6: How To Actually Make America Healthy Again | Are Food Dyes And Additives Really The Problem? Nov 19, 2024

Why does the U.S. have the world’s largest economy but rank last in health outcomes compared to other wealthy nations? In this episode, we tackle the tough questions about America’s health crisis, including why we have the lowest life expectancy, the highest rate of avoidable deaths, and skyrocketing rates of chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

We explore barriers to accessing quality healthcare, and discuss how societal norms, influencers, and even government policies contribute to the problem. From debates over food dyes to processed food culture, we dive into the bigger picture of what it takes to truly move the needle toward better health—like achieving a healthy weight, prioritizing whole foods, managing stress, and getting quality sleep.

Join us as we explore the balance between personal responsibility and systemic change, challenge misconceptions about fitness and nutrition, and lay out actionable steps for individuals and policymakers to make America healthy again.
