Food Isn’t Medicine Anymore — It’s Poison | Giovani Henry | Ep. 119

In this powerful episode of A Healthy Point of View, Sam Tejada sits down with Giovani Henry, former U.S. Marine, U.S. Army veteran, holistic practitioner, and founder of Faith & Roots, for a raw conversation about food, faith, culture, and healing.

Giovani shares his journey from growing up in Brooklyn on fast food, rice-heavy Caribbean meals, and school lunches that looked like prison food, to discovering plant-based living, holistic nutrition, and mineral restoration through sea moss.

This episode breaks down:

• Why ultra-processed food is fueling chronic disease
• How food can be medicine — or silent poison
• The faith-based responsibility of stewarding your body
• The truth about rice, sugar, inflammation, and gut health
• Why minority communities are targeted with fast food
• How minerals like magnesium, potassium, and iron impact heart health
• The dangers of alcohol, processed meats, and modern diets
• What “Renew Your Plate” really means
• Why Make America Healthy Again starts with food

Giovani also dives deep into sea moss, gut health, emotional eating, military nutrition, faith, discipline, and how honoring your health honors God.

This episode is a must-watch if you care about longevity, faith, holistic health, and breaking generational cycles of disease.
