Episode Synopsis

PxP Listeners...
There is so much technical and medical terminology being used, along with a ton of misinformation, regarding the COVID19.  In today's podcast I break down a bunch of the scientific and medical terms to help you better understand the information you are reading and hearing through social media, news, and other sources.  I know that you want the very best for your family and your community and when armed with correct information, you can make the best decisions.  When you know better, you do better.  
It is family friendly and don't let the length scare you... it's packed full of great info.  I shared it pre-release to fact-check me and the listener said, "release this now, everyone needs to hear it." 
Be sure to check out the links below and don't hesitate to reach out to me with questions or comments.
Be the best version of you!
