"When I went to medical school, there was nothing called type 2 diabetes... Now kids as young as 2 or 3 years old are getting type 2 diabetes." - Dr. Mark Hyman

Dr. Mark Hyman delivers a sobering examination of America's deteriorating food system and its catastrophic impact on public health. From the post-WWII industrialization of agriculture to today's epidemic of chronic diseases, he reveals how our food production methods have led to environmental destruction, depleted soil quality, and devastating health consequences. His stark comparison of health statistics from the 1970s to today's 42% obesity rate illuminates the urgent crisis we face, while his expertise as a physician adds weight to the alarming rise in type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and childhood illnesses.

The conversation takes a deep dive into the staggering statistics of chronic illness in America, where 6 out of 10 adults currently suffer from at least one chronic disease. Dr. Hyman connects the dots between our industrialized food system, environmental toxins, and the exponential rise in conditions like autoimmune diseases, mental illness, and cancer in young people. Through compelling examples and clear explanations, he demonstrates how our massive spending on healthcare and pharmaceuticals isn't addressing the root causes of these diseases, challenging listeners to reconsider their relationship with food and its impact on their health.
