Fruit-Tea

From being turned down for a date by Paul Saladino because I didn’t eat meat, to now navigating relationships where food philosophies can look completely different, I have a lot of thoughts on this topic. In this episode, Freelee and I sit down and talk about what it’s like dating someone who eats the same way you do versus someone whose diet looks completely different. We talk about compatibility, open-mindedness, shared values, and whether two people really need to eat the same way for a relationship to work. I share some of my own experiences, including why I don’t think someone has to eat exactly like me in order for us to be compatible, but also where nutrition, lifestyle, and values can become important in a relationship. Can two people with completely different diets still make it work?

It’s been a while since Freelee and I sat down for a chat, so we’re catching up on all things fruit, fitness, and frugivore living!In this episode, we’re sharing what we actually eat in a day, how we structure our days around a fruit-based lifestyle, how our routines have evolved over the years, and why we both continue to thrive eating an abundance of fruit.We talk about what our meals look like, how we fuel our active lifestyles, our approach to fitness and strength, and some of the misconceptions that still surround eating a high-fruit diet.If you’ve ever wondered what eating and living a fruit based life actually looks like day to day, this conversation is for you. Let us know in the comments what surprised you most — and what fruit you could happily eat every single day! And let us know what other topics you'd like us to talk about!

In this episode, I sit down with Brett Harrelson, longtime raw vegan, fruit lover, and brother of actor Woody Harrelson, to talk about how eating living foods has shaped his life, health, and longevity.Brett discovered the raw vegan lifestyle at 28 years old and has been living a high-fruit, high-raw diet ever since. Now 62, he’s thriving, strong, active, and full of energy, a walking example of what’s possible when we nourish the body with living, light-filled foods.We talk about his transition into a fruit-based diet, how it’s impacted his mental clarity, fitness, and aging, and what keeps him inspired after three decades of raw living.This episode is an inspiring reminder that food is not just fuel, it’s information, it’s light, and it has the power to support ageless vitality.

In this episode of The Frui-Tea Podcast, I sit down with Zaid K. Dahhaj, a circadian biology educator and heliotherapist dedicated to restoring humanity’s relationship with natural light. Zaid teaches the forgotten science of how sunlight, movement, and environment shape hormonal rhythms, mitochondrial function, and systemic health. Through his publication on Substack, The Circadian Classroom, he blends evolutionary wisdom with modern biophysics to help people realign their biology with the sun and reclaim their vitality in a world built against it.Zaid’s work deeply resonates with me, as he teaches much of what I also share through The Sunshine Diet. We hold many of the same beliefs and practices around the sun, yet he’s been studying and researching these topics far longer than I have, so it was such a gift to speak with someone more seasoned and well-read in this field. I hope you enjoy this illuminating conversation as much as I did.To follow more of Zaid’s work, see below:Website: https://www.zaidkdahhaj.comSubstack: https://zaidkdahhaj.substack.comX: https://x.com/zaidkdahhaj?s=21&t=lMyKdyY1i1JiMEgQImSA-wInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/zaidkdahhajThe 2AM Podcast: https://beacons.ai/the2ampodcast

After a long break, I’m back with a cozy catch-up episode. I share the highlights of my summer, the practices that boosted my sun tolerance (yes, months without sunscreen on my body!), and how that connects to the philosophy behind my Sunshine Diet course. I also open up about my goals for fall and winter, how I’m planning to carry the light into the colder months, and what you can keep in mind to support your own sun exposure as the seasons shift.You can get my Sunshine Diet course here!https://taylor-deboer-s-school.teachable.com/l/pdp/the-sunshine-diet-a-love-affair-with-light-from-fruit-to-skin-to-soul
