Jordan's journey began with a devastating diagnosis of Crohn's disease, a severe inflammatory bowel condition that left him wheelchair-bound after consulting 69 medical experts. After losing over 80 pounds and exhausting conventional treatments, he discovered a radically different approach rooted in whole foods, gut healing, and ancient dietary practices. The result: a complete transformation in his health. Jordan went on to become the author of more than thirty books and founder of multiple natural health companies. In this conversation, he shares insights from his newest book, The Biblio Diet, which explores how biblical-era food practices align with modern research on metabolism, inflammation, and the microbiome.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Red meat and grains as controversial superfoods Modern agriculture and nutrient depletion The role of supplementation in modern nutrition Parenting and raising children with a real-food lifestyle The psychological and spiritual dimension of healing (hope and belief)   More from Jordan Rubin: Book: The Biblio Diet by Jordan Rubin Website: thebibliodiet.com Instagram: @jordansrubin   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?
