in Movies Could the ‘magic pill’ to the chronic disease epidemic be… food?
What if most of our modern diseases are really just symptoms of the same problem? The Magic Pill follows doctors, patients, scientists, chefs, farmers and journalists from around the globe who are combating illness through a paradigm shift in eating. And this simple change – embracing fat as our main fuel – is showing profound promise in improving the health of people, animals and the planet.
The great new movie The Magic Pill, featuring plenty of familiar low-carb faces (including me), is now available on Netflix in the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand. You can watch the trailer above.
Thanks to the film makers and participants for producing and sharing the information through this film.
I became ketogenic in May 2016 and it is absolutely the best thing I could have done for myself. I didn't realise how food obsessed I was until my sugar addiction was gone. I didn't realise just how much of a negative impact my "healthy" high carb diet was having on me until the carb cloud lifted.
I lost so much weight but fell off the wagon at the end of last year when I was moving house and gained some back. I am happily back on the wagon for over 3 months now and feeling wonderful again.
Besides the weight loss the biggest plus for me is the huge improvement in my mental health. I am so much happier, much more calm and my anxiety is entirely managed.
The dedication to the cause of the people/scientists/doctors who fight so hard to highlight the incorrect information we have been told about diet for decades have changed my life. I am eternally grateful, thank you for saving me.
I was also dealing with a horrible amount of early dementia symptoms even though I am only 48. They are almost all gone now.
The increase in energy feels amazing, my hunger is "normal" for the first time in my life and I am losing weight already.
Keto is most certainly the way to go.
I can talk to people about keto til the cows come home without making a difference. People look at me and congratulate me but say it's too hard and not for them even though for me it feels easy. Documentaries like Magic Pill explains and shows results that my words cannot convey. So while for me, it mostly reinforced what I already knew, I'm excited that I can tell others about it. A work colleague has already told me it's a game changer after watching it, whether she now acts on it is up to her.
I'm sure vegetarians and vegans can find ways to achieve the same dietary input with tofu and so on. It is just harder. This isn't an antibiotic vegetarian or vegan diet, it is just accepting the diet we evolved with.
the animal kingdom is split into carnivores, omnivores and herbivores. The latter are almost all prey for the first two. Humans are naturally omnivores. But today we can free range our meat and instead of Hunt them down and kill them with spear and clubs, we can process them pretty humanely. Provided we demand free range, humanely killed meat, then we should have no moral qualms about eating meat. The animals we eat were always part of the food chain.
