The way we grow food now is destroying our ability to grow it in the future. And the way we’re growing it now is making us sicker and more broke than ever before. Food is our #1 killer, even more so than smoking and guns.Our government supports the over-production of the top crops for processed foods—corn, soy, and wheat—and Big Food reaps the benefits by turning them into sugary, starchy, highly addictive foods that cause chronic diseases. Diseases that are killing us and could be prevented.
This all comes down to our food system. The way food is grown, transported, processed, consumed, and wasted in our country is contributing to these problems and so much more—especially some of our most urgent ones like climate change. That’s why I wrote my new book Food Fix: How to Save Our Health, Our Economy, Our Communities, and Our Planet—One Bite at a Time. And today on The Doctor’s Farmacy I’m excited to trade places and be the interviewee with my good friend, business partner, and host of The Broken Brain Podcast, Dhru Purohit. When I got very sick decades ago, I took on the mission to use Functional Medicine to help myself and my patients get over needless suffering. There are so many things we can do to prevent unnecessary health struggles and related deaths, and food is one of the most powerful.
Brilliant work! Keep it up! Would you like to be YouTube friends? 🙂
I went to work on a place in Chicago Southside in 1992. Didn’t knew much about food back then. It was exactly like the place mentioned by Dr. Hyman in this video in a poor neighborhood. Poverty and malnutrition go side by side.
He’s right about having the right knowledge. I did eat a ‘healthy’ whole grain diet – homemade sourdough, fermented veg, kefir and walked the dog for 90 minutes a day for years and was overweight but by going low carb or keto and throwing out any processed food with its hidden sugar, soy cocktail of additives etc I lost 10kg and feel so much better.
I’m afraid carbs are extremely addictive and control our appetite in bad ways – you can’t blame people completely as weak willed etc. they’re most likely carb addicts. We all have personal responsibility and when I found out about keto I applied my will to a different set of foods but this time had success – carb addiction stopped controlling me after only a couple of days and it felt like I was now in control. I could say no to food and intermittent fasting became natural – the weight loss encouraged more exercise – weights for eg. I’m trying to bring down the big food companies single handedly – I only buy veg (organic if funds allow) and best meat I can afford which leaves about 99% of the products in supermarkets looking like toxic junk! Aisle upon aisles of food that isn’t food!
Climate change IS man made but Dr Hyman you need to research Agenda 21/2030 and geo engineering, weather modification. The forest fires of which you speak are deliberate and all part of the depopulation agenda. Just look up at the sky every day and see the CHEMtrails criss crossing the sky which then spread wide and quickly form clouds. There are thousands of very clever well educated and aware people out there reporting on this daily (and lots of Facebook groups too) and who get shut down for speaking the truth, as do most truth tellers. So called ‘Al Gore ‘evidence’ is fake. I shall await the backlash on here, but urge people to question and research geo-engineering for themselves. It’s all about control and carbon tax and smart everything, which is not smart at all but designed to slowly kill people, in the very same way the ‘food’ system is.
The document contained below is very damning and revealing, I located it in the NASA archives in late October of 2012. It should be a stark wake up call for any that still deny the existence of massive covert weather modification programs which are coordinated by various governments around the world.This file report outlines in great detail the existence of expanding US weather modification programs as far back as 1956, a full decade earlier than the date of the document in question. A “special commission” is outlined in this document to coordinate the multiple governmental agencies involved with US weather modification programs as well as independent contractors and universities which the report also mentions. It covers the “management” of international impacts, legal and social ramifications, species disruptions, biological consequences, etc.
A rapidly increasing mountain of data makes ever more clear that almost none of us alive today have known completely natural weather. That massive covert government programs have been playing “God” with the biosphere for well over 60 years, perhaps even longer. In recent years the scope and scale of these devastating weather modification programs has been ramped up so much that the entire climate system and biosphere is now hanging in the balance.
The lethal nature of the ongoing “geoengineering” programs can not be overstated. Life on our planet is in freefall for many reasons, but mathematically speaking climate engineering is the greatest assault of all against life on Earth. Documents like the one linked below need to be shown to those that continue to deny the ongoing climate engineering reality. With each passing day radical fluctuations in weather continue to accelerate as a direct result of the ongoing geoengineering insanity. Geoengineering must be brought into the light of day and to a halt. Those responsible for the climate engineering programs should be seen criminals that have participated in ecocide and genocide. The corporate media and the “meteorologists” that serve them must also be exposed for their part in hiding the aerosol spraying assault from public veiw. Each and every one of us are needed to assist in the most critical effort to reach critical mass of awareness, lets make every day count in this battle.

PS: The United Nations (Peter James Spielmann) on 29.6.1989 said: “Entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels by the year 2020.”
You plagiarize by listening to psychics…I’m not a troll but think about it all these gurus aresking money by making you think they are educating you while they are taking it to the bank since 2013 they have been cashing in…its not the point that they are right but I can guarantee they are stealing their ideas…
This was so inspiring. I can’t think of anything that is more important than this discussion.
Horrendous situation.
Hyman for President! Why is this not the top news stories, top of the political debates….thank you SO MUCH for sharing this knowledge and being an advocate. I’ll be watching for your food fix foundation and how I can be part of it.
Dr Hyman
Love all you are talking about except for the climate change. The Australian fires were as a result of arson.. Also because environmental restrictions put on not burning brush. VP Gore is a crook…Follow the money….please read other information as well.
YES!!about ocean pollution soil and farming techniques that HAVE to change. Don’t know if you have heard of Farmers Footprint and Dr Zack Bush. They are saying the same things you are and working for change in the Farm Bill…Soil is the key and education….helping Farmers. They are barely making it! Why! This is a great movEmmet to change farming techniques. Please check them out!
Thank you for all you do !! I am a follower of yours and have bought all of your books!
I agree but how do we change big agricultural growing policies?? American food is killing us!! Growth hormones, sugar sugar n more sugar, antibiotics fetilizers and preservatives for long shelf life but it’s killing us!! What do we do? I’ll sign any petition to stop the maddness!
Our children are paying the price. Boys are taller, girls are developing at a faster rate and too young and the foods we have to eat are making us chronically sick!! A few reasons we grow our own garden. I’ve also heard that all these pesticides and fertilizers are still in the seeds after manufacturing.
