Ep. 10 - Husband vs Boyfriend, Who Knows their Partner Better?

In today's world, a college degree isn't what gets you a job despite it being required, its the internships and the volunteering. Both are often unpaid and cause students to lose time and money in the sake of being successful in their careers despite having significantly low amounts of TIME and MONEY. Join us and our EMS friend Sarah to talk about how students are often mistreated in the name of making it in the career world!

Parker and I had such an amazing time interviewing Dr. Airin Avery, head coach at SheLifts Academy. We talked about everything academics, lifting, chemistry, and more!

We often think of medicine in a very Western way. We give people medication, we do surgeries, and the patients listen to the doctors. But this isn't always the case! In this episode, Parker and Emma dive into a story of a Hmong child, Lia Lee, who's parents are struggling to combine their cultural beliefs and modern, Western medicine.

Join us today as we ask our men questions to test their knowledge of what were studying (plus a little extra). This one gets a little chaotic at times so...enjoy!

Let's talk about foraging today!!! We both love the concept of foraging so much and it translates directly into our dreams to have a self-sufficient homestead lifestyle in the future. We also talk a little about how to prepare herbal remedies and tinctures :) Hope you enjoy!

Whether you believe in evolution or not, it is undeniable that human physiology is governed by feedback loops and made to adapt. Today we go into some basics of how evolution is linked to medicine, nutrition, allergies, toxins, cancer, which includes a few little tangents along the way.

We've been busy! Parker has gotten her phlebotomy license and Emma has been in Puerto Rico on spring break. It's been wild. Today we just chatted about classes, hobbies, and our career paths. Not a lot of research went into this episode because it was just chatting, but for those interested in bees like Parker mentioned or wild flowers and clover lawns like Emma mentioned (and is working on implementing at her school), check the links below. https://www.xerces.org/blog/want-to-save-bees-focus-on-habitat-not-honey-bees https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/how-to-grow-a-better-lawn-for-wildlife.html

Hey guys...I am absolutely in favor of Alternative medicine (and it is my preferred method of practice) but forming a proper argument as to why it is important is essential to making sure it continues to build validity within the scientific community. That's why today's episode is important. I'll be going into the most common reasons why people say they like and don't like alt med and determining whether those arguments are valid or not!
