Thanks for this really good post and reminder that the chronic illness space is going to become even more toxic. As a physician as well as someone with chronic migraine (along with a couple of less obvious chronic illnesses), I have an easier time sorting through the real information and garbage, but I know that people without my training and background can really use this kind of guidance. I'm hoping that the Senate does their "advice and consent" role and declines to move the RFK Jr. nomination through. Almost anyone would be a better choice. Again, good post!

oh wow. thank you so much! I really appreciate your pov. And yes - it is easier for those in the medical field and healthcare space to see through some of the misinfo/disinfo and I hope they'll join the ranks in fighting what's to come. It's so easy for people to be duped by so much of this because the language is incredibly convincing and people don't have the medical knowledge to apply critical thinking. Plus, so many men love the term biohacking 🤣

I recommend not listening, as his misinformation could trigger a stress response—spiking cortisol levels, activating the amygdala, and potentially impairing prefrontal cortex function. However, if you do listen, public fact-checking would be useful to rescue some of the thousands now misled into thinking ADHD is a circadian disorder
