TMHS 151: 4 Unusual Foods That Can Help Transform Your Body

Published: March 29, 2016, 8:45 p.m.

Growing up I never really liked vegetables. As a matter of fact, I didn\u2019t like very many foods at all outside of the staples of hamburgers, fish sticks, macaroni & cheese, and sandwiches. These things tasted great to my tiny palate, and set the template for my eating habits for years to come.

It surprises people when they hear that I didn\u2019t eat my first salad until I was 25 years old. Yep, you heard that right. No green leaf doth pass my lips, and I loved thee not. But everything changed when I learned about the power food had to change my body, and there really was no looking back after that.

Since turning my health around in my early 20\u2019s I\u2019ve eaten more fun, exotic, and even unusual foods than you can shake a finger at. And what I\u2019ve learned is that certain foods have actually been staples in the diets of our ancestors, but we have somehow lost sight of them in lieu of Pop Tarts and pizza.

Today\u2019s powerhouse episode is a reintroduction to the classes of foods that all of us need to add into our diets on a regular basis.
