Patriot,
Please forgive me for sending you a long email, but it’s about a dire situation in our country.
Chronic disease is the number one cause of death and disability in America.
The stakes are incredibly high:
Like me, you probably receive 10+ emails a day asking you for money…
They all act like the sky is falling, but they don’t provide a lot of details about how their actions can make a difference.
Today, I’m breaking the rules.
Instead of sending you a short email, I’m going to lay out End Chronic Disease’s comprehensive strategy to equip individuals to take control of their health and help build healthier, stronger communities.
But first, I’d like to ask you to donate $100, $50, or even just $10 to support our mission.
Reverse America’s Chronic Disease Crisis
The good news is chronic diseases are largely preventable - and in some cases, even reversible - through dietary and lifestyle adjustments within reach.
I have personally battled chronic autoimmune issues for more than twenty years and have been able to clinically reverse a number of these through preventive health measures such as dietary and lifestyle adjustments.
Unfortunately, most people don’t realize what we need to do to mitigate or even reverse our chronic disease crisis.
Here are some of the ways End Chronic Disease (ECD) is addressing this health crisis.
Taking Ultra-Processed Foods Out of Schools
An easy win in the fight against chronic illness is identifying and addressing how ultra-processed foods intensify this crisis.
These foods, which often lack any meaningful nutritional value and are engineered to be as addictive as cigarettes, have been shown by peer-reviewed science to cause a number of chronic diseases, such as:
And yet, these foods continue to permeate our grocery shelves, our pantries, and our schools.
In fact, American children get an estimated 70% of their daily calories from ultra-processed foods, and much of this is coming from the foods they eat in schools!
ECD educated and advocated to legislators in California about this growing issue, and helped pass a historic bill that is set to phase out harmful ultra-processed foods from school lunches.

Educating Americans on Healthy Options
Recent polls indicate that Americans are seeking healthier foods, warnings about sugar, fewer food additives, and reforms that prioritize preventive health measures.
Americans are finally claiming agency over their well-being, and their daily habits are the most powerful defense against chronic disease.
We're so excited that preventive-health concepts are gaining momentum in our country!
Now it's time to turn that enthusiasm into action.
End Chronic Disease is committed to reversing chronic disease in America through science-based, prevention-focused education, advocacy, and collaboration. By driving systems change and amplifying real success stories, we empower individuals to take control of their health — and build a stronger, healthier nation.
You can help ensure that future generations benefit from policies that drive systemic change and foster a healthy, thriving society by donating to End Chronic Disease today.

Making SNAP Benefits Healthier
Ultra-processed foods and foods with added sugar are some of the most accessible foods across our country, yet they directly fuel chronic disease.
To make matters worse, many of these items can be purchased with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, which are designed to make nutrition more accessible.
However, End Chronic Disease is working with states to take action against chronic disease by removing items such as energy drinks, carbonated beverages, cookies, candy, and potato chips from SNAP eligibility, in order to better support the program's nutrition goals.
12 states have now successfully removed soda from SNAP eligibility with USDA support — a key step that will help to tackle chronic illnesses fueled by sugary drinks and a popular measure among voters.
Steps like this are great first steps for moving the needle toward better health.
ECD is advocating for reform to address this crisis directly through public policy at the state level and promoting public empowerment through media, storytelling, and education nationwide.
