| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Bostics, starring Lauren Bostic and Michael Bostick. Together, they are the Bostics. |
| 0:10.5 | Hello everybody. Welcome back to another episode of The Bostics. Today's episode is one we approached very |
| 0:16.9 | intentionally. We're sitting down with Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And before we get into it, |
| 0:22.1 | we want to be really clear about how and why we had this conversation. This is not a political |
| 0:27.2 | episode. We didn't bring him on to debate headlines, take sides, or get pulled into the noise. |
| 0:31.8 | We brought him on because there's a much bigger question we think everyone is asking right now. |
| 0:35.9 | And that question is, why are we so unhealthy |
| 0:38.6 | in a country with so many resources? Why are chronic diseases rising? Why does our food system |
| 0:43.8 | look the way it does? Why does health care cost so much and still feel reactive instead of |

| 1:17.0 | hormone disruption, many of the things we talk about regularly on this show. We also zoom out and look |
| 1:21.8 | at health care itself, why it's so expensive, where it prioritizes treatment over prevention, |
| 1:26.0 | and what it would take to actually build a system centered around long-term health. |
| 1:29.8 | So quickly, before we dive in, for those who may not be familiar with his background, Secretary Kennedy is an environmental attorney, |
| 1:35.4 | author and longtime public health advocate. He previously served as senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council and co-founded the Waterkeeper Alliance where he focused on clean |
| 1:44.1 | water protection and holding corporations accountable for environmental harm. He comes from the Kennedy |
