Can we really Make America Healthy Again?
In this dynamic and slightly unconventional episode, our hosts Dr. Adam Brown and Dr. Lara Zibners combine a spin class with a candid conversation on the fragility of the American public health system. As they pedal through pop hits and resistance levels, they dig into the recent political shifts shaking up healthcare leadership, namely the appointment of RFK Jr. and others with controversial public health views. They challenge the legitimacy of decisions like dismantling vaccine review boards and appointing science skeptics to positions of power, all while reinforcing the importance of evidence-based healthcare policy.
Beyond politics, the conversation expands into the broader social determinants of health, including how infrastructure, socioeconomic status, and nutrition access influence America's wellbeing. They contrast Europe’s walkable cities and food transparency with the U.S.’s car dependency and ultra-processed diets.
Whether you're on a bike or a walk, this episode will get your heart rate up.
