The Holiday Extravaganza! (Rebroadcast)

We tend to lean on traditions during the holiday season. As they are handed down through the generations, their origins are often forgotten. Not only do traditions offer comfort and help to unify us, but many also have important health benefits.

Today we have some fun with the origins of several holiday traditions and weave in their clinical significance. Make sure to stay tuned for a special Genova version of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas!
