Annoying host. He talks like he is trying to be a 20 year old dude… it’s hard to listen to even though the guests are excellent and have amazing information to share.
Update again, such an annoying host! Great guests

Canada2 months ago - (Love the podcast!) More female based research is needed
In the recent episode with Dr. Fuhrman he speaks of women in mid-life and older cutting calories down to 1300 or less, to lose weight, without mentioning the nuances of nutrition and the effects of perimenopause and menopause on the body as well as body composition and the effects of strength training and increased protein. It’s so tiring hearing male doctors talk so confidently about women’s health - women are not little men. Would be refreshing to have more experts on the show who are experts ... more

Human studies of precise timing of alcohol exposure, exact doses and fetal brain analysis are unethical. Not only are NHPs still essential, they are deeply cared for by those in the field. You chose to highlight a tragic, deeply sad ... more
