  • For all health care providers

    Just listened to you 2026 commencement speech. Awesome. I recently retired after 45 years as a critical care nurse. Not only do I think this message is valuable for physicians, but I think every nurse should hear it too. Pretty much every health care professional should. Thank you for sharing

  • Will Mocktails Reduce Your Cancer Risk?

    Interesting episode about Mocktails and cancer, but I especially enjoyed the part about silicone and plastic. It certainly peeked my interest and one to listen over and over to remember those studies you mentioned. Makes you think twice now about washing those Tupperware containers in the dishwasher, even if they do say Rubbermaid and if they are heat resistant, like the ones you get from California Pizza Kitchen.

  • Great podcast

    Glad I have begun listening to your podcast. I find it very interesting and informative. I have gone back to listen to episodes from 2025, and must commend you for not allowing the FDA commissioner to “snow” you, and thus your listeners. I’m looking forward to learning helpful hints from your latest book. Keep up the great work and maintain your principles.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hydration 101: From Caffeine to Electrolytes
Q: Is eight glasses a day still the best guidance, or should people tail hydration to body weight and activity?
Hydration should be tailored, taking into account sweat loss, activity duration, climate, and individual factors; water before, during, and after activity plus occasional electrolyte drinks for longer or more intense efforts is advised.
Can You Have Your Cake and Drink Wine, Too?
Q: Is heating honey in hot water or tea dangerous because it turns toxic?
Heating honey can form HMF, a compound that may be harmful in high amounts, but typical tea preparation dilutes it and the overall daily exposure from honey plus other foods remains low; enjoy honey in tea, while avoiding giving honey to infants under 12 months old.
Can You Have Your Cake and Drink Wine, Too?
Q: How much sugar is in a glass of wine and is it worse for you than sugar in food?
A standard five-ounce glass of dry red wine has about one gram of sugar, which is relatively small compared to many foods and drinks, but alcohol slows fat metabolism and can lead to greater fat storage and appetite, so the overall impact depends on quantity and context rather than a simple apples-to-apples comparison.
Melinda French Gates Is Taking on the Women’s Health Gap. Here’s How
Q: How will success be measured for these initiatives?
Success is measured by increased representation of women in leadership and policy roles, as well as tangible improvements in access to reproductive, maternal, and midlife health services and policies like paid family leave.
Melinda French Gates Is Taking on the Women’s Health Gap. Here’s How
Q: What specifically is going to happen with the funding and announcements?
The funding is part of a larger $600 million commitment to women's health, distributed through partnerships to ensure wraparound services, education about contraception, and a focus on menopause and midlife health.
