At the start of August, the Ohio Association of Foodbanks appealed to Governor DeWine for aide with shortages in their supplies. With demand for the banks’ services increasing, but supplies dwindling, a solution is needed and soon.

Today on Wellness Wednesday, we’re looking at these food shortages and the effects on our communities. We’re also discussing the relationship between mental health and psoriasis, and potential hair loss treatment.

Guests:

Lisa Hamler-Fugitt, Executive Director, Ohio Association of Foodbanks
Dr. Larry Green, dermatologist, George Washington University School of Medicine
Maksim Plikus, Professor of Developmental and Cell Biology, UC Irvine
