b"\\u201cFOOD IS MEDICINE. IT WORKS FASTER, BETTER, AND CHEAPER THAN ALMOST ANY DRUG.\\u201d\\nI know how hard it is to eat a healthy diet.\\nIt requires time and energy that you often feel like you don\\u2019t have. But what if I told you the time and energy you think you don\\u2019t have is because of the food you\\u2019re currently putting into your body?\\nIt's easy to be skeptical about this idea. But that\\u2019s what the food industry wants us to think. It wants us to continue eating its food, not giving a second thought to the sugars and fat we\\u2019re putting into our system.\\nTo break free from this mindset, it's really helpful to talk to the experts. And today, I have one of the most knowledgeable people in the field: Dr. Mark Hyman.\\nDr. Mark Hyman, M.D. is the founder and medical director of the UltraWellness Center, Director of the Cleveland Clinical Center for Functional Medicine, and the Chairman of the Board of the Institute for Functional Medicine.\\nHe is a New York Times bestselling author with books like 10-Day Detox Diet and Eat Fat, Get Thin. His latest book Food: What The Heck Should I Eat? provides an explanation of the nutritional science around food and why the political, environmental, economic and social issues corrupt our understanding of food.\\nDr. Hyman is one of my favorite people to learn about health from because he is so honest about what's going on. Instead of trying to push his own agenda, he's got humanity's best interest at heart.\\nIf you\\u2019re looking to learn about the connection between food and energy or how the food industry manipulates what we see on TV, tune into Episode 616 to forever change your eating habits.\\nSome Questions I Ask:\\nHow does our food impact everything?
