In this episode, we dive into the critical issue of food insecurity with Katie Hilliard, Director of Healthcare Partnerships at Homestyle Direct. Katie breaks down the complex concepts of food swamps and food deserts, explaining how these environments impact access to nutritious food and, consequently, overall health.

We explore the startling statistic that 1 in 7 Americans faces food insecurity, and discuss how this issue extends beyond mere hunger to encompass the quality and accessibility of food. Katie shares eye-opening examples from urban Detroit and rural Nevada, illustrating the stark realities of limited food access in different settings.

The conversation then turns to the health implications of food insecurity, with a focus on chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. We also delve into potential solutions, including medically tailored meal programs covered by Medicaid, and the importance of education in addressing this multifaceted problem.
