    Really enjoy the KevinMD podcast. It’s one of the few places where people in medicine actually speak honestly about their experiences - both the good and frustrating parts.

    The guests are consistently interesting, and the conversations feel real rather than scripted. I’ve picked up a lot of useful just hearing how others are navigating their careers, burnout, and the changing healthcare landscape.

    Definitely worth a listen if you’re working in healthcare or just curious about what happens be... more

  • Poor, poor me

    I used to enjoy & look forward to a new one. Lately it has been too much “poor pitiful physicians.” Ways to make $ to have the lavish lifestyle we expect? We work soo hard? Much of your work is nothing compared to hospital nurses & EMS workers.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Insulin resistance is a survival mechanism, not a broken system
Q: What is the Randall cycle and how does it relate to the prevention of diabetes?
The guest explains that the Randall (Randle) cycle describes how cells switch between using sugar and fat for energy, and argues that insulin resistance as commonly understood is a misnomer; by managing carbohydrate intake, individuals can influence this cycle and potentially prevent diabetes.
Insulin resistance is a survival mechanism, not a broken system
Q: All right, so tell us briefly a little bit about yourself and what you do.
The guest describes his background, his interest in metabolic health, and his view that mainstream medical messaging often omits key information about how the body handles sugar and fat, which shapes his approach to insulin resistance.
How immersive travel can reshape identity and habits
Q: Can these changes be replicated at home, or is travel essential?
The guest notes that while travel accelerates identity shifts, there are concrete home practices—like awe hunts, creating meaningful goals, and using temporal landmarks—that can emulate the conditions that promote change.
How immersive travel can reshape identity and habits
Q: How do immersive trips specifically translate into identity change and behavior change?
Stacey explains that when people experience awe, novelty, and supportive peer groups in a new environment, they begin to see themselves differently, which makes it easier to adopt new, healthier behaviors that align with that expanded self-image.
Why the people funding health care startups have never treated a patient
Q: What kind of questions should physicians ask themselves to determine if physician-led investing is right for them?
Assess whether you have the time, risk tolerance, and willingness to contribute clinical insight while maintaining your day job, and plan to diversify investments to manage risk.
