How did our grandparents’ generation have so much less chronic illness than we do now? Why has been on the rise over the last century, sharpened in the last couple of decades?

In this episode, I will discuss the societal, environmental, and internal circumstances that can contribute to our ill health, and ways we can minimize their impact.

Listen for more about:

• Instant gratification and what that has done to our food supply
• High glycemic and ultra-processed foods and why they’re so much more prevalent now
• The “low fat” disaster
• Carcinogens, obesigens, toxins, and how to help our bodies detoxify more efficiently
• 
  
• Surprise - chronic stress is bad!
