In this powerful episode of A Healthy Point of View, Sam Tejada sits down with Giovani Henry — former U.S. Marine, U.S. Army veteran, holistic practitioner, and founder of Faith & Roots — for a raw conversation about food, faith, culture, and healing.
Giovani shares his journey from growing up in Brooklyn on fast food, rice-heavy Caribbean meals, and school lunches that looked like prison food, to discovering plant-based living, holistic nutrition, and mineral restoration through sea moss.
This episode breaks down:
- Why ultra-processed food is fueling chronic disease
- How food can be medicine — or silent poison

- Why minority communities are targeted with fast food
- How minerals like magnesium, potassium, and iron impact heart health
- The dangers of alcohol, processed meats, and modern diets
- What “Renew Your Plate” really means
- Why Make America Healthy Again starts with food
Giovani also dives deep into sea moss, gut health, emotional eating, military nutrition, faith, discipline, and how honoring your health honors God.
