Ok, well…. Today’s episode is a bit unique…. The intention was to discuss the important benefits of a trace mineral called boron. It is an important mineral, make no mistake. But, as we started recording, we got bored. Turns out talking about boron is kind of boring! So, we do hit the boron highlights, but then, in typical Patti & Michael fashion, we veer off into debate and discussion. The topic became the danger of misinformation by health influencers and how to remain skeptical.

Today on The Lab Report:

• 3:10 Thirty seconds on boron
• 4:35 A dose of skepticism toward health influencers
• 7:55 Health information changing tides  
• 11:20 Methylation SNPs and reductionism
• 15:30 GLP-1 agonists and total body systems
• 21:30 Wrap up – always be curious and skeptical
