Description:

The psychological impacts of President Donald Trump's mass deportation campaign are far and wide. On our Wellness Wednesday show, we hear from a local psychologist on the mental health impacts she is seeing in immigrant communities.


Then, a recently filed lawsuit alleges Costco misled shoppers about ingredients used in its popular rotisserie chickens. We hear more about what people need to know to better understand what's in their food.


Plus, last month's release of Chat GPT Health kickstarted a new era of AI chatbots as a tool for health care. We hear more about the ways artificial intelligence is changing how we get medical advice and treatment.

  • Aaron Gross, professor, University of San Diego; director of USD's The Center for Food Systems Transformation
