We’re living longer - but not healthier. Chronic disease, obesity, cancer, and cognitive decline are skyrocketing, and most of us have been led to believe it’s all about food and fitness. But there’s a deeper story hiding in plain sight.

 

In this eye-opening conversation, Coach Kevin English sits down with Dr. Nathan Donley, a cellular biologist turned environmental health researcher, to uncover the truth about the toxins all around us - and inside us.

 

From pesticide-laden crops to chemical-filled water and everyday household products, Dr. Donley reveals how corporate profits and weak policy have created an invisible health crisis. You’ll learn what these chemicals are doing to your body, how they interact with diet and lifestyle, and why prevention (not treatment) should be the future of medicine.

 

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “everything right” but still struggling to feel vibrant and strong, this episode will change the way you think about health, aging, and personal responsibility.

 

In This Episode You’ll Discover:

  • Why chronic disease rates keep climbing - even as science advances
  • The shocking truth about what’s really in your food, water, and soil
  • How modern agriculture and corporate lobbying shape the “standard” American diet
  • The difference between dirt and living soil (and why it matters for your health)
  • How long-term exposure to small amounts of toxins can sabotage your body’s ability to heal
  • Why the solution isn’t a “detox” - it’s systemic change and smarter choices
  • What steps you can take today to reduce exposure and reclaim control over your health
