Description: Patreon: patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: paypal.me/GMSkeptic We all know a mom who loves alternative medicine. She may call herself a natural mom, a crunchy mom, a holistic mom, etc. Why do moms, specifically, love this kind of pseudoscience? Whether it’s anti-vax, supplement multi level marketing schemes like Herbalife, Young Living, doTERRA, anti-gmo, naturopathy, reiki, homeopathy, or essential oils, mothers seem to eat it up. Here’s my take on why that is. Special thanks to my guest, ex-naturopath and science communicator Britt Marie Hermes!
