Metabolic Health, Mental Clarity & Mortality: Real Talk with Colin Walke on Food, Emotions, and Living Fully

In this powerful and wide-ranging episode, Ricky sits down with Colin Walke, an educator, coach, and metabolic health enthusiast, for a heartfelt conversation on everything from life & happiness to suicide, self-discovery, and species-appropriate nutrition.

They dive into:

• The life-changing impact of diet on mental health, depression, and autoimmune conditions.
• How modern society’s relationship with food disconnects us from our biology.
• The emotional roots of food addiction and why processed food keeps us stuck.
• Evolutionary insights into metabolic health, genetics, and chronic disease.
• Midlife reflections on mortality, family, and the call to reclaim your health.
• Why carnivore and ketogenic diets may be the key to both mental and physical resilience.

This episode isn’t just about food - it’s about life, purpose, mortality, and choosing to live fully before it’s too late.
