The Unhealthy Truth | Robyn O’Brien on how food is making us sick – and what we can do about it

Every single day, it seems that we are inundated with programs,
products, books and ideas about how to prevent disease, lose
weight, and improve our appearance. And we respond to it. So much
so, that an estimated $100 billion is spent worldwide searching
for that magic formula that will yield amazing fitness and
alluring physical beauty. But, in the United States alone, a
staggering two-thirds of the population are still overweight,
with 25 million suffering from diabetes and half of the
population on some type of prescription drug for health problems.


Why is that? Because the solution to these challenges does not
lie with any trend or fad diet, nor any pharmacological or
technological fix. There are no shortcuts here. Rather, the
solution to these issues is not about following a new diet fad or
experimenting with a trending workout regime. There are no
shortcuts or hacks. The real answer lies in adopting a lifestyle
of health, and taking a more conscious and proactive approach to
taking care of your body. And a big part of that is becoming more
aware of what you are putting in your body.


 


On this episode of the Tony Robbins Podcast, we are speaking to
the acclaimed food expert that the New York Times and Bloomberg
have dubbed “food’s Erin Brockovich” – Robyn O’Brien.


 


You may have seen Robyn’s TEDx talk on the evolution of food
allergies – questioning whether we are allergic to food or what’s
been done to it. Or read her best-selling book, “The Unhealthy
Truth,” that reveals the alarming relationship between the
manipulation of our food and both the increase in dangerous
allergies in our children as well as the increase in disease
across the country.


And in this interview, you will hear Robyn discuss what it takes
to make the commitment to health, what it means to truly eat
clean, and what the transformative impact of diet means for not
only our physical well-being, but our mental and emotional states
as well. You will also hear Robyn dive into GMO safety,
antibiotics in meat, organic diets, and, of course, what causes
food allergies – all issues that Robyn has dedicated herself
towards bringing awareness to over the past decade, working with
consumers, corporations and politicians to expose the truth and
set real change into action. So we can all have a real roadmap to
healthier living.
