Chapter 1: What is Doug's journey with sprouts?
I don't know why.
And vegetables. Well, vegetables I get taste better, right?
Theoretically, what happens is, you know, if you add salt, oil, or sweetener and you cook something, it doesn't necessarily taste better, but it manipulates the brain to make you want to eat more of it.
All right, guys, part three with Doug Evans, the Sprout King himself. Thanks for coming back. Hey, my pleasure, Sean.
I love you here.
You were one of my first viral guests ever. So thank you for coming on that first time.
Yeah, thank you.
Yeah, I remember a lot of those clips blew up.
Yeah, well, look, and now like the whole category of sprouting is blowing up.

Chapter 2: How are big food companies impacting health brands?
I'm seeing more and more videos about it. You were like the first person I feel like in that space.
Yeah, I mean, I think that what happened is let's just get right into it. When I moved to the desert, I realized I was not only in an environmental desert, I was in a food desert and that I wanted to eat clean eating. I've been eating plants, raw vegan plants for 25 years. So when I moved to the desert, I was like, what am I going to eat? So I literally asked the universe, what can I eat?
And it said, you can eat sprouts. And I knew about sprouts and I always thought of sprouts as a garnish or a side dish. But then with nothing else available, my perspective changed and I saw sprouts as food, not just as a garnish. I saw them as vitamins and minerals. And then I remembered that early quote from Hippocrates that said, let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.
And there's a place called the Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, and they serve people sprouts. That's what's on the menu, sprouts, to heal and treat chronic illnesses like cancer and heart disease and other stuff. They are treating them with sprouts.
Crazy. And you lived off sprouts for 30 days in a row, right?
Yeah, easily. 30 days or longer. And the fact is, I thought maybe I'd be missing something, and that's what caused me to go down the rabbit hole. And I went down. People say, where do you get your protein? Every single sprout contains every amino acid to form complete proteins. And if you have a variety of sprouts, you're definitely getting complete protein.
Right. Yeah, amino acids are the building blocks, right? Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, if you think about where does a horse, where does a cow, where does a grass-fed cow get its protein from? right, from grass. And you don't have to be a ruminant in order to process the amino acids into proteins.

Chapter 3: What are the dangers of the processed food industry?
So there are billions of people around the world that are eating just plants, but society, and this is what I love about your podcast is you tell the truth, society wants you to eat cooked food, processed food, refined food, meat, dairy, animal products, cereals, potato chips, fast food,
container a bag or a box will have a long shelf life and high margins whether they're using additives preservatives food coloring natural flavors they don't care it's like that industry just wants to profit off of you and the origins and i think you know this of the processed and ultra processed food industry are the tobacco companies right that's where they they came from you know when the cigarette sales started to decline
You know, RJ Reynolds, you know, bought Nabisco, right? And Philip Morris bought Kraft and General Mills. So the world shifted to them using the scientists and the marketing expertise to drive sales at the expense of human health.
Right. And you see a lot of these big food companies acquiring healthy local brands, like Siete Foods got acquired yesterday for 1.2 billion. Yeah. People are really upset.
Yeah, well, what's going to happen is they're just going to take the brand, leverage off of the goodwill, and push it as far as they can to make it profitable, and there's no interest in health.
Right. Yeah, Pepsi bought them out, so they're not really known for being healthy.
No, I mean, you know, and it's okay. Like, capitalism is perfect. What you want to do is just let the buyer beware and have people being tuned in. And the fact, like, for me, everything that I put in my mouth is a life or death decision. And, you know, on... Like one of our previous pods, we talk about cravings, right?

Chapter 4: Can sprouting be the ultimate survival food?
I went deep down the rabbit hole of the microbiome, and we have 38 trillion different microorganisms in our stomach that are non-human. yeast, fungus, parasites are living in our gut and they are processing what we eat and they are controlling and driving our cravings and our habits. So when people, the great example is when Morgan Spurlock did supersize me.
In the beginning, when he started to eat the McDonald's and was supersizing it, he kind of liked it. Right. Towards the end, he loved it because the microbes had shifted and they were highly addicted to that. So, you know, we, you know, especially in Vegas, there's gambling addiction, there's sex addiction, there's drugs, there's alcohol.
The number one addiction in the world is food because you don't have to gamble. You don't have to have sex, right? You don't have to smoke crack, but you have to eat. And as soon as you eat, it opens up the framework to the reptilian survival brain that just needs to eat. And this brain is wired that if you're eating food that is rich in fat, it causes the dopamine pleasure sensor in the brain.
Because if we were born into starvation and scarcity, and now there's food, someone has to tell the body to keep eating. If you think about a child, a baby, and I have a two-year-old baby, the way that she goes for the boob, the way that she wants the milk... It's not because the milk tastes good.
It's because the milk contains casein and the casein has a metabolic reaction in her brain that says, hey, this is my source of survival. I need this. And that's why when you take milk and you give it to an adult, even though there are no adults in nature that are consuming dairy. It just doesn't happen. What is dairy designed for? A baby calf to turn into a 2,000-pound cow, right?
That's what that milk is designed for. But if you give that milk to you, right you're gonna have like feel like oh okay milk is good i like milk people like milk and if you take cheese you're just condensing the water out concentrating the casein and the hormones that are inside so milk is just very addictive same thing with meat so we just have to be aware
that if you start to eat this, and the food companies play with this as well. They know like Pringles, you can't just eat one, right? Because the salt, the oil, and the fat makes it highly, highly addictive.
Did you see they just changed all the names of the food colorings to make it more kid-friendly?
Yeah.

