503: Is AI the Answer to Chronic Disease - Or Just a Smooth-Talking Health Coach That Knows You Better Than Your Therapist?

This started out as a totally normal interview about the future of health and wellness, and then something crazy happened that you will not see coming. Let's just say… there's a twist. A moment you'll have to hear for yourself. So buckle up, Food Heals Nation. Because in today's episode, we're going way beyond green juice and into the tech-powered future of healing. I sat down with Marcus Spruce, a public health expert, to talk about how artificial intelligence is transforming everything from how we manage chronic disease to how we get reminded to go to bed. Sounds futuristic, right? Just wait until you find out what else happens. Tune in to hear: The unexpected moment that will have you questioning everything Can AI really help us live longer, reverse chronic disease, and remind us to get our mammograms? Is this the beginning of better healthcare—or the start of a Black Mirror episode? What AI gets so right… and dangerously wrong Why I'm low-key obsessed with AI (but not ready to marry it—yet) Plus, what happened when Food Heals favorite Michelle Miller and I asked ChatGPT to be our British relationship coach named Matthew 😆 We also cover: Personalized wellness: AI that knows your calendar and your cortisol The ethics, privacy questions, and yes—creepy clone voice possibilities Why the real root causes of chronic disease can't be solved by an app, no matter how smart This episode is part experiment, part education, and full entertainment! Let's talk about the good, the bad, and the "is this really happening?" of AI in our lives. Thank You to Our Sponsors!
