The difference between sprouts and mature vegetables, and why sprouts are so much more nutrient-dense.
Doug’s remarkable fitness at 58 and how sprouts contribute to his vitality and overall sense of well-being.
His experience with Juicero, how failure shaped his growth, and the mindset shifts that help him live a happy and fulfilling life.
Practical advice for integrating sprouts into your daily life—even if you’re just starting out—and how this simple change can make a big impact on your overall happiness.
How sprouting can be an affordable, simple, and sustainable way to improve health, especially during times of rising inflation, and why nourishing your body with natural foods leads to greater emotional and mental wellness.
Doug also shares his philosophy on living a joyful life, stressing the importance of resilience, purpose, and connection with nature in cultivating true happiness. If you’re looking for ways to boost your health and live more joyfully, this episode is packed with wisdom.
