In this Ask Me Anything episode, I sit down with my telehealth team to tackle your biggest health questions. We break down the POTS epidemic, the surprising link between ADHD and longevity, and whether semaglutide can help with alcohol cravings and addictive behaviors. We also discuss the latest research on antidepressants and cognitive decline, the controversy around RFK’s vaccine stance, and why corporate interests continue to profit off chronic disease. Plus, we dive into the hidden ways stress, gut health, and nutrition impact ADHD and explore what really needs to change in the food and medical industries. If you want real answers on functional medicine’s hottest topics, this episode is a must-listen.
