In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Dr. Robin Berzin, founder of Parsley Health and one of the most trusted voices in functional and longevity medicine, for a conversation that covers everything from hormones and DEXA scans to spiritual practice and the quantum field.
