Short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video featuring Aaron Hartman, MD and another speaker discussing the concept that food functions as medicine. They argue that daily food choices can actively prevent disease and optimize health, framing dietary adherence as foundational 'hard work' that enables health 'magic.'

Food is medicine. All the foundational stuff that people don't want to do, that's the hard work you do so that we do the cool stuff. It's like magic.
Yeah. Yeah, for sure. And unless you're fasting, you have to eat right. And if that's built in and what you're choosing to eat and deciding to eat is medicinal and informative to your biology, then every day you're taking medicine without realizing it, and there's variations, so it's not boring and there's consistency there. And. And you're now not only avoiding disease or preventing it, but optimizing and maintaining health, which is pretty beautiful.
