  • Informative podcast!

    This podcast is super informative. The both do a great job explaining the basic science regarding their topics. They’re also engaging to listen to and light-hearted.

    I have misophonia so sometimes the podcast is unlistenable to me because a lot of wet mouth sounds, tongue clicks, and heavy breaths are left in the sound edit. I understand this sort of thing doesn’t bother most people, and they maybe edit it themselves — but if by chance they’re reading this, another pass of sound editing would b... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ian Rafalko Joins the Show! (Son of Dr. Eric Berg, Scientologist Wellness Grifter) [SAMPLE]
Q: So if I can, how did the Berg family find Scientology originally?
Ian explains that Scientology came into the family through his mother's initial exposure, followed by his father's deeper involvement after moving to the DC area, and that early stages felt like a self-help movement before it became more controlling.
Food Combining Diets
Q: Jen, is food combining worth it? Should I do this?
Of course not, Matt. There is absolutely no science to suggest that certain foods shouldn't be eaten together.
Vitamin D Truths (and Truthers)
Q: What does the research say about vitamin D supplementation and infection risk?
While observational data shows low vitamin D correlates with worse COVID outcomes, randomized controlled trials have found no major difference in health-related outcomes with supplementation, highlighting the need for more controlled studies.
Vitamin D Truths (and Truthers)
Q: What is the relationship between vitamin D and depression?
Observational studies suggest a correlation between higher vitamin D levels and lower depression symptoms, but randomized controlled trials do not support the idea that vitamin D supplementation cures depression.
Let’s Talk About Microplastics... (with Dr. Katie Pelch)
Q: What are the main sources of microplastics that people encounter?
Microplastics can be found in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and even absorb through our skin, with significant sources being textiles and packaged foods.
