Short excerpt from a YouTube interview (host: Josh Trent) discussing the idea that food can act as medicine and also be "the slowest form of poison." The guest argues food can help prevent or mitigate diseases (mentions dementia and Parkinson's), emphasizes cumulative effects of diet-driven inflammation, and introduces "nutrigenomics"—the study of how nutrition affects gene expression.

Can food be a healer that can circumvent or even completely heal dementia, Parkinson's?
Yes. I mean, food is medicine ultimately we want to use as preventative medicine. It's also, as many people have heard, the slowest form of poison. Yeah, right. The goal is you nourish your body with the right foods and you avoid the toxic stuff as soon as possible. Might be a stomachache, it might be diarrhea, it might be a rash. But the manifestation of inflammation and disease doesn't show up when you have a bad meal. It's the aggrav aggregate of all of that that starts to show up. And then, not to geek out, but, you know, nutrigenomics is the study of how nutrition affects our genetic expression.
