Butter in Coffee, How to Tell if a Food is Healthy, and What Causes Dark Circles with Paul Chek

Recognized for his work in the fields of corrective and high-performance exercise kinesiology, stress management, and holistic wellness, Paul has been changing lives for over 30 years with his unique and effective approach to treatment and education. He’s the founder of the Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology (CHEK) Institute, an international speaker and consultant, the host of the Living 4D with Paul Chek podcast, and the author or co-author of 11 books to date, including How to Eat, Move, and Be Healthy!

As you can tell from the title, this episode has a lot of scope. Paul is incredibly knowledgeable about all things nutrition and how the food you eat affects not only your physical health but also your mental and spiritual well-being. He shares the backstory of the “butter in coffee” phenomenon he pioneered, explains how our bodies tell us what is and isn’t good for us, and unpacks the six foundation principles of health. We explore the taxonomic tree, chat about various forms of muscle testing, and look at the ideas that many fad diets and eating methodologies have in common. The end of this episode is a bit of a cliff hanger, so stay tuned for part 2!
