The #1 Cause Of Obesity, Diabetes & Illness Nobody Talks About | Robert Kennedy Jr & Mark Hyman

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is an independent candidate for President of the United States. He is the founder of the Waterkeeper Alliance—the world’s largest clean water advocacy group—and served as its longtime chairman and attorney. He founded the Children’s Health Defense, where he served as chairman and chief litigation counsel in its campaign to address childhood chronic disease and toxic exposures.

As President, he promises to restore the middle class, unravel corporate capture, end the chronic disease epidemic, improve the quality of the water we drink and the air we breathe, heal the divide, fix our public education system, take care of our veterans, support the trades, make homes affordable again, support regenerative farming, among other key priorities.

Imagine our government not beholden to big food and big pharma. We could fix many ills in society

[EEE-dsbb]

What impresses me about RFK Jr is that not only can he explain what's wrong, but he can explain how it got to be that way.

[jj.a.]

I am a medical researcher, and this interview profoundly moved me. I never thought our leaders would show so much concern toward healthcare and possess such an extensive understanding of what needs to be changed and how to implement that change. America would be so fortunate to have RFK Jr as its next president.

In 2022 I was very sick. I kept gaining weight no matter what diet I followed. I was barely eating and gaining. I have Rheumatoid arthritis and could barely walk. I am in my 50s. I heard over and over that menopausal women can’t lose significant weight. I started listening to functional medical drs. I found a naturopath nutritionist. I’m down 97 lbs. I have my life back. I eat a lot. But I eat REAL food. No diet anything. Nothing I can’t pronounce. Homemade food food. No seed oils. No gluten. No processed sugar. I have my life back. I walk for miles each day. I feel amazing. My adult son is on the spectrum. I’ve been working with his microbiam and trying hard to get him to eat better foods and go out in the sunshine. He is older and didn’t have nearly the doses kids get now. But he changed 100% after his MMR. Stopped talking. Developer a gait. Started flapping and stimming. Marked changes. We have video to show that. I believe it’s combo vax. They’ve NEVER tested combos. Nor once.
Btw. Since I changed my diet I’ve used NO sunscreen and have no burned. Not once. I tan beautifully. I’m in the sun daily. I use oil free moisturizers only. I use natural cleaners in my home. No bad candle fragrances. So many toxins are in our lives. We are very conditioned to take meds. Not sleep. Eat poorly. Live in anxiety. They want us sick. We’ll people don’t buy meds.

American food isn't protected! Most ingredients in american food are banned in Europe and other parts of the world!

We have a sick care system. I get no coverage for chiropractic care, supplements, and massage. Yet the government will pay thousands for medications and surgery.

[skg-rgmh]

Heal the divide. Heal America. Just stop toxicity in politics, our food, our environment and public health. Kennedy for the America we can be proud of again

L-O-V-E this man 💖. RFK Jr is exactly what this country has been needing for decades; he GETS IT when it comes to nutrition, health and the overall fitness of this country.
Please share this podcast with those who are still undecided who to support in 2024.

[charlottehammond]

i am a functional RD and hearing this guy run for office makes me actually cry. I never thought anyone in office would care about how f'd up the fight for metabolic health has become and how hopeless it feels when my patients' primary docs still tell me that a vit D is not a necessary lab or a fiber one bar is fiber or sugar free processed foods are okay or whatever BS it is... yeah. happy tears.

[melissaklouda]

As a parent, the current state of health and America is frightening. I pray often for better leaders who care about the health and well-being of our citizens and country as a whole (animals, water, soil, air quality, etc.). Thank you for this ray of hope and that change is possible!

[ricknblueridge]

Start with a total ban on high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners and food dyes.

[slobodanjevtovic]

One of the reasons I'm voting for him. He talks about so many issues and has a plan to solve the problems.

[runcmt]

The childhood vaccine schedule has increased greatly for the current generation. I do not think food is the only problem.

[RichardStoneHawaii]

Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr Hyman and Mr Kennedy. I attended some of RFK Jr's functions in Hawaii a couple weeks ago. It is so difficult for many people, especially older people who get their news from the traditional news sources, to even be willing to listen to him. The fact that you are willing to do this program is immensely valuable to those of us who understand that food is the basis for solving virtually every major problem in our society I have found myself in agreement with most of Mr Kennedy's policies and I'm extremely glad to have this expansion of what little I previously knew about his attitudes toward fixing our health.

When I was growing up, desserts were an occasional treat. Not a daily staple.

[karenpancholi]

I’m inspired by RFK’s physical fitness. I’ve started intermittent fasting, have cut out sugar and am going to the gym more often since seeing all of his videos. Thank you!!

[jeanninekilbride]

People I talk to think they are eating healthy. They are are not. Also diabetic members of my family would rather take the medicine than wat better and get off the medication and put their diabetes in remission. I am so disgusted by this track of thinking.

[bruceelniski]

The number one ingredient to remove from the food supply is manufactured seed oils such as canola, cotton seed oil, crisco and margarine. Check out the ancestral diet.

[leahschindler]

It feels so good to hear a presidential candidate speak truthfully about things that actually matter! A first in my gen x lifetime!

[helenkotowske]

I keep thinking of the President JFK fitness challenge. I think I was in 8th grade when we did it. We were physically active & went swimming, surfing, riding bikes, playing outdoor games & and dancing indoors to songs like Stevie Wonder's "Fingertips". Also, Chubby Checkers' song "Let's Do the Twist" was popular. The twist was good exercise. Not many girls were doing actual workout exercises like pull-ups & and push-ups, so those were the hardest for me in the President's fitness challenge! I was sore for days!
When I was growing up almost no one was obese or overweight. We were active and you mostly had to make your food, so you were expending some calories making it. And you couldn't just grab so many fattening premade foods. I look forward to Bobby's fitness challenge!❤
