  • Dangerous

    The skating interviews are generally good, her assessments of other skaters self-serving, but her latest episode discussing birth control/female hormones with a naturopath “doctor” was dangerous and full of unverified information. Why not have a real physician or nurse practitioner that actually treat patients? As usual - self serving
