The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
171. Courtney Swan: Why Your ‘Healthy’ Food Is Actually Harmful

I wonder if we might just delve into some of the sinister things that have gone on for decades that are really leading to this chronic disease epidemic that we have. And the reason why the majority of people are just walking around probably 60% of their true state of normal and just believing that this is a consequence of aging.

Yeah, and I think it's normalized, not to cut you off, but I think it's normalized too because at certain ages, your whole peer group is experiencing the same thing. They're like, well, none of us really sleep well and we don't remember anything. I can't find my car keys and my belt in my wallet. And they're like, oh, it's normal because all my friends are doing the same thing.

I got this spare tire that I never really had, but all my friends do. And I'm on three meds, but all of my buddies are on three meds and my wife's on three or four meds. And I think that normalization almost makes it feel like, It's just a part of, quote unquote, what happens.

What does it mean to be ultra-processed? I think a lot of people don't understand what that means. I mean, does that mean that we just take a cow and slaughter it and chop it into steaks and package it and send it? No.

You know what's amazing is I still remember going into my grandmother's basement, Grandma Rose, who I named my daughter after. So my grandmother, Rose Braca, she, in her basement, which was always like a little cool, were all these like canned vegetables everywhere.

And she would, every year, you know, she would can vegetables and she would make like sauerkrauts and kimchis and pickles and all of this stuff. I always thought it was like a little weird. But- I really identify with it now. And I remember you used to press the lid and if the lid was still tight, she was like, yeah, bring it upstairs. If the lid pops, throw it in the trash.

And I still remember it. So I'm like, this is so weird. Because I was here last Christmas and that pickle was right there. So something tells me I shouldn't bring this up and eat it. But it made so much sense. They didn't have preservatives and they didn't have the thickening agents and a lot of these artificial ingredients.
