Natural Isn't Safe

from Dr. Terry Simpson - The Unfiltered MD · host Dr. Terry Simpson

Your teenager can buy kava at a gas station today — no warnings, no age limits. But this “natural” root has a long history, from Polynesian rituals to Captain Cook’s voyages, Chelsea Physic Garden, patent medicines, and now modern supplements. In this episode, Dr. Terry Simpson unpacks kava’s journey — and why “natural” has never meant safe. This is a public episode.
