It’s perfect for people that like learning about men medicine in best parts is, where do you have to talk about the gross stuff that’s my favorite part
Apple Podcasts5B.b.b.b.vUnited States7 months ago - Consequential and Comical
Informative, funny, disarming and easy to digest. Being the ball of anxiety I am, I REALLY appreciate Laurel’s brand of expertise with a side of humor. She really breaks things down in a way that anyone can understand AND not lose their minds over. I think this pod is going to be incredibly important and we move through a new normal where our government is attempts to replace and silence public health experts.
Apple Podcasts5Audible GleamUnited States9 months ago Guests be Sus - I have been a fan of (and following) Laurel since the pre-pandi days when she was known as KingGutterBaby. She's whip smart + absolutely on it - I still believe she is all of that.
My issue is with the guests - blatently incorrect information should be edited out. The guest on the most recent episode (re: supplements + wellness), proported a specific MD to be a grifter, when that is wholly false.
I tried to contact the show to no avail. Subscribe at your own risk. :(
Podcast Addict410 months agosoverystacy- Best Podcast in the Universe
When I started listening to this podcast, I was basically a beached whale with a vape stuck in its blowhole. I always thought that “health” was doing chin-ups while my neighbor’s mom made fun of me. Now, thanks to Laurel, I just signed up for my first “10K” and I drink water instead of just hot apple cider out of a long wooden ladle. Is this the best podcast in the universe? Yes. How do I know? *does chin-up without crying*
