We are bringing some serious conservative star power this week, as we welcome this week's guest and former United States Senator Dr. Bill Frist (R-TN). Dr. Frist is the former GOP Senate Majority Leader and was a nationally-acclaimed heart and lung transplant surgeon before serving in the U.S. Senate. 

The current Chair of the Global Board of The Nature Conservancy, Dr. Frist is now engaged in the public health crisis as it relates to climate change. He is highlighting the increasing threat of vector-borne diseases like malaria and Lyme disease due to climate change and a personal connection as well as emphasizing the need for the public to consider how climate change impacts various aspects of human health, including respiratory diseases, heart conditions, and mental well-being.
