    Are We Getting Health Advice Wrong? Vaccines, GLP-1s & Peptides | EP 159

    Are vaccines, GLP-1 weight loss drugs, artificial sweeteners, supplements, and peptides actually as safe and effective as we've been told? In this episode of the Real Health Podcast, Brandi and Dr. Amir Rashidian discuss controversial health topics, medical research, FDA regulation, nutrition, and the science behind some of today's biggest health debates. The conversation covers childhood vaccine recommendations, GLP-1 drugs such as Mounjaro and Wegovy, reported adverse reactions, artificial sweeteners and brain health, dietary supplements, FDA regulation, food additives, peptides such as BPC-157 and TB-500, and whether newer approaches to health deserve more research.
