Why are we more susceptible to coming down with something like a cold or the flu at the turn of a season or change of humidity or temperature? And what really helps? 

Gerald Quigley joins me on the podcast this week. He’s a 50+ year pharmacist, a 40+ year herbalist, Fellow of the Naturopaths and Herbalists Association of Australia and Fellow of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society.

With a wealth of experience and having seen more than a trend or two come and go, Gerald shares the truest things that support you, as well as tackling some of the questions people often have about confusing things they learn/are trying to make sense of in health: 

Is B6 really toxic? 

Is Paracetamol truly that bad for us? 

Do I need medication for arthritis and osteopenia when my doctor or the internet says XYZ?

We discuss how to move forward towards better patient care and greater empowerment of people in our own inspiration for cultivating a healthy state.

I hope you find it as interesting a conversation as I did, 

Enjoy the show
