Our diets are the main driver of the chronic disease epidemic we are experiencing today. 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. 

Today 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.

Mark 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. Mark is one of the leading experts in the country on the new industry of Food Is Medicine, which is the application of healthy food paid for by the US Healthcare System. Mark is a CPA and the founder of Dugout Ventures, an athlete-based investment group with Hall of Fame baseball player partners like David Ortiz, Nolan Ryan, and Barry Larkin.
