231: In this episode, I sit down with Calley Means, co-founder of TruMed, to talk about how our food and healthcare systems are stacked against us. Calley shares his insider perspective from years of consulting for major food companies, revealing how food subsidies, misleading studies, and the tactics of Big Food and Big Pharma have led to a system that keeps us unhealthy.
