It’s likely you know less about olive oil than you think you do. If you are picking up a three gallon jug from your local grocery store without checking the label first you may be surprised when you taste freshly-harvested, fresh-pressed olive oil for the first time. In addition to being great tasting, olive oil is a healthy, plant-based fat that can easily be incorporated into a keto diet. To find out more about the differences between low-quality and high-quality olive oils, Drew speaks with ‘The Olive Oil Hunter’ T.J. Robinson. Once a chef at the Biltmore Estate and a behind the scenes creator at the Food Network, T.J. now travels the world discovering the freshest, best tasting olive oil producers. During this episode, T.J. shares the proper way to assess olive oil, the health benefits of using fresh, unadulterated oils, and how to incorporate it into everyday cooking. Plus, he gives Fit2Fat2Fit podcast listeners a special offer.

Minerals are essential for proper body function. Mothers can increase their baby’s IQ score, improved cognitive function, and quality sleep with vivid dreams are all benefits based on the right ratio of minerals in the body. But, how do we know what minerals we may be deficient in and what minerals we may be getting too much of? Hair testing is proven more effective than blood tests in obtaining an overall picture of health by testing the elements present and omitted. To get a better understanding of how minerals improve our quality of life Drew speaks with the Founder of Upgraded Formulas, Barton Scott. Scott is a chemical engineer who created a technology using nanominerals that are absorbed by the cell without the use of digestion. During the conversation, Barton describes the personal circumstances that led him to create nanomineral technology, the manner in which minerals shape our daily lives, and some benefits of taking mineral supplements.
