Summary

Imagine that you spent your entire life dedicated to food, and that your love for food has led you to training with culinary experts in Spain, opening NYC restaurants, TV shows, and culinary awards. Now, imagine that the very thing you’ve dedicated your life to—and define yourself by—nearly killed you. Seamus Mullen doesn’t have to imagine this story, it’s his truth. His is an incredible story of how food can both fuel disease and illness and serve as the body’s salvation by feeding health and vitality...how food can push you to the brink, then bring you back from the edge—for Seamus, back to life. This is more than about Seamus’ amazing journey, detailed in his new cook book Real Food Heals, and how it has changed his relationship with food. It is an important message for anyone who thinks they need to be healthier, happier, and better. This special two-part episode with Seamus will inspire you to change how you think about food and how that shift can have an extraordinary impact on how you look, feel, and live.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Eat This Not That podcast. I'm John Hammond and this is Megan Murphy.
0:06.4	Hi everyone.
0:07.4	And this week we have a very special episode as we are going to discuss the incredible power
0:12.2	that food can have in dramatically changing your health, well, your life actually, for the better.
0:17.9	And we're actually joined by a very special guest this week. Yeah, we are
0:21.9	incredibly excited for today's very special guest. He is a celebrity chef, New York City
0:27.2	restaurateur, cookbook author. Maybe you've seen him on TV on shows like Iron Chef or Chopped. He's
0:33.2	been nominated for James Beard Awards. I mean, he has a crazy list of accolades.
0:55.4	He's a complete culinary badass, and we are so thrilled to have him. Welcome, Chef Seamus Mullen. How are you? Thank you. I'm well. Thanks so much for having me. Yeah, thanks for being here. It's awesome. Yeah, so I have known Seamus for several years now through the industry, and he has the most amazing story. and we're very lucky that he'll be sharing a little bit about his journey with all of us today. We just featured Seamus in our winter
1:00.5	issue of Eat This, Not That magazine. And it's incredibly inspiring how he completely transformed
1:06.7	his entire life. And at the root of that was really his relationship with food. So Seamus, if you
1:12.4	don't mind kind of diving right in, a little bit about your journey, maybe take us back a few years
1:17.2	to working in the stressful New York City restaurant kitchens and kind of how that lifestyle led
1:22.7	you down, maybe a downward spiral of your health. Yeah, well, everybody knows that chefs are
1:26.3	notorious for just
1:27.5	being really healthy people. Yeah. Yeah. Great work-life balance. And I was certainly no exception to that.
1:33.4	I spent the majority of my 20s, the last half of my 20s and almost all my 30s, pretty sick.
1:41.1	But I just did what most of us in the industry do, and particularly what chefs do,
1:46.5	put my head down and I didn't complain and just soldiered through the pain.
1:52.3	Initially, without knowing what was going on, just knew that I didn't feel great. I remember
1:57.2	calling my mom at one point, and I think I might have been like 29 years old and saying,
2:02.0	oh, God, I just wish I could trade my body in for a new body.
