The Dylan Gemelli Podcast

Episode #153  Featuring Dr. Joel Fuhrman  The creator of the NUTRITARIAN DIET! 

I was introduced to Dr. Joel Fuhrman by my great friend Javant Benton known online as "Healthy Vegan Eating".  After interviewing Javant, he told me that Dr. Fuhrman was his mentor and that I absolutely had to meet him... I am extremely happy that I did!  Dr. Fuhrman is my kind of guy, as he is very outspoken on his belief set with diet and brings the facts to back it up!  Throughout the interview, Dr. Fuhrman adamantly defended his advocation for a nutrient-dense, plant based diet and its ability to reverse chronic disease.  

 

For over 30 years, Dr. Fuhrman has shown that it is possible to achieve sustainable weight loss and reverse heart disease, diabetes, and many other illnesses using smart nutrition. In his medical practice, and through his books and television specials, he continues to bring this life-saving message to hundreds of thousands of people around the world.  He coined the term "Nutritarian" to describe a nutrient-dense eating style — designed to prevent cancer, slow aging, and extend lifespan. 

Dr. Fuhrman is a 7 TIMES New York Times Best Selling Author!!  

 

IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER: 

 

Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s background: how his interest in nutrition began through athletics, family health issues, and his decision to go back to medical school.

The gap between nutrition education in medical school and real-world nutrition research/practice.

The idea that food is medicine, and that conventional medicine often treats symptoms without addressing root causes.

Lifestyle medicine and “deprescribing” medications safely when diet and health improve.

His Nutritarian approach: a nutrient-dense, plant-rich way of eating focused on longevity and disease reversal.

The G-BOMBS foods: greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries, and seeds as core anti-cancer foods.

Why raw and cooked vegetables both matter, with special emphasis on cruciferous greens.

The role of beans as high-protein, low-glycemic foods that support satiety and health.

Why oils, including olive oil, are viewed as harmful in this framework because of calorie density and appetite stimulation.

The risks associated with animal products, especially red meat, eggs, fish, and farmed seafood.

Protein for athletes: plant-based protein can support many people, but maximal muscle gain may involve trade-offs with longevity.

Practical meal structure advice, especially building lunch around a large salad, bean soup, greens, and nut/seed-based dressings.

The importance of nutrient density, diversity, body fat reduction, omega-3 status, and limiting exposure to medical drugs.

Prepare to be enlightened, entertained and challenged to look at foods and diet in a different perspective!!  DO NOT MISS THIS EPISODE!

Episode #152 Featuring Justin Roethlingshoefer!  Holy Health:  Habits and Rhythms to Heal Your Body and Transform Your Life! 

I know that I say this often, but I want to reiterate how blessed I am for the people I get to interview and the friends that I am able to make.  I speak to people of all walks of life and get to talk about every topic known to man.  I can go back to every episode and still remember something that stood out to me, that really hit home and made an impact.  In saying that, I am always careful to ever say someone is my favorite guest or make it seem I prefer one of the others, that would be untrue HOWEVER when it comes to pure resonation and personal impact, my interview with Justin Roethlingshoefer hit me in an entirely different way.  His true grasp of utilizing his God given gifts, especially with regards to Wisdom has made an everlasting impact on me and will to all of you!  He is one of a kind and his voice is one that must be heard!  

 

In our in depth discussion, we talked about faith, identity, discipline, accountability, and what it actually takes to transform your life from the inside out.  One of the biggest themes was the power of language. We discussed how the words we use—especially the words we say to ourselves—can either keep us stuck or move us forward. Justin shared a simple shift that hit me: replacing “I can’t” with “I choose not to.” That change forces us to take ownership of our choices instead of hiding behind excuses. We also got deep into stillness, prayer, breath work, and learning to listen.  Justin explained how God and our bodies often speak in whispers, but it is hard to hear either when life is filled with distraction and noise.  A major part of our discussion was transformation. We both agreed that it is not a one-time event—it is a lifelong process. Real discernment, wisdom, and freedom come after we begin changing our habits, renewing our minds, and getting honest about the things that pull us away from who God called us to be.  We talked about accountability and ownership too.  We then moved into a discussion on how sleep, nutrition, movement, recovery, heart-rate variability, and nervous-system regulation all work together. We talked about why health cannot be one-size-fits-all, why extreme diet labels can become distractions, and why learning to understand your own body is more valuable than blindly following someone else’s rules. At the center of it all was this: health is not just about looking good, hitting numbers, or chasing perfection. When your foundation is God, the way you eat, sleep, train, recover, and live becomes an act of worship.  Justin’s book, Holy Health, is built around that message—understanding who God says you are, learning what your body needs, and using your health to better serve your purpose and the people around you.

 

There are not enough words to type about how much this interview meant to me on a personal level and how much of an impact Justin was put on earth to make!  I encourage everyone to let his words resonate and to take everything he speaks to heart!  Calling him special is far too big of an understatement!  DO NOT MISS THIS EPISODE!!

