Episode 53 - Fireside Chat with Bobby Bunz

04/21/25 • 39 min

Right before the world changed I had an epic work trip to my New York studio Vitality NYC. Multiple live events, podcasts, meetings and clients from morning till night. I slept on the treatment table for weeks and showered at Planet Fitness across the street. Which doubled as a homeless shelter I later learned.
During this visit I surprised Bobby with a Cryo toning treatment we were going to start offering at the studio and recorded this really complex podcast during the process. Long story short, the practitioner decided to move to another country out of nowhere and it ended up never happening. I'm honestly not that interested in the process to feature it in a podcast. It did feel really good though and lowered surface inflammation.
Anyway, after the session Bobby and I sat to talk about his progress and challenges eating plant based, raw foods and fasting. Bobby lost over 150 lbs with a raw food and juice fasting.

Sam Shepherd Doesn't Want You to Eat Fruit - Episode 52

In this episode I once again sit with Sam Shepherd the developer of Valasta Astaxanthin and answer your questions from Instagram.

We finally address the “elephant in the room” when it comes to Sam’s ideas on eating whole fresh fruit.

Sam observers the correlation of increased fructose, particularly high fructose corn syrup, into American food products in the 1970’s with increased inflammation and disease. Concluding that the fructose molecule is the same in any form, even whole fruit, he believes it contributes to the inflammatory issues we see today. Particularly because many of the supermarket fruits we eat today have been hybridized to be bigger and sweeter.

Sam feels that a diet rich in antioxidants from vegetables and green juices buffers the effects of fructose and that’s the reason we don’t see fruit causing issues in much of the holistic health community. However, he feels that the average American on the typical S.A.D. should avoid it.

One of the best indicators to measure inflammation is a CRP (c-reactive protein) test. Since my diet is at least 50% fruit and my life tends to be stressful I told Sam I would run my CRP as an experiment.

I didn’t want to hold the episode up waiting for a test result. However, I did order a test from EverlyWell and will report back on the next episode as well as Instagram. Its a simple mail in test without requiring a lab visit. You can order that same test here: https://refer.everlywell.com/michaelperrine!704da4f6de!a
