From SnackWell to Regenerative Soil: Dr. Jeffrey Burke on AI‑Powered Medicine, Smart Supplements & the End of Comfort‑Zone Eating

Natural‑health broadcaster Dr. Jeffrey Burke has spent 45 years translating nutrition science for everyday people. In this lively conversation with Todd Vande Hei, he compares the 1980s “fat‑free” craze to today’s ultra‑processed foodscape, and explains why the next wellness revolution will merge real food, regenerative farming, and real‑time biomarkers.

What we cover:

• AI, LLMs & Tele‑Health – how chat‑based diagnostics and continuous wearables will move us from mystery symptoms to minute‑by‑minute data.
• Comfort‑Zone Eating vs. Biology of Change – the psychology behind why we raid the pantry at 8 p.m. (and the simple “make it hard” hack that breaks the cycle).
• Supplements 2.0 – from synthetic multis to plant‑based formulas, collagen for the gut, shelf‑stable probiotics, and why magnesium + vitamin D/K2 are Burke’s “non‑negotiables.”
• Regenerative Agriculture – why organic alone isn’t enough, and how healthier soil equals more nutritious kale and tastier steak.
• Stark’s Micronutrient Panel Debate – Todd and Jeff hash out whether everyone needs a multi, or if a $150 micronutrient test trumps the shotgun approach.
• The real motivators: fear, diagnostics, and seeing your health score in black‑and‑white—plus the coastal trends that eventually sweep the country.

Practical, provocative, and occasionally nostalgic (remember SnackWell’s cookies?), this episode arms you with the mindset and tools to trade guesswork for personalized action.
