Now, before we dive in today's show, I want to tell you about one of my new favorite podcasts.

It's America Dissected with Abdul El-Said. It's a new podcast from Crooked Media. Every episode of this 10-part

series explores the forces behind the headlines that shape the issues that matter to our health,

the ways we're failing science, the ways the government is failing us, and what we

can do to get it all back on track. Some of the topics that are explored on this show are

exactly what you want to hear about, the high cost of prescription drugs, the opioid epidemic,

antibiotic resistance and superbugs, the cult of wellness today. America Dissected with Abdul

Al-Said is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher,

or wherever you listen to your favorite shows, including this one. So subscribe now.
