The content is great. Such valuable info. But it’s so difficult to understand since one docs voice is so much louder and her mic isn’t balanced with the rest. And the other two don’t get a chance to finish their thoughts because she interrupts and talks over everyone.
These doctors are clearly passionate about GI health. This is a great podcast to get holistic information to treat GI issues.
You guys have lots of knowledge and I love learning and I want to listen, but you trample each other with your words and it makes it hard to follow and understand . Please respect each other’s turn, speak slower and give each other the space to finish before going on to the next thing. I want to listen and learn but it becomes a squabble of words and I want turn it off.
The hosts are very knowledgeable and I really want to like this podcast. But the they need to slow down. And stop talking over each other as it makes it hard to follow.
