About the series

The Daily Dose is Dr. Rob Gillio's daily short from The Force for Health® Network. Each one takes a single health idea — an awareness day, a study that landed that morning, a lesson from forty years of practice — and gets to the one thing you can actually do about it. Several of these recaps carry an editor's note where a fact needed correcting or a source needed checking; the recordings are left as recorded and the correction lives on the page.

Each episode brings practitioners, policymakers, students, and neighbors to the same table. Every recap here carries verbatim quotes from every speaker, and every quote links straight into the broadcast at the second it was spoken.
