The Top 5 Health Documentaries that will Change Your Life!

There are a number of health documentaries that have come out in the last decade which have shed a light on our broken food system. They show how corporations are putting their profits over our health. These health documentaries show how we have been misled in the name of greater profits. Both by the corporations and the political system that supports them. They prove that Big Food, Big Pharma, Big Agro and Big Chemical are making us Fat and Sick and our government is subsidizing the process.

This may sound crazy and like a big conspiracy theory, but truth is often stranger than fiction.  These 5 health documentaries will open your eyes to the ways in which our food system is designed to make us sick. As well as how our medical system is designed to keep us sick.

If you are trying to lose weight,  heal from disease, regain your health, or just live a healthier and happier life, then I highly recommend that you watch all of these films. Once you are done, share them with everyone you care about.  Because knowledge is power and this knowledge will save your life.

Life Changing Health Documentaries #1

Food Matters – A Health Documentary for anyone who wants to know the secret to a long, healthy and disease free life.

Health Documentaries - Food Matters: Let Food Be Thy Medicine
Pills and Chemo and expensive surgeries make a lot of money for Doctors, Hospitals, and Pharmaceutical companies, but they rarely, if ever solve the health issue long term. It’s time we rethink medicine. Prevention is the only cure. Food is Medicine. Learn how to take your health back through easy dietary changes that will save your life in this amazing health documentary.


Food Matters is one of the most powerful documentaries I have ever seen.  I truly believe that every single person should watch this film and then watch it again.  If you care at all about your health you need to see this film today.

Food Matters is all about what has gone wrong in our medical system.  It explains the power of food to heal. It also explains why our current medical system is not designed for people to get well.  On  the contrary, it is designed to be profitable. Healthy people are not profitable for the medical industry.

Hear from the experts

Food Matters features commentary from scientists, doctors, and raw food experts who have helped their patients heal from terrible diseases using nutrition rather than poisons, radiation, and knives.

This film proves how time and time again, information that can save our lives is withheld or buried.  All by companies who are making billions of dollars keeping us on the “traditional” medicine carousel.

The Price of Prescription Drugs is our Health

These  prescription medications often have side effects that are severe and require additional medications to counteract these side effects.  The Pharmaceutical Companies have convinced us that this is the price of health.  But what if there was a better way?  What if there was a cheaper and more effective way to reverse disease?  Would they tell us, even if it meant them losing billions of dollars?

Well, there is a better way, and it is cheaper and more effective.  And big surprise, Big Pharma is fighting with everything they have to bury it.  Food Matters is an eye-opening documentary that every human being should watch if they want to live a long and healthy life and stop being a guinea pig for the big Pharma profit machine.

Life Changing Health Documentaries #2

Forks over Knives – A Health Documentary for anyone who has Heart Disease or wants to avoid Heart Disease.

Health Documentaries - Forks Over Knives
It’s time to solve our diseases with our fork and our plate, not a surgeon’s scalpel and pills. Learn how with this groundbreaking heath documentary from the authors of the China Study.

Despite the fact that medical technology has grown by leaps and bounds in the last 5 decades disease in America has grown at a staggering rate.  Even though we are spending billions of dollars a year on our medical industry, we keep getting sicker.  Would you like to know why?

Forks over Knives will answer all of your questions.  Our medical Doctors spend little to no time learning about nutrition.  Our solutions for dealing with any disease are cut it out, burn it out, poison it or just learn to live with it.  Every solution is a pill for this and then three more pills to fight the side effects of the first pill.  But none of this is necessary.

If you want to get off the medication carousel, or never get on it in the first place and get back your health, start today by watching Forks over Knives.

Learn why our current menu is making us sick. Our medical industry is making us sicker. And what you can do right now, to reverse disease, and cut your risk of heart attack, stroke, cancer, and diabetes. But most importantly, be around for your family and friends and not be a burden to them as you get older.

Life Changing Health Documentaries #3

Fed Up – A Health Documentary for those who struggle with their weight or who have children or grandchildren who are overweight or obese.

Health Documentaries - Fed Up
Overweight and can’t understand why? This Health Documentary will explain why. We have been taught our whole lives to believe that poisons are food, we teach our children, at home, on TV, and in school, to eat science projects. Then when they become fat we shame them and we shame ourselves. It’s time to learn the truth with this eye-opening documentary.

Do you struggle to lose weight even though you eat “Healthy”?  Do you have children or grandchildren who are overweight or obese?  Are you frustrated because even though you do everything right your weight continues to rise?  Or worse, roller coaster?

Do you read labels and buy “Heart Healthy” and “Whole Grain” Foods? Or “Diet” foods but still continue to struggle?

If so, Fed Up is the documentary you need to watch today. Fed Up is the story of obesity in our country. It is the story of how our Government and Food Manufacturers have knowingly built a system to keep you fat, unhealthy and misinformed.

Our government is subsidizing obesity.

If you watch this film, you will learn the hidden dangers in most processed food.  This health documentary will teach you why counting calories will not help you lose weight at all.

But most importantly, you will learn that it is NOT your Fault. The deck is stacked against us.  Our children are being set up for obesity in school, just as we were. The messages are reinforced in their afternoon cartoons, and as you walk through the grocery store, or stand in line to check out.

We have all been misled and programmed to think that the products we are being sold are healthy. They are not.  You have been set up to fail.  You are not lazy. It’s not because you don’t exercise enough. It is because you have been misled.

Life Changing Health Documentaries #4

Prescription Thugs – A Health Documentary for Anyone Who has Taken Prescription Medications or Knows Anyone Who is on Prescription Medications.

