The Tenpenny Files with Dr. Sina McCullough

You may think your food is being checked for safety. It isn’t. Chemicals are being cleared and added to your food without independent testing, and most people have no idea it’s happening. Dr.Sina McCullough takes you straight into that reality. In Hands Off My Food, she lays out how the system allows substances into the food supply through internal approvals that never reach the level people assume.

You’re already seeing the effects. Focus slips. Digestion changes. Weight doesn’t respond the same. Kids struggle with behavior and constant outbursts that don’t make sense. Adults deal with mood swings that get written off as stress or hormones. Gut issues show up and stay. Dr.Sina McCullough ties that back to what is coming in through food and what stays in the body longer than it should.

This conversation stays there. It looks at what is entering the body every day and how that pattern develops quietly over time. It also addresses why even careful choices don’t fully remove that exposure, including foods that appear clean.

You will hear how substances are approved through pathways that do not require the level of testing most people believe exists. You will hear how labeling laws can remain compliant while leaving out meaningful detail. You will hear how food production has moved beyond basic nutrition into areas most consumers never stop to question.

The interview shows you how the system operates. The book holds the deeper documentation and sourcing behind it. Both are necessary if you want to understand what is happening at the level most people never examine.

This matters because what you eat is not random. It is repeated exposure.
