Science, politics, and pregnancy — where do we draw the line? After the Trump / RFK press conference asserted a link between Tylenol use in pregnancy and neurodevelopmental disorders, we pulled up the data, challenged assumptions, and asked: Is this a needed wakeup call — or overreach?

In this episode of the Appalachian Wellness Connection, Dr. Kevin Britt and Dr. Micheal Bryan explore some of the most common nutrient deficiencies they see in practice—and why simply taking a multivitamin isn’t enough. From electrolytes like magnesium and potassium, to fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K, and key minerals like calcium, iron, zinc, and copper, they break down how these nutrients impact energy, hormones, immunity, and brain health. You’ll learn the real-world signs of deficiency, why lab numbers don’t always tell the full story, and the most bioavailable food sources to restore balance naturally.
