In this episode, I had the pleasure of having a friend and microbiome researcher Bern Monari on to educate us on the microbiome and the research therein. I hope this podcast ends up interesting, because I certainly found it to be, and Bern adds quite a bit to my knowledge of the matter. Enjoy!

In this episode, I had the pleasure of having a fellow researcher and class mate David Rach on the podcast to discuss his experience as a participant in a CoVID-19 vaccine trial. However, not only that, he is getting his PhD in Microbiology and Immunology, so he was able to discuss some of the science behind vaccine development, as well as the preliminary results of the trial he was in.

In this episode, I decided to dedicate some time to discussing the brand new reports that a woman suffering from sickle cell anemia has been effectively cured of the disease that would have continued to ruin her life moving forward. The cure wasn't a drug, but the first time use of genetic engineering to cure the disease. Pretty brilliant work on all involved.

In this episode, I discuss two topics. First, we go into how to change the intensity variable when building an effective at home workout program for muscle growth, muscle maintenance, and muscle tone. Secondly, we dive into a bit of cancer and how cancer can "hide" or protect itself against chemotherapies - how does it return? 2:48: Workout at Home 21:35: Cancer & Chemotherapy

Hey everyone, in this episode, I'll be going into a bit of history on how the United States handled their medical practices in the 1800s by comparison to Europe. I talk about the impact Johns Hopkins University had on the entire medical field in the United States, and then I discuss a bit on zoonotic viruses (viruses that jump from animals to humans).

In this episode, we'll be going into a bit of research on pain perception mediated by a particular area of the brain that wasn't pegged as one related to pain. Beyond that, do spices on food reduce inflammation and cardiovascular disease? If so, which ones?

In this episode, I go into two reviews discussing some of the data surrounding being overweight or obese and how much it increases risk of serious issues when dealing with CoVID-19. Also, why are fit people struggling with this infection, and what are some of the presented reasons/mechanisms?

In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of having yet another smart scientist on the podcast. Alex Soare is on to discuss a bit of basic immunology and microbiology for the first half of the podcast, then we dive into fungi and her expertise on mucormycosis. I hope this proves as informative as I found it (considering I knew nothing about fungi).

In this episode, I'll (attempt) walk us through two papers that have tried to answer how our muscles convert mechanical force/stimulus into a molecular signal that produce change. It's definitely not concrete and you will have to bear with me, but we're slowly getting to an answer.

In this episode, we dive into the big two drug players on the front against CoVID-19 - hydroxycloroquine and remdesivir. Do they work? If so, how do they work?

In this episode, I dive into a bit of less covered information related to coronavirus CoVID-19 related to the variety of organ systems it affects and how it might be exerting it's effect. I also give some quick information on how to effectively improve your mask that you produce for yourself.

Hi everyone, this is a really special episode, because I had the absolute pleasure of having a super smart friend of mine come on the podcast to discuss a topic he's quite passionate about and on which knows a wealth of information. In this podcast, I discuss the topic of "Transhumanism" with Garrett Bunce. Transhumanism is moored in the idea of traveling consciousness beyond our current existence - can we "upload" our consciousness to a machine and continue our existence? If so, what hurdles are in the way and where are we in the process so far? Garrett takes it away - I hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we will dedicate the entire podcast talking about the coronavirus (COVID-19) - how long until you show symptoms of the infection? Is a standard 14 day quarantine efficient? And, if you're stuck at home without workout equipment, how do you still make fitness progress with in resistance training?

In this episode, I cover a broad range of topics from pregnancy length and its affect on children's genetics, as well as a new technology that makes printing skin a new therapy possible. Finally, I answer a question/concern a commenter had over why scientists waste their time with "obvious questions". 1:48 - Pregnancy Merid, S.K., Novoloaca, A., Sharp, G.C. et al.

In this episode, I discuss a paper looking at high protein diets and their impact on atherosclerosis, as well as air pollution and its correlation with heart attacks, and the final half is me ranting on how selective people get to fit their biases.
