The Dr. Hyman Show

Encore: Food: The Root Causes of Our Healthcare, Economic and Social Crises with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.


Listen Later

You’ve probably heard a lot about Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but beyond social media sound bites, do you really know where he stands on the issues shaping America’s health? Recorded last year when Kennedy was a presidential candidate, this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show provides a deep dive into his vision for improving the well-being of Americans. A vision Kennedy could put into action if confirmed as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Kennedy is the founder of the Waterkeeper Alliance, the world’s largest clean water advocacy group, and served as its longtime chairman and attorney. He also founded the Children’s Health Defense and led efforts to address chronic disease and toxic exposures. As a litigator, he was part of the team that successfully prosecuted Monsanto for glyphosate’s link to cancer.

Tune in to explore Kennedy’s stance on tackling chronic disease, promoting regenerative farming, and improving the quality of the water we drink and the air we breathe.
