Coming up on this week's episode of the doctor's pharmacy, there's very strong compelling evidence at this point that bacteria are the cause of neurodegenerative diseases.

Hey everybody, it's Dr. Mark Heimann. Now before we get started with this week's episode, I want to tell you about a company called Thrive Market. This made it so easy for me to stay healthy even with my crazy travel schedule.

In fact, I believe in them so much that I was one of their first investors over five years ago. So here's a little background.

I split my time between three different locations. Cleveland, the Berkshire's and New York. And I'm constantly traveling.

Anyone else who travels a lot knows that airport food and rest of food is horrible. It's junk. It's pretty scary out there actually.

And they carry so many different flavors like hazelnut butter, dark chocolate,
