to discuss this is Dr. Mark Hyman. He's head of the Strategy and Innovation for the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine,

host of the Doctors Pharmacy Podcast and the author of a brand new book, Food Fix,

How to Save Our Health, Our Economy, our communities, and our planet one bite at a time.

Today, Dr. Hyman and I are going to discuss how and why our health problems are so connected to the food we eat,

Oh my God, well, it's just been staggering.
