On this episode of the Alix Turoff Nutrition podcast, Alix sits down with Sarah Casteel. Sarah is a second year law student at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.


Show Notes:

She has taken a strong interest in educating her peers about the dangers of multilevel marketing, and hopes to continue that work in the legal arena in her future career. A particular interest of Sarah’s is in the educational efforts to protect vulnerable people — especially women — from predatory MLM diet programs that can be physically and psychologically dangerous and harmful in many ways. She also hopes to give a voice to those who have been hurt or are currently being hurt by these programs.
