junk food everywhere.

And now their rates of type 2 diabetes are 1 in 10.

1 in 10.

Did they genetically change?

Or what happened?

100%.

It's about over 2 billion people are overweight or obese versus about 800 million who go to bed hungry.

It's staggering.

We now see globally often the double burden of disease.

We see starvation, obesity, plus type 2 diabetes all in the same populations.

And globally, twice as many people die from chronic preventable lifestyle diseases than die from infectious disease.

The last 20% of people's life is spent with poor health.

Their health span doesn't equal their life span.

Your life span is how many years you're alive.

Your health span is how many years you're healthy.

And that doesn't have to be that way.

You can have a health span that equals your lifespan, meaning you live a full life, you enjoy your life right to the end, and then you just have dinner with your family, go to bed, and check out.

That's a great question.

I realized sitting in my office treating patients that I couldn't cure diabetes in my office.

It was cured on the farm, in the food manufacturers, factories, in the grocery store, in the restaurants, and in the kitchen.