Chapter 5: How does sprouting affect nutrition and health?
I was just on a panel with Callie Means and with Vani Hari, at Jesse Itzer's Running Man, which is amazing. He has a running event and he takes the initiative to have a food panel to talk about the atrocities that are going on in the food industry at a running. And it was so crazy. I went there with Mike Posner. I fed him sprouts and he did a 50K ultra on sprouts.
And then an hour and a half after he finished this five-hour race- He did a 16 song concert. What?
So he had all that energy.
All that energy. And it's all recorded. Jesse had like full camera crew. You could see. And he did the songs. And it was just amazing. And I was like an obstacle on this 50K Ultra where I was standing on the track with stainless steel tongs handing out sprouts to people while they're running.
Because the alternative is they're going to have gels and processed food and junk carbohydrates and junk protein as opposed to a natural way of getting their nutrients.
I'll pick sprouts over Gatorade.
Of course. Yeah. I mean, to me, there's no difference between Gatorade and like coolant fluid for my car, right? They even look the same. They radiate the same. So it's just a matter of being aware of what you're willing to eat.
Right. So sprouts for the food side of things. What about drinking? Are you just doing water?
Actually, most of my water comes from plants. I'm drinking this because I'm in Vegas and I'm just here and I'm not eating during this, but most of my water source is coming from eating raw fruits and vegetables.

Chapter 6: What are the hidden truths about our food supply chain?
By chewing them, you're extracting the water molecules from the cytoplasm of the plant, and you are getting structured water. So in a way, like this water that we're drinking here, the can is... incrementally better than the plastic bottle, but this can is lined with plastic.
I just found that out actually.
So it's lined with plastic. So the best thing is drinking in glass, but even better is to have a natural source of just eating your water through nutrient rich raw fruits and vegetables. Like a watermelon. Watermelon. But basically all raw fruits and vegetables have high concentrations of water.
Some people cook their fruits.
Yeah, I don't know why.
And vegetables. Well, vegetables I get taste better, right?

Chapter 7: Why is fresh food important for our health?
I mean, theoretically, what happens is if you add salt, oil, or sweetener, and you cook something, it doesn't necessarily taste better, but it manipulates the brain to make you want to eat more of it. So in my world with no added oil, no added salt, no added sweetener, you're eating. And one of the reasons people are overeating is because of the processing of the food.
So if I were to give you a head, a handful of sprouts, you'd eat X amount and you'd be like, okay, I'm done. But if we were to pour olive oil, vinaigrette on it, it's like you wouldn't even taste the sprouts. It's just a filler for it. So my idea is to eat the food in a natural state and think about like in nature, there are no animals in nature that are overweight.
Like you take a lion in the jungle and it's surrounded like king of the jungle. It could eat anything that it wants to. It eats when it's hungry and stops eating when it's full. It doesn't overeat, right? It's not gluttonous. But if you were to look at three animals, three mammals, three animals basically get chronic illnesses, humans, dogs, and cats.
So as soon as we're domesticated, that's when the chronic illnesses kick in.
That's crazy. Yeah. I see some fat dogs these days.
Oh my God. Well, and I'm sure the owner is also fat, right? So you're seeing fat dogs, fat owners. And look, it's not to me about shaming, right? This is about, you know, healthy, right? So we know, like all the studies on longevity show that a caloric restrictive diet is the best for longevity. We know that heart disease is the silent killer.
And we know that if you're eating raw fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, seaweeds, and sprouts, you reduce the risk of heart disease. This is just fact. So I'm not telling everyone, like what to eat or what not to eat. I'm just saying, open up your eyes and be aware that everything that you eat is a life or death decision.
And you want to be present with the food that you're willing to consume because there's no truer adage than what we grew up on is that you are what you eat, right? You are what you eat. So my philosophy is like, raise your standards of what you're willing to eat and then you will have a higher quality life.
Absolutely. And I really like your diet too, because I know last time we talked about this, but living off of sprouts and the food you eat isn't that expensive.

Chapter 8: How can we make better food choices?
So I'm very aware of what I'm eating, where it's coming from, where most people have no idea. Like the kids, they think food comes from the supermarket. They don't know where it's coming from, the farm or the origins of the food.
They don't tell you either.
They don't want you to know. They don't even know because most of the food companies are just brands and they're dealing with co-packers and the supply chains and the produce could be coming from anywhere in the world. There was an expose on Whole Foods where they had organic California medley vegetables Grown in China.
What? Yes, I'll send you the clip. How are they able to put that label on it then?
Well, because California Medley is just like a, you know, it's just a brand. It's just like they're just labeling it there. Wow. But then they put in the small print grown in China. So you don't know whether your produce is coming, you know, from over the border mixed with sewer sludge as fertilizer.
So that's where it's really important, you know, to be aware of the food that you're willing to eat.
Yup, I just found out for meat and seafood, actually, they could say USA-based if they just process it in the USA, but it could come from another country.
Yeah, I mean, I can't imagine eating that. If you look at foodborne illness and outbreaks from those things, you look at the concentration of toxicity in chemicals and heavy metals in it, and then the impact of LDL cholesterol on the arteries,
We have to really just take a breath and think about if we want to be healthy and we want to have the energy, we should raise our standards of what we're willing to eat.
