Films and Documentaries
The films and documentaries listed below have been enlightening. I happened upon some and others were recommended by physicians. I credit my husband for teaching me HOW to ask questions; to act like a private investigator. Many of these films taught me WHAT questions to ask. Many of them also extinguished some of my misconceptions and preconceived ideas about the health care and nutrition industry. Grab a Snack, Get Comfy and Enjoy!
The Game Changers
“Directed by Oscar®-winning documentary filmmaker Louie Psihoyos and executive produced by James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Lewis Hamilton, Novak Djokovic, and Chris Paul, The Game Changers tells the story of James Wilks — elite Special Forces trainer and The Ultimate Fighter winner — as he travels the world on a quest to uncover the optimal diet for human performance.
Showcasing elite athletes, special ops soldiers, visionary scientists, cultural icons, and everyday heroes, what James discovers permanently changes his understanding of food and his definition of true strength.” – The Game Changers Website

“When a young man is diagnosed with a debilitating autoimmune disease with no cure, he and his father go on a journey to find answers and hope.”
What the Health
“What the Health is the groundbreaking follow-up film from the creators of the award-winning documentary Cowspiracy. The film exposes the collusion and corruption in government and big business that is costing us trillions of healthcare dollars, and keeping us sick.
What The Health is a surprising, and at times hilarious, investigative documentary that will be an eye-opener for everyone concerned about our nation’s health and how big business influences it.”
