Wellness: Fact vs. Fiction

Welcome to Wellness: Fact vs. Fiction with cardiologist Dr. Danielle Belardo, a podcast dedicated to debunking wellness trends, exploring fact-based medicine, and busting any headline that’s more “hype” than happening. Each week, Dr. Belardo will interview top experts in a variety of fields including women’s health, dermatology, exercise science, gastroenterology, mental health, and—her personal favorite—nutrition science. She will be addressing common myths that, even as a preventative cardiologist, she once fell victim to, and sharing whether the latest tips from Goop, Rogan, or other so-called experts are indeed facts or just pure fiction. Dr. Belardo’s mission is to cut through the noise and help you to stop wasting your time and money on anything that doesn’t actually bring you the health and happiness we all deserve. This is the podcast where scientific debates and discussions are fact-based and nonsense pseudoscience can take a hike. Wellness has been unwell, so let’s change it! 

Be sure to rate, review, follow and comment about what not-so wellness trend you would like to hear debunked. Follow Dr. Danielle Belardo @daniellebelardomd and the podcast @wellnessfactvsfiction.

The Hormone Psychiatrist

Understand yourself a little deeper. Understand your body a little better. And get a whole lot clearer about what actually matters.

The Hormone Psychiatrist is where women’s mental health, hormones, and real life finally have the same conversation.

Dr. Stefani Reinold is a board-certified psychiatrist who believes women deserve better answers than “your labs are normal,” “it’s probably anxiety,” or another 27-step wellness protocol. Each week, she takes on the things women are actually wondering about—mood, anxiety, sleep, ADHD, energy, irritability, sex, periods, motherhood, perimenopause, hormone testing, medications, and the increasingly complicated business of trying to feel good in a world obsessed with optimizing everything.

Because sometimes it is hormones. Sometimes it’s mental health. Sometimes it’s sleep, stress, nutrition, relationships, medication, or simply the season of life you’re living. And very often, it’s several things interacting at once.

The goal isn’t to turn you into a perfectly optimized version of yourself. It’s to help you understand your brain and body well enough to know what matters, what doesn’t, and what deserves your attention next.

Expect smart science without the medical-school lecture, honest conversations about the things women don’t always say out loud, a healthy dose of skepticism about wellness culture, and practical next steps you can actually use in real life.

Understand yourself. Know what matters. Do less.

Welcome to The Hormone Psychiatrist.

Real science. Real life. No wellness homework.

Andrew Weil – Academy of Achievement

“I think if I stop being controversial I wouldn’t be doing my job… I’m interested in things that don’t fit established conceptions… that don’t fit accepted models, and in trying to determine what’s true and useful.” Andrew Weil’s first public controversy came when he was still a student at Harvard Medical School in 1968. His laboratory study of the effects of marijuana in human subjects was the first of its kind. The Medical School would not permit him to perform the research on campus; he was forced to use the facilities of nearby Boston University instead. His conclusions, published in Science while he was still an intern, were widely condemned. Dr. Weil continued on his own path, traveling widely to collect information on drug use in other cultures, on medicinal plants, and on alternative methods of treating disease. At the University of Arizona medical school, he has led the first effort to change medical education to include information on alternative therapies, mind/body interactions, natural healing, and other subjects not usually emphasized in the training of physicians. He has brought his findings to the general public through seven books, including the international bestsellers, Spontaneous Healing, and Eight Weeks to Optimum Health. A frequent lecturer and guest on talk shows, Dr. Weil is an internationally recognized expert on drugs and addiction, medicinal plants, alternative medicine, and the reform of medical education.

The Medical School Podcast

This show attempts to answer one question – what are the best and worst ways to study in medical school? Too often, students of medicine use low-yield study strategies and end up selling themselves short. The show focuses on the most effective ways to learn and remember the material, test-taking skills, time management, and ways that you can study less but study more effectively. We’ll also debunk common myths about studying in medical school. These are strategies I utilized over the years that took me from barely passing my exams to scoring in the 98th percentile on my board exams.
