LISTEN ON: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY
Naturopathic doctor and functional food expert, Dr. Tyler Jean, breaks down his holistic food philosophy and explains how you can create a nutrient-dense, wholesome diet that works for your body.
Dr. Tyler Jean has experimented with just about every food identity out there. As a college athlete, he lived by the nickname “Protein Jean” before doing a complete 180° and building an Instagram following based on plant-based eating. Now, he combines the best of the vegan and Paleo lifestyles to empower his patients as a naturopathic doctor.
We dive into the foundations of good health, exploring the root cause of common ailments without the “pill for every ill” approach, the pillars of digestive health, and how to listen to your body for cues. Plus, he shares the actionable rituals you can add to your day to elevate your body and mind, and the morning matcha recipe you’re not going to be able to live without.
