Description

In this episode, Greg Dickens and I discuss recent news on how underwear affects testicular function and how aluminium-based vaccines affect a child’s risk of chronic disease. We then dive into the subject of parental burnout - what it is, why it’s so common in Western cultures, and how we can set up our environment to reduce our own risk. Finally, we discuss whether soap affects underarm odour.
