#78 The 5 Supplements You Should Stop Taking. Now.

Friday Aug 28, 2020

Neal and Daena brave a tornado to discuss five supplements that are simply doing you no good. These supplements are the antithesis of Neal’s Vital Five, and with data to show little to no efficacy, and in some cases, worsening your health, these supplements are the modern day snake oils. They also have new stats about Covid to share and a follow-up question from last week’s episode from a listener.

Friday Aug 07, 2020

Neal was a guest on The Political Pharmacist podcast, hosted by Dr. Eric Geyer to discuss the abomination that was the America’s Frontline Doctors video, and this is his portion of the episode.
