  • 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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Believe Your Brain is Destined to Decline? Think Again.
Q: What does brain training look like in practice?
Brain training should target specific cognitive domains (attention, memory, executive function) and be enjoyable; choose activities you like and gradually increase challenge, rather than doing generic puzzles alone.
Believe Your Brain is Destined to Decline? Think Again.
Q: How strong is the evidence for multimodal lifestyle interventions?
There are dozens of randomized controlled trials showing that combined lifestyle changes improve cognitive function and brain structure, often outperforming medications that target a single pathology.
Believe Your Brain is Destined to Decline? Think Again.
Q: What should someone do in the first place to protect their brain as they age?
Start with changing mindset and then implement a daily routine that includes regular exercise, good sleep, a brain-challenge activity, and a diet that reduces inflammation, aiming for consistent, small daily improvements.
Are Eggs as Bad for Your Cholesterol as People Think?
Q: Our first question is from a listener named Gwen from Magnolia, Texas. Does eating a lot of eggs raise cholesterol levels in our body?
Cholesterol from eggs is real, but the overall diet matters more; eggs can be part of a healthy pattern if the rest of the diet is lower in saturated fat and higher in fiber.
The Miracle and Mystery of Consciousness
Q: Is the brain the generator of consciousness or a receiver?
Pollan outlines transmission theories and the idea that the brain could be a receiver channeling consciousness, a perspective that contrasts with the common view of the brain as the source of consciousness.
