  • New female researcher getting better

    The new female researcher you have doing some of the Podcasts did much better in the first part of the turmeric pros and cons episode. However, the second part of the episode was her back to her old monotone self. It is truly painful to listen to the monotone. She needs to liven it up. 😉

  • Science-based but not all true

    Science-based but use your own judgment! I’ve followed Dr Greger for 2 decades. As I’ve grown in those years, also outgrown to purely following his advice. The episode on sunscreens recommends avoiding sun exposure ALL the time. Misinformation , since we know that lack of sun increases all-cause mortality rate compared to those who get some sun exposure (just don’t get burnt!). Also in calling the lens of the eye, the cornea (“when the cornea yellows to protect the retina”) is just getting the o... more

  • Good, but with a catch

    Dr. Gregor is very knowledgeable, and believes sincerely in the content he puts out. There is a strong basis of research for all of his claims, which help educate people on healthy behaviors for improved longevity. However, there is an unmistakable bias in this podcast: everything is 100% vegan, such that meat/animal products are portrayed as evil.

    Yes, it very well may be true that a plant-based diet is healthier than one containing animal products, but it is simply misleading to assert that a... more

  • Love the content, struggle with delivery

    Thank you for this work! Top-notch content to improve daily habits whether plant-based or not. Delivery makes it hard to absorb though, due to rushed sentences and sudden stops and slowdowns. Even at 0.8x playback, some bits are too rushed to follow.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Best Diet for Optimal Thyroid Function (Q&A)
Q: Can someone with Hashimoto's safely do intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating?
If thyroid hormone replacement is properly managed, individuals with Hashimoto's can generally practice intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating, though individual responses vary and it's wise to review with a clinician and consult supporting resources in the diet and lifestyle guidance provided by the host.
The Best Diet for Optimal Thyroid Function (Q&A)
Q: Is there a connection between a healthy thyroid and gut health, particularly bowel health?
There is a bidirectional relationship where gut health can influence thyroid function through microbial balance and inflammatory pathways, and a healthy thyroid can affect gut function; focusing on prebiotics and fiber-rich plant foods supports a healthier gut microbiome that may benefit thyroid health.
The Best Diet for Optimal Thyroid Function (Q&A)
Q: Could you comment on the effect of cruciferous vegetables, both raw and cooked, on the thyroid gland?
Raw cruciferous vegetables can provide goitrogenic compounds that may interfere with iodine uptake if iodine is deficient, but normal iodine status and typical intakes mean these foods are not something to avoid; the key is ensuring adequate iodine and reasonable consumption.
Q&A with Dr. Greger 17
Q: Is it wise to buy vegan shampoo? asks Alan.
Dr. Greger acknowledges the shampoo question and emphasizes that hair care products are mostly not a major health risk, while noting limited expertise in shampoo-specific content.
