During this stressful time in the US, I wanted to bring you some really uplifting news to give you a much needed break. In this episode, I break down four pivotal news events that give me real hope for the health of America. Here’s what I discuss:

1. Senate Round Table (September 23rd): Major health and wellness advocates and physicians meet with government officials to discuss how to tackle the chronic illness epidemic in the US. It was a never before seen event and is a huge step to igniting top down change for health.

2. Dr. Casey Means and Calley Means: Their rise in popularity is a game changer! Their messages about health are resonating with people across the nation, sparking essential conversations about how we view wellness.

3. Kellogg’s Controversy and #cancelKelloggs Campaign: The backlash against Kellogg’s is a powerful testament to consumer influence. It shows that when we unite in our beliefs, we can drive significant change in the food industry.

4. Pepsi’s Acquisition of Siete: While many are understandably concerned about this, I discuss how it is really a sign of positive change in the industry.

I believe these events reflect a significant cultural shift in how Americans are thinking about health. When we vote with our dollars, we’re not just making personal choices; we’re contributing to a movement toward better health for everyone. Tune in to get inspired and informed about the positive changes happening in our health landscape!
