Love this podcast, but when will you be brave enough to discuss the childhood vaccine schedule or the COVID vaccine injuries and turbo cancer? I’d be willing to bet you already know about the harms of both, but are you willing to have a conversation about it? Calley and Casey are getting closer to talking about it. Come on, be brave. People need to know the truth.
Introversion isn’t a pathology (Sept 9-S2)

Sep 20

Gentle and strong

I was very surprised to hear Dr Carrie Jones use the word introversion as a negative change in a woman that may need to be corrected. As she proclaimed to be a very driven type A woman, introversion too often is viewed as a negative personality type by such personalities. This is a stigma based on ignorance that needs to be corrected in our society and most definitely does not need to be enforced by an outspoken advocate in the medical field. I sincerely hope Dr Jones becomes informed about introversion and addresses any biases she may hold.

Hi, I'm Dhru (like Drew), and every week, I interview the top experts in health, medicine, and mindset to provide you with in-depth, step-by-step protocols to take your health to the next level.
