## Resource

Why are more people sick than ever, even with more health information available than ever? In this Digital Social Hour episode, Sean Kelly sits down with Dr. Mark Sherwood to discuss modern health, food quality, chronic illness, testosterone, inflammation, aging, stress, AI, nervous system regulation, and the daily habits that shape long-term wellness. Dr. Sherwood argues that many people are not failing because they take no action. They are failing because they are taking the wrong action, often while being pushed toward pills, processed food, bad information, and a system that profits when people stay unwell. The conversation covers food subsidies, the food pyramid, glyphosate, testosterone decline, gut health, parasites, hormone therapy, peptides, pharmaceutical ads, misinformation, first responders, trauma, mental health, and why health should be treated as a full-life system. Later, Dr. Sherwood shares lessons from his time as a police officer and professional baseball player, why discipline changed his life, how AI is helping clinics become more efficient, and what he wants people to understand about authentic longevity.
