Hey everybody, welcome to Health Theory.

Today's guest is Carl Lenore.

He's a radio host and podcaster with millions of listeners and a burning desire to educate

the world on the realities of today's food system.

He's a self-proclaimed physical, culturalist and crusader and he's hell bent to use his

own innate curiosities to uncover what's really going on at the cutting edge of the

health sciences.

And Carl, the part of your story that I love the most is that this all started for you

with a bit of pain and probably a significant dollop of fear.

Walk us through what sent you down this path.

When I was 39 years old, I was diagnosed with a kind of unusual arrhythmia where the left

side and right side of my heart was beating out of sink.

And I was 330 pounds and I was the average American.

And I was eating and eating and eating and I wasn't active.

I was running a business that didn't require me to be active.

I sat at a desk all day long and I just turned into this sick human being.

My ex-wife bought me the book by Deepak Chopra, Ageless Beauty Timeless Mind.

And I couldn't tell you anything I read in that book except one passage and that was

that every cell in your body turns over anywhere from six weeks to six months.

You know, bone slower, tissue faster.

And I thought, if this is true, how do I best put myself in a position for those new

cells to be healthy as opposed to the sick ones that are in my heart?
