TBD Fit

I have been saying for years that we treat the bark instead of the tail we are standing on. Diamond Fernandes has spent twenty seven years watching cardiology do a version of the same thing, and his correction is a...

I open almost every episode by asking for the origin story, because pain drives purpose, and Andra McHugh's is one of the clearer examples I have heard. Her third baby was essentially born with eczema. Her two year old...

I have spent the better part of a decade on this show talking about the microbiome, so it was a treat to give a full episode to the other bacterial system we carry around: the mitochondria. Sundeep Dugar has been in...
