Dr. Hyman Releases Food Fix Book
Dr. Mark Hyman's "Food Fix Uncensored" launched today, promising a candid examination of food, environment, and society intersections. The book offers practical clean-eating strategies while exposing challenges in food policy and industry transparency.
- "Food Fix Uncensored" is a revised and expanded edition of Dr. Hyman's 2020 bestseller, "Food Fix". - The author, Dr. Mark Hyman, is a practicing family physician and a prominent, sometimes controversial, advocate for functional medicine. He is the founder of The UltraWellness Center and was the founder of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine. - The book argues that the modern food system is intentionally designed to profit from illness, implicating what Hyman calls the toxic triad of "Big Food, Big Ag, and Big Pharma". - Hyman's nonprofit, the Food Fix Campaign, actively advocates for policy changes in Washington, D.C., focusing on regenerative agriculture and treating food as medicine. - The book asserts that more than 93 percent of Americans exhibit signs of metabolic dysfunction as a result of the current food system. - A key argument is that the prevalence of chronic disease is not a result of personal failure but rather a "policy failure by design". - The rerelease is accompanied by a new Digital Action Guide, which provides tools for readers to make changes at personal, community, and policy levels. - Dr. Hyman connects the industrial food system to broader issues, including climate change, social injustice, and the national debt, with a significant portion of the federal budget going towards diet-related chronic diseases.
