Food Is Medicine: How Prescription Produce Is Healing Chronic Disease | Erin W. Martin

281: Erin W. Martin is an aging expert and advocate for food-based healthcare. I am so excited to have her on the show - we’re going deep into nutrition’s role in longevity, health and wellness, and exploring how programs like FreshRx Oklahoma (which Erin founded) are literally prescribing organic produce to help lower-income families reverse conditions like type 2 diabetes and learn more about nutrition. You’ll hear the latest on health policies nationwide and what you can do to get involved with a Food Is Medicine movement in your local community. Topics Discussed: → Can food treat chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes? → How can the Food Is Medicine Act change healthcare in the U.S.? → What is FreshRx? → Can we reinvent what aging looks like? → How can growing and buying local food improve longevity?
