Wellness Wed: Dollars for Docs, Herbal Pregnancy, Fitness Roundup

11am

You’ve probably seen plenty of pharmaceutical branded swag in your doctor’s office, from pens to posters and informational booklets. What you don’t see is the compensation for meals, research and speaking engagements, which is the topic of a new ProPublica investigation. This hour we'll discuss that, take a look at why it's so hard to lose those last five pounds, and herbal prenatal care.

Guests

• Charles Ornstein, senior reporter for ProPublica
• Dawn Combs, ethnobotanist and herbalist at Mockingbird Meadows Farm, author of Conceiving Healthy Babies
• Gabriella Boston, fitness trainer and freelance fitness writer
