Dr. Alfred Granite takes you on a journey through the complexities of chronic disease in this episode of The Human Condition. With decades of research under his belt, Dr. Granite shares his insights into why our health seems to be spiralling downwards, particularly since the 1980s. Driven by a recent personal health scare, he is on a mission to uncover the real causes behind the rise in chronic illnesses.
This isn't just an academic exercise for him; it's personal, and he wants you to hear it straight. He argues that modern healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and the food industry are more about profits than genuine care. Dr. Granite highlights the gap between what our bodies are designed to consume and what we actually eat today. Imagine your ancestors trying to wrap their heads around a Twinkie!
He suggests that our love for hyperpalatable junk food might be leading us down a path of poor health, thanks to an evolutionary mismatch. Throughout the episode, Dr. Granite doesn't shy away from challenging the status quo. He questions whether big pharma and food industries are more interested in managing diseases than curing them, and whether the foods we eat are truly nourishing us or just filling us up.
To help you make better choices, he recommends practical tools like apps and guides that can assist in navigating this complex food landscape. Dr. Granite’s passion project is funded by himself, showing his commitment to spreading knowledge regardless of financial gain. He encourages listeners to subscribe to his newsletter for further resources and insights into living healthier lives. By understanding our evolutionary blueprint and recognising the forces at play in our food systems, Dr.
Granite believes we can reclaim control over our health. Could this episode be the wake-up call you need to rethink your diet and health? It's a thought-provoking listen that promises to leave you questioning the norms and eager to learn more.
