A few weeks ago I had a bit of a soapbox moment when NPR published an article about natural immunity following some “new” data around COVID. I’ll save my sarcastic comments. Having had a nasty (non-COVID) cold the last week myself, I thought it was as good a time as any to revisit what immunity really is, how we can improve or lose it, and what it truly means to be healthy. To connect with Dr. Ale...

When is the last time you ate organ meat? Ie heart, kidneys, lungs, liver, etc? Not even 100 years ago, organs were eaten far more often than they are today.

On Feb 10th, Emerge hit 2 years, 150 episodes, and close to 75 interviews with women’s health and leadership thought leaders from all over the world.

Why do so many of us as women struggle with what I refer to as “Selfless Syndrome”?
