United Statesa month ago - Would love to hear some healthy debates
I am a patient at Dr. Cooper’s office (I don’t see Dr. Cooper herself but another practitioner) and after years of being a patient, I just now started listening to this podcast. It’s really good to affirm the path that I am on after years of disordered eating. My body is finally healing and the labs I’m now receiving our better than ever which is quite encouraging. But I must admit, I still sometimes panic and go back into old thoughts about dieting and of course right now everybody is talking a... more
Apple Podcasts4Stacie296United States2 months ago - Science is science. Great Expertise and entertainment.
Amazing podcast. Not political at all. Dr. Cooper shares her expertise, frequently discusses scientific studies, and is almost painfully careful to not advise on things she isn’t an expert on. As a medical provider, I can say her approach and discussions are spot on, and any “advice” is layered in caveats as to how someone might approach it.
Dr. Cooper is very informative and goes beyond explaining very nuanced processes in the human body. A frequent subtopic, is also how people’s bodies and ex... more

More than 50% of the country vehemently disagrees with the idea that MAHA and other administration policies are somehow anti-science. Generally great content, but often the conversations get political. Pushing a certain agenda.

Apple Podcasts2Michael HrádekUnited States7 months ago - Unnecessary turn
I find some of it interesting, though I disagree that “obesity is a symptom of an underlying metabolic disorder,” as Dr. Cooper likes to say. She ignores overeating as a cause for obesity. Her information seems anecdotal, not based on science. But the reason I will no longer listen to this podcast is that she brought politics into the discussion. Whether or not you like the current administration, it’s not to be blamed for obesity and shouldn’t have entered the conversation.
