249: On today’s episode of Realfoodology, we’re rethinking how we approach healing, immune health, and the everyday products we trust — especially for our families. Courtney sits down with Carly Kremer, founder of Beekeeper’s Naturals, to explore how bee-based remedies like propolis and raw honey can help reinvent the medicine cabinet with functional, natural ingredients that actually support the body.

They also discuss why synthetic additives like dyes and corn syrup still show up in OTC meds, why Flonase might not be the best choice, and the emerging science behind nutraceuticals that work with your immune system — not against it.
