As my friend Ocean Robbins says, “When you eat the Standard American Diet you get the standard American diseases.” In fact, poor diet is responsible for almost 700,000 death in the US each year, and 11 million worldwide! And the average American consumes 55 pounds of added sugar in year, which we know is a major contributor towards the diabesity epidemic. The good news is that each step towards real, wholesome, delicious foods reduces your risk for chronic disease and increases your ability to feel great.
This week on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I sit down with Ocean to talk about the current state of our food system and what we can do to be part of the revolution to create a healthier and happier future for everyone. Ocean is the author of 31-Day Food Revolution: Heal Your Body, Feel Great, & Transform Your World. He serves as CEO and co-founder of the Food Revolution Network—one of the largest communities of healthy eating advocates on the planet, with more than 500,000 members.

Thank you Dr. Hyman!
Very interesting but frightening.
From the perspective of “Food is Medicine” and my own opinion, this has been the most articulate, comprehensive and substantive discussion on The Doctor’s Farmacy with Mark Hyman, M.D. so far. How great would it be to see Dr. Ocean Robbins and Dr. Larry Summers problem-solving U.S. Food Policy? Thank you for another great interview Dr. Hyman!
Awesome interview!
Ocean is an ftm tranny.

This was awesome! Can’t wait to read the book. I just began the FMCA program last week and this topic is exactly what I love to learn about. You both give me so much inspiration and are true heroes. I am grateful to be a part of this health and wellness movement through nutrition, functional medicine and lifestyle medicine. Thank you!!!
Hey I would definately vot for you for President
I just bought your new book,but it doesnt come with free Kale.Cant wait to read it
change is happening, “Vegan” double stuff oreos. Not a joke.
All the Blue Zones are coastal areas. They eat a ton of fish there. Duh…also, even according to the biased and corrupt research Sardinians and Nicoyans consume a quarter of their diet as dairy, which IS an animal product that Hyman would call “poison”. Moreover, not only do they consume lots of fish but also a ton of pork, especially the Costa Ricans and Okinawans. The Sardinians eat a ton of lamb, goat, beef, pork, fish…The only dietary outlier here are the 7th Day Adventists who CHOOSE to move to Loma Linda ALREADY in their OLD age, where they have an entire hospital focused in cardiology to help support their failing hearts. These people are self-selected from a population of American 7th Day Adventists that hasn’t been shown to do any better than the rest of the American population as far as longevity, with everything else being equal.

Is Ocean Robbins the future of the male species?
If everyone went vegan the human race will be wiped out in a few generations!
It is pretty clear he can’t absorb VitD(hint,you need cholesterol)would love to know his levels.
The body can’t effectively convert plant forms of beta carotene into retinol(true VitA)
It also can’t convert ALA from flax seeds into DHA
Dr Hyman knows this and for some reason bites his tongue!!!
Awesome!!!
