About this episode
This episode explores the broken modern food system in America and its implications for health, featuring insights from the producers of the documentary 'Breaking Big Food'.
In this episode we dive into Breaking Big Food , a compelling look at how the modern food system in America got so broken — and what it means for our health. I’m joined by producers Ashley Leroux and Patrick Sullivan , who are not only key voices behind the film but also owners of Jigsaw Health , makers of high-quality magnesium and mineral supplements that support metabolic and overall health. We talk about the inspiration for the film, what they uncovered about Big Food’s influence on policy and public health, and why grassroots food solutions and metabolic health matter more than ever. Whether you’ve seen the documentary or are curious what all the conversation is about, this is a conversation about systems, incentives, and what real change looks like. Breaking Big Food is available to stream now on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video , and for a limited time you can watch the full documentary online at BreakingBigFood.com . ( Jigsaw Health ) Stay tuned at the end of the episode for the official trailer to the documentary. Get full access to Stuff Your Doctor Should Know at healthygutgirl.substack.com/subscribe
