Why do we sometimes follow authority—or go along with the crowd—without stopping to question it?

In this episode, we explore obedience, conformity, and critical thinking through the lens of the Milgram experiment. We discuss how social pressure, expertise, and institutional authority can influence our choices, especially in health and wellness.

This is not about rejecting expertise. It’s about staying engaged: asking questions, understanding your options, and making informed decisions that reflect your values.

In the next episode of Wellness Talk, we explore the rapidly evolving world of food technology—from lab-grown meat and cell-cultivated eggs to the emergence of 3D-printed meat products.

We’ll discuss what these products are, how they are made, what they could mean for consumers, farmers, food labeling, and personal health, and why the topic is drawing growing public attention. We’ll also examine South Dakota’s new five-year moratorium on the sale, manufacturing, and distribution of cell-cultured protein, effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031.

Join us for a thoughtful conversation about transparency, choice, innovation, and the future of the food on our plates.

In this episode of Wellness Talk, we sit down with Jeff Dornik, CEO of Pickax, to explore what it takes to move from simply building an audience to creating real community online.

Jeff shares his perspective on meaningful connection, healthier digital conversations, and how social media can become more people-centered. Jeff also shares his thoughts on the future of the MAHA movement. Join us for a timely conversation about belonging, health, communication, and putting the “social” back in social media.
