Jason Karp:我年轻时追求卓越,在各个领域力求完美,但忽视了健康,导致一系列健康问题。我通过学习功能医学,改变饮食和生活方式,成功逆转了视力下降等问题。我创立Hu Kitchen和HumanCo,旨在提供健康美味的食物,改变现代食品体系,让人们过上更健康的生活。我倡导85/15的饮食原则,即85%的时间吃健康食品,15%的时间吃自己想吃的食物。我认为现代食品体系存在问题,其中大部分小麦含有草甘膦,对人体健康有害。我建议消费者购买有机食品,特别是那些经过浓缩加工的食品。 Shane Parrish:现代社会人们比以往任何时候都更注重锻炼和健康知识,但肥胖率却持续上升,这表明单纯的锻炼和知识并不能解决问题。我们应该关注食品体系中存在的问题,并寻求更健康的饮食方式。

Jason Karp was living what he thought was a successful life in his 20s. He graduated near the top of his class from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and was well on his way to becoming a successful hedge fund manager. But when he noticed a series of health issues cropping up - including the frightening diagnosis that he would go blind by the age of 30 - he made a series of life-altering decisions focused on his health and wellness. On this episode Karp dives deep into the changes he made that saved his life, and offers valuable insights into what you can do to live a healthier life.
