Better is a documentary film that examines the current health crisis in America, specifically diabetes and obesity, with a focus on finding a better way to live. The film is produced and directed by Jonathan Bailor, the founder of Wellness Engineering and a New York Times Bestselling author who has dedicated his life to helping people achieve better health.
The film begins by showing the personal tragedy that led Bailor to his mission. His sister was diagnosed with diabetes and he realized that traditional methods of diet and exercise were not working for her. From there, he began researching the science of nutrition and exercise and ultimately developed the Better program.
The film includes interviews with experts from Harvard Medical School, including Dr. David Ludwig, Dr. JoAnn Manson, Dr. Kirsten Davison, and Dr. John Ratey. These experts provide insight into the current state of health in America, the problems with the traditional "calories in, calories out" model of weight loss, and the proven methods for achieving better health.
In addition to the expert interviews, the film also features intimate testimonials from everyday Americans who have struggled with diabetes and obesity. These personal stories highlight the pain and struggle of trying to lose weight with ineffective methods and the emotional toll it takes on individuals and families.
The film aims to expose the lies that have led to the current health crisis in America, while providing a practical and pleasurable alternative. The Better program is based on simple, evidence-based solutions that anyone can use to optimize their diet and prevent and reverse many of today's most common diseases.
The film culminates in offering a proven path toward better living by introducing revolutionary methods to lower the body weight "Setpoint." This approach is centered around improving the quality of the food we eat, rather than just focusing on calories. Overall, Better provides a comprehensive look at the current state of health in America and offers a practical and proven solution to achieving better health.
