#58 - Discerning the Lighthouse: What Does Truly Holistic OBGYN Care Look Like? (Solo-Cast)

In this solo-cast, Dr. Riley elaborates on his observations of what has gone wrong in "western" medicine over the past few years, which was an acceleration of a process put into place hundreds of years ago with the advent of "modern medicine".
