How Deep Does the Corruption Go? | FDA Director Dr. Marty Makary Tells All
Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark
Defining Ultra-Processed Foods and SNAP Waivers
He describes efforts to define ultra-processed foods, SNAP waivers to limit taxpayer funding for junk, and convening industry partners.
This week, Dr. Marty Makary — the newly confirmed FDA Commissioner, surgeon, researcher, and bestselling author — joins us to pull back the curtain on what he discovered inside the agency and why it made him furious. We get into the internal pressure, the conflicts of interest, how dissent was punished, and what he, Trump, and RFK are doing to overhaul food, drug, and vaccine regulation. He also dives into Tylenol in pregnancy, hormone therapy myths, over-vaccination, and what real accountability should look like.
