  • 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.

Wake Up, Brush Teeth, Start Day
Q: So how are you determining the evidence behind the right routine for patients?
The approach is evidence-informed and patient-specific, combining decades of clinical data with ongoing research to tailor routines—fluoride use, remineralization strategies, and brushing order—based on age, risk factors, and lifestyle.
Eating Before or After Strength Training - What's Better?
Q: When is the best time to eat on days when she is doing strength training?
Don't stress too much about exact timing; aim for 20-30 grams of high-quality protein in a meal or snack and prioritize protein intake within three to four hours after training, with emphasis on post-workout protein and carbohydrates for recovery, especially as we age.
How to Tap Into Your 'Flow State'
Q: What is the practical takeaway for the average person trying to enter flow?
Focus on clear goals, immediate feedback, and maintaining an appropriate balance between challenge and skill, while cultivating anticipation and visualization to guide actions more fluidly.
How to Tap Into Your 'Flow State'
Q: Is flow more about turning the brain on or turning it off?
It's about turning on the right parts of the brain and turning off or dampening others, so that movement is guided by prediction and planning rather than reflexive reaction.
How to Tap Into Your 'Flow State'
Q: Can anybody get into this sort of state?
Yes, with practice and a mental framework that emphasizes prediction, calm under pressure, and an openness to wandering thoughts that can guide quick, adaptive decisions.
