Pharmacist Ben Fuchs shared natural health remedies and the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that our bodies need to maintain good health. "Health is not a medical issue. It's a lifestyle issue," he argued, claiming that the current medical model is failing to address chronic conditions effectively. "One out of two Americans is going to get cancer at some time in their lifetime," Fuchs pointed out. He criticized the standard American diet, which he described as "ridiculously obscene," noting that "80% of calories come from ultra-processed foods." Fuchs believes that many health issues stem from "over-nourishment and under-nutrition," urging listeners to reconsider their eating habits. He linked neuropathy — or inflammation of the nerves — to blood sugar issues. "Your diagnosis doesn't matter. It's your biochemistry that counts," he said.

Fuchs also underscored the importance of supplements, explaining, "When you start to take nutritional supplements, you allow the body to access the energy from foods more effectively." On the topic of prescription medications, Fuchs expressed skepticism, saying, "There's no prescription drug that you're taking for a long period of time that's going to make you better." He advised individuals to work with their doctors to wean off medications, emphasizing the need for transparency in doctor-patient relationships. "We don't work for the doctor; the doctor works for us," he remarked. Fuchs concluded with a call to action: "We have the power to control our bodies to a large extent," encouraging listeners to embrace a holistic approach to health that includes nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness.
