    Raising Children on Raw Foods | Q&A with Doug Graham | Ep 2

    Summary: In this talk, Dr. Doug Graham explains why health is not a diet, a trend, or a supplement plan — but a way of living aligned with human design. He breaks down the difference between health and medicine, why many raw food approaches failed, and why 80-10-10 has proven sustainable over decades. Covering sleep, strength training, fasting myths, supplements, aging, and longevity, Doug challenges “normal” health advice and reframes what it actually means to be healthy. The core message is simple: practice, consistency, and first-principle thinking create real, lasting health.
