Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Should the Military Screen Testosterone Levels? An Endocrinologist Explains
Q: So testosterone screening, can that actually impact your physical performance?
There can be physical performance benefits for individuals with true hypogonadism, but broad screening of asymptomatic people lacks solid evidence of better outcomes and is not generally recommended; instead, targeted evaluation based on symptoms and risk factors is advised.
How she lost 100 lbs and kept it off, without medication
Q: So in total, you lost around 100 pounds?
Leah explains that while she didn't weigh herself consistently, she estimates the loss to be well over 100 pounds, likely around 275 pounds at the start, with substantial, sustained progress during the long-term journey.
South Carolina doctors answer questions about MMR vaccine amid measles outbreak
Q: Can MMR along with other vaccines overwhelm a child's immune system?
No. Vaccines are designed to provoke a measured immune response to build protection; the immune system is capable of handling multiple vaccines, and overwhelming it would be far less likely than the risk posed by the disease itself.
South Carolina doctors answer questions about MMR vaccine amid measles outbreak
Q: Why aren't there more double-blind placebo studies on vaccines?
There are many double-blind studies when a new vaccine is introduced, but after existing vaccines are well established, it is considered unethical to withhold a proven effective treatment by using a placebo. Trials compare new formulations against current standard vaccines to assess improvements.
Measles: Unvaccinated vs. vaccinated
Q: How did Emmy Herman's family describe the impact of measles before vaccines existed?
Emmy's family recounted a severe measles case that led to encephalitis and a prolonged hospital course, illustrating the serious risks of measles before widespread vaccination.
