What listeners will find here
What microplastics may be doing in the body — and what science still can’t prove
Microplastics and nanoplastics are the focus here, with Dr Stephanie Wright unpacking what researchers know, what they don’t, and how these particles are studied in the body. The episode moves from cells and immune effects to exposure sources, food, pregnancy, aging, and the limits of current evidence.
Why weight loss feels like a biological battle, and what GLP-1s change
Weight loss, appetite hormones, and GLP-1 medications are the focus here. Dr. Simon Cork explains why the body resists moving away from its baseline weight, how leptin and the gut-brain axis shape hunger, and why GLP-1 drugs work differently for different people.
Jamie East on leukemia, cancer myths, and the anger misinformation sparked
Leukemia is the focus here as Jamie East talks frankly about his diagnosis, symptoms, treatment, and the misinformation he ran into while searching for answers. The episode also digs into how cancer myths spread, why some symptoms get missed, and the language people use around illness.
Why visceral fat matters more than the number on the scale
Visceral fat is the hidden fat around your organs that can be harmful even in people who look slim. Dr Karan and Professor Jimmy Bell explore how it differs from subcutaneous fat, why weight alone can mislead, and what may help reduce risk.
Glyphosate fears, microbiome questions, and what the evidence can actually say
Glyphosate is the focus here, with Professor Michael Antoniou discussing what it is, how it works, and whether concerns about cancer, gut health, and soil quality match the evidence. The episode also digs into why regulators deemed it safe, why commercial formulations matter, and where human data is still lacking.
