Why does my insurance company sound like a MAHA influencer?
If you'd told me five years ago that the health insurance industry would start sounding like it was auditioning for a wellness podcast, I wouldn't have believed you. But why would health insurance companies suddenly start speaking like a MAHA influencer? Is this a genuine pivot toward prevention and root-cause medicine? Is it a savvy political survival strategy?

Why can't they ever admit to being wrong?
There is a widespread human tendency to resist admitting uncertainty, reject the possibility of error, and deflect critical feedback on one's beliefs and ideas. But if we need to accept that we don't know or that we've made a mistake to learn, why do some people resist and what does that say about how the human brain work? Well, let's talk about that...

Does listening to the book mean I read the book?
Have you ever set a reading goal only to realize that listening to the audiobook on your commute was a much easier, just to have your friends tell you, “listening is not the same as reading.” Have you wanted to encourage your kids to be better readers or develop the skills to be a critical reader? Only to have them succumb to the draw of the tablet or device over the book. Does it really matter how we get our book? Well, let's talk about that...

Are peptides supplements? The problem with reclassifying peptides to fall under DSHEA
There is a current political push to reclassify a growing number of potential therapeutics from being a potential drug to being a supplement. But could moving synthetic peptides under DSHEA's dietary supplement framework be a serious public health mistake? Well, let's talk about that...

The problem with oversimplification... myths of homeostasis
We have discussed already issues of oversimplification leading to misinformation being a foundation of much of the dietary advice that we encounter on a daily basis. But what about another bit of oversimplification that can have a fundamental impact on how we talk about how our body works and what it means to be healthy. Well, let's talk about that...

What is the problem with the "maxxing" culture?
Social media has fundamentally reshaped how individuals conceptualize health, identity, and self-improvement. Recently, there has been a movement labeled as "maxxing" that pushes the notion of what is healthy and what behaviors should be used to achieve health. As with many fads related to health we have mixture of pseudoscience and logical fallacies pushing a health narrative, but what is the impact of the emerging “maxxing” trends across social media platforms on our health?

Is there any truth to learning styles?
We've all heard that we learn best if taught with our preferred learning style, but does this idea match what you know about how the brain works and how we learn? Well, let's talk about that...

It is more than subtle teasing or side comments... the dangers of having an "Almond" parent
We see social media stories, the memes and hear the shorthand of "Almond." A label that specifies the lifestyle. One rooted in a mom's focus on diets of Caloric restriction, obsessive "clean eating," the other founded on a dad's obsession with biohacking, exercising to the max, and eating to ensure correct "macros." LIfestyles that apply the facade of trying to help kids be "healthier," all while projecting their own insecurities about their bodies and their body image onto their children. While the term began as a meme, actions that are housed under "just teasing" it has evolved beyond the tasteless humor to belie a systemic issue of misinformation, parental bias, and the intergenerational transmission of disordered eating across generations. The "Almond" parenting, what is it and why we should be concerned. Well, let's talk about that...
