Why only men?
Certainly! Author interviews diving into the latest clinical reviews offer an invaluable perspective.
very useful 👍🌹
I'm unsure why this podcast episode was published. The host spends the entirety of the episode fighting over the word racism because he thinks racism is illegal and doesn't exist anymore. That's very clearly not the case (we just had Trump as a president, BLM marches, and insane COVID-19 disparities) so maybe he's not the right guy to be hosting something related to structural racism? The guest was okay but because the host was so caught up on the racism word, they got nothing accomplished over 15 minutes and made a fool of themselves in the name of JAMA.
that was such a wonderful story. I was on my cancer article while I was listening to this episode and honestly I shocked and it got me to think carefully. Dr. Stern, deep down in my heart, I wish u the best, Do not lose your hope and always be strong.
I guess this podcast got it totally wrong. Tunnel vision.
Shockingly bad advice — “asymptomatic people don’t need to wear masks in a grocery store”. It’s been established that people shed virus for up to as much as a week before showing symptoms, if the develop them at all. This advice is doing a huge disservice, I urge you to fix this
.
such crap. no mention of the well-known and understood cause and cure of CAD - DIET AND LIFESTYLE. No surprise that OMT has limited and minimal efficacy when the engine of CAD us left running.
