😮‍💨 The problem - unreliability in olive oil quality and certification

play00:07

aging and reverse it the question I get

play00:09

most frequently is give me the one thing

play00:11

I can do in my life because you're busy

play00:13

you have stuff going on and you don't

play00:15

have the team to do all this complexity

play00:17

so I'm going to tell you it may surprise

play00:19

you it's better than ver veratrol NR

play00:23

cold plunges saunas and your favorite

play00:26

podcast it's that good it's extra virgin

play00:29

olive oil

play00:31

[Music]

play00:35

but not just any of a particular type

play00:37

and I'm going to explain to you how you

play00:39

can identify the right olive oil so that

play00:42

you can achieve the health benefits uh

play00:44

the evidence shows is possible I consume

play00:46

Evo with every meal every day because

play00:48

when you eat it causes damage in your

play00:50

body I didn't know this I recently

play00:52

learned it myself and so Evo is

play00:54

protective against that damage these

play00:56

studies show improvements in weight

play00:58

management blood pressure blood sugar

play01:00

levels cholesterol heart health brain

play01:03

health and mood the scientific evidence

play01:05

is compelling extra virgin olive oil is

play01:08

in an elite

play01:11

category I'll take you on a quick detour

play01:14

chocolate is a well-known thing that's

play01:15

good for you but that might lead you to

play01:17

eat a Snickers bar which is not a good

play01:19

thing if you follow all five layers it's

play01:22

dark chocolate undouched tested for

play01:24

heavy metals and a high polyphenol count

play01:27

once you meet those criteria yes then

play01:30

chocolate is very good for you but if

play01:31

not don't e the Snickers bar the same is

play01:34

true with extrav Virgin Olive Oil you

play01:35

need polyphenols and OIC acid and a

play01:37

whole bunch of other criteria and so we

play01:39

had this problem where we knew how

play01:41

strong the evidence was for the health

play01:43

benefits of extra virgin olive oil but

play01:46

we couldn't rely upon the quality and

play01:48

the guarantees of others your olive oil

play01:50

may not be what it claims to be

play01:53

sometimes we're finding oil is

play01:55

adulterated with oil other than Olive

play01:58

Oil we were kind of chasing it like

play02:00

where's your certificate of analysis

play02:02

what are the levels when is was a

play02:03

harvest so we decided to fix the problem

play02:05

ourselves and we started a supply chain

play02:07

acquiring this extraversion olive oil

play02:09

from both hemispheres to always have a

play02:11

Fresh Harvest and just like with

play02:13

chocolate we do the same criteria for

play02:14

the extraversion olive oil so in the

play02:16

notes below I'm going to post the

play02:18

criteria that you want to look for when

play02:20

buying your extraversion olive oil that

play02:22

matches what the scientific evidence

play02:23

shows is uh used for the studies and so

play02:26

you can buy it from me or find another

play02:27

supplier I'm good either way do

play02:31

thing I love the extra virgin olive oil

play02:34

it's so different than what I grew up

play02:35

with like I had it a few times as a kid

play02:37

it just kind of bland and taste this is

play02:39

Rich and peppery almost to the point

play02:41

where you cough if you take it straight

play02:43

and so I feel like I'm becoming like an

play02:45

olive oil uh small is it small like I I

play02:49

can now try to tease out these different

play02:52

flavors and regions and harvest so it's

play02:55

been a fun game but yes it adds a spice

play02:58

and fun to all my food

play03:02

we've priced this Evo I think it is the

play03:05

best priced Evo for the quality on

play03:08

Market let me know your thoughts but

play03:10

like it legit uh we have basically like

play03:12

almost no profit on this thing so I'm

play03:14

really trying to make this thing

play03:15

accessible uh excitingly we have a full

play03:18

blueprint product stack coming out in

play03:20

just a month so we're trying to compete

play03:23

for the dollar for dooll calorie for

play03:26

calorie the most nutritious food product

play03:28

in history we want to be at that level

play03:31

and it has more evidence behind it than

play03:33

I think anything in the entire Market

play03:35

we're excited for you to try it tell us

play03:37

what you think we really took the same

play03:39

approach that if you ask the body what

play03:42

it needs to be its best self we've tried

play03:44

to deliver that in a form that is

play03:46

Affordable um and again that competes

play03:49

for the best nutrition of your life if

play03:52

anything I want to be a positive voice

play03:55

in your ear so don't buy anything from

play03:58

me I just want to be a positive

play04:00

influence and whether that's should I

play04:01

stay up and binge watch my show or go to

play04:04

bed should I have this donut or skip it

play04:06

play04:12

self I don't want anything I do in the

play04:14

world uh commercially to compromise our

process and I hope we can build on that

play04:21
