Better (2019)

In BETTER, Jonathan Bailor, the visionary behind Wellness Engineering and a renowned New York Times Bestselling author, recounts how a personal tragedy sparked his quest to revolutionize the way we nourish our bodies, cultivate our minds, and embrace life in a manner that effectively combats diabetes and obesity - often coined as Diabesity. Through compelling conversations held at the esteemed Harvard Medical School with luminaries like Dr. David Ludwig, Dr. JoAnn Manson, Dr. Kirsten Davison, and Dr. John Ratey, alongside heartfelt anecdotes from ordinary individuals, we are confronted with the hardships and frustrations of the antiquated and inadequate "calories in, calories out" doctrine. Unmasking the deceptions that perpetuated this flawed approach, the film unveils a tried-and-tested, pragmatic, and enjoyable alternative. At its core, BETTER lays out a blueprint for enhanced well-being by unveiling groundbreaking techniques to recalibrate the body's weight "Setpoint" using straightforward, science-backed strategies that are accessible to all. By optimizing one's existing dietary habits, viewers are empowered to proactively stave off and reverse a myriad of prevalent diseases in today's society.
