How Big Food Is Keeping Us And Our Children Sick with Calley Means

This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, InsideTracker,
BiOptimizers, and BON CHARGE. We live in a world that claims to be
based on science, goodwill, and policies intended to help people.
But in reality, these things are often heavily influenced and
manipulated by industry, particularly Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big
Ag, which have corrupted many institutions, politicians,
professional associations, research institutions, and medical
schools. And it has, unfortunately, led to mass confusion and
illness in the public.  Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I sit
down with Calley Means to talk about how Big Food and Big Pharma
are rigging the system and profiting off of our ill health. Calley
is the co-founder of TrueMed, a company that enables Americans to
buy exercise and healthy food with FSA/HSA dollars. He is also the
co-author (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 and is now exposing practices they use to
weaponize our institutions of trust. He is a graduate of Stanford
and Harvard Business School.  This episode is brought to you
