Dr. Phil turns his attention to a critical and often overlooked issue in “Make America Healthy Again: Inside Our Country’s Food Crisis.” This week, he tackles the complicated relationship between poverty, food insecurity, and chronic illness, exploring the devastating impact on families across America.
Two women share their personal stories, detailing their struggles with food and the resulting health consequences. One guest has battled obesity since childhood, while the other developed severe type 2 diabetes at a young age. Their experiences illustrate a larger systemic problem: the lack of access to healthy, affordable food options, particularly in low-income communities. Even more concerning is the generational impact, as both women’s children now face their own chronic health issues.
Dr. Phil, in his characteristically direct manner, will delve into the root causes of this crisis, exploring the social, economic, and systemic factors that contribute to unhealthy eating habits. He’ll offer guidance to his guests, while also challenging viewers to confront the larger societal implications of this growing epidemic.
“Dr. Phil Primetime” airs Wednesday, February 5, 2025 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Merit Street.
