Is Our Lifestyle Making Us Sick? A Doctor's Controversial Claim Sparks Debate

Our Lifestyle is Making Us Sick: A Look at Environmental Health and Modern Nutrition Colombia-based Dr. Guillermo R. N., a PhD in Human Nutrition, recently released a video discussing the top 10 causes of death globally. His central argument is that many deaths are preventable through lifestyle changes and a greater understanding of how our environment impacts our health. The video, released on May 24th, 2025, has already garnered significant views and shares, indicating substantial public interest. Dr. N. points out that while there are numerous institutions training medical professionals and pharmacists, there's a lack of focus on "entornology"—the study of our environment's impact on health. He argues this oversight is a critical factor in preventable illnesses. "We no longer die from diseases like yellow fever or cholera," he states, "but from diseases we cause ourselves." He illustrates this with examples of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer, all linked to lifestyle choices and environmental factors. The video also promotes Dr. N.'s certification in modern nutrition, which aims to address this gap in education. The program seems to focus on educating health coaches on a holistic approach to health, considering factors often overlooked in traditional medicine. This holistic approach could be a significant step in improving public health outcomes. While the video's claims require further investigation and validation, the discussion initiated by Dr. N. regarding environmental health is crucial. The growing popularity of the video suggests a widespread desire for a more comprehensive understanding of health and well-being beyond traditional medical approaches.
