  • It’s lost its way

    I’ve now lost confidence in the academic rigour of Dr Karen. In the latest episode on supplements he tells his contributor that by switching around the supplements he takes, he’s in effect carrying out a random controlled experiment on himself! This is such a misunderstanding of the RCT process it makes the information in whole podcast questionable. I’ll look elsewhere for my information.

  • Fantastic podcast

    Clear, digestible advice. No demonising of foods which I think runs prevalent in the ‘health’ podcast world ! Doesn’t have any charlatans on.

    I really enjoy your style of delivering medical information that non medical people can understand and then take us further.

    Like the emails too.

    Good job!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Nothing Feels Fun Anymore: Dopamine, Phones & Brain Rot
Q: What is that doing to us as a society then versus now in terms of this dopamine pathway?
The guest explains that increased frequency and intensity of dopamine spikes from modern devices accelerates the depletion of dopamine resources, leading to apathy and a search for ever-greater rewards, while genuine meaningful activities require more effort to trigger dopamine release.
We STILL Don’t Understand Childbirth | Dr Jennifer Lincoln
Q: What is the current stance on vaginal seeding and its evidence base?
Vaginal seeding currently lacks robust evidence of benefit and may carry risks; patients should be given complete information and make autonomous choices, but clinicians should be cautious about endorsing it.
We STILL Don’t Understand Childbirth | Dr Jennifer Lincoln
Q: What should people do to prepare or what resources should they consider for a realistic birth picture?
Attend childbirth classes, seek reputable books and courses, and ensure resources come from recognized experts; always confirm the author's expertise and avoid material that sells an idealized version of birth.
We STILL Don’t Understand Childbirth | Dr Jennifer Lincoln
Q: How should expectant parents gauge when it's time to go to the hospital or call for help?
Trust a flexible rule like 5-1-1 as a guideline, but prioritize personal history, symptoms, and guidance from a trusted clinician; if unsure, call the care team to assess, as every pregnancy is unique.
The Secret To Reducing Arthritis in 8 Weeks...
Q: What is the current state of treatment for inflammatory arthritis and osteoarthritis, and how is lifestyle medicine changing that landscape?
The conversation frames disease-modifying pharmacologic options as evolving but with significant side effects, while highlighting that a plant-forward, high-fiber diet, along with lifestyle pillars like exercise, sleep, and stress management, can meaningfully reduce inflammation and improve joint pain, sometimes within weeks, signaling a complementary or even reducing role for medications in some patients.
