“Food is the nexus of most of our world’s health, economic, environmental, climate, social, and even political crises. While this may seem like an exaggeration, it is not. The problem is much worse than we think.” From his new book, Food Fix, my friend Dr. Mark Hyman brings to light many of the issues threatening our health, environment, and planet, but also the practical solutions that are literally beneath our feet, in our stores and kitchens, and at the end of our forks three times every day.

Did you know that poor diet is the leading cause of chronic disease and death worldwide? Eleven million people die every year from a bad diet and more than 2 billion people in the world are overweight and sick from eating our processed, industrialized diet.

Dr. Hyman explains, “If poor diet is the biggest killer on the planet, I was forced to ask, what is the cause of our food and the system that produces it? This led to a deep exploration of the entire food chain, from seed to field to fork to landfill, and the harm caused at each step of the journey. The story of food shocked me, frightened me, and drove me to tell this story and to find the possibility of redemption from the broken system that is slowly destroying the people and things we love most. Our most powerful tool to reverse the global epidemic of chronic disease, heal the environment, reverse climate change, end poverty and social injustice, reform politics, and revive economies is food. The food we grow, how we grow it, and the food we eat have tremendous implications not just for our waistlines but also for our communities, the planet, and the global economy.”

In Food Fix, Dr. Hyman lays out how both the problems and the solutions to our most pressing global crises lie in our food system. In order to move towards solutions, we must fully understand the issues.

Dr. Hyman promises: “After reading Food Fix you will be able to connect the dots of this largely invisible crisis and understand why fixing our food system is central to the health and well-being of our population, our environment, our climate, our economy, and our very survival as a species. You will also understand the forces, businesses, and policies driving the catastrophe, and the people, businesses, and governments that are providing hope and a path to fixing our dysfunctional food system.”

Food is the cause of all of these issues, but it’s also the solution. This is powerful. It means that we all have the opportunity to make radical change three times every day, 365 days a year.

Have you ever wondered what you can do to help combat climate change that will actually make a difference? Or to fight the obesity epidemic? Or to address the rising health care costs, help make a significant economic change, fight food injustice, or change the face of unethical treatment of workers or animals? Believe it or not, by fixing our food system, we can address all of these areas and more.

My good friend Dr. Mark Hyman wrote a new book to detail the exact issues we face that, if left alone, could lead to out of control medical costs for widespread chronic diseases, our climate hitting a critical heat point that we cannot recover from, and our precious soils becoming entirely depleted threatening future harvests in our lifetime. Food Fix lays it out in every crucial detail.

Most importantly, though, Food Fix outlines solutions. Real, actionable, doable steps we can all take to protect our environment, reverse global warming, boost our economy, improve the health of millions, and secure our future. And so many of them are surprisingly simple. Becoming a more mindful shopper, supporting regenerative farmers, and composting food scraps from your own kitchen are really easy but profound steps we can all take to help.

Dr. Hyman researched for years to uncover some unsettling truths about Big Food and Big Ag, and we are long overdue to take a stand and make solid changes. There are things we can all do every day to fight back. Dr. Hyman is creating a food revolution and I’m joining him.

If you are ready to understand the issues and make a real difference, sign up to learn more about Food Fix today, watch Dr. Hyman’s bonus video, 5 Steps to Save the Planet, and get ready to put words into action. The future of our planet literally depends on it.

I think you know by now, I’m a bit of a health advocate. I’ve made it my life’s work to do everything I can to help others live their best and healthiest lives.

And these recent statistics on chronic disease are exactly why. Did you know that 60% of Americans have one chronic disease and 40% have two or more chronic diseases? And that in a mere 10 years, it’s estimated that 83 million Americans will have three or more chronic diseases? (That number was 30 million in 2015).

Did you know that poor diet is the number one cause of death worldwide and 41 million deaths a year are caused by chronic disease (mostly caused by diet), which is 71 percent of all deaths on the planet?

These numbers and outcomes have to change. And just in time, my good friend Dr. Mark Hyman wrote a manifesto that takes you on a journey to describe exactly how we got to this level of chronic diseases, the food system that created this epidemic, and how very far the issues with the food system reach (spoiler alert: the food system is directly linked with chronic disease, food injustice, global warming, environmental distress, deforestation, soil depletion, and the list goes on…).

Food Fix explains exactly how the food system is the cause and solution for all of these issues and more.

“If we were to identify one big lever to pull to improve global health, create economic abundance, reduce social injustice and mental illness, restore environmental health, and reverse climate change, it would be transforming our entire food system. That is the most important work of our time—work that must begin now.” Dr. Hyman’s call to action is one we must answer.

