Ep 59 - Hormonal Contraception

In this episode, Drs Eric Trexler and Lauren Colenso-Semple begin with an extended rant about the state of science publishing & communication. From there it's a tour through the week's health headlines which include public debates about potential side effects of hormonal birth control, the "you're moving wrong" pain-and-posture fearmongering, a confused New York Post piece treating teen creatine use as a gateway drug, and a list of "parenting mistakes that shorten your kids' lives," among others.

Join us for a future episode on Mondays at 5:30 pm eastern time!
