Extremely well spoken and such an amazing speech! It makes me think of Hippocrates quote of "let thy food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food". Being more educated about the amount/type of substances (such as food and therapeutic drugs) we put into our bodies, could serve us all as a useful tool for having a better and healthier life. Thanks Dr. Thulin!

Love this. So many times we hear that things don't have side effects, and things like essential oils are crazy popular for every ailment, but that doesn't mean we should not educate ourselves about everything we are treating ourselves and loved ones with. Great talk. Thank you.
