  • 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.

    They cover a wide variety of medical topics in depth and with great guest interviews. They often recommended less invasive, less expensive alternatives that work better than traditional cures. Highly, highly recommended!
