Best evidence-based health podcasts
The modern naturopath has to be constantly learning. Even though direct-to-medical-journals is a respected means of research, sometimes it’s nice to hear about the issue in a more informal way, and then flip back to the journals to corroborate the details. Here are some great podcasts I listen to while on a beautiful cross country ski.
Though originally focused on plant-based diets, in The Proof Simon Hill has expanded his scope to really get to the essence of a health topic. He invites contributors of differing opinions on the same topic (such as fasting, or protein requirements) and helps the listener get a better sense of the true answer to their health questions.
That Naturopathic Podcast offers insights into various health topics and their corresponding naturopathic strategies.
Andrew Huberman does a great job of distilling a research topic into an optimize practical everyday application of the intervention. For example, he crunches the data about caffeine to lay out how best to use caffeinated beverages for optimal health and function.
Well Fed Women offers a casual conversation about nutrition and exercise specifically for women, with a focus on strength training and a paleo-type diet.
Ronda Patrick’s podcast “Found My Fitness” is a dense but informative research data dump about health topics that usually relate to longevity.
Peter Attia’s The Drive podcast is a similar in that it is related to health and longevity, but he comes at the topics from a clinical angle (he is a medical doctor with a focus in longevity).
Stacy Sim‘s tagline is “women aren’t little men”. She is an nutrition and exercise scientist who compiles research that applies specifically to womens’ physiology. She gives really concrete suggestions for how to eat and supplement to improve exercise performance.
