Not Your Doctor Podcast

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

Are you aging with grace or subversion? From botox to fillers to wills, Tara and Laurel discuss some of the practical and cultural implications of what it means to age in our society.

Can I afford my lifestyle?

Rachel and Laurel dig in and talk money in this week’s pod. Our listeners have questions about everything from gel nail habits to the hidden costs of food allergies to different spending patterns between partners. 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? Tara and Laurel tackle questions related to relations between two (or one, or more) consenting adults. We’re not your doctors, but we certainly have opinions. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Flake Fest

Are you a good friend? In this week’s episode, listeners ask how the f* do you make friends when you move to a new city, whether competition in friendship is ever healthy, and does loneliness impact your longevity? Spoiler: yes it does. The docs also detail what it’s like to maintain (or neglect?) their own friendships while working 80 hour weeks. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
