004: Interview with John Allen Mollenhauer

Today on Build Your Utopia, we had the honor of having John Allen Mollenhauer as our first guest.

 

For those of you that do not know about John, you are in for a real treat. John is a expert in every definition of the word in Superfoods and Life Optimization.

 

By definition, Superfoods are nutrient-rich foods that are considered to be beneficial for both health and well-being. John is a great advocate of following a plant-based diet with 80% plants. However, he wasn't always this way.

 

A former bodybuilder, at one point he was quite the opposite as you can imagine. His current philosophy came from years of abuse on his own body with high protein, highly-supplemented diets that led him to a path of discovery, research, education, and enlightenment.

 

This new found purpose led him to creating Nutrient Rich, a leader in Superfood Nutrition with a breadth of fantastic Superfood products.

 

John didn't stop there. He also co-wrote The Curse of the Capable with Dr. Arthur Ciaramicoli, a former instructor at Harvard specializing in clinical psychology.

You can check out the book yourself here as well as others mentioned in the episode:

 

The Curse of the Capable, read in iBooks or Amazon

Performance Addiction, read in iBooks or Amazon

The Pleasure Trap, read in iBooks or Amazon

 

Finally, John is also the founder of a leading online program focused on helping others optimize their lifestyles and manage their stress levels through Performance Lifestyle. With Performance Lifestyle, he has been able to bring together leaders in psychology, nutrition, fitness, and more in an online community devoted to helping people just like you achieve and maintain proper work-life balance leading to optimal performance in all areas of life.

 

John is a truly brilliant leader in this space.

 

You are going to love learning about:

1. Humanities true nature and how it hurts you in today's lifestyle
2. Performance addiction and how society today has produced this epidemic
3. How to use your emotions as a guidance system to maintain your work-life balance
4. And more!

I know you are going to enjoy this episode just as much as we did.

 

As always, a special thank you to The Strand for our intro and outro music!
