This episode breaks down:
Why ultra-processed food is fueling chronic diseaseHow food can be medicine — or silent poisonThe faith-based responsibility of stewarding your bodyThe truth about rice, sugar, inflammation, and gut healthWhy minority communities are targeted with fast foodHow minerals like magnesium, potassium, and iron impact heart healthThe dangers of alcohol, processed meats, and modern dietsWhat “Renew Your Plate” really meansWhy Make America Healthy Again starts with food
Giovani also dives deep into sea moss, gut health, emotional eating, military nutrition, faith, discipline, and how honoring your health honors God.
This episode is a must-watch if you care about longevity, faith, holistic health, and breaking generational cycles of disease.
