  • 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.

All Your GLP-1 Questions Answered (AMA with Dr Karan)

All Your GLP-1 Questions Answered (AMA with Dr Karan)

How to Fix Your Gut Health with Fibre!
Q: How much fiber do you recommend at each meal?
