Manage episode 251465131 series 28529
I recently had the pleasure to give a Q&A talk on all things health, wellness, nutrition, biohacking and more at Bouley's Test Kitchen in New York City. Every week, as part of his speaker series, world famous chef David Bouley brings in a physician or other guest expert to present on a topic or to answer questions, and each series is accompanied by a fabulous 5 star, multi-course meal that is both amazingly healthy and delicious.
I always enjoy giving these talks, and decided to record this one for your listening pleasure. Every member of the audience received a signed copy of my new book Boundless, so you'll hear me talk about the book a bit in this episode as well. Enjoy!
