My New Podcast: The Doctor's Farmacy

Hey Everybody, it's me, Dr. Mark Hyman, and I want to thank you for tuning into my House Call series. And I want to let you know about my new podcast, the Doctors Pharmacy. F A R M A C Y A place for conversations that Matter now, the Doctors Pharmacy I created because there is a need for a place for deeper conversations about the central issues of our time that affect us all. In researching my last book, what the Heck Should I Eat? It became clear to me that we need to unpack the shifts and intersections of medicine to nutrition, food systems, health and food policy, and lots more. The food system is at the root of our chronic disease epidemic, at the root of climate change, poverty, social injustice, environmental degradation, economic crises, and even challenges in education and national security. In fact, I was talking to the former head of the CIA last week and he told me that over half of recruits for the military are rejected because they're unfit to fight. The old foundations of medicine are breaking down and a new model, a systems view where functional medicine is emerging as the paradigm that has the potential to reverse the chronic disease epidemic. Food and the way we produce and consume it is at the nexus of most of our world's health, environmental, climate, economic, and even political crises. We can't stay silent about these issues any longer. And that's why I created my new podcast, the Doctors Pharmacy. If you like housecall, I really think you're going to like the Doctor's Pharmacy. You can find it anywhere you listen to podcasts. And thanks for tuning in.
