MOVE EAT GIVE by Interrupt Hunger
More than 73% of Americans have overweight or obesity, while more than 12 % have food insecurity. America is getting heavier, sicker, and more isolated from each other every day.
Interrupt Hunger’s motto, MOVE EAT GIVE, reflects our belief that virtually every problem in America could be fixed if we took better care of ourselves and took better care of each other.
Welcome to Interrupt Hunger's MOVE EAT GIVE podcast, where we talk with experts in Exercise Is Medicine, Food Is Medicine and Food Insecurity.
And understanding that knowledge isn't always enough to help you lose weight, every other episode showcases someone who's lost at least 10% body weight to share exactly how they did it.
Interrupt Hunger is a 501c3 nonprofit, which helps you lose weight while feeding the hungry. Bring our free 12-Week Weight Loss Challenge and Donate Your Weight program to the places you live, work, and pray. We fund our mission with sales from our MOVE EAT GIVE bracelets and apparel. So please visit us at interrupthunger.org to show your support.
50 meals are donated for every item sold to the nation's largest hunger relief network. So you get to look good while feeling good.
