That’s part of Claire Martinsen’s story.  Claire and I have crossed paths in the functional medicine world. She has lived so many different sides of health. She’s been a first responder, worked in emergency medicine, helped her family build a distribution business focused on safer, non-toxic products, and she’s now helping people explore peptides and other natural healing strategies through her company, BioBloom. Claire grew up in China, and we talked about the difference between Chinese and American family culture and the importance of community. Then we went down some fascinating rabbit holes. And I saved one of the most profound questions for the end: What’s more toxic–Chinese education or American education? Claire’s answer might surprise you.
