Chronic disease, economic disparity, social injustice, and climate change. These are significant problems — but wouldn’t it be great if there was ONE solution to them all? According to Dr. Mark Hyman, there is. 

The solution is food.

Today on The Marie Forleo Podcast you’ll hear about Mark’s new book, Food Fix, and the science-based ways we can save our health, society, and — most importantly — the planet. You’re probably familiar with Dr. Mark Hyman. He’s the man behind the pegan diet and 12 (yes, 12!) New York Times bestselling books about nutrition, functional medicine, and integrative health, including the renowned 10 Day Detox Diet.

Mark says that Food Fix is the most important book he’s ever written. 

And for good reason. Sixty percent of Americans are living with chronic disease — a skyrocketing trend Mark noticed during his 30 years as a practicing family physician. We're talking 11 million preventable deaths per year.

When Dr. Hyman dug into why this was happening, he realized this influx of chronic disease stemmed from the food we eat. Here’s where it gets interesting. Mark says people aren’t choosing unhealthy foods because they’re lazy or incompetent. It goes much deeper than that.

The food we eat is a direct result of a broken food system and corrupt political food policies.

These policies have caused a chain reaction — affecting the economy, and the health of our planet. Mark says we have an important decision to make. We can reverse all of these problems, but we have to change the way we think about, eat, and grow our food. If you’re ready to feel healthier and save the planet, listen to this episode ASAP.

You’ll learn:

  • 1:52 — The shocking link between chronic disease, and corrupt food policies.
  • 14:40 — Why most of our health, mental, and societal problems stem from what we eat.
  • 17:20 — How massively popular food brands are using predatory marketing practices on children… and what you can do about it.
  • 22:15 — How the *entire country* of Chile dramatically reduced soda consumption.
  • 27:30 — The 60-day solution that could stop climate change for 20 years.
  • 28:45 — Why meat-alternatives like the Impossible Burger are not enough to fix our food system.
  • 30:15 — How to eat better no matter your grocery budget.
  • 35:00 — An inspiring story about a woman who used food to reverse a life-threatening chronic disease.

Please note as you listen, we know that access to healthy food is a barrier for many. Nutrient-rich food isn’t always easy to get. That’s why I’m so passionate about this call to action from Mark — so we can collectively create a food system that addresses global poverty and helps everyone thrive.
