"This Is Decreasing Our Lifespan!" - Dark Side of Food Industry Nobody Talks About | Casey Means

I'm 75 years old and I just had the first blood test of my life. My last physical was an Army physical in 1969. A week later I get a call from the RECEPTIONIST saying my cholesterol and HDL levels are slightly high (click). I had to go back in person to get a PAPER COPY of the results. NO insulin resistance, NO A1c, nothing but bare bones basics. I told the doctor I fast and she said "Why would you do that?". I have never had a prescription in my adult life and only one sick day from work. I still wear the same 29" waist jeans I wore when I graduated High School in 1967. I think I might wait another 55 years for my next physical.

You NEED to be your own advocate. No one is coming to save you

Dear Casey and Mark: I am a retired ER physician of > 30 years but still in a less intense medical position. I have never heard a more strait to the truth, refreshing, wonderful conversation . Corporate America has sabotaged our profession and everyone health and I pray for the day that more of us get it. . I have been listening to your and Dr. Lustig's podcasts, changed my diet, stopped sugar 1 month ago and after a lifetime of poor nutrition and poor sleep (worked night shift) I did not know that I could feel or look this great! Thank you for all that you do and I am telling everyone. Tom Kowalak, MD

As a medical student, currently in 5th year, this conversation brings tears of hope and joy to my soul! 🙏🏽I have understood this profound issue for a long time, and I wish to see more people (especially doctors) waking up to the reality, so that maybe one day we can change this system❤ blessing to you all🙌🏽

I know I’m in the Matrix. As a registered nurse in a hospital I see the insanity. Example, Diabetic patients served pancakes with syrup, cup of fruit and an Ensure for breakfast. I just give the Insulin! Then, hooray, it’s nurses week and to show appreciation, here comes the goody cart loaded with packaged snacks and sodas for the nurses! I…am in…the Matrix and it sucks because I know better…😢

Dr. Means is telling us the truth about achieving good health. Unfortunately, we have to educate ourselves and ignore the "experts". Good food is good medicine.

As a registered dietitian it made me smile how much Dr. Means praised the dietitians that due functional nutrition well reverse disease! We are underutilized in hospitals and clinics. I go to rounds and am often overlooked. I use many functional nutrition concepts with my patients in helping disease reversal. I have had great success is reversing prediabetes and diabetes patients. FOOD IS MEDICINE. Where are the rest of the dietitians!! Come on gang!!

The New Hippocratic Oath is: "A Patient Cured Is A Customer Lost"!

Not only are we eating poison, we are breathing it too. And I am not talking about industrial pollution, or vehicle exhaust, and lawn chemicals all of which are unhealthy and can't be avoided, but the additive perfume chemicals added to laundry soaps, fabric softeners, personal hygiene products, cleaning chemicals, air fresheners and voc's that emit home furnishings like carpets etc. I wish someone would start educating the public about this. Our homes are the only places where we have control over the air quality.

I’m so happy she mentioned school lunches. It is appalling what the government is feeling children. They offer fruits and vegetables but 90% of those are tossed in the trash because the innocent children are already addicted to their highly processed microwaved foods. Parents please insist that these processed, sugary, microwaved foods be taken out of school lunches. There’s strength in numbers.

The Buddha prophecied that people's greed will reduce humanity's life span. Now I know what that greed looks like and why we are getting sicker.

Would you please do a segment on Apeel and how those of us who are trying to go 100% organic can maintain our health now that all food (even organic) is covered in it. 99% of ingredients are not disclosed. Big red flag that it’s poison of some kind. What can we do? And NO, not all of us are in an area where we can buy direct from farms. That’s impossible for many of us and seems like cheap advice. Where do we get healthy produce during the winter months? I’ve been slowly eliminating UPF because I was horribly sick for years. And doctors just gaslighted me, so I took it upon myself to heal. I’m having solid success, but Apeel throws a wrench into my plans/process. On another note, I’d love to see a functional medicine doctor, but you all seem to be available only to the wealthy. If you REALLY care, you might address this in a future video as well. There has to be a solution for the rest of us.

She is one of the smartest guests you've interviewed. She hits the nail on the head with the "infantalizing" of patients. And sadly, they comply and allow themselves to be treated like children. Glad she is outspoken and doesn't dance around the truth!

The best way to stay healthy is est real food, exercise, and stay away from doctors.

So, I'll make a long story short. I was diagnosed in 2018 with an aggressive rare breast cancer. Doctors tried to scare the hell out of me that I get chemo, radiation and a double mastectomy. Instead I stopped all alcohol, changed my diet radically, fasted, etc. But I believe the powerhouse for me was cannabis. I made suppositories from cannabis oil (Indica strain). Because of the nature of the cancer, I took 3 grams daily for 3 months -- NEVER GOT HIGH. I continue taking a tiny little oral dose at night before bed but will continue with only healthy foods and fasting for the rest of my life. My oncologist told me if I want to remain healthy, stay away from doctors --he didn't even laugh! Thankfully he was a good man trapped in a horrible position. He stood up for me when his colleague tried to bully me into the COVID shots. He is the president of the group and that doctor was gone the following year!

Let's face it...the real reason we are where we are is greed, money, and false advertising. Period!

Learning about all of this has motivated me to get up early in the morning before work and sprint or walk, two days a week, I hit the weights. Last but certainly not least, I have planted a large garden and It’s completely organic.

Wow! My son just sent me your book yesterday, and I haven’t been able to put it down! Then went into YouTube, and there you are! Amazing! Thanks to you both for all your wisdom and better understanding of our own bodies!

Why is it that I have to spend a small fortune for health insurance that covers next to nothing and I have to pay for testing through function health and Viome out of pocket???? Why is it that I have to find answers for myself? Sad state of affairs!

There is NO WAY anyone in government will make a change to better the overall health of people in this country. They know if they did, the entire economy would collapse ‼️‼️‼️. You must have sick people (and war) to keep people employed (and paying taxes). It’s all so pathetic‼️
