Creator description · original textText language: English
Modern diets are failing because of a fundamental mismatch between our biology and our food. Dr. Douglas Wallace explains why we have been looking at chronic disease through the wrong lens.

Understanding how energy production is disrupted by current dietary habits is the key to fixing modern health. For the full conversation, check out episode 283 on the Mind & Matter YouTube channel.
