Dr. Gabrielle Line Show

Gabrielle: I think as human beings, when we start to believe something, naturally we're going to take in information. And that's why an important part of me doing the show is interviewing people across the street and interviews people across the spectrum for their views on healthy living. You don't want to be closed-minded and pretend like you have it all figured out because this health and wellness space, you need to keep learning, keep exposing yourself to new information.
