Why We Have The Worst Health Outcomes Of All Industrialized Nations with Dr. Charles Modlin, Dr. Leonor Osorio, and Tawny Jones

This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox, Beekeeper’s Naturals, and Super Simple Grassfed Protein.  There are a number of insults that attack our guts on a regular basis. Some of them, like our diet, we have control over, but others, like environmental toxins, will find us whether we want them to or not (although there are ways to limit our exposure). This has led to an onslaught of a condition known as “leaky gut,” which likely affects all of us to some degree. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk about leaky gut—what it is, what causes it, and how to treat it.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Mitopure, Apollo, and Cozy Earth. We live in a country that claims to be based on science, goodwill, and policies intended to help people. But in reality, these things are often heavily influenced and manipulated by industry, particularly Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Ag, which have corrupted many institutions, politicians, professional associations, and research entities. And it has, unfortunately, led to mass confusion and illness in the public.  Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m excited to talk to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., candidate for President in 2024, and my longtime friend about the chronic disease epidemic and his vision for how we can change our food system, economy, environment, and public health outcomes. On April 19, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced his candidacy for president of the United States. He has carried on his family’s legacy of public service by devoting himself to environmental causes and children’s welfare. He is the founder of the Waterkeeper Alliance—the world’s largest clean water advocacy group—and served as its longtime chairman and attorney. He then went on to found Children’s Health Defense, where he served as chairman and chief litigation counsel in its campaign to address childhood chronic disease and toxic exposures. As President, Kennedy will end the forever wars, clean up the government, restore the middle class, heal the divide, and tell Americans the truth.  This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Mitopure, Apollo, and Cozy Earth.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Levels, and ARMRA Colostrum.  In an ideal world where soils are rich and the air and water are pure, we would be able to get all of the vitamins and nutrients we need through diet alone. However, for most, that’s just not practical in our toxic world. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Michael Murray, Fred Provenza, Dan Kittredge, and Jeff Tkach about the symbiotic relationship between plants and soil and why supplements may be necessary to make up for the lack of nutrients in the foods we eat. Dr. Michael Murray is a doctor of naturopathy, a field of alternative medicine that seeks to harness the power of nature to prevent illness and achieve the highest level of health possible. He is the Chief Science Advisor for iHerb and the author of more than 30 books, including The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine Third Edition and The Longevity Matrix. Fred Provenza is a professor emeritus of behavioral ecology in the Department of Wildland Resources at Utah State University. He is the author of three books, including Nourishment: What Animals Can Teach Us about Rediscovering Our Nutritional Wisdom; Foraging Behavior: Managing to Survive in a World of Change; and The Art & Science of Shepherding: Tapping the Wisdom of French Herders (co-written with Michel Meuret). Dan Kittredge has been an organic farmer for more than 30 years and is the founder and executive director of the Bionutrient Food Association, a nonprofit whose mission is to “increase quality in the food supply.” Out of these efforts the Real Food Campaign was born, which has engineered a prototype of a handheld consumer spectrometer designed to test nutrient density at point of purchase. Jeff Tkach serves as the Chief Impact Officer for the Rodale Institute. Jeff is responsible for expanding Rodale Institute’s global influence in healing people and the planet by unlocking the transformational power of regenerative organic agriculture. Jeff served on the Rodale Institute’s board of Directors in 2016, where he was instrumental in fostering relationships between the organization and business leaders in the organic food industry.

It’s not our genes alone that dictate our health outcomes, rather it’s the biology of belief that determines our destiny.  Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m excited to talk to Dr. Bruce Lipton about how exactly our thoughts determine our genetic expression, and how we can influence our health using our minds. Dr. Bruce Lipton is a stem cell biologist and author of the bestselling books, The Biology of Belief, Spontaneous Evolution, and The Honeymoon Effect.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, ButcherBox, and HigherDOSE.  Not only is protein a vital component of healthy skeletal muscle, but it also is an essential lever in weight loss, stabilizing blood sugar, and reversing metabolic syndrome. And when it comes to animal-based protein, we can’t just say all meat is good or no meat is good; it’s a matter of what types and sources of proteins you’re eating and what the rest of your diet looks like too.  In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, Dr. Stephan van Vliet, and Dr. Don Layman about how much protein we should eat, the effects of animal protein on the environment, the best protein sources, and more. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is an integrative physician who completed her fellowship in nutritional sciences and geriatrics at Washington University, St. Louis. She is board certified in family medicine and completed her undergraduate work in human nutrition vitamin and mineral metabolism.

Dr. Stephan van Vliet is a nutrition scientist with metabolomics expertise at the Center for Human Nutrition Studies at Utah State University. He routinely collaborates with farmers, ecologists, and agricultural scientists to study critical linkages between agricultural production methods, the nutrient density of food, and human health. His work has been published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Scientific Reports, The Journal of Nutrition, and The Journal of Physiology. Dr. Layman is a professor emeritus in the Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Layman earned his BS and MS degrees in chemistry at Illinois State University and his doctorate in human nutrition and biochemistry at the University of Minnesota. He is recognized for his research on protein and amino acids for muscle health related to athletic performance, obesity, diabetes, and cardiometabolic health.
