Dr. Alan Goldhamer is the cofounder of True North Health Center, the world's largest facility specializing in medically supervised wateronly fasting. Founded in 1984 and located in Santa Rosa, California, Truth North has seen well over 20,000 people complete upwards of 40days of consuming only water.

The True North health experience is a fully supported adventure that includes modalities like meditation, yoga, psychotherapy, workshops, and education. True North is an alcoholfree, stimulantfree environment designed to allow guests to fast, detoxify, lose weight and make the lifestyle changes they desire in a healthpromoting, therapeutic environment.

Dr. Goldhamer is coauthor of a gamechanging book that I read many years ago entitled The Pleasure Trap; Mastering the Hidden Force that Undermines Health & Happiness.

As you can imagine, anything with the word "mastering" in its title has our attention because, for YogiTriathlete, mastery is the only option. This episode is informationrich, we hope you enjoy it and take something away to uplevel your health today.
