A Sunday Chat with Pete Evans
Chef Pete Evans, an Australian TV personality and host of the podcast H.E.A.L., started working full-time as a chef at 17 years old and has over 25 books to his name. As a dad, a health coach and a developer of supplements and ready-made meals, Pete passionately shares his knowledge to help people from all generations and backgrounds achieve and maintain mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing.
“The only way to really know something is to experience it.”
This week I sit with Pete in the sun on the front steps of my house. (Please bear with us if you hear a few planes flying overhead as we chat.) The weather was so nice, and with Pete having just gotten off a plane, we just could NOT sit indoors for this one! We chat about all the things Pete’s been up to while visiting LA—from brain scans to dinner with Robert Kennedy Jr.—and dive into Pete’s culinary education and how applicable traditional cooking is to the more recent paleo movement. We go down a few rabbit holes as you may expect, and round out the episode with some really solid takeaways for our listeners.

After my recent podcast with Seed co-founder, Ara Katz, I began to dig a little deeper into the traditional "probiotic" industry—only to be quite disappointed with the reality of the effectiveness of almost all probiotic products on the market. Seed, on the other hand, has 23 strain-specific clinical studies behind it that demonstrate its effectiveness. Their innovative 2-in-1 capsule also nests the probiotics inside a prebiotic (sourced from Indian pomegranate and organic wild-harvested Scandinavian chaga and pine bark) capsule for additional protection, ensuring the probiotics actually get where they need to be inside of you—your gut.
