Natalie Davis and Pamela Cass continue their conversation with Troy Casey, the Certified Health Nut. Troy explains why returning to nature drives real health results. He calls out research bias in modern nutrition, the pitfalls of quick fixes, and the lure of influencer shortcuts. He offers a simple starting point, the mirror, then builds a plan around water, real food, sleep, movement, and sunlight. He closes with resources and his upcoming Vipassana retreat. Clear, simple, actionable.

Key takeaways
• Start with honesty. Look in the mirror and own the next step.
• Water first. Prioritize clean, mineral rich sources.
• Eat real food. Farmer direct when possible. Avoid pesticides and herbicides.
• Sleep with the sun. Honor circadian rhythms.
• Move daily. Walk an hour. Build from there.
• Ground outside. Seek morning light.
• Quality beats quantity. Nutrient density drives energy, mood, and body composition.
• Quick fixes hide costs. Pay the farmer or pay the doctor.
• Tune out hype. Judge progress by how you feel, move, sleep, and eliminate.
• Build community. Learn from practitioners rooted in nature, not gadgets.

Practical steps

1. Mirror work. Two minutes. Look into your eyes. Say, I love you. Breathe.
2. Water upgrade. Choose spring or properly filtered water. Carry a bottle while traveling.
3. Food audit. Swap one processed item for a farmer sourced option today.
4. Walk. Sixty minutes outside. Daily.
5. Morning light. Step outside within 30 minutes of waking. No sunglasses.
6. Sleep window. Target 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. most days.
7. Grounding. Barefoot on grass or soil for ten minutes.
8. Track basics. Sleep, steps, bowel movements, energy on waking.

• Vipassana meditation, dhamma.org
• Weston A. Price Foundation and Sally Fallon’s work

Our brains and bodies can become addicted to high cortisol states, making normal, relaxed states feel wrong. By recognizing and rewriting the stories we tell ourselves, we can break these cycles and create sustainable ways to thrive without constant stress.

• Understanding how neural pathways form and create "stories" that guide our behavior
• Identifying dysfunctional stories by noticing disconnects between desires and actions
• Creating new neural pathways requires consistent repetition, just like building muscle
• Three pillars of resilience: body science, soul science, and brain science
• Distinguishing between harmful stubbornness and genuine resilience
• Micro-changes consistently applied create more sustainable transformation than extreme measures
