    Functional Medicine & Autoimmune Diseases w/ Alison Schechter, RDN

    Today, I have Alison Schechter with me to discuss Functional Medicine.  Ali is a Registered Dietician Nutritionist (RDN) and a lifetime best friend of mine.  We discuss how functional medicine looks at and treats the whole person versus traditional medicine, how important food is when it comes to mental and physical health, and Ali’s own personal battle with Crohns disease and how she has managed to tame it now for 13 years.  In a time when chronic disease in America is increasing significantly, I thought this was a super interesting and informative conversation to have.  I hope you enjoy! https://groverhealth.com/videos-and-gallery/ This is a public episode.

  7. Competition, Health, Community & CrossFit w/ HF Founder Chris Demuth Jr.

    Competition, Health, Community & CrossFit w/ HF Founder Chris Demuth Jr.

    Today, I have Chris Demuth Jr. with me discussing a variety of topics.  Chris is the founder of event-driven hedge fund, Rangeley Capital, he is an active member of the New Canaan community, and most recently has become quite the CrossFit buff.   What is so appealing about CrossFit to a man like Chris? In a time where many driving principles seemed flipped upside down and all around, CrossFit is a community that values hard work, healthy competition, a commitment to nutrition, and a strong sense of community based on common interests.   I really enjoyed this conversation with Chris about CrossFit, and how some of the lessons learned can be applied to living our every day lives.  I hope you enjoy!
