"I visited Dr. Shad Marvasti and other community leaders at Native Health in Phoenix, Arizona, to learn about their innovative work using healthy, locally-sourced, unprocessed foods to combat chronic disease. Native American communities experience some of the highest rates of chronic illness in the country, largely due to the prevalence of processed foods. Native Health stands as a powerful example of how food and lifestyle changes can help reverse this epidemic. This model should be replicated and become the standard of care across Indian Country."