Health Documentaries - Prescription Thugs - How the Pharmaceutical Industry is keeping us sick in the name of profits.
This Health Documentary will show you just how the Pharmaceutical companies are keeping us sick in the name of profits, plus how they started the Opioid epidemic knowingly and intentionally.

Have you ever watched a drug commercial and wondered whether all the side effects are worth the pill?

Today’s medications, rather than eliminating disease, are somehow increasing the prevalence of disease.

Bi-Polar Disorder used to be an incredibly rare disorder.  However, in the last 15 years, the diagnosis of Bi-Polar Disorder has increased 5000%. Would you like to know why?

Prescription Thugs will give you the answer.

We are a nation of pill poppers, convinced that the magic elixir of health can be distilled into a tiny convenient pill.

70% of Americans currently take at least one prescription medication. More than 50% of us are on more than one. And many of those people are taking as many as 5 to 10 different prescriptions.  Are you among this majority?

If you or someone you love is currently on Prescription medications you owe it to yourself to watch Prescription Thugs.  It is time for us to understand the system that is putting profit over health. Educate yourself, because the Pharmaceutical companies aren’t offering the whole story.

Pills are Poison designed to keep you sick.

Every 19 Minutes someone in America dies from medically prescribed drugs. Either by overdose, side effects or by mixing two or more prescriptions that cause a negative reaction.  Yet Pharmaceutical Companies have incredibly lenient standards for getting their drugs on the market.

Did you know that the only requirement to get a drug approved by the FDA is to show 2 positive studies?  Yup. A pharmaceutical company only needs to show 2 studies showing that their drug works better than a placebo.  The drug does not have to work better than other drugs on the market. Only better than a Placebo.

Even more alarming, they can throw out any study that does not show a positive result. They can just present the two studies that show a positive result.  This means that if they run 50 studies, and 48 of those studies show that this drug kills people, but 2 show that it is slightly more helpful than a sugar pill, that pill will get a stamp of approval from the FDA.

So ask yourself, is that pill really safe?  Or is it just profitable? Arm yourself with the truth by watching Prescription Thugs today, the life you save may be your own.

My Top Five Raw Food Books for Beginners

As a beginner to Raw Foods it is important to have a few references to both keep you motivated and to give you new recipes to try so you don’t get bored or stuck in a rut.  So I am providing this list of the Top Five Raw Food Books for Beginners to help you get started.  Each of these books I have personally read and used as I started out in my Raw Food Journey. Each of these books offers something different, some are predominantly recipe based and other are more about the science and results behind a Raw Foods Diet.  I hope you find these books as helpful as I did on your own personal Raw Foods journey.  So here are my personal recommendations:

#1 Twelve Steps to Raw Foods

The first book I recommend is  12 Steps to Raw Foods - Top Five Raw Food Books for Beginners12 Steps to Raw Foods by Victoria Boutenko.  Victoria is probably one of the most well known and respected raw food advocates in the raw food community.  She has authored several books on the subjects of raw food and green smoothie nutrition.
12 Steps to Raw Foods - Top Five Raw Food Books for Beginners12 Steps to Raw Foods – How to End your dependency on Cooked Food is not only an excellent primer on the merits of the Raw food diet from an expert in her field.  It is also a highly motivational book.  One which I continue to reread any time I am feeling a little weak or just need a mental boost.

In this book, Victoria talks about her own personal journey from debilitating illness to excellent health.  Victoria is a mother of three and in the early nineties, her husband was deathly ill, her young son had just been diagnosed with Juvenile Type 1 Diabetes, her daughter had severe Asthma and Allergies and Victoria herself had just been diagnosed with a heart arrhythmia, the same disease which killed her father.  The doctors that she spoke with offered her no answers and so Victoria went on a crusade to find the answers and save her family.

In 12 Steps to Raw Foods - Top Five Raw Food Books for Beginners12 Steps to Raw Foods – How to End your dependency on Cooked Food, Victoria shares those answers in a warm and helpful way.  There is no preaching and Victoria’s writing can really take the stress out of the health problems you are facing.  So for this reason 12 Steps to Raw Foods is my number one of the Top Five Raw Food Books for Beginners.

#2 Green for Life

The second book on my Top Five Raw Food Books for beginners list is also by Victoria Boutenko.   Green For Life is the book that launched the Green Smoothie revolution that has become so popular today.

In Green For Life, Victoria documents the many and varied health benefits that come from eating abundant leafy green vegetables.  She documents the science behind this current fad and explains how to take advantage of this often undervalued food group.

Green For Life explains not only the why but the how of Green Smoothie Nutrition with easy recipes, stories from those who have regained their health and even a scientific study. Green For Life is written in Victoria’s easy to read and comforting style which makes it another great book for beginners in raw food nutrition.

The comforting style combined with strong scientific evidence and testimonials make this an easy read with practical advice that any beginner can use right away.  So Green For Life is number two on my Top Five Raw Food Books for Beginners list.

#3 Ani’s Raw Food Detox

The biggest hurdle for most beginners to Raw food is the first few weeks of grocery shopping and meal planning.
Ani's Raw Food Detox - Top Five Raw Food Books for Beginners

#4 Easy, Affordable Raw

Another hurdle that many people deal with when first starting out on a raw food diet is budget.  It is easy to get overwhelmed with all of the decadent recipes and expensive ingredients.  And to feel like you just can’t afford to eat raw.  So the next book on my Top Five Raw Food Books for Beginners list is Easy, Affordable Raw – How to Go Raw on $10 a Day, because everyone should be able to afford nutritious food.

Easy Affordable Raw - Top Five Raw Food Books for BeginnersEasy, Affordable Raw – How to Go Raw on $10 a Day shows you how you can eat amazing nutrition packed raw food all day long for less then the cost of 2 fast food meals a day.
