    S05_E07 - Getting Ahead on Brain Health

    With Special Guests: Dr. Behnam Sabayan and Patty Takawira

    It's not uncommon that our functioning brains get taken for granted, right up until the point that things go awry. But the truth is there's a spectrum to brain health and there are actually things we can do to help keep our brains healthy throughout our lives - beyond wearing a bike helmet (though that's important, too!).

    Brain health is an ever-changing science, and up until the last decade, we didn't really have much of an understanding around preventive care. But that's changing quickly! To get us up to speed on things, we'll be joined by Preventive Neurologist Dr. Behnam Sabayan (MD, PhD) and Patty Takawira (MPH) from the Minnesota Department of Health. We'll go over the warning signs, preventative strategies, current understandings and the best ways to get the jump on keeping our brains healthy.

    Early detection is key, and it's never too late to help your own cause. But it all comes down to awareness and knowledge, so come get wise with us!


    Brain Health Awareness Day is January 22nd!

    S05_E06 - From Low-T to ED, We’re Talking Men’s Sexual Health

    With Special Guest: Dr. Travis Pagliara

    Some of the most common health concerns for men are also the hardest to talk about. Erectile dysfunction, testosterone changes, and urinary leakage can quietly affect confidence, relationships, and quality of life--yet many people assume they're just part of aging or something to ignore. Truth is, these are medical issues, and understanding them can make a significant difference. Today, we're discussing it openly on the latest episode of the podcast.

    If you’ve been quietly wondering, “Is this just part of getting older?”—you’re not alone. Men’s sexual and urinary health issues are common, treatable, and nothing to be embarrassed about. On Episode 6 of our show, Dr. Hilden sits down with urologist Dr. Travis Pagliara for a candid, stigma-free conversation about men's sexual and urinary health. We'll cover what is normal, what's not, how common these issues are, how common they are, who they affect, and the wide range of treatment options available. Plus, when is the right time to talk to a doctor, and why early conversations matter.

    This is no doubt a sensitive subject for some, but an amazing thing about our show is that you can get wise with us, without making anyone else the wiser. We've got a great expert guest today, so we hope you'll join us!

    S05_E05 - Antibiotics - When They're Strong vs. When They're Wrong

    With Special Guest: Dr. Caitlin Eccles-Radtke

    Antibiotics have been around for almost a century, in that time they've been responsible for saving countless lives - in both humans and in livestock. But these meds have gone from medical marvels to "use with caution" in recent times. But what's driving this change? When are antibiotics actually called for and when are they ineffective? And what's the latest on these antibiotic resistant superbugs?

    Antibiotics have stirred up some big conversations recently, and on Episode 5 of our show, we'll be joined by infectious disease expert Dr. Caitlin Eccles-Radtke to explore the myths, mishaps, and mind-blowing discoveries shaping antibiotic use today. Wanna know why your doctor side-eyes unnecessary Z-packs? This episode breaks it all down. Join us!
