  Peppermint & Ginger Tea: What the Science Actually Says

  Sep 30, 202611 min

  If you've ever been handed peppermint tea for your stomach, or told ginger tea will fix your nausea, listen up: the benefits depend on what form and dose you're getting. This episode breaks down the evidence — peppermint oil capsules (not tea) show benefit for adult IBS, while ginger capsules at about 1 g/day have the strongest data for pregnancy-related nausea. Tea offers comfort and hydration but its dose and delivery are different from supplements, and peppermint tea can worsen reflux. Learn practical takeaways for matching claims to form, knowing when to be cautious, and talking with your provider.

  ‘Tis the Season to Spice Up Your GI Tract

  Sep 13, 20267 min

  Host Nurse KC explores how real pumpkin — not just pumpkin spice — contributes fiber, water, and potassium to support digestion and hydration. Learn why canned pumpkin counts, how food water helps hydration, and why your latte’s effects may come from coffee or milk rather than pumpkin alone. Practical tips include adding pumpkin to oatmeal, smoothies, or soup, checking labels for plain pumpkin, and balancing fiber with fluids to avoid bloating.

  Hangovers Explained: It's Not Just Dehydration

  Sep 1, 202619 min

  This episode breaks down what causes hangovers beyond dehydration — how alcohol is metabolized (ethanol → acetaldehyde → acetate) and how it disrupts fluid balance, sleep, the gut, inflammation, and the nervous system. Dr. Beth and Nurse KC test common hangover rules (beer before liquor, clear vs dark spirits, carbonation, sugar, shots) and explain which effects are physiological and which are due to drinking pattern, congeners, or mixers. Practical takeaways: total alcohol and drinking speed drive hangover risk, hydration and food help with recovery, and there is no instant cure — rest and time are key.

  GPMD Podcast- The Modern Drink Aisle: A Mix of Pleasure, Function & Hype!

  Aug 19, 202620 min

  Walk the modern drink aisle with Dr. Beth and Nurse KC to learn how to tell meaningful hydration from marketing. Understand that not every beverage is a hydration solution: ask what job the drink should perform, which ingredients do that job, and whether the doses and evidence support the claim. Pleasure and palatability matter, but function requires appropriate formulation. Consider context—everyday fluid, sports, illness, or beauty—and check whether a product is necessary or simply optional. When in doubt, match the drink to the situation and consult a clinician for medical concerns.

  Are GLP‑1s Dehydrating You? The Truth Behind the Buzz

  Aug 5, 202630 min

  This episode explains how GLP‑1 medications can affect hydration by reducing thirst and meal‑linked drinking, altering stomach tolerance, or causing vomiting and diarrhea that directly remove fluids and electrolytes. Dr. Beth breaks down the mechanisms and gives a three‑level plan: water as the base for normal days, electrolytes when losses or heavy sweating justify them, and properly formulated oral rehydration solutions for meaningful vomiting or diarrhea. The episode also lists yellow flags (darker urine, less urination, persistent nausea, dizziness) and red flags (repeated vomiting/diarrhea, fainting, confusion, very little urine, severe abdominal pain) that require contacting your prescriber.
