Biohacking with Brittany

Pediatrician and author Dr. Joel "Gator” Warsh breaks down the most heated topics in child health right now: shifting U.S. vaccine policies, genetics and “detox support,” Tylenol use in pregnancy, and why rebuilding trust requires honest, nuanced conversations with parents.
