This week, Dr. Tom Rogers sits down with the multi-talented Lucas Schmidt—actor, athlete, and trusted nutrition coach at Performance Medicine—for an honest, in-depth look at what it really means to “eat smart.” Dr. Rogers opens up about his own health goals as a 70-year-old striving for less inflammation and more muscle, while Lucas handcrafts a personalized nutrition plan—including a modified carnivore diet—after years of hands-on experimentation and research.
From uncovering nutrition myths (like low fat diets and the truth about whole grains) to discussing the pitfalls of processed foods, fiber, and even the real story behind vegetables and fruit, this episode gives you practical advice shaped by science, experience, and real patient outcomes. Whether you’re curious about anti-inflammatory eating, building muscle at any age, or just want to cut through confusing health trends, Dr. Rogers and Lucas deliver honest, empowering guidance you can actually use.
Tune in for simple, direct advice—and a few surprising revelations—to help you take control of your own health journey.
