Happy Holidays need Healthier Homes
S2E5 - Happy Holidays need Healthier Homes
Description:
In this first of a two-part holiday series the Green Docs share their “Green Docs Gift Guide”, new seasonal mocktails, and ways to look ahead for a healthy, happy New Year. We also take a look back at our generation’s greatest public health emergency, the COVID-19 pandemic, in an interview with America's top public health doc, Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association. He candidly discusses what went right, what admittedly went wrong, and how we will be more prepared for whatever comes in 2024.
Plus, Nate and Bruce can’t believe what Elon Musk just said?! No, not what you’re thinking. Elon dropped a statement even more shocking than his season’s greetings to the advertisers… and he just might be right. They explore how Scandinavian parents are literally getting kids to “chill out,” and they celebrate a new company that totally sucks. In a good way. Tune in for all this and a surprise revelation about Bruce’s winter glow. Yule be glad you did.
