In today’s episode, in honor of World Diabetes Day, we’re diving deep into diabetes. Did you know that one in two people in the United States have either prediabetes or diabetes? This means that even if you don’t have diabetes, someone you love probably does. Today, we break down what diabetes is, the differences between type 1 and type 2, whether prediabetes and diabetes are reversible, and most importantly, why having diabetes should never be a source of shame. We’re joined by the two lovely ladies from the Diabetes Digital Podcast, and if you have more questions, you can find additional information on their website.

In this episode, we talk to Professor Gloria Mark about the complexities of attention and the toll of burnout. We explore how burnout differs from depression, noting that while both involve a lack of motivation and energy, burnout often stems from ongoing demands and lack of resources. Professor Mark shares insights into how systemic factors, not individual shortcomings, often drive burnout, especially in high-stress fields like healthcare. We also talk about the importance of breaks and how to best implement them throughout the day.

oday, we talk to esteemed food and public health advocate Marion Nestle about the politics of food. No, this has nothing to do with political parties and ballots; it’s about who has the power to decide what goes on your plate. While you may think you’re the one making the decisions, there’s a whole host of hidden influences shaping the food we eat. From government dietary guidelines to nutrition labels and even how supermarkets are set up, we are often the last to be involved in our food choices. Why is nutrition research often driven more by money than health? Who truly controls the U.S. dietary guidelines? How did we contribute to creating the obesity epidemic? And what do Big Food and Big Tobacco have in common? Tune in to find out.

Today, we continue our conversation with Johann Hari. Part of Johann's journey in writing The Magic Pill was to visit Japan, one of the wealthiest countries in the world with virtually no childhood obesity. His biggest questions: Why and how? From the way the Japanese educate their children about nutrition, to draconian practices in Japanese workplaces, it appears that there are solutions to our current obesogenic environment, although some measures may be shocking.

Today, we speak to Johann Hari, author of the new book The Magic Pill. The new weight loss medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy have been exploding in popularity over the past couple of years. Unlike dieting, these drugs can cause rapid weight loss with seemingly little effort from the person taking them. However, they also come with a wide array of risks that don't often get discussed. What are the implications these medications have for people with eating disorders? Why are they associated with drastic muscle mass loss? Why are some scientists warning about their affect on depression? Obesity has many risks, but so do these medications. Today, we discuss the complex calculation posed by the new weight loss medications.
