But food is also the most powerful medicine available to heal chronic diseases. The food we eat literally serves as information, instructions, or code that controls almost every function of the body\u2014including our hormones, appetite, brain chemistry, immune system, gene expression, and even the microbiome.\xa0\nToday on The Doctor\u2019s Farmacy, I\u2019m excited to talk to Mark Walker about incorporating food as medicine into the healthcare system, how we can prescribe food as physicians, and what it will mean for our nation's health and economy.\nMark Walker is the Chairman and CEO of Performance Kitchen, the leading Food Is Medicine\xae company revolutionizing the US Healthcare System. Performance Kitchen specializes in the use of Medically Tailored Meals to treat chronic diseases.
