TMHS 202: 7 Little Known Superfoods You Need to Learn About
The term “superfood” has been used more and more loosely as the years have gone by. It’s sort of like when a really skinny guy who doesn’t workout has abs… and you’re like, “Nah, that doesn’t really count. Put your shirt back on and stop flexing.” Well, at least that’s what I would have told my 12-year old self…
Superfoods are not the run-of-the-mill foods that you see everyday. These are foods that have rare nutrients, or concentrations of nutrients, or a completeness of nutrients that are rarely seen in nature. Broccoli is like abs on Justin Bieber. Real superfoods (like you’re about to learn about today) are like abs on Arnold Schwarzenegger. They are totally in a different league (and no disrespect to broccoli!).
You’re about to get the inside scoop on foods that are clinically proven to destroy cancer cells, foods that can regenerate and heal your ligaments, tendons, and bones, and even foods that can upgrade your entire immune system. Enjoy, and make sure to share this with the people you care about!

I really enjoy your podcast. Normally I listen while I am driving, which makes it very difficult to take notes or write anything down. I visited the show notes today to get the names of the superfoods that you talked about in the show only to discover that your show notes are more like a teaser about what you will be talking about. It would be nice, for episodes like this one, if you could provide a summary of the superfoods.
Thank you very much for the podcast!

Thanks Rich, we are working on a solution with the RSS feed. Seems to be we have too many episodes 🙂 Always a good thing.
I enjoy your show. I also enjoy nutrition facts.org. You recently touted blue green algae as superfood. Michael Greger just did piece on blue green algae being cause of neuro degenerative diseases due to BMAA neuro toxin in that substance. Superfood or neuro toxin?
If I started using some of these super foods, how long would it take to see an impact? I recognize each person is different, but I want to set a realistic expectation.
