What if everything you’ve been taught about nutrition and health was wrong?

And by following old school principles, you actually have a higher chance of developing chronic diseases?

Brian Sanders, health advocate and filmmaker of Food Lies, has been questioning our current food system after his parents passed away at a young age.

Despite following the nutritional guidelines and doing everything they thought was right, they still ended up getting sick and dying from preventable diseases.

Brian set out to discover why that was and what could be done to change this.

And that’s exactly what he shares on today’s episode with host Dr. Anthony Gustin.

Brian is one of the leading health advocates who’s not afraid to call out our food system and expose it for the food lies they’ve been feeding us for several decades.

He’s been doing this all over social media and he’s in the process of creating a film that outlines exactly what he’s discovered based on several years of research.

In the episode, you’ll have a sneak peek into what he’s discovered, how he got to this point, and what can be done to fix this.

You’ll also hear Brian’s thoughts on what the biggest offenders are and why you should remove them, why the food system is profit driven, and why our focus is all wrong.

One of the great things about Brian’s research is that he’s not biased one way or another. So you’re not going to hear him push one diet over another or put down any of them. Rather, you’ll learn simple principles to live by that can improve your health starting today.

As you’ll hear about in this episode, roughly 90 million Americans are unknowingly living in a prediabetic state and up to 70% of them will end up being diabetic if they don’t address it starting today.

That’s why Josh Clemente, a founding partner at Levels Health, and his team are actively working to change that outcome by offering a continuous glucose monitor that is accessible even if you don’t have diagnosed blood sugar issues.

Because, as Josh explains, testing your fasting blood glucose and A1C level once a year aren’t enough to show you the true picture.

Instead, continuous glucose monitoring and making this something that most people start tracking -- just like you would with your steps or sleep -- long before any blood sugar issues surface is the answer to solving this issue.

Doing so has incredible results both in the short and long term which is why it’s so effective.

And that’s exactly what you’ll hear more about in this episode.

Josh and Dr. Anthony Gustin dive into why more people should be tracking their blood sugar using a CGM even if they don’t have diagnosed issues, the incredible information you can gather from doing this, and the powerful benefits that surface as a result of tracking.

Josh Clemente is a former SpaceX Lead Life Support Systems Engineer, a CrossFit L2 Trainer, a Senior Engineer at Hyperloop One and he’s part of the founding team at Levels Health, which aims to bring continuous glucose monitoring to the masses.

Tune in now to see why this is one area of your health that you can’t afford to skip and the benefits you’ll see when you start tracking.
