Creating Lasting Habits To Strengthen Immunity

This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley, Athletic Greens, and
Tushy. I don’t like to look at what I do as treating disease. I’d
rather look at it as creating health. And we have a lot of power to
do that ourselves, each and every day. This is something I
especially like to remind people of as we continue through the
pandemic—the right choices and habits can help us stay more
resilient and healthy during what feels like an uncontrollable
world health crisis.  Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I talk to
my good friend Ken Cook, as part of EWG’s CleanCon Conference. In
this conversation, Ken interviews me about establishing better
habits for human and planetary health. Ken Cook is widely
recognized as one of the environmental community’s most prominent
and influential critics of industrial agriculture and the nation’s
broken approach to protecting families and children from toxic
substances. Under Cook’s leadership, EWG has pioneered the use of
digital technologies to empower American families with easy-to-use,
science-driven tools to help reduce their exposure to potentially
harmful ingredients in food, drinking water, cosmetics, and other
household products.  This episode is brought to you by
