We've all heard advice like "take the stairs!" or "park in the furthest spot," but can this stuff actually make a difference? What's the point of movement if it's not leaving you out of breath, dripping in sweat, and sore the next day? This week, we talk to Dr. James Levine about the powerful health (and non-health) benefits of non-exercise. Get ready to bust out the bike desk.

When it comes to nutrition, it seems like we disagree about nearly everything: carbs, sugar, fat... even fruit. But, it turns out, there's actually a lot that the entire scientific community agrees on. In this episode, we talk to Professor Christopher Gardner about nutrition science, what we've gotten wrong, and more importantly, what we've gotten right. It turns out, nutrition may not be as complicated as we make it seem.

A lot of us struggle with our relationship to food. We may be overly restrictive. We may use food to cope with difficult emotions or stress. But for some of us, the struggle goes beyond this, and becomes a dangerous mental illness. Today, we revisit one of our most important episodes exploring eating disorders and disordered eating. How do we know if we have an eating disorder? Who can eating disorders affect? And what does a healthy relationship with food look like? Today, we speak to Professor Jennifer Thomas from Massachusetts General Hospital and and Professor Kristin Javaras from Harvard Medical School.

What are ultra-processed foods, and why do they seemingly cause us to lose control? Today, we listen back on one of our favorite episodes featuring journalist Michael Pollan, Professor Paul Kenny on how processed foods affect our brains and even change our food preferences.

This is an update to our last episode on alcohol. New research has been accumulating suggesting that perhaps even a glass a day of alcohol is not beneficial. For instance, the new Canadian guidelines say that zero alcohol is the safest amount of alcohol. Today, we revisit the topic with Professor Mariann Piano, Senior Associate Dean for Research, Postdoctoral Fellowship Director.

Thank you to everyone who reached out to us to make this episode.

Is there anything better than a piping hot cup of coffee on a frigid winter day, or the first cold brew of a beautiful summer? For a lot of us… likely not. Coffee is the way we kick off a day, pick up an afternoon, and rehash the work week with a friend on the weekend. Besides saving us an untold amount of cash, is there any health benefit to giving up coffee? Or is it actually making us live longer? Today we talk to Professor Rob Van Dam from George Washington University. Caf, decaf, or no-caf: what science tells us about coffee, caffeine, and health.

A cocktail with your friends, a glass of wine after work, a beer at a barbecue–alcohol is everywhere. Undoubtedly, it’s been an integral part of our society for thousands of years. But when it comes to its effects on our health, results can feel more mixed than your favorite margarita. Is alcohol a “poison,” or maybe, in moderation, is it actually ok, or even good for us?

Today, we speak to Professor Eric Rimm from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health on the science of alcohol and health. So sit back, relax, and pour yourself a glass… or maybe don’t.
