Episode notes

Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Carolyn Pluim as we explore the complex intersection of school health policies, education, and societal responsibility. Dr. Pluim challenges the assumption that schools should be the primary site for health interventions, discussing the ethics, efficacy, and unintended consequences of current practices. From school lunches to critical health education, discover why a more thoughtful, equitable approach is needed—and how we can advocate for meaningful change. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on redefining health in schools.
