โ€œFood is medicine. It works faster, better, and cheaper than almost any drug.โ€

Heal Your Body With Food

I know how hard it is to eat a healthy diet.

It requires time and energy that you often feel like you donโ€™t have. But what if I told you the time and energy you think you donโ€™t have is because of the food youโ€™re currently putting into your body?

It’s easy to be skeptical about this idea. But thatโ€™s what the food industry wants us to think. It wants us to continue eating its food, not giving a second thought to the sugars and fat weโ€™re putting into our system.

To break free from this mindset, it’s really helpful to talk to the experts. And today, I have one of the most knowledgeable people in the field: Dr. Mark Hyman.

Dr. Mark Hyman, M.D. is the founder and medical director of the UltraWellness Center, Director of the Cleveland Clinical Center for Functional Medicine, and the Chairman of the Board of the Institute for Functional Medicine.

He is a New York Times bestselling author with books like 10-Day Detox Diet and Eat Fat, Get Thin. His latest book Food: What The Heck Should I Eat? provides an explanation of the nutritional science around food and why the political, environmental, economic and social issues corrupt our understanding of food.

Dr. Hyman is one of my favorite people to learn about health from because he is so honest about what’s going on. Instead of trying to push his own agenda, he’s got humanity’s best interest at heart.
