Everyone, Dr. Axe here. Welcome to another show. Today, I've got a guest on its Dr. Michael Murray.

But you've been in this industry for a long time. I'd love to hear a couple things. What got you

into the industry? And also, here's a big one. How have you seen the industry change and evolve

this natural health industry over the past almost 40 years? Wow. Well, the first question,
