Mark Hyman: The “global pandemic” no one is talking about | Ep 84
70% of Americans are either overweight and obese (40% are obese).
Nearly 1 in 3 Americans is suffering with diabetes or prediabetes.
And 1 in every 4 deaths in this country are caused by heart disease.
According to my guest on today’s episode of The Dr. Gundry Podcast, all of these problems can be traced back to a single source: Food!
Dr. Mark Hyman is the head of strategy and innovation for the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, host of The Doctor’s Farmacy podcast, and the author of a brand-new book, Food Fix: How to Save Our Health, Our Economy, Our Communities, and Our Planet — One Bite at a Time.
We talk about how and why our health problems are so connected to the food we eat, the greedy players at the root of the problems, and the best ways to take back control of our food and health.
So join us — you’ll be blown away by what Dr. Hyman has discovered.
