The podcast is back and kicking off Season 3 with more myth-busting and more challenging of misinformation with OB-GYN Dr. Jen Gunter (@drjengunter). She's back on the show because the nonsense online about menopause and women's health has only heated up and not slowed down. She discusses the latest myths about hormone therapy, plus the newest hot topics: strength training and protein intake. Finally, Dr. Gunter discusses how the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement and the conspiracy theories it espouses could have an impact on us Canadians up here.

"We were taught how to get things in life, but we were never taught how to cope when we lose them." A LOT is changing in midlife. Physical changes in menopause, empty nest syndrome, career shifts, "grey" divorce, changing health and aging, in general. So let's talk about it. How can we cope with these changes in midlife andhow can we embrace our Second Act? Life coach Tammy Faulds (@innertravelcoach) takes us through the lows and the highs of the midlife transition and come out with fresh and new perspectives on the other side.

Canada's health care system is supposed to be the envy of the world yet millions do not have a primary care practitioner, emergency room visits take hours and hours and thousands die while on waiting lists for life-saving treatments and surgeries. Was it always this bad? Is it getting worse? How did we get here? What countries are doing health care right and what can we learn from them? Emergency room doctor @drshazmamithani and family physician-scientist Dr. Tara Kiran help us understand how today's health care system was created, what's working and what's really broken. Then, solutions as to how things could be made better and what we can learn from countries like Denmark and the Netherlands.
