Morning Message Book | Hard Copy – Daily Quotes, Health Tips and Inspiration for Holistic Health
BY M.D. JEFFREY I. BARKE (AUTHOR)
Dr. Jeff Barke’s foundational guide to true wellness. A daily collection of empowering quotes, practical health tips, and interactive goal-setting pages designed to support your journey toward optimal health of the mind, body, and soul.
Dispelling the Myths you've been told about Optimal Health. Forward by Kirk Cameron, Will Witt, and Dr. Joeseph Ladapo. We have been taught for a generation that the foods our grandparents ate are unhealthy. Instead, we are encouraged to consume highly processed and nutritionally vapid products. These new and improved choices have led to chronic illnesses, including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and even cancer. Our media is saturated with food companies and big pharma ads, and our healthcare industries are captured by their pharmaceutical sponsors. I received only a few hours of nutrition education during my medical school training – mostly about obscure diseases such as scurvy, beriberi, and rickets. We were taught that red meat was unhealthy, butter clogged our arteries, and butter substitutes made with vegetable oils were healthier. We were told that low-fat diets should be emphasized to patients to prevent heart disease and diabetes. Yet, 150 years ago, heart disease and type 2 diabetes were much less common. Heart disease is now the leading cause of death in the United States, and 40% of our population has a chronic disease. Just look around the next time you are at the mall – how many obese and unhealthy-appearing people do you see? Now, look at the old pictures of the Woodstock music festival from the summer of 1969; you can’t find a single obese person in the pictures. It was during the Covid crisis that I realized much of our modern allopathic medical focus has been wrong and perversely influenced by big pharma's need to feed their bottom line. A disease model that says there isn't a symptom or condition that a pharmaceutical product cannot help is a model that thrives on illness. We are one of only two countries that allow direct-to-consumer advertising by the pharmaceutical industry. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed creating these messages. Thank you for inviting me on your journey toward optimal health.
