Dr Douglas Graham on 50 Years of Raw Food & the 80:10:10 Diet

In this powerful interview, we sit down with Dr. Douglas Graham, author of The 80/10/10 Diet and a raw food pioneer with over 50 years of experience living the 100% raw lifestyle. We discuss the core principles of the 80/10/10 diet, why many people struggle to stay 100% raw, and what it really takes to succeed on this lifestyle long term. If you’ve ever been curious about raw food, fruitarianism, or the science behind natural health, this conversation is a must-watch.

Stephanie Seneff, PhD | MIT Scientist Warns: This Chemical is Everywhere (And It’s Dangerous)

April 1, 2025

We hear about toxins in our food all the time – but what if one chemical was quietly linked to the rise of so many chronic conditions and diseases? Autism, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, fatty liver disease, Parkinson’s, ADHD, even certain cancers?

Meet Dr. Stephanie Seneff, an MIT scientist who has spent years uncovering the shocking effects of glyphosate – the active ingredient in the world’s most commonly used weedkiller. Stephanie explains how this one component could be the root behind the biggest health crises of our time – and in this episode, she breaks down exactly how.

We cover:
🔥 The rise of glyphosate – where it came from & how it took over our food supply
🦠 How it disrupts your gut, microbiome, and nutrient absorption
💧 Deuterium – the “heavy hydrogen” affecting mitochondria & metabolism
🥑 How a low-deuterium diet (ketogenic, high-fat) may help reverse damage
❌ Why Ozempic ultimately won’t work full cycle
💉 Glyphosate in vaccines
🌍 AI & the future of medicine

Dr. Seneff’s research is controversial but the evidence is mounting. Could glyphosate be the silent spring of our time?
