Pharmacist Ben Fuchs addressed the many ways we can incorporate natural remedies to help with ailments and health issues. Emphasizing the importance of nutrition and supplementation in health, he criticized the prevailing pharmaceutical approach. "We're so sick unnecessarily," he said, pointing to the $4.5 trillion spent annually on medication in the U.S. without corresponding improvements in health or longevity. "If you're sick, a supplement program can be life changing," he added, stressing the role of minerals, amino acids, and vitamins often missing from modern diets. Speaking of the ketogenic diet, he noted that it's a low-calorie diet, and that the one thing you can do to add years to your life is to reduce your caloric intake.
Fuchs maintained that cholesterol is vital for life, hormones, and brain function. Countering the conventional medical approach, he challenged fears around dietary cholesterol, saying, "The best way to lower your cholesterol is to eat cholesterol," because it regulates the body's own production. He warned against the overuse of statin drugs, calling the push to reduce cholesterol production "almost like an evil plot." Instead, he urged lowering sugar intake to manage cholesterol and improve health, linking sugar consumption to higher cholesterol and insulin levels.
"What makes nutrients so amazing is they work as a system. Drugs try to target specific parts of the body. Nutrients address the entire body," Fuchs commented. For instance, when you take vitamin C for a cold, you get less wrinkles. He described the skin as a "bioelectrical, smart... third brain," cautioning against smothering it with creams that disrupt its natural healing processes. He also highlighted the gut's role in health, calling it "the most important structure in the system" and linking leaky gut to chronic diseases.
