Why Chronic Disease is Exploding w/ Daniel Schmachtenberger

Coming up on this episode of the Dr. Hyman Show, we were food we wouldn't be safe to eat. We have a progress narrative that things are getting better and better because of tech and capitalism, and there are certainly areas where that's true. It's just not the whole story. Daniel Schmachtenberger is a social philosopher and system strategist studying how collapsing institutions and exponential tech are reshaping our health.

Some of the effects of tech and capitalism create environmental pollution, cheaper health care or cheaper food that has side effects and externalities that affect our bodies. And so we figured out organophosphates, napalm, awesome. We can kill a lot of people and defaulty, the whole jungle of Vietnam with this. Oh, guess what?

We can also make an herbicide and spray it on all of our food. As you see in your clinic every day, it's all changeable. And it's changeable acutely for each person with behaviors they can take. And it's changeable at scale for everybody with behaviors we can take to do systemic changes. Before we jump into today's episode, I want to share a few ways you can go deeper on your health journey.
