Anthony Canelo, founder of 5:1 Formulas, joins Warren Shaw on Dope Interviews for a wide-ranging conversation about herbal wellness, holistic health, entrepreneurship, research, and the philosophy behind building a simpler approach to health.
Anthony takes us back to the health challenges that pushed him toward holistic wellness, including his experience with nerve damage, misdiagnosis, fasting, and eventually discovering herbalism. He explains how that journey led him to study health, run a wellness center, become an author, and ultimately build Five to One Formulas.
The conversation also gets into Anthony’s philosophy of simplicity in wellness — why he believes people can get lost in conflicting health information, the importance of going back to fundamental principles, and why he developed his “seven fundamentals” framework around breathing, sleeping, hydration, attitude, nutrition, fitness, and connection to nature.
Anthony also breaks down the thinking behind 5:1’s herbal formulas, his focus on ingredient transparency and lab testing, and his goal of introducing people to botanicals in a simple way.
Later, Anthony opens up about losing his father, who helped him start Five to One, and why that loss has given him an even deeper reason to keep building the company.
And there’s more: Anthony previews his upcoming book Overhand: The Masters of Throw, explains his fascination with the overhand throwing motion, and closes the interview with Warren’s rapid-fire Dope or Nope game.
