Dr. Alan Goldhamer is the co-founder of True North Health Center, the world's largest facility specializing in medically supervised water-only fasting. Founded in 1984 and located in Santa Rosa, California, Truth North has seen well over 20,000 people complete upwards of 40-days of consuming only water. The True North health experience is a fully supported adventure that includes modalities like meditation, yoga, psychotherapy, workshops, and education. True North is an alcohol-free, stimulant-free environment designed to allow guests to fast, detoxify, lose weight and make the lifestyle changes they desire in a health-promoting, therapeutic environment. Dr. Goldhamer is co-author of a game-changing book that I read many years ago entitled The Pleasure Trap; Mastering the Hidden Force that Undermines Health & Happiness. As you can imagine, anything with the word "mastering" in its title has our attention because, for YogiTriathlete, mastery is the only option. This episode is information-rich, we hope you enjoy it and take something away to uplevel your health today. In this episode, we discuss: - the pleasure trap - why people are obese in industrialized countries - what is poo’ing inside of you? - living a good life and dying a good death - why athletes age out of their sport - healthy people need younger friends - dehydration as a cause for injury - strategic fasting for athletes - the foundations of health - radical life of eating well and exercising - ancient roots of fasting - what the research says about feeding windows - hard workouts during a fast is a mistake - the most powerful way to mobilize visceral fat We recognize our Patreon community for their support.
