Team, today we are joined by Dr. Tyler Jean who, being an absolute weapon, has his B.S. in Cell Molecular Biology and as of 2021 is now a certified Naturopathic Doctor! Dr. Jean became a doctor mainly due to his personal dedication and experience working to address generalized anxiety, asthma, eczema, and ADHD. Through his Naturopathic work, he had an epic “aha” moment and became dedicated to something we love here at The Epic Table: Bio-Individuality. As a division 1 swimmer at UCSB, eating the standard American diet, he saw the need for a shift and began testing numerous alternative diets. He eventually transitioned to fully vegan for 18 months and now eats a plant-centric diet. Dr. Jean saw how we can work with our bodies through focusing primarily on our food intake to ultimately optimize ourselves to be in balance and prevent disease.In this episode we specifically discuss...Dr. Jean’s passion for educating on foodHis drive to continuously learn past his research on type 1 diabetes and cell molecular biologyThe relationship between our parasympathetic nervous system and the food we eatHeart Rate Variability and specifically how, through a naturopathic lens, we can become more resilient to stressorsShould we be drinking alcohol? How to apply fats from your pantry into your foodResources...Dr. Tyler Jean’s Instagram -(@Functional.Foods https://www.instagram.com/functional.foods/)Dr. Tyler Jean’s website -(https://tylerjean.com/)Dr. Tyler Jean’s Recipe eBook - (https://tylerjean.com/recipe-book-landing-page/)
