Summary
Dr. Isaac and Erica have built their family over years of working together in business, curating their parenting practices, and navigating some of the most difficult and rewarding adventures possible for any parent. This wisdom has been hard-earned and deeply tested. Let their results be your map.
Their innovative and heartfelt approach to parenting landed them a feature in my book, Boundless Parenting, which is also available now in audiobook form, where you can listen to Dr. Isaac & Erica narrate their section of the book.
And this is the greater topic of today's podcast: Family and everything that comes with it.
We discuss topics ranging from parenting styles to love languages and even go into how I almost got a divorce and what Jessa and I did to weather our marriage problems (as well as Isaac and Erica's tactics for mitigating marital turmoil).
Credited as “The Doctor of the Future” by Jeff Arnold, the founder of WebMD.com, Dr. Jones is a relentless trailblazer in the realm of innovative healthcare solutions. He and Erica's brainchild, the Health Experts Alliance (HEA), serves as a beacon for progressive doctors and health entrepreneurs, guiding them to create predictably profitable businesses that prioritize freedom. Don't miss the Disrupt event coming soon to Atlanta, on September 28th, 29th, and October 1st.

| 0:00.0 | My name is Ben Greenfield and on this episode of the Ben Greenfield Life Podcast. |
| 0:04.3 | One of the things I love so much about homeschooling is that I can weave and we can weave the truth of who |
| 0:12.0 | God is into every aspect of education. Whether we're talking about science and how animals are created |
| 0:19.0 | or we're talking about nature and what's outside, even concepts around math and numbers, like all of |
| 0:25.2 | that was created by him. So in our homeschooling routine, we're reading through, I'm reading through |
| 0:31.4 | the Bible with my kids. I'm asking them, what did you get out of that? Did you hear anything that spoke |
| 0:36.8 | to you? And when we first started doing that, it was actually recommended to me by a curriculum |
| 0:43.8 | that I use. And I was kind of like, are they really going to get anything? Like, are they going to |
| 0:47.3 | get anything? If I'm reading out of the Old Testament, is anything going to really resonate with |
| 0:52.0 | them? Because when we started this, they were like seven and five. But the things that they would |
| 0:57.1 | get, the things that they would pull out. We're like sharks. It would surprise me. |

| 1:22.8 | So a while ago, I did a podcast with these folks that make oil. Now, you know that |
| 1:28.7 | her me talk about how seed oils are a huge problem. Vegetable oils are linked to widespread health |
| 1:33.8 | and environmental issues yet. They're in like everything that we eat. They're cheap. They're |
| 1:38.5 | found in most restaurants and packaged foods, even fancy restaurants, using them in their dressings |
| 1:42.4 | and their sauces and their marinades and their cooking oils. But the problem is these seed oils |
| 1:47.3 | are high in linoleic acid and omega-6 fatty acids. Two things your body needs, but not in the |
| 1:52.0 | amount you're getting them from seed oil. They're very high in inflammatory promoting compounds. |
| 1:56.6 | If you're eating them in the amount that the average person, sometimes even the average healthy |
| 2:00.6 | person is eating them. Now, when I interviewed these folks on a farm called Zero Acre, they described |
