Wellness Unmasked Weekly Rundown: Dr. Casey Means Hearing Breakdown: Can She Be America’s Doctor?

What if the biggest threat to your health isn’t just what you eat—but who controls it?

On this episode of Wellness Unmasked, Dr. Nicole Saphier sits down with filmmakers Patrick and Ashley Sullivan, creators of the new documentary Breaking Big Food: How the American Food System Went Rotten—and How It’s Being Revived.

After a personal health scare, the Sullivans set out to uncover the truth behind America’s food industry—and what they found is shocking. From Big Tobacco quietly acquiring major food companies in the 1980s and 90s, to the explosion of ultra-processed foods and thousands of “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) chemicals in our food supply, this conversation pulls back the curtain on how we got here.

They also break down:


The hidden history of Big Tobacco’s influence on Big Food


Why U.S. food standards differ dramatically from Europe and Canada


The rise of seed oils, additives, and ultra-processed ingredients


The truth about glyphosate, pesticides, and regulatory loopholes


Surprising sources of toxins—including coffee and everyday “health foods”


Simple, practical tips to avoid harmful ingredients at the grocery store


How local farming, consumer choices, and grassroots movements are driving change

Plus, the inspiring story behind their clean food initiative and how communities are taking health back into their own hands—one backyard, one market, and one purchase at a time.

📺 Breaking Big Food is now streaming on Apple TV and Amazon Prime.

If you care about what’s really in your food—and what you can do about it—this is a must-listen episode.
