Welcome back to the podcast for part 2 of my conversation with Andy Allan. If you’ve not already listened to part 1, it’s the last episode so go and check that out.In this episode, we dive into various topics, including my approach to abstinence from alcohol, touching on the social challenges of staying sober and the impact that appearing on Naked Attraction had on me and my dopamine levels.
Andy and I discuss the critical role of nutrition for a healthy lifestyle through the concept of Andy’s Dynamic Food List. We discuss the benefits of whole foods over processed ones, Andy’s family’s food journey and its effects on asthma and allergies.
Other areas we touch on including: fasting, a balanced approach to fitness, supplement use, psychedelics, parenting strategies and the wonderful world of dating apps.
Please enjoy this next part of my conversation with Andy.
