Not Your Doctor Podcast — Health & Fitness
Not Your Doctor Podcast

Not Your Doctor Podcast is a chatty, question-driven show hosted by three first-year doctors in the US and UK.

Each week, we answer listener-submitted questions about health, wellness, and life. All the things you’ve Googled at 2 a.m. or felt too awkward to ask your friends, or even your actual doctor. We mix evidence, real-world experience, cultural context, and plenty of hot takes, all without the jargon or judgment.

This is not medical advice. It’s honest conversation, thoughtful nuance, and doctors talking like people, for people.

Latest Episodes:

Wegovy vs Wolverine: the wondrous world of peptides Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

Peptides are having a moment, and apparently everyone now has a guy. This week, the docs wade into Wolverine Stacks, bodega peptides, injectable beauty promises and the mysterious vials of BPC-157 arriving in people's mailboxes, asking which peptide claims have actual medicine behind them and which are running several clinical trials ahead of the evidence. We also investigate whether peptides can heal your tendons, improve your skin and make you immortal, or whether your peptide guy might have oversold this.

From the Patreon: Toxins and toxic traits Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

Find the other half of the episode on Patreon at patreon.com/notyourdoctorpod where Tara and Laurel delve into our most toxic traits and relationships. And this week, the docs are your personal poison control center and ask what it takes to get products recalled, from lead-painted toys and asbestos makeup to craft beads that accidentally metabolize into GHB. Then we abandon toxicology for toxicity of a more personal variety, unpacking bad relationships, questionable personality traits and the uncomfortable possibility that sometimes the contaminant is coming from inside the house.

The IBS industrial complex Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

This is the episode where we say we’re going to talk about everything gastrointestinal and then mainly talk about IBS. Along the way, we declare war on minimal-privacy bathrooms, we decipher FODMAPs, explain why IBS and IBD are very much not the same thing, and investigate the deeply suspicious case of a boyfriend who apparently doesn’t poop.

Show notes

This week, the docs are finding god. Tara and Laurel tackle listener questions about SSRIs vs prayer, whether your delivery room needs a religious affiliation, and finding community at synagogue when you don’t actually believe in God.

Radicalized by Daycare Moms United Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

This week, the docs tackle the people who know you best and therefore know exactly how to drive you up a wall: your family. We get into meddling mothers-in-law, getting caught in the crossfire of a parent’s divorce, a sister running birthday-party infection control like the CDC, and a mom who decides the pickleball league absolutely needs an update on her daughter’s IVF.

Build-A-Baby Aug 26, 2026

Show notes

Are your genes actually calling the shots, or do we just really want someone to blame? This week, the docs tackle listener questions about designer babies, whether Ancestry.com can accidentally become a paternity test, how worried we should be about inherited genetic disorders, and whether your DNA can really tell you if you're destined to be anxious, athletic, or just annoying.

Sense and Sensitivities Aug 12, 2026

On this episode, Tara and Laurel tackle listener questions about dilemmas in friendships. One listener has a friend who seems dead-set on poisoning her. Another is sick of a pal’s therapy speak, and a third is wondering whether to lock it down with a work-wife. And how is a gentle-lady expected to maintain civility and decorum when a norovirus outbreak upsets a 30th birthday?
