Over the past three decades, the health of Americans has taken a dramatic downturn. What was once a rarity has now become the norm, with alarming rates of obesity, diabetes, and even cancer spreading across the population. The most shocking part? It’s affecting our children at unprecedented levels. As a nation, we need to recognize that we’re not going in the right direction. This isn’t just about numbers; it’s about lives and the quality of those lives.

When I first started in the health and fitness industry 30 years ago, about 50% of Americans were overweight, and 25% were considered obese. By 2010, the statistics had worsened, with two-thirds of the population classified as overweight and one-third as obese. Fast forward to today, and an alarming three-quarters of Americans are either overweight or obese, with associated health crises like diabetes and cancer becoming increasingly common—even among children.

The trajectory is clear: we are facing a health catastrophe, and it’s spiraling out of control. The disturbing part is that these issues are preventable. The solution isn’t found in pills or quick fixes; it lies in a comprehensive lifestyle change.

If we want to see real change, it must start with each of us. Prioritize your sleep, eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, manage your stress, reduce exposure to toxins, and make time for fresh air and sunlight. These lifestyle changes are crucial—not just for adding more years to your life, but for adding more life to your years.

I highly encourage you to watch the full podcast with Calley and Casey Means on TuckerCarlson.com. It’s a wake-up call that’s long overdue. Let’s make the change today, for ourselves and for the generations to come.

The future of our nation’s health depends on the choices we make right now. The evidence is clear: we’re going in the wrong direction. But it’s not too late to turn things around—starting with the decision to live healthier lives today.
