Dr. Shawn Baker: What's Actually Making Us Fat and Sick (And Why It's So Profitable)
Coin Stories with Natalie Brunell
Healthcare incentives favor disease management
Shawn argues hospitals and pharma profit from procedures and lifelong drugs rather than cures or lifestyle interventions.
In a special episode of Coin Stories shot in Naples, FL, Natalie Brunell sits down with health and wellness thought leader Dr. Sean Baker to discuss:
- How food became engineered to keep us craving and overeating
- The additives and preservatives hiding in plain sight, and why some are restricted overseas in places like Europe
- The new "reverse food pyramid" push and what it's really saying about nutrition guidance
- Why the incentives in food and medicine often reward treating symptoms, not fixing root causes
- What "eat real food" actually means in real life (and what most people get wrong)
- The Bitcoin connection: how better incentives and long-term thinking could change everything
- The concerns surrounding trendy drugs like Ozempic and other GLP-1s
