  • Absolutely great show. Thank you.

    This cute boomer couple kinda reminds me of my parents. They are well educated on topics, have great guests, and most importantly Joe and Terry talk about common issues that everyone is or will deal with at some point in their lives. There’s to much about Covid, that’s my only issue. It’s always brief, and nothing to sweat. It affected everyone differently.

    Love the show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Show 1483: The Gut Immune Solution
Q: Dr. Bulsiewicz, could you give us a brief primer on how nutrients move from the intestines into the bloodstream and how the gut barrier controls access?
Nutrients cross via multiple routes, including channels, pores, and special transporters; the gut barrier is a single layer of cells connected by tight junction proteins that keeps bad things out while letting beneficial nutrients in, and when these junctions fail, inflammation rises as the immune system responds to what's crossing.
Show 1192: How a Scary Fungus-Candida auris-Is Threatening the World
Q: What can the average listener do to help curb the rise of drug-resistant infections?
Be aware of antibiotic use, advocate for antibiotic stewardship, choose meat raised without antibiotics when possible, and push for policy changes that prioritize public health over short-term profits.
Show 1192: How a Scary Fungus-Candida auris-Is Threatening the World
Q: Why should nursing homes be a focal point in this fight against drug-resistant infections?
Because nursing homes concentrate immunocompromised individuals with ongoing exposure to antibiotics, making them hotbeds for spread and decontamination challenges, which can then threaten broader healthcare settings.
Show 1192: How a Scary Fungus-Candida auris-Is Threatening the World
Q: Matt, the CDC got you interested in Candida auris?
Richtel explains that his interest grew from a broad portfolio of health reporting and a series of conversations that highlighted how quickly drug resistance could emerge, leading him to investigate the origins and behavior of Candida auris.
Show 1481: Flip-Flops, Fungus and Foot Pain: What Are Your Feet Trying to Tell You?
Q: Are there non-surgical options for hammer toes and bunions?
Yes, for milder cases you can try properly fitting shoes, toe spacers, padding, conservative orthotics, and possibly splints or taping; surgery is reserved for more severe or persistent deformities after evaluating the individual.
