How the Brooklyn Bridge led to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy with Scott Sherr, MD
The Energy Blueprint Podcast
In this episode, I’m speaking with Dr. Scott Sherr, a board-certified internal medicine physician certified to practice Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe) and a specialist in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).
info_outlineIn this episode, I’m speaking with Victoria LaFont, co-host of the Influenced to Death podcast, owner of The LaFont Agency, and someone I’ve been working with for a few years now and consider a friend and trusted peer.
It might seem strange that I’m recording a two-part podcast about another podcast, but the reason is very clear in my mind: There are many highly controversial topics in health science, and many experts cherry-pick and distort the evidence.
Influenced to Death is a podcast specifically about taking on these controversial topics and trying to systematically bring greater clarity to them, in a balanced, evidence-based way. Plus, it does so in a way that’s entertaining and actually fun to listen to.
I know you’ll enjoy my conversation with Victoria, and I highly encourage you to listen to Influenced to Death, as well, to get a new perspective on some of the most controversial topics in natural health and functional medicine.
