Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States. Cancer is number two.
Diabetes and Alzheimer’s are rising fast.

Food doesn’t appear anywhere on that list.

And yet—food is involved in every single one of those conditions.

In this episode, I ask a question most people avoid:

Is food the leading cause of death in the U.S.—or are we just not counting what actually drives disease?

This is not a diet conversation.
It’s not fear-based.
And it’s definitely not about perfection or blame.

We talk about:

• Why we only count what kills loudly—and ignore what causes damage quietly
• How food shapes inflammation, blood sugar, energy, and long-term health long before diagnosis
• Why “normal eating” often leads to normalized symptoms
• The difference between final events and root drivers
• How to start paying attention to your body before it has to scream

You’ll also get practical, no-cost takeaways you can use immediately—no supplements, no programs required.

I created a simple Food Audit & Label Check Tool you can use as a Google Doc.
It’s not a diet.

It’s an awareness tool designed to help you see patterns you may have normalized.
