Plague Panic, Raw Milk, and Peptide Hype with Dr. Joel Bervell

Peabody Award-winning physician Dr. Joel Bervell joins Chelsea Clinton to fact-check viral claims and headlines, from plague panic to raw goat’s milk to unregulated peptides, and explains why misinformation is harder to fight than ever. He also discusses how medicine was built around the white, able-bodied male, and how that bias shows up in everything from BMI to prenatal screenings to after-visit summaries. Plus, how his favorite animated show changed his life and how he’s paying it forward.

You can follow Dr. Joel Bervell @joelbervell on TikTok, Instagram, and Youtube. His new MS Now show is called Myth or Medicine and his children’s program is called The Doctor Is In.
