About Health News & Views for Truth Seekers
Health News & Views is a practical, no-nonsense podcast for people who know something isn’t adding up when it comes to their health—and want real answers.

Each episode breaks down everyday health topics like food ingredients, chronic disease, and wellness trends in plain language—then gives you simple, guided steps you can actually use in your daily life.
This isn’t just about awareness. It’s about action.
Because your health deserves the truth.

From Dr. Lynn Peterson
Food: The Final Frontier
The Plain Truth About Food, Chronic Disease & Health in Black & Brown Communities
What if some of the biggest influences on our health are hiding in the foods we eat every day?
In Food: The Final Frontier, Dr. Lynn Peterson takes readers beyond confusing food labels, health claims, and ingredient lists to explore how modern food became so highly processed—and what that may mean for chronic disease, everyday choices, and the health of our communities.
Available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback editions.
