  • Very informative

    I enjoy the podcast. It’s good to hear someone talk about health who has an actual medical degree and is a doctor compared to many other people who spread so much misinformation. It’s so important to look at the scientific evidence and the context of the studies. Thanks for debunking the myths and claims!

  • Knob

    This guy is a self indulgent knob who is basically an influencer attempting to take the moral high ground over other influencers. He should go back to checking moles.
