About this episode

Dr. Rob Vasquez and Dr. Randy Johns, known as The Happy Healthy Guys, wellness experts dedicated to transforming lives through natural health and wellness practices. With a focus on nutrition, detoxification, and holistic living, they aim to empower individuals to achieve optimal health and vitality. Dr. Vasquez and Dr. Johns are passionate about educating others on the importance of a balanced lifestyle, free from toxins and harmful habits. They share their knowledge through online content, public speaking, and wellness programs, helping people across the globe lead happier, healthier lives.

 

In this podcast episode Dr. Rob and Dr. Randy, share their journey from traditional medical paths to embracing chiropractic care and holistic health approaches. Both doctors recount their personal experiences with health challenges that led them to question the conventional allopathic model, which often focuses on symptom management rather than addressing root causes. Their journey led them to explore various diets and health practices, initially adhering to calorie-restrictive models but eventually shifting towards a more holistic understanding of nutrition. The hosts also discuss their approach to improving metabolic health by addressing common misconceptions and providing practical strategies. They emphasize the importance of metabolic flexibility, explaining how consuming the right types of carbohydrates can actually improve sleep and overall health, contrary to popular low-carb diets. They also talk about the dangers of consuming high-oxalate foods like spinach and almonds, which can lead to serious health issues, including kidney problems.
