If someone's working 14-hour shifts, exhausted, and on the move, of course it’s easier to grab two cheeseburgers than prepare a meal you can’t afford. For many families, this isn’t about laziness or lack of willpower. It’s about cost, convenience, and education. And it’s fueling a nationwide cycle of obesity, diabetes, and insulin resistance. In this episode, we sat down with dietitian Derrick Walker to explore why healthy eating has become a privilege (and what it will take to break that cycle!)

As physicians, we all know by now that fast food isn’t about pleasure in most cases - it’s about survival. People turn to it not because it feels good, but because it helps them cope with stress, exhaustion, and lack of support, or simply because they can't afford anything better. The problem is that healthcare rarely addresses the bigger picture. Mental health, social environments, and access to dietitians are almost never included in the care plan, often because insurance won’t cover them. In this episode, we sat down with dietitian Derrick Walker to unpack why true prevention requires more than just medicine. Go to the Life of Flow podcast channel and watch the full episode #83.

“It’s expensive to eat healthy.” I hear this phrase all the time from my patients - and honestly, I believe there’s truth to it. For many families, it really is more costly to buy fresh, whole foods than it is to grab something processed and cheap. And when you’re working long hours and trying to stretch every dollar, the math just feels impossible. It's that simple. What’s frustrating is that the food industry has leaned into this reality, reinforcing the idea that real food is out of reach and making convenience the default. So how do we start changing that narrative? How do we make eating well accessible not just for those who can afford it, but for everyone? That’s what this week’s Life of Flow conversation with dietitian Derrick Walker is all about. Go to the Life of Flow podcast channel and watch the full episode #83.

Men in America are facing a health crisis: heart disease is cutting lives short in their 50s and 60s. Yet, when it comes to nutrition and prevention, men are rarely the focus - the conversation almost never targets them.
