American Vibe Check

Interview with Dr. Stephen Patrick

The Q&A

In December 2024, the Rollins School of Public Health and the opinion polling company, Gallup, partnered up to get a sense of which public health issues rank as the most important among Americans following the election. In this episode of Health Wanted, host Laurel Bristow and guest Stephen Patrick, MD, discuss the survey’s results, their personal reactions, and the path ahead.

In the Q&A, Bristow gives an update on the implications of losing USAID before answering listener questions on never having COVID, staying safe on cruises, LMNT salt packets, and NAD+ / NMN supplements set up the Sick of the Week.
