Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the Primal Blueprint.com. Hey, everyone.

Welcome back to the Primal Blueprint Podcast.

Very excited about our guest today, Dr. Mark Hyman.

He is a practicing family physician, but really an internationally recognized leader,

speaker, educator, and advocate in the field of functional medicine, something we talk a lot

about on this show.

He is a 12-time New York Times bestselling author and so much more, a regular contributor on several

television shows and networks, including CBS This Morning. Today, Good Morning America, The View, and CNN.

He's also an advisor and a guest co-host on the Dr. Oz show. We're going to be talking about his book, Food Fix, How to Grow, Produce and Consume Food to Resolve the World's Health, Environmental, Social, and Economic Crisis.

Welcome to the show.

Thanks so much for having me. I really appreciate being here.

This is a really important book. Someone had to do it. I'm really glad you did. Can we send this to every member of Congress? You know, this and we're going to get into why. You'll see as he talks to us about this book. First off, this is, you've claimed this is probably the most important book you feel you've ever written. So let's just start there. Yeah, well, you know, I've written a lot about health and various aspects. But, you know,

as I sit with my patients in my office, I realize it's increasingly difficult to do my job to help

them if they're living in a food system that provides them with the worst possible food on the

planet that destroys their health and that drives their

behavior and decisions. So I really, really was focused on how do we go upstream and solve the

big issues? How do I go and actually get to the root cause? And if my patients are sick from food,

well, what's causing the food? Well, it's the food system. What's causing the food system? It's our food policies. And what's causing the food policies, it's the food industry's

influence and billions of dollars of lobbying and the 187 lobbyist for every member of Congress.

So yes, it's a big problem that we have to fix.
