It is predicted that by the year 2050 about half of adults will have at least one chronic disease. We know now more than ever, so many of these diseases have preventable lifestyle and nutritional factors. 💔 ⁠
⁠
Although wellness has entered the cultural mainstream, our society has still never been sicker. Unfortunately, we aren't taught about real nutrition in school. We have a medical profession that is rarely trained to use food as medicine, and the multi-billion dollar fast-food and pharmaceutical industries thrive on misleading consumers.⁠ Now it's time to take our power back! 🙌 ⁠
