Description

In this episode of Health Wanted, host Laurel Bristow takes on the often-taboo topic of death and the difficult discussion of what to do with our own bodies when we go. And she interviews filmmakers Barry Koch and Jason Zamer about their documentary “A Butterfly Has Been Released,” exploring how a lifetime spent near death can create a more peaceful view of dying.

Plus, Laurel answers questions about the safety of gel nail polish, whether it’s bad to hold in a sneeze, deceptive drug ads, food recalls, and more!

For a full rundown on all the information shared in today's episode, take a look at the show notes.
