Episode 034: Welcome to another episode of Real Health Radio, this week I’m joined by Scott Kustes.
Scott is a former Crossfit and Paleo evangelist who after many years realized the diet as was following wasn’t helping his health. He is the author of a series of books called Kill Your Diet and co-hosts his own podcast called Evil Sugar Radio. Gone are the days of focusing on extreme diets and restrictive regiments, now he prefers to focus on easy health advice, global health, food politics, and myths in the health industry.
