Jayton Miller:
Welcome back to the Thermo Diet Podcast. I'm your host, Jayton Miller. And today I have on the podcast, functional nutritional therapy practitioner, Travis Harris. So Travis, I found originally on Instagram and he has a great Instagram page. He has a really cool website. He does one-on-one coaching. So if you're interested, make sure to give him a look. In this episode, we talk about the individualization of eating and listening to your body, the rate of living theory versus the bio-energetic theory of health. We talk a little bit about the first thousand days of life and proper child nutrition. And then towards the end of it, we also talk a little bit about psychology and some different strategies that are out there in terms of helping you align your psychological health with your physical health. So I look forward to you listening to this episode and let's dive into it. How's it going today, guys. Today, I'm here with Travis Harris. How you doing today, Travis?
Travis Harris:
I'm doing well. How are you doing Jayton?
Jayton Miller:
I'm doing very well. So for the listeners out there who might not know who you are, do you mind giving them a background?
Travis Harris:
Yeah, so I guess my official working title is functional nutritional therapy practitioner. I got certified through the Nutritional Therapy Association and went a little my own direction through the discovering the work of Ray Peat and bioenergetics. And I work with clients one-on-one and we work on restoring flow of energy through the body, and that looks different for everyone.
Jayton Miller:
Awesome. How long have you been doing that?
Travis Harris:
I've been working one-on-one with clients for about a year now.
Jayton Miller:
Sweet. And you said that you'd been in the realm of bioenergetics for almost a decade now?
Travis Harris:
Not bioenergetics, working on my health for about that long. I don't know. I've probably been into Ray Peat's stuff for about three years now.
Jayton Miller:
Okay. Awesome. So what part of it do you enjoy the most, I would say?
Travis Harris:
There's so much variation and it's a combination of a lot of things I'm interested in. I like the understanding of metabolism and bioenergetics, how that kind of plays out as like a fundamental layer of reality, like the whole interplay of structure and function. It's just a fun thought experiment, but then, it's also super rewarding to be able to work one-on-one with people and then help them understand their bodies, understand what they need, understand that they can live a life free of a lot of restricted diets that keep them down to a certain way of living and yeah, just enjoy helping people find a new way that's sustainable, a new way of eating that they can just continue forever and not have to binge or fall off the wagon and hate themselves.
Jayton Miller:
Definitely. You talk about the individualization of eating and listening to your body. Do you mind going into that and why certain things might be different for other people?
Travis Harris:
Yeah. I think everyone
