Unpretentious, honest talks. Great subjects, discussions, comments, kindness, not judgy! A very safe, interesting place to learn a lot of things you sincerely need to understand! I enjoy this so much. Recommended.

I appreciate the topics and the candor in the conversations. I appreciate they are like every day topics we look to the internet for advice, I appreciate the simplicity, for me it is an asset. I’ve shared some episodes with my students and younger loved ones. I hear the complains about it being on surface. I want to say there’s no need to change your style please, we like you! but maybe incorporate recommended resources at the end to continue further learning that topic such as books, documentaries etc. maybe the guests can suggest them and you can leave their info and website on the description. I hope this feedback was helpful.

I just listened to your podcast on secrets for a healthy brain. While I enjoyed most of it and learned some things as well, I was very disappointed in the doctor being interviewed about the brain when she talked about alcohol. For starters, alcohol has been categorized as a carcinogen by the American Cancer Association. And many health groups, including the world health organization (WHO) have classified alcohol as they’re being no safe amount to drink. Just because we’ve been drinking alcohol since the beginning of time doesn’t mean that alcohol is a good thing. This doctor even gave it a positive when she grouped it with going out with friends and enjoying a happy evening while drinking wine. The alcohol industry is everywhere and in everything and has even swayed this doctor to talk of it, as if it isn’t ethanol, a poison! Then when she spoke about cannabis and admitted that we have less knowledge on that substance, she said if we can figure out how to get out the toxic substances in it then we could use it in a good way. Alcohol is solely a toxic substance and damages every part of the body. And when she said, some people have problems with it and shouldn’t drink it, well yes that’s true, alcohol is a drug! It is a drug in everybody’s body not just those that find it problematic sooner than other people do. Anyone can find alcohol problematic, despite genetic make up because it’s a drug and it’s a poison. I was so disappointed in this doctor to have talked about something that has wrecked so many lives and that kills more people than any other drug, as if it were okay in moderation. It not only wrecks the body, it causes deaths in car accidents, and violence and domestic abuse. It wrecks relationship. How could she talk so callously about it? And regarding the brain, look at the studies — your brain shrinks on alcohol. We all know about the liver damage and increased risk of breast, cancer and throat cancer among many cancers that it adds risk to. If this doctor is willing to defend alcohol and make it OK, then she is part of the problem.

The hardest podcast to listen to, the hosts continually interject with one word statements while the guest is talking - something heard much less on other podcasts or at all. Makes it hard to listen to!
On the most recent episode there were several dozen constant interruptions like: “Okay, Wow, Sure, Right, Uh huh, Yeah, Nice, Interesting, Totally, Ahh, Yup” - on and on like nails on a chalkboard. Unfortunately going to unsubscribe.
