Food Is Medicine…End of Story
Mounting research shows that there is no magic bullet to treat heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, allergies, digestive disorders, headaches, fatigue, or any of the myriad problems we suffer from in the 21st century.
But increasing evidence also shows us something else.
It shows that food is the most powerful “drug” we have not just to prevent, but also treat, cure, and reverse most chronic illnesses. Food contains information that speaks to our genes, not just calories for energy.
What you eat programs your body with messages of health or illness. We are learning from research in the field of nutrigenomics, that food “talks” to our DNA switching on or off genes that lead to health or disease.

I learned how powerful eating the right foods were when I was diagnosed with non alcholic fatty liver disease. Eating the right foods not only corrected my liver but I also lost over 30 pounds.
I love your story of triumph over NAFLD Martha. That shows how powerful your food choices are in managing your health. Keep up the good work.
Karen, I really like Dr. Hyman. I saw him first on a PBS special. Now this is enough to knock people’s socks off: food “talks” to our DNA switching on or off genes that lead to health or disease.’ Thanks so much for this post. I have been tuned in to food as medicine for many years. Thanks for bringing it forefront now.
Thanks Kebba. It’s been my passion for the last 12 years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009.
You are starting to make me a believer that I need to make some food choice changes in my life.
Lynn…I’m happy to get on a call and chat. The worst that could happen is that you are no worse off than you are now. But you’re more likely to walk away with some good action steps.
