How to use food as medicine to reverse disease in months - the top 5 foods you must eat to live longer

Cardiologist and Director of the Food is Medicine Institute, Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, discusses how modern diets increase heart attack risk and why conventional medical advice often falls short. He traces how historical forces—from World War II nutrition concerns to tobacco industry influence—shaped today's food guidelines and the dominance of ultra-processed foods. The conversation introduces a framework focused on protective, whole foods rather than calorie counting or fat restriction, exploring how the right dietary shifts can control blood sugar, lower cholesterol, support gut health, and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Mozaffarian argues that food prescriptions could become as central to healthcare as pharmaceuticals.
