Episode description
Story at-a-glance
- Modern lifestyles have drastically reduced your body's ability to produce cellular energy. Humans now generate 75% less adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the currency of cellular energy, than a century ago
- Modern diets are filled with ultraprocessed foods, excessive sugar and harmful vegetable oils, which has led to widespread nutrient deficiencies despite consuming sufficient calories
- Sedentary lifestyles have become the norm. One-third of Americans spend more than eight hours a day sitting; this increases the risks of diabetes, heart disease and cognitive decline
- Environmental toxins, including agricultural chemicals and endocrine disruptors from plastics, have infiltrated food, water and air. These toxins put you at risk of hormonal and metabolic disruptions
- To reverse chronic illness caused by modern living, you need to address their root cause at the cellular level through lifestyle changes, rather than relying on prescription medications that only mask symptoms
