Buck
“There is a real-life horse whisperer and his name is Buck Brannaman. This insightful and sensitive documentary tells the story of Brannaman, a revered horse trainer, and how he overcame trauma to become one of the most compassionate and leading people in his field. You don’t have to love horses to appreciate this story but learning about Brannanman’s approach will make you a better human being.” —Nichole

What We’re Listening To

The Dhru Purohit Podcast: “How to Build Muscle and Live Longer”
“Muscle is the organ of longevity.” These words by Gabrielle Lyon, DO, are critical in how we view obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and more. In this interview, Dr. Lyon argues we are “under-muscled,” which leads to a host of health problems. This podcast (which you can also watch on Youtube) offers an entirely new way to look at some of the most widespread health issues today. This is another gem of a conversation hosted by Dhru Purohit” —Nichole

What We’re Reading

The Brockovich Report
“For several years, water has been at the forefront of my mind. How clean is my tap water? Will there be enough clean, drinkable water for us all in 10 years? Just how old is our municipal water infrastructure? This is just a sampling of the questions I obsess over. More recently, after having the honor to chat with Erin Brockovich, I’ve become even more obsessed with this critical topic. Brockovich unpacks what we need to know about our water—from policy updates to corrupt oversight—in her newsletter, The Brockovich Report. It’s a scary must-read.” —Stacey
