Why You’re Worth More Sick Than Healthy (To Them)

In partnership with

Here’s an uncomfortable truth: you’re worth more to some companies when you're sick than when you're well.

It’s not a conspiracy… it’s business. The ultra-processed food you’re sold? Designed to be addictive. The meds you’re prescribed? They’re designed to be forever.

The truth is, Big Food and Big Pharma often create and sustain the very health problems they claim to solve.

But here’s the good news: your daily habits hold more power than their marketing.

Quick Take:
🟢 Cost: Free (to break the cycle)
🟢 Actionable: Easy for everyone
🟢 Impact: High

The same marketing minds that sold you cigarettes now work for Big Food. One of them, Howard Moskowitz, even helped engineer the “bliss point”—the exact mix of sugar, salt, and fat that keeps you reaching for more.

Addiction by design didn’t disappear—it just changed products.

Think about it:

• You eat fast food and drink sugary beverages that spike your blood sugar and fuel inflammation.

• Over time, that leads to insulin resistance, joint pain, fatigue—maybe even depression.

• You’re prescribed statins, antidepressants, or blood pressure meds… often for life.

Big Food creates the problem. Big Pharma sells the solution.

And here’s the kicker: neither industry profits when you're healthy. Prevention doesn’t sell like pills do.

Now, this isn’t a knock on medicine. Life-saving interventions absolutely matter. But it is a call to question the system—especially when it profits from keeping people just sick enough to stay dependent.

Studies show:

• Ultra-Processed Foods & Disease:
  A 2023 study of 200,000 people found that those who ate the most ultra-processed foods had a 24% higher risk of cardiovascular disease.

• Pharma’s Profit Motive:
  The top 10 pharmaceutical companies generated $700 billion in global revenue in 2023, with most of that driven by chronic illness medications, not solutions.

• Prevention Gets Pennies:
  In the U.S., less than 3% of health spending goes to public health and prevention, while chronic disease accounts for 90% of healthcare costs.

How a broken food system is destroying your gut microbiome. Dr. Mark Hyman joins Gary Brecka to expose how our broken food system is destroying America's health.

How to beat the system—naturally and daily:

1. Choose Whole Foods Over Packaged Ones:
   If it has a commercial, a mascot, or a 12-month shelf life, think twice.

2. Read Labels Relentlessly:
   If it contains ingredients you can’t pronounce, your body likely can’t process them well.

3. Move Daily, Sleep Deeply, Breathe Fully:
   The basics done consistently, outperform almost everything else.

4. Ask “Why” More Often:
   Before starting a lifelong med, ask: “What’s the root cause?” Seek out doctors who look beyond the surface.
