What was your motivation for joining the Urban Monk Academy and attending the retreat?
I wanted to be in the room with Pedram. I have been a member of the Urban Monk Academy for a long time. I know that he is science-based. If he says something, he's got evidence and he knows it. I also wanted to talk to him about Upstream, a program talking about the microbiome. — Laura Bierwagen

Is the online Zoom format effective for medical consultations?
