SHOW INTRODUCTION:

If you’ve ever worried about your health or the health of your kids and how to make it better, then do we have the Sicker Fatter Poorer show for you!

Today I’ll be talking with Dr. Leonardo Trasande, internationally renowned leader in children’s environmental heath and the author of a brilliant…albeit unsettling book on endocrine disrupters and health, Sicker Fatter Poorer.

And that’s just what I want to talk with him about today, the urgent threat of hormone-disrupting chemicals to our health and future and what we can do about it.
