Not Your Doctor Podcast

In defense of public toilets

Rachel is back from Greece and Laurel has completed yet another book club. The docs also discuss some of our listener’s common health myths and misconceptions. From STIs on toilet seats to swallowed chewing gum to the percentage of our brains we put to use- are you ready to shake them off? Or continue squatting in midair? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Tuna Talk

This week, Tara and Laurel struggle to make use of the English language, while responding to a grab-bag of listener reactions, a hantavirus haunting, a fertility visit gone awry, and some dating dilemmas. The docs also return to the question of quitting and discuss the extent to which they’re in competition with one another. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Embracing our crone era

Can I afford my lifestyle?

Rachel and Laurel dig in and talk money in this week’s pod.

And they spill on the sanity (or lack thereof) of their own spending. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Living Libido Loca

Is your sex drive “normal”? Are you wondering when and how to bring up STIs in a new relationship? Experiencing physical limitations to getting it on?
