About This Episode

This week, Emily and Perry explore bovine colostrum—the first milk produced after birth that’s now being marketed as a supplement for muscle growth, immunity, and gut health. Does it actually work? Who might it help? And what are the safety and ethical considerations around sourcing it from dairy cows?

Plus: Ozempic for alcohol use disorder, a hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship, and updates on a former Surgeon General candidate.
