s disease, and practical applications you can implement. Specifically, we cover: Intro (0:00) Jed Fahey’s Story (1:30) Discovering Phytochemicals (8:57) Organic vs Conventional (13:30) Classifying Phytochemicals (17:01) Why we need them (24:04) Unpacking Plant “Toxins” (42:53) Sulforaphane & How it Works (50:35) Impact of Gut Microbiome (1:10:54) Freshness vs Supplementation (1:14:54) Resveratrol: Good or Bad?
