The Supply Chain Issue No One is Talking About That Directly Affects Your Health

39 minutes

China Controls Our Antibiotics. That's Not a Trade Issue — It's a Health Crisis.

Dr. Terri and EVEXIAS co-founder Dan DeNeui just got off a two-week sprint through Washington, from the MAHA event with Secretary Kennedy and Dr. Oz, to lunch with former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, to the America's First Policy Institute conference. What they brought back isn't political talking points. It's a clear-eyed picture of where medicine is headed, and how close we are to a crisis most people haven't even thought about.

Peptides are legally back on the table, for now. But the two and a half years they were off market created a gray market that's still operating, still cutting corners, and still putting patients at risk. Meanwhile, the peptide stacks trending on TikTok aren't just sketchy, they're illegal, and the practitioners prescribing them are going to find out the hard way. Dr. Terri and Dan explain exactly what's safe, what's not, and how to tell the difference.

Then there's the supply chain conversation nobody is having loudly enough. Over 80% of the active pharmaceutical ingredients used to make American medications, including antibiotics, come from China and India. The same is true for fertilizer. If either of those supply lines gets cut, it's not an economic problem. It's a warfare problem. Your cells don't care what party you voted for. They just know they need to function.

This one is for anyone who wants to understand what's actually happening at the intersection of health policy, food security, and medicine, and why it matters to them personally.
