What if the food on your plate is either slowly breaking you down or building you up? In an effort to continue the ongoing theme of living a flourishing life here at Building Thinkers, I sat down with Brad Fuster. He’s a university provost, former world-touring percussionist, and someone who went from 245 pounds, smoking a pack-a-day, and a chronic arthritis diagnosis to being 53, medication-free, and in the best health of his life. Brad has been whole food plant-based since 2013, and in this conversation he explains the difference between veganism and actually eating well, he shares the practice that put his psoriatic arthritis into full remission, and he breaks down why protein is probably the last thing you need to worry about. Key Takeaways:There’s a meaningful difference between being vegan and eating a whole food plant-based diet.The medical system is built around symptom management, not true wellness.Water fasting can reset your microbiome and improve health.Inflammatory conditions can potentially be addressed through diet and fasting.You don’t have to go fully plant-based to see benefits in your health.Timestamps:0:00 Introduction1:49 Brad’s transition to a plant-based diet5:24 Myths about protein in vegan diets8:17 The new food pyramid and nutrition education12:35 Difference between veganism and whole food plant-based diet15:38 Brad’s experience with water fasting19:39 Practical tips for increasing whole food plant intake21:10 Environmental impact of animal agriculture22:15 Final thoughts Resources Mentioned:Leading with Change When the System is Stacked Against You with Brad FusterThrive Fitness by Brendan BrazierCheck out Rich Roll on InstagramThe Game Changers (Documentary) by James CameronEdUp Innovation with Dr. Neal BarnardYour Labs Are Normal, But You Feel Awful - Now What?

I want to build thinkers. This is a community of multi-potentialites who may be disoriented by all the possibilities of success we envision but haven't yet achieved.If any of that sounds like you, come listen in.
