How Climate Change Is Making Us Sick And What We Can Do About It with Amanda Ravenhill

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, InsideTracker, and
Mitopure. I recently took a life changing trip to Antarctica to see
what is really happening to our environment as the result of
climate change. Before you roll your eyes or gloss over this
episode, I want you to understand this: Climate change is not just
floods, droughts, a hotter planet, and deadly weather events, which
are all scary enough to think about. It affects our whole body
health—impacting chronic disease, infectious diseases, our food
supply, our mental health, and so much more.  On my way to
Antarctica, I had an important conversation with my friend Amanda
Ravenhill about one of the most critical aspects of climate change
and human health—our food system. We also dive into why apathy
around climate change is so dangerous.  Amanda is an active
member of the international community focused on addressing
imminent global challenges. She is the Co-Founder and Founding
Executive Director of Project Drawdown, the most comprehensive plan
ever proposed to reverse global warming.  This episode is
