Kevin Gianni -- author of Kale and Coffee: A Renegade's Guide to Health, Happiness, and Longevity -- returns to the podcast to discuss his journey from a food-obsessed, raw vegan YouTube celebrity to a healthier, happier version of himself. 


Here's what we talked about: 

5:03 How Kevin’s time as a vegan, raw foodie YouTube celeb led him to an unhealthy obsession with food. 

12:14 The reason why good intentions don’t always equal good health and how anything taken to the extreme will eventually make us sick. 

15:14 The one thing Kevin’s doctor told him he needed to do to save his health – and why Kevin didn’t do it right away.

18:13 Is it helping or hurting? Kevin transitions to eating meat and deals with the thin line between helping people and hurting people in the health space. 

22:51 Kevin runs into another health challenge (by eating only organic foods!) and the most important thing he learned from not being able to button his pants. 

27:45 Kale, coffee and kids: Finding a more reasonable, realistic way to be healthy without going off the deep end. 

30:38 The health expert reality TV show: How we get stuck on only part of the story and why health studies, gurus and experts should never be the be-all, end-all for our health information. 

35:05 “If you lose the mental game, you lose the physical one.” Advice from Kevin’s 93 year old grandfather about keeping your mind and attitude in good shape. 

38:57 What we can learn from some of the longest living humans on earth and how you can apply it to your own life.
