Welcome to what drives you. I'm Kevin Miller. I spent a lifetime performing and producing and doing.

Now I'm seeking how to be, how to find peace and fulfillment and my full potential as a human. So I investigate and contemplate and

educate human potential and I share it right here. I don't want mere happiness at this point. I want to find true joy, peace and fulfillment in every day. In this

episode what foods are you eating that qualify as actual food? One of my favorite nutritional guides of all time was not written by a doctor or

nutritionist but by a journalist, Michael Pollen. And the book that I'm going to be referencing here is called Food Rules. You can read it in probably about 30 minutes.

It's really just a distillation of much of Michael's research into what foods actually give us life and sustain us, what have nutrients

in it, life giving nutrients.

And to me the book is so blunt you can't miss it, it's humorous, and I find it very profound. The tagline for the book alone is significant to me. Here it is. Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.

And as you're about to hear though, eat food.

Well, he's going to define according to his research what that actually is.

Some of the chapters in the book are merely just a headline, such as

Rule number two, don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food.

Or Rule 19, if it comes from a plant, eat it. If it was made in a plant, don't. Rule 20. It's not food if it arrived through the window of your car.

So as we've been on this topic of supplements and through the window of your car.

So as we've been on this topic of supplements

in the previous episode where we discussed

what we're putting in our body that it doesn't need

and what we aren't giving our body

that it does need,

I'm gonna give you a rundown of Michael Pollan's food

rules as I find it just so helpful to me and I think it will be to you as well in

giving us easily digestible, pun intended, perspectives on what foods to eat and how to eat.
