Summary
What if the biggest factors influencing your health aren't found in a prescription pad? In this episode of BS Free MD, Drs.

Drawing from decades of analyzing health data and wellness trends, Emma shares why she believes many conversations about chronic disease, longevity, and wellness are missing the bigger picture.

Whether you're looking to improve your own health or simply enjoy challenging conventional wisdom, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on what drives long-term wellbeing.
