Well organized, detailed, and the charts were easy to read and understand.

by Victoria on March 30, 2025

I'm not sure if it was just the transcript, but the wording of a good portion of this was not great. Sentences like "Addressing the melatonin question, it's acknowledged that this is a topic to be discussed" don't mean much. You could just say, "Yeah, we'll talk about melatonin later." I felt I had to wade through a lot of weird sentences and figure out what they were saying, only to find that they could have been simplified and been much clearer.
