Make American Healthy...Again?

The slogan Make America Healthy Again has picked up some traction recently and I love that people are thinking more about their health. 

There are some good things coming from this movement and also some not so good things and I want to talk about of them. 

So this week I brought my friend and colleague, Dr. Jessica Knurick, to discuss some of our thoughts about this #MAHA movement as nutrition professionals (we both have PhDs) with over a decade each of working in this field.

On this episode we will discuss:

  • How exactly Americans have gotten sicker
  • The real reason why obesity and diabetes rates have skyrocketed 
  • Whether food additives are destroying your health
  • The challenges with improving school lunches
  • Why conspiracy theories can spread faster than truth.
  • Actual efforts that could be useful to improve the health the American population. 
  • And a lot more...

Tune into the show to learn more.
