In this episode, we’re unpacking the appointment of Dr. Casey Means as the new U.S. Surgeon General and everything that’s wrong with politicizing public health.

Kristin and I get into functional medicine red flags, why “root cause” messaging can actually be dangerous, and the bizarre rise of raw milk influencers. (Spoiler: bovine tuberculosis is real, and no, we don’t want it.) We also talk about how Mother's Day made us reflect on post-trauma rituals, parenting energy levels, and... potted plants.

It’s chaotic, a little gross, and kind of philosophical. You know—classic Knock Knock, Hi!

Takeaways:

Our new Surgeon General left residency six months before finishing—and that’s just the beginning.
Raw milk is trending again. So is tuberculosis. These two things are not unrelated.
We invent “juice cleanses for your kidneys,” and no, please don’t do that.
Kristin makes the connection between surviving Will’s cardiac arrest and suddenly keeping plants alive.
And yes, we’ve reached the “bovine TB” phase of American wellness culture.
