Food Is Medicine Act
Update By Dr. John Robinson
I LOVE you Oklahoma! I LOVE my Sooners! You have done something that I am still trying to fully comprehend. My imagination is running wild. The fantastic Governor of Oklahoma, Kevin Stitt, just signed the “Food is Medicine Act” that is boldly stating that Food is better than the endless pill popping cycle that Big Pharma wants you in.
Starting July 1st, Oklahoma Medicaid will cover doctors prescribing actual food as medicine. Real, fresh, locally-grown food. That’s one of the big wins with this, the reimbursement prioritizes LOCALLY grown food versus industrialized agriculture, “Big Ag”. It’s beautiful, and it’s right. It’s a win for health. You could soon walk into your doctor’s office with a chronic disease like diabetes, and walk out with a prescription for locally grown produce.
Many of you know me by now, but if you don’t, my name is Dr. John Robinson, I’ve been practicing naturopathic and functional medicine for 18 years and involved in promoting wellness for over 34 years. THIS is exactly what I have been saying for decades, “Food is Medicine”, and THIS is a great day for Truth. It’s time to celebrate, take a bow Oklahoma, this move is going to lead the rest of the country towards what I am personally passionate about…about Making America Healthy Again.
