Q And A Marathon

I give two to three lectures a week. No matter who I am talking to or what the topic is, the part I like the best is the Q and A. It’s always different and I never know what I am going to get. In this episode I answer 37 questions in a 45 minute webinar I did on behalf of Midi Health where I am the Medical Director of Community Education and Outreach. If you are looking for in-depth explanations like I often give, you won’t get that in this episode. But, if you would like more detailed information I have listed some of the questions below along with past episodes that covered the topic in more depth.
