I worked with Dr. Kumar during his residency training at Mayo, he was great, kind and caring to everyone. He sticks out as one of the best! He does a great job explaining conditions on his podcast.
So glad I found this podcast. Dr. Kumar doesn’t want you to just mask symptoms, he wants you to understand root causes and help you truly heal. He also isn’t peddling one size fits all bio hacks like some wellness influencers out there. He is the best of both worlds - he shares a wealth of modern medical knowledge, but also empowers the listeners to take personal responsibility for their health.
I love this podcast! It’s smart and covers the science in very accessible ways. After each episode I feel empowered to make some changes in my life. Thanks, Dr. Kumar!
Just listened for the 1st time on GERD (heartburn), was a pop up on Pinterest, what a great podcast.
I read recently that people on PPI’s (I’m on pantoprazole 40 mg) are 25% more likely to have a heart attack!
Dr Kumar explains the PPI tablet effect so well, and gives you ideas what to try and how to set a 4 month plan to come off them.
I have written mine and I’m going to try, I’m 56 and I want the best chance of living well and healthy for me and my girls.
Thank you Dr Kumar
