  • Not sure how long I'll listen. Her use of the cliché "girlfriend" is insulting, frankly. We are women. Grown adult women calling their female friends "girlfriend" is juvenile. Mature women don't do this.

    Also, annual mammograms for all women over 40? No, thank you.

  • Disappointed

    I’ve really appreciated Dr. Anna and many of her podcasts, but the recent episode with Dr. Margaret Christensen was alarming. Giving a platform to anti-vaccine voices and those who support RFK — someone openly anti-vax and reckless in his attacks on our healthcare system — is deeply concerning. Yes, our healthcare system needs reform, but he is absolutely not the person to do it. I urge you to be far more careful in choosing future guests.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why You Can't Ignore Gut Health in Menopause | Cynthia Thurlow
Q: What are some aspects that I really need to dig into to improve my health?
Focus on the gut microbiome and estrogen metabolism as a foundation for hormonal balance; stool testing can reveal keystone bacteria and dysbiosis, which guides dietary and lifestyle interventions as part of a broader, individualized plan.
The truth about cancer tests | Jeffrey Gladden
Q: What started you on the path from traditional cardiology to longevity and integrative medicine?
A personal health crisis in midlife revealed that conventional approaches didn't address the root causes of fatigue, depression, and metabolic decline. By shifting to a functional, integrative model, I learned to diagnose subclinical issues and treat the body as a connected system, focusing on prevention and vitality rather than just disease management.
The link between epigenetics and disease | Fab Mancini
Q: How can someone start shifting from a disease-focused mindset to self-health in daily life?
Begin by making one better choice today than yesterday, prioritize your health daily (like a savings account), and cultivate relationships and rituals that support your well-being.
The link between epigenetics and disease | Fab Mancini
Q: What is the most surprising or disruptive truth people need to hear about self-healing today?
That managing symptoms never truly heals the body; lasting health comes from identifying and addressing root causes, and removing harmful exposures is often more impactful than adding new interventions.
What men are really thinking after intimacy | Mat Boggs
Q: How can women embrace their feminine without feeling like they're giving up that power or independence?
By obliterating the myth that femininity is weak and recognizing that femininity can be proactive and powerful.
