41: The Problem with America (Hear Me Out)

from Lowering the Barrier · host Alex Thieme

In this episode, we dive into the significant health disparities between the U.S. and Europe - covering topics like universal healthcare, food deserts, public transportation and more. We bridge those slightly controversial topics to health-related outcomes like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Health is political - and policy can heavily influence health.Timestamps:00:00 Intro7:00 City layouts14:50 Healthcare23:00 Food deserts35:00 Work culture45:40 Food environmentMY LINKSWebsite: ⁠https://www.alexthiemefitness.com/⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/alexthiemefitness/⁠TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@alexthiemefitness⁠Join my email list: ⁠https://www.alexthiemefitness.com/email⁠If you loved this episode, please follow/subscribe and give a 5 star review!
