    In this thought-provoking episode, host Kevin English dives into an urgent issue affecting all of us—our health and how it intersects with politics, industry, and personal responsibility.

    As we approach election day in the United States, Kevin takes a close look at the staggering $4.5 trillion Americans spend annually on healthcare, with 86% going toward treating preventable lifestyle diseases.

    The shocking reality? Only 12% of Americans are considered metabolically healthy. Kevin explores what’s driving our nation’s health crisis and asks: what can we do to make ourselves, our families, and our communities truly healthy?

    Key Topics in This Episode:

    • The Big Picture of U.S. Healthcare Spending
      Why $4.5 trillion in healthcare spending hasn’t made us healthier, with the majority of funds going toward preventable lifestyle diseases.
    • Lifestyle Diseases and Their Root Causes
      Unpacking the factors contributing to our declining health—ultra-processed foods, sedentary lifestyles, and toxic environments—and what we can do about it.
    • The Role of Politics and Industry
      How our current healthcare and food industries profit from keeping us dependent on medications and processed foods, and why true health reform starts with individual action, not government intervention.
    • Simple Steps to Reclaim Your Health
      Practical tips for taking control of your well-being through real food, daily movement, strength training, and mindful lifestyle choices. Learn how to take the “red pill” and break free from the health matrix.
    • Building a Healthy Aging Movement
      Kevin’s call to action for listeners to lead by example in their communities, become advocates for healthier living, and join a grassroots movement to improve metabolic health across generations.

    Episode Highlights:

    • A mind-bending look at the difference between millions, billions, and trillions to grasp the scale of U.S. healthcare spending.
    • The link between the American diet and the surge in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other lifestyle diseases.
    • Kevin’s “Silver Edge Rebel Army” challenge—becoming a leader in the healthy aging movement by adopting small, consistent habits that deliver big results.

    Actionable Takeaways:

    • Prioritize whole foods over ultra-processed “Frankenfoods.”
    • Aim for a minimum of 7,000 steps each day and strength train three days a week.
    • Educate yourself on environmental toxins and minimize exposure where possible.
    • Sleep for at least seven hours each night and take active steps to manage stress.

    Tune in for an episode that challenges conventional views on health and offers a path to reclaiming control over your body and mind. Because true health transformation starts with individual choices—and it starts with you.
