How The Food And Pharma Industry Profit Off Our Ill-Health

This episode is brought to you by AG1, Pendulum, BiOptimizers, and
Super Simple Grassfed Protein.   If we were to identify one
big lever to pull to improve global health, create economic
abundance, restore environmental health, and reverse climate
change, it would be transforming our entire food system. The
policies and industry interests that drive our current system must
change to fix our broken food system from field to fork and beyond.
In today’s episode, I talk with Calley Means, Robby Sansom, Taylor
Collins, and Dhru Purohit about industry funding that influences
the results of food studies, marketing, and government policy.
Calley Means is the cofounder of TrueMed, a company that enables
Americans to buy exercise equipment and healthy food with FSA/HSA
dollars. He is also the coauthor (with his sister, Dr. Casey Means)
of an upcoming book on food as medicine. Earlier in his career, he
was a consultant for food and pharma companies; he is now exposing
the practices they use to weaponize our institutions of trust.
Robby Sansom is cofounder and CEO at Force of Nature, a
regeneratively sourced meat company based in Austin, TX. Force of
Nature works in partnership with land stewards, ranchers, and
farmers committed to creating a positive return on the planet.
Robby is also a land steward at ROAM Ranch, where he owns
regeneratively managed bison. Taylor Collins is the Chief Bison
Wrangler and a cofounder at Force of Nature. In 2017, Taylor and
his family purchased ROAM Ranch, a 900-acre multispecies
regenerative ecosystem. Within five years of management, the ranch
has seen dramatic improvements in soil carbon, water infiltration,
plant diversity, and soil health. Dhru Purohit is a podcast host,
serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness
industry. His podcast, The Dhru Purohit Podcast, is a top 50 global
health podcast with over 30 million unique downloads. His
interviews focus on the inner workings of the brain and the body
and feature the brightest minds in wellness, medicine, and mindset.
