Multivitamins: Expensive Pee or Brain Health Insurance?

Show Notes
In this Ask Me Anything episode, Dr. Will Cole and his clinical team tackle three listener questions: whether multivitamins are worth the money (and the clinical trial data that actually supports them), what to do about 12+ fibroids when your OB is recommending a hysterectomy, and how to think about biomagnetism when you have EBV, a possible lupus/Sjogren's diagnosis, and friends pushing tirzepatide. They also cover why being a wellness purist can limit your healing, and wrap with Sip of the Summer Round 3 — including Dr. Cole's Live120 pomegranate mocktail from the Equinox Hotel.
