Episode: Ep82: Brit’s Guide to Healthier Living

This is a special episode of First In Line. Instead of the usual interview, this time, Brit is answering your questions about what she thinks is new and next in the world of health. We’ll explore why Brit doesn’t have a primary care doctor (and the technology she uses instead), what she thinks is more important than diet or exercise, the latest breakthroughs in fertility (for women and men) and pregnancy, and how anyone can prioritize their mental health for a better quality of life.  — Where to find First In Line and Brit Morin: • Twitter: https://twitter.com/brit • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brit/ & https://www.instagram.com/firstinline/ • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@firstinline_pod • Website: http://firstinlinepod.com/ — Thank you to our sponsor for making this episode possible: This episode is brought to you by LMNT.
