Informative, funny, disarming and easy to digest. Being the ball of anxiety I am, I REALLY appreciate Laurel’s brand of expertise with a side of humor. She really breaks things down in a way that anyone can understand AND not lose their minds over. I think this pod is going to be incredibly important and we move through a new normal where our government is attempts to replace and silence public health experts.

When I started listening to this podcast, I was basically a beached whale with a vape stuck in its blowhole. I always thought that “health” was doing chin-ups while my neighbor’s mom made fun of me. Now, thanks to Laurel, I just signed up for my first “10K” and I drink water instead of just hot apple cider out of a long wooden ladle. Is this the best podcast in the universe? Yes. How do I know? *does chin-up without crying*
