04/14/2024The Healthy Matters PodcastS03_E11 - Keeping Up with PacemakersThe heart is pretty amazing.

3/31/2024The Healthy Matters PodcastS03_E10 - Getting a Better Understanding of ALSALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a rare but serious condition that affects around 5 people in every 100,000, but due to its devastating effects on both the patient and the caregivers, it's something that certainly merits a deeper conversation.

3/17/2024The Healthy Matters PodcastS03_E09 - Cholesterol: The Good, The Bad and the Triglycerides...Cholesterol can be a confusing subject for many of us.

2/18/2024The Healthy Matters PodcastS03_E07 - The Bone Zone: Insights on Osteoporosis and Healthy BonesEver wonder why we shrink in old age? Is it true that astronauts lose bone mass in space?

What are some of the things tha...
2/4/2024The Healthy Matters PodcastS03_E06 - Let's Talk IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease)It's not uncommon that the terms IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) get confused. Both have to do with your guts, both have impacted the lives of many in today's society and both could probably be explained a bit more. We plan on getting to both of them, but for starters, in Episode 6 of the show, we're going to take a better look into IBD with the help of Henn...

Fentanyl addiction is somethi...

12/10/23The Healthy Matters PodcastS03_E02 - The Mighty Liver...In Greek mythology, Prometheus' punishment for stealing fire from Zeus was to be chained to a rock where every day an eagle would come and eat part of his liver (harsh!).

What happens to us when something goes wrong with it? And what can we do to take ca...
11/26/23The Healthy Matters PodcastS03_E01 - Real Talk with An Emergency Medicine DoctorThere are seemingly as many careers in medicine as there are lakes in Minnesota (and we're talking well over 10,000 of those...), but many of the most intense jobs in the field are found in the Emergency Department.

10/01/23The Healthy Matters PodcastS02_E21 - COVID-19 - It's Been a Minute...Remember COVID-19? Of course, we all do (it was a global pandemic), but what's the latest on it? It seems like it's been a bit absent from the conversation lately, especially in the media. But is it still a major public health concern?

On Episode 19, we're joined once again by Hennepin Healthcare's Dr. Jake Matlock to break down the causes and effects of heartbur...
The Healthy Matters PodcastS02_E18 - Shoulders, Elbows, Knees, and the "Funny Bone"...Tennis elbow! Golfer's elbow! Rotator cuff, trigger finger, and ACL injuries!