Episode #151:  My Special Guest Appearance on the HUMAN UPGRADE Podcast with Dave Asprey
On occasion, when I have a highly impactful guest appearance on another podcast, I will publish it here for all of you to listen!  THIS interview was a no brainer for me to publish!  I knew that going into my discussion with Dave, there would be a great synergy but I had no idea it would be to such a high extent.  To call this entertaining, would be a drastic understatement.  Dave has the kind of dry humor that I appreciate to the highest extent, a type of FUN that brings joy and laughter into my life and our back and forth was FILLED with this.  You will hear a lot of chuckles, pauses with smiles and laughing but also, a wide array of topics most people refuse to touch.  We both have a no holds barred way of conveying our message and while we both come across differently, the points are well received and the synergy between our thoughts is not just entertaining but keeps you guessing and wanting more.  This is the kind of stand out conversation, where we will go after “polarizing” topics, go against the grain without concern and both of us not be bothered by negative criticisms because our mission to deliver TRUTHS is far more important.  Prepare to be entertained but enlightened, laughing but learning and enthralled from start to finish.  The only part of this that I did not enjoy was when it ended, but I have a feeling, we have PLENTY MORE discussions together to come... ENJOY!

 

In this episode of The Human Upgrade, Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dylan Gemelli for a candid, systems-level conversation about peptides, research chemicals, SARMs, and the gray zone between medicine, performance enhancement, and personal responsibility. They explore what research chemicals really are, why peptides fall into that category, and how legality often has little to do with biological risk or effectiveness. The discussion spans MK-677 and growth hormone signaling, muscle versus strength, testosterone optimization, nicotine versus tobacco, and the tradeoffs between aesthetics, performance, and long-term function. Dave and Dylan also examine diet failures, metabolic recovery, exercise myths, and why modern healthcare discourages self-experimentation and medical autonomy. Throughout the conversation, Dave shares personal experiences rebuilding his health using unconventional tools, framing biohacking as a smarter-not-harder approach to human performance, longevity, and taking ownership of your biology

 

You’ll Learn: 

1.  What research chemicals actually are and why peptides fall into that category

2.  How compounds like MK-677 stimulate growth hormone and affect muscle recovery

3.  Why SARMS differ from steroids and where the real risks come from

4.  The difference between tobacco and nicotine and why low-dose nicotine can support brain optimization

5.  How performance enhancement fits into longevity, metabolism and functional medicine thinking

6.  Why strength and neurological driver matter more than size alone

7.  How to think clearly about supplements, nootropics and biohacking tools without fear or hype

8.  Why taking responsibility for your biology is not cheating

SPECIAL EPISODE #150!!!!  Mind, Body and GOD!   Unlocking the path to obtaining FULL Health Alignment! 

 

For my 150th Episode, I wanted to provide what I felt would be the most IMPACTFUL message I have ever given.  This is not about a big name guest or click bait hooks of any kind.  This is simply about IMPACT... I want to provide hope and inspiration along with CLARITY to everyone.  I have found that the biggest issue amongst people trying to learn and make changes is CONFUSION.  Mixed messaging and extremism is rampant and it is causing people to lose hope in who they should listen to and what they should do in their journey through life.  

 

This episode is not a lecture, nor a scripted speech.  It is a Holy Spirit driven message on what I have learned throughout my entire life on how to TRULY obtain Total Health Alignment.  It is not a trick diet, use of miracle drugs or supplements, biohacks, "conventional man made medicine" or any other type of new fad and craze.  

 

It requires a full connection starting with a FOUNDATION.  That foundation is GOD... when that foundation is developed, we then move to the mind and body and work on key aspects of daily life actions, changes, thoughts and practices that allow us to progress in becoming guided, healthy and fulfilled.  My message may not resonate with everyone and that is okay, but I do want it to be heard and given deep thought.  When we look into our hearts in silence and without distraction, God is there, waiting with open arms to carry us through life and to help us become our very best.  

 

THANK YOU to EVERYONE for the ongoing support and feedback!  Each one of you inspires me to press forward, working harder with a deeper mission.  I have only just begun and my goal to bring everyone to complete health is my mission and THY WILL BE DONE!

I have been blessed to have some of the most brilliant minds in the world come to interview with me and as we move forward, I have even bigger aspirations, huge new projects, even more highly impactful speakers as well as doing my own speaking and content to add even more to the show and the messaging!  

 

I want to share all my love with everyone, the ones who follow and support as well as the ones who may not like the content but hopefully have heard the message.  My goal is to simply have a platform to have my bold message heard and to be able to showcase and highlight some of the most wise and knowledgeable people on the planet!  I am here to inspire, motivate and drive EVERYONE to be their very best!!  With God guiding me and carrying me, the sky is the limit!  I love you all and thank you for everything!
