How Modern Living is Slowly Killing Us

03/15/24 • 44 min

We love our green lawns and living next to green golf courses in big houses surrounded by pristine lawns and swimming pools. We love the convenience of going to the supermarket and picking up anything we want to eat, including Corn Flakes and Corn Chips. But all this comes at a cost.
We dump thousands of gallons of pesticides on the soil to achieve pristine lawns and golf courses. To produce $350 million tons of corn annually in the United States, we cover the crop with toxic pesticides that enter our soil, water, and food supply.
Lindsay Goddard, MS, RD, LD shares ways we can be healthier and avoid exposure to these environmental toxins. Lindsay is a medical liaison with Fullscript and has read thousands of toxicology reports. She's helped physicians read environmental toxins and mycotoxin lab reports on their patients. She knows the detrimental impact of toxins on the nervous system and organs.

How to Navigate an Often Biased Healthcare System

Our healthcare system is complex and unfortunately often biased against minorities and African American patients. For the past 20 years, Dr. Steele has witnesses the biases and helped her patients receive respectful, quality care despite their heritage, race, or religion.
Dr. Steele agrees that the gaps and equities in healthcare became apparent during the pandemic.
As only one of 5.7% of physicians in America who is mixed race or black, Dr. Steele advocates for health access and the respect and care for all human beings. She advices that black patients consider bringing a representative to their physician visits to ensure they are heard and treated with respect because even unconscious bias occurs every day.
Life expectancy for black patients is 10 years less than compared to white patients. Black Americans are 11% uninsured compared to the 7% of white Americans.
When looking at adults with mental illness issues, 39% of African Americans are uninsured; 36% of Hispanic Americans are uninsured; and 25% of Asian Americans are uninsured. The look of commercial insurers is an huge impediment to access to care and many minorities are not in the position to pay cash for holistic care or healthcare in general.
Dr. Steele shares examples of the micro aggressions, bullying, dismissive behaviors, and other barriers that minorities have been navigating for years.
For a deeper dive into these issues, read Dr. Steele's blog posts (below) about healthcare bias and finding a black holistic doctor:
