147: Is Your Food Making You Sick? With Dr Michelle Perro

Dr. Michelle Perro, MD, is a veteran pediatrician, having been in clinical practice for 37 years. A little over a decade ago, Dr. Perro’s personal journey led her to expand her focus to include pesticide and health advocacy. She’s since become a fierce advocate concerning the harmful role of GMO ‘food’ and pesticides on our health — and particularly their enormous impact on our kids.
