How To Use Food As Medicine

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Paleovalley. Globally, the rate of chronic disease is double the rate of infectious disease. The single most important thing you can do every day to reduce your risk of chronic disease and change your biology is choose the right foods. What you put on the end of your fork matters, as food works with all seven of our body systems for optimal function, and it contains phytochemicals critical to our evolution that helps us achieve optimal health.

In this episode of my Masterclass series, I am interviewed by my good friend and podcast host Dhru Purohit about what foods will help you live longer and how food affects every single body function, and we even answer some questions from our community.
