Summary
When Reid–a father to two children and sports enthusiast–continued to get injuries and feel fatigued, he decided to make dietary and lifestyle changes to improve his own health and inspire his kids to adopt similar habits. By transitioning to eating a whole-foods anti-inflammatory diet alone, his energy, chronic pain, and mood improved. His 1 and 3-year-old eventually caught onto the craze of these healthier foods, which caused noticeable positive changes in their temper, sleep, and energy. In the episode, he speaks about what foods he and his kids now eat and how (to his own surprise) ice baths played a major role in his healing.

| 0:39.6 | without first speaking with your doctor. Now, let's head to the show. Hey everyone, today I spoke with, |
| 0:45.6 | actually one of my best friends, Reed Treger, about this recent, I suppose, epiphany that he had |
| 0:52.2 | regarding what you eat impacts how you feel. |
| 0:57.9 | And his story was a nice exemplification of how chronic aches and pains and muscle pulls |
| 1:05.9 | and also fatigue and a little bit of anxiety can be wonderfully resolved from paying more |
| 1:15.4 | attention to weeding out pro-inflammatory omega-6 seed oils from one's diet, focusing more |
| 1:23.7 | on unprocessed healthy foods that are devoid of these seed oils and also have higher |
| 1:29.5 | omega-3 and also healthier levels of protein in them. And how cathartic ice baths also were for him. |
| 1:38.7 | And we go over a really inexpensive home setup. And he is a nice example also of someone who does not like the cold. |
| 1:47.5 | So this is a good person to kind of pick their brain if you are someone who also does not love |
| 1:52.5 | the cold in terms of how he got started with using ice bath therapy. And to round it all out, |
| 2:03.6 | he got his entire family, and namely his two small children, on board with converting from things like goldfish and those little pouch |
| 2:11.1 | yogurts that are loaded with sugar to things like the Paleo Valley meat sticks and other |
| 2:16.8 | healthier, healthier, |
| 2:18.3 | uh, healthier, excuse me, alternative. So this was a great example of all of the benefits |
| 2:23.3 | that one can gain from focusing on their diet, from using ice baths, and then also |
| 2:32.3 | how we can get a family on board with this. |
