As with supplements, the medical field has a love/hate relationship with chiropractics, so to explain the details and benefits of it, Neal is joined by Dr. David Rosenblum and Dr. Eugenie Tartell. They get into what exactly goes on during an appointment; the two schools of thought on technique; what chiropractics actually treats; the importance of vetting the practitioner’s credentials; how it compares to PT, OT, and the like; how and when supplements figure into it; and how to find the right chiropractor for you.

One of the evolutions of our modern society is taking better care of our pets so to talk about pet care and nutrition, Neal is joined by holistic veterinarian, Dr. Rob Silver. Rob’s mission for our animal friends is the same as Neal’s mission for humans- adopt better nutrition and self care habits, but if you need medicine, then don’t be afraid of it. To that end, Rob and Neal get into details about pet food that many might find surprising as far as processing and additives. They talk about the immediate reactions to cheap food; what a high carb diet will to them; and what Rob does for his own animals. Plus, the doctors talk about Rob’s supplement line, which includes mushrooms from a previous guest on the show.

To put a cap on weight loss resolutions for the new year, Neal and Daena are discussing meal replacement shakes today. Is Neal for or agin’em?

Returning to the show is fellow Doctor of Pharmacy, Jeffrey Fudin. On his last appearance, Jeff and Neal got into the evolution of the opioid epidemic having stemmed from pain management. Today’s discussion is lighter, focusing on the many treatments for pain, including opioids, yes, but also anticonvulsants and antidepressants. Jeff also gets into OTC pain relievers; topical ointments; turmeric; CBD (of course); real dosing of OTC drugs; dealing with the side effects of pain relievers; the reality of aspirin; and he explains what exactly is going on with genetic testing for pain management.

One of the rising stars in general wellness is probiotics and joining Neal today is the Scientific Director of the International Probiotic Association, Dr. Jessica ter Haar. Neal and Jessica get right into the complexity of purchasing a quality probiotic, but Jessica gives us a good tip about what to look for. She explains what is not a probiotic from cleaning products, to candy, to fermented foods, to this producer’s favorite weird topic - fecal transplants. She also covers the effects on the health of both sexes; oral health; fertility and menopause; bacteria enriched soil; kombucha; and prebiotics.

Because there are so many wacky trends in dentistry right now, Neal is joined by one last dentist for the year, Sarah Balaster. Sarah specializes in laser dentistry, which is moving dentistry into the future and away from all the painful procedures that so many of us fear. Sarah tells us all about the benefits of using a laser, which are numerous and encouraging; advances in mouthwash; the ins and outs of dental insurance; we get some hilarious and gross stories from the dental chair; and she explains the deal with oil pulling.

We’re talking microbiomes today. They exist not just in your gut, but all throughout the body and to explain how they work, Neal is joined by Dr. Rodney Dietert. Rodney and Neal get into the relationship between microbes and genetics; the locations of various microbiomes; the effect of stress on your microbiome; which foods have the greatest impact; the immune/microbiota interaction; soil-based bacteria; and the regrowth process when a microbiome becomes depleted.

Neal’s absolute favorite thing to do is research, so to get into the minutiae of reliable scientific studies he is joined by Dr. James Heathers. James gives us some basics about finding reliable research; how real results get twisted by reporters; why there is distrust of generic drugs; drugs that fail their trials; what ‘statistical significance’ really means; why the results from tests on animals may not apply to humans; and he does a bit of calculation about the odds of conspiracies being true.
