We are two undergraduate students in a medical science program, passionate about all things preventative medicine. We are in much more control of our bodies and health than what has been believed, and we’re here to demonstrate that to you. Every episode we will discuss prevention of diseases, and present specific research findings to help you gain your power back. Insert cheesy but effective quote here: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of a cure”.
