Transportation

Interview with Dr. Laura Sandt

The U.S. has built our transportation infrastructure around vast landscapes of 6-lane highways and parking lots. Heck you’re probably listening to this while driving! And if you happen to be stuck in traffic, perhaps it’s time to question if cars are really solving more problems than they create. This week on Health Wanted we’re putting the pedal to the metal to talk about how your whip may be impacting your wellness.

Plus, raw cheese recalls. Are car seats really that important? What’s the deal with chromium and insulin resistance? And an update on where we are with Lyme disease
