Stall Tactics and Scare Tactics

Abdul and Katelyn discuss the latest in public health news, including:

  • Why the cancellation of a key federal health meeting could spell trouble for the future of preventative care in America
  • The Trump Administration's latest move to intimidate doctors
  • Medicare’s plan to use AI to help make decisions on prior authorizations
  • Moderna’s new Covid vaccine, and why it’s only authorized for kids at high risk

Then Abdul talks to fitness influencer Dr. Mike Israetel about his approach to explaining evidence-based science on bodybuilding, and how to build trust with an audience prone to fringe theories.
