Coin Stories with Natalie Brunell

In a special episode of Coin Stories shot in Naples, FL, Natalie Brunell sits down with health and wellness thought leader Dr. Sean Baker to discuss:
How food became engineered to keep us craving and overeating
The additives and preservatives hiding in plain sight, and why some are restricted overseas in places like Europe
The new "reverse food pyramid" push and what it's really saying about nutrition guidance
Why the incentives in food and medicine often reward treating symptoms, not fixing root causes
What "eat real food" actually means in real life (and what most people get wrong)
The Bitcoin connection: how better incentives and long-term thinking could change everything
The concerns surrounding trendy drugs like Ozempic and other GLP-1s