Title: The cause AND the cure

“Don’t you find it odd that people will put more work into choosing their mechanic or house contractor than they will into choosing the person who grows their food?” - Joel Salatin, Omnivore’s Dilemma

It’s true. Many of us put more thought into what car, cellphone, and clothes we’re going to buy than the food that we eat. If everyone in the world paused to think about the food system and think about how their food choices impacted their health and the health of the planet, we could transform the world.

Food is the web that connects so many of our most complex issues. Economic hardship, declining public health, poor educational achievement, climate change, pollution, and social injustice all lead back to food.

But the good news is that if bad food and a broken food system caused these problems, then good food and a sustainable food system is the solution.

My new book, Food Fix, aims to be a definitive guide to fixing our health and the problems caused by the broken system.

There are so many solutions out there to fix this system. Among the most promising is regenerative agriculture.

Many people think they need to become vegan if they want to eat a climate-supportive diet. Yes, we should all avoid feedlot beef for its health, climate, and environmental impacts. But regeneratively raised beef actually improves carbon sequestration through natural grazing practices.

Studies show that end-to-end in the carbon cycle, regeneratively raised cows reduce carbon emissions by 170%. Yep, that even takes the methane from their gas into account. That means they actually counteract the carbon footprint from growing the GMO soy and other processed ingredients that make up an Impossible Burger.

Without animals as part of a holistically managed farm system, you can’t build a robust ecosystem with strong soils.

No soil means no food and that means no humans.

Considering the fact that we’ve lost ⅓ of our topsoil already and have only 60 years before ruining the rest, we should be pretty interested in protecting and rebuilding our soils.

Growing food regeneratively creates much better working conditions for farmers and helps them make more money. It uses less irrigation and doesn’t pollute our land and water with dangerous chemicals. It increases biodiversity—another urgent issue since we’ve already lost half of all our animal species. And it produces cleaner, more nutritious food so that we can achieve our best health.

All sides win.

The UN said if we took 2 of the 5 million degraded hectares of land around the world and spent 300 billion dollars (only 60 days of our of global military spend) to support regenerative agriculture on it, it would stall climate change and give us another 10 to 20 years to work on other solutions. That’s no small feat.

You can see there’s a lot of action to be taken, starting right in our own kitchens, backyards, restaurants, farmers’ markets, and grocery stores. In Food Fix I break down what YOU can do to start solving these profound issues of our time in simple steps.

Join the revolution by pre-ordering, Food Fix here.

Wishing you health and happiness,

Title: How to prevent chronic disease and change our food system

In the US, chronic disease has become the norm.

Think about how many people you know that have or had one of the following: cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, cancer, dementia, or obesity. And there’s so many more.

I’m willing to bet you can count multiple people in your life, if not yourself, who are struggling with one of these illnesses—that’s because 6 out of 10 Americans have a chronic disease (4 out of 10 have two or more) which are responsible for 70% of deaths.

What people don’t realize is that so many cases of these are preventable through eating a better diet and improving our lifestyle choices.

The impacts of the chronic disease epidemic are far-reaching. Over the next 35 years, we’ll end up spending $95 trillion because of them, on direct healthcare costs like drugs and imaging to indirect costs like reduced productivity. This has been called the single biggest threat to global economic development and as long as we don’t do anything about it, these health issues and poor choices are getting passed down to each new generation.

But it isn’t a lack of willpower that’s leading to them; it’s our broken food system.

Changing the way we grow, produce, consume, and waste food can change the state of our public health, its economic burden, and everything from childhood educational achievements to climate change. That’s why I wrote my new book Food Fix.

The number one factor contributing to the rise in chronic diseases is a lack of fresh fruits and vegetables. Yet, only 2 percent of our farmland is used to grow healthful crops like these because the government subsidizes crops like corn, soy, and wheat that are making us sick and take up the majority of our farmland.

How are we supposed to eat healthfully and focus on preventing illness when the foods that are the easiest to access and afford are the ones that are hurting us the most?

I know it seems overwhelming. These are big issues, but they have real solutions. Food is the cause, but it’s also the cure.

We can work together to change the food system literally from the ground up. Some of the simplest steps—like becoming a conscious consumer and reading labels more carefully, supporting regenerative agriculture, starting a community garden, and composting in your own kitchen—are powerful catalysts for changing the future of food. And, there are so many other ways to help, too.

I lay out the most promising solutions for a health-promoting food system throughout Food Fix. These steps support better health in all of us and a healthier planet at the same time. They reduce the economic burden of disease, promote healthier generations, reverse climate change, and create safer and cleaner jobs for farmers.

We have a lot of power in our hands, I hope you’ll join me in using it for a Food Fix revolution. You can pre-order the book right here to get started.

Wishing you health and happiness,
Mark Hyman, MD
