What does the body of evidence say on measles, that scourge we thought we’d gotten rid of? Plus: do you need to drink AG1 every day for the rest of your life, and Chris explains what doctors do and don’t control when you see them at the clinic.
A Block: Measles
(0:57) How many people have measles; how measles is transmitted; how the disease progresses; complications; vaccination; treatments
B Block: AG1
(34:27) AG1 by Athletic Greens: what it contains and whether or not there’s good evidence that you need it
C Block: A Day in the Life of a Doctor
(50:13) Do doctors decide how many patients they see in a day? The answer may surprise you!
