Join Elle Bottrell & Jon Feingold as they discuss what it means to LYHL - Live Your Healthiest Life. Jon is intuitively curious and a wealth of knowledge, insight, and humility. He is a law professor at Boston University and a critical race theorist. Yes, he studies CRT, which he is surprised to find has become such a mainstream topic for such an academic pursuit!

At BU, he teaches property law and this includes how conquest and slavery have impacted property laws!

Over the course of our conversation we discuss:

• Curiosity
• The impact of education
• Luke Harris, Kim Crenshaw and the African-American Policy Forum https://www.aapf.org/
• critical race theory
• making sense of the world we live in
• fighting for the dignity of people
• his podcast "Race Class" https://soundcloud.com/user-808872105
• Victor Ray - "On Critical Race Theory"
• ongoing impacts of and loss from the COVID-19 pandemic
• structural and communal impacts of the pandemic
• public and private interests limiting access to high quality food
• eating food that doesn't poison you
• why and how he stopped eating bread & the positive impact he feels
• being comfortable in the kitchen, getting sufficient sleep, exercise
• the need for super affordable childcare in the US ($10/month!) in the wealthiest country in the world
• importance of social connections & communal meals
• natural mythology
• the current toxic, inhumane political environment
• how ones access to safety and dignity can vary bases on the state you live in the U.S.
• Kiese Laymon's memoir  "Heavy"
• how sometimes we are the worst to the people we should be the best to
• how do our actions allow others to live their healthiest lives?
