In this episode of "Healing with the Diamonds," Kay Lynne and Larry Diamond engage in a compelling conversation with Dr. Gary Fettke, a renowned orthopedic surgeon and seasonal whole-food advocate.

Their story is one of resilience, informed choices, challenging the status quo, and being role-models of the restoration of science itself to one based on the pursuit of truth in service to humanity and the planet.
