Welcome to our very first foray into The Clean Thinkers monthly theme-based podcasts, and this one is all about May's theme: health & wellness! The episode opens with a description of each theme offered throughout the year by the program and before jumping into the theme discussion, host Mike Marcella takes a quick detour to help explain the difference between a theory and a hypothesis, a concept that is important to the rest of the episode. The heart of the discussion talks about many misconceptions we hold about what is "healthy," the value of "natural," and goes on to detail ways that we can make better decisions about our health and wellness by recognizing the place of influences and subjectivity in the choices we make for ourselves and those to whom we're responsible.
