In this episode, I'm taking a hard long look at the way chronic diseases are treated in our healthcare system.

My research started with the following documentaries on Netflix:

  • You Are What You Eat
  • What The Health
  • The Game Changers
  • Poisoned 

These lead me to the following books:

And, lastly, Fighting Pharma: A Conversation between Joe Polish and Calley Means. This last source is a must-watch. Calley Means reveals the alarming efforts of for-profit companies like Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic and Wegovy, in healthcare policies.

My research brought a troubling reality into focus – the evidence-based medicine practiced by most physicians in our healthcare system, is rife with conflicts of interest and corporate influence.

Just follow the money: From foundational nutrition research used to set nutrition guidance (eg., the food pyramid) to trusted nonprofits (eg., American Diabetes Association) to the standard of care protocols used by physicians, the  pharmaceutical companies and big food corporations are everywhere.
