How To Use Food As Medicine

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Paleovalley.
  Globally, the rate of chronic disease is double the rate of
infectious disease. The single most important thing you can do
every day to reduce your risk of chronic disease and change your
biology is choose the right foods. What you put on the end of your
fork matters, as food works with all seven of our body systems for
optimal function, and it contains phytochemicals critical to our
evolution that helps us achieve optimal health. In this episode of
my Masterclass series, I am interviewed by my good friend and
podcast host Dhru Purohit about what foods will help you live
longer and how food affects every single body function, and we even
answer some questions from our community. 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
