Gunnar Tjomlid is the Norwegian author of the *hopefully* soon-to-be-published-in-English book, *The Placebo Defect*. He is a well-known blogger who travels Scandinavia and Europe, giving lectures and talks about alternative medicine and the importance of thinking critically. In our interview, Gunnar provides one of the best explanations of introversion I've heard to date. He talks about why he blogs and podcasts about some of the most taboo topics around. "We really have to start looking at people as people, and as part of community, and not really that different from you and I." -Gunnar Tjomlid Check out Gunnar's website: https://tjomlid.com Follow Gunnar on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CiViX And on Twitter: https://twitter.com/civix And on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/civix/ Read Gunnar's article for the World Health Organization: https://tjomlid.com/2017/04/27/the-natural-thing-is-that-your-children-die/ And for more information about your host, visit: http://kristenhovet.com
