  • Affronted Dental Hygienist

    Podcast Review: Dr. Kami Hoss on Oral Health

    I was disappointed by several comments made by Dr. Kami Haas during his recent podcast on oral health, particularly regarding prevention. Dr. Haas stated that he received only a few hours of education on preventing dental decay and implied that dentists and dental hygienists receive minimal training in this area.

    As a dental hygienist, I find this statement inaccurate and dismissive. Dental hygienists are preventive oral health therapists, and prevent... more

    Thank you Dr. Gupta for providing evidence and recommendations on fluoride. This is not an issue that should be politicized, and I appreciate how you handled it here.

  • Great Content

    I am a regular listener. I just listened to the James Nestor Breath episode and am so glad you featured him! I loved his book and learned so much from it. My functional medicine doctor recommended it to me. Hopefully this gets more people to read his book. I like that the podcast highlights and talks about so many different health topics. Love the call in episodes with the short answers because it’s usually something I’ve been wondering about too. Keep up the good work!

Are Showerhead Filters and LED Face Masks Worth It?
Q: Is there scientific or medical proof that LED light masks can do what they say?
LED face masks show some scientific support, particularly for red light in aiding collagen and blue light for acne treatment, but at-home devices provide more subtle effects compared to office treatments.
Are Showerhead Filters and LED Face Masks Worth It?
Q: Do shower head filters actually help? And is there any evidence that's better for your hair and skin?
Shower head filters help alleviate concerns with hard water and chlorine, which can affect hair and skin, but they are not a cure-all.
Think You’re Too Young for Colorectal Cancer? Think Again.
Q: What should people know about colorectal cancer and its early warning signs?
Colorectal cancer is increasingly common among young people; key warning signs include blood in the stool, changes in bowel habits, persistent abdominal pain, and unintended weight loss, necessitating prompt medical consultation.
The Science Behind a Broken Heart
Q: If you were to do a cardiac heart study of somebody who was saying that they're having this crushing chest pain just after some sort of significant emotional experience, would those heart studies reveal anything?
It's relatively rare, but there's this syndrome called Takotsubu syndrome that mimics acute chest pain and often follows emotional turmoil.
The Science Behind a Broken Heart
Q: Can you talk about that pain? What did it feel like?
It felt like this crushing, like something heavy on your chest.
