In a recent appearance on the integrative health podcast Intelligent Medicine, ANH-USA Executive Director, Rob Verkerk, PhD joins host and ANH Board President & Medical Director, Ron Hoffman, MD, to explore what true health freedom means—and why it matters now more than ever. Together, they discuss how modern medicine has drifted away from working with nature, and how ANH-USA is fighting to restore a system grounded in ethics, transparency, and individual choice.
From the EAT-Lancet diet agenda to restrictive FDA rules that silence supplement science, Drs. Verkerk and Hoffman unpack how government and corporate interests shape what we’re allowed to know—and what we’re allowed to put in our bodies. They also highlight recent wins, like the NMN victory with the Natural Products Association, and ongoing campaigns on natural thyroid treatments, GRAS reform, hemp, and peptides access—all part of ANH’s mission to break down the artificial barrier between food and medicine.
It’s a wide-ranging conversation about reclaiming autonomy, restoring balance, and redefining health care so that nature and science can finally work together, not against each other.
