Intro

Calley Means has been behind the curtains of the Big Food profit machines and now he’s speaking out against the incentives perpetuating ill health in our country. With nearly 93% of Americans suffering from metabolic dysfunction, Calley has been sharing his insights on how Big Food and Big Pharma have contributed to the meteoric rise of chronic disease in America. Calley is the founder of True Medicine and he’s currently writing a book on the current health crisis we are facing. In our conversation with Calley, we discussed: 

* Following the money

* Dissecting Big Foods & Pharma’s profit model

* The current state of affairs of the health crisis

* Bankrupting our country through poor health

* Healthcare to be 40% of GDP in 15 years

* Creating addiction through sugar in food

The Carnivore Bar: The Carnivore Bar is a delicious, 3-ingredient bar that will fuel you with the highest quality animal protein possible. Each bar only has 3 ingredients (Beef, Tallow, Salt) and has a creamy yet crunchy texture. The Carnivore Bars are grass-fed / grass-finished and will truly make "staying on the path" easier when traveling.

Holy Cow Beef: Labeling laws have made it challenging to know exactly how your beef was raised. “Grass-fed” does not mean what it used to and since the laws permit for grain-fed beef to still be considered grass-fed, you really need to look for the AGA (American Grassfed Association) label to ensure you’re getting the highest quality beef. Holy Cow Beef, owned by Ann and Weldon Warren, embodies the highest standards of animal husbandry and truly believes in the importance of creating the highest quality product for the end consumer. Check out their website for meat boxes and delivery options!

CrowdHealth: CrowdHealth is rewriting the incentives when it comes to healthcare. The business establishes its customer base through monthly contributions, which pay out the healthcare needs of others in the group. Unlike health insurance, CrowdHealth’s business is predicated on crowdfunding, meaning your fellow group members contribute to your healthcare bills as they come due. The monthly fee is less than an insurance plan, and the costs of the healthcare cases are lower since CrowdHealth facilitates paying these healthcare costs in cash instead of insurance (which doctors and hospitals prefer). Your contributions pay for the group’s health care costs as they come up, and it’s up to your discretion on whether you pay out to fund other’s costs.
