An excerpt from the Lifestyle Magazine TV interview with Dr. John McDougall and Dr. Hans Diehl. (2:30 min)
“The best approach to the chronic disease epidemic is the CHIP program. If expanded across the country, it would reduce the risk of major chronic diseases in millions of people. For the cost of a Humvee, any town could have a CHIP program of its own. For the cost of a submarine, the entire country could get a CHIP on its shoulder.
