Got a wellness question you want us to tackle on the show? We'd love to hear from you!
Submit Your Recorded QuestionThere's a staggering amount of health and wellness news and information bombarding us everywhere we look – and who's got time to parse it out, to verify it, and then to actually do the work of improving our health? We do! And unlike the influencers, we actually know how to read a medical paper.
This weekly podcast separates fact from fiction, causality from correlation, so that you can stay informed without being overwhelmed. Every episode, we cover the health news of the week, take listener questions, and do a deep dive into a buzzy and misunderstood wellness topic so that you can actually make the best decisions for your own health.
