Why More Young People Are Getting Cancer | Dr. David & Jeremiah Bearss

What Hospitals Get Wrong About Patient Care | Dr. Amogh Havanur

Modern medicine can do incredible things. But sometimes the best care is knowing when not to intervene. In this episode of the Good Medicine Podcast, Dr. Jeremiah Bearss sits down with Dr. Amogh Havanur to discuss hospital practices, patient care, and the importance of focusing on the person rather than simply chasing numbers. They explore why unnecessary overnight interruptions may not always benefit patients, how clinical judgment fits alongside lab values and data, and why getting patients safely back home is often one of the most important goals in healthcare. The conversation highlights a simple but powerful idea: good medicine is not always about doing more. Topics covered include: • Unnecessary interventions in hospital settings• The role of clinical judgment in patient care• Why getting patients home matters 🎧 Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts📺 Subscribe for more conversations on science, medicine, and innovation.

What Happens When You Avoid the Sun | Dr. David & Jeremiah Bearss

For years, people have been told to avoid the sun whenever possible. But is completely avoiding sunlight actually healthy? In this episode of the Good Medicine Podcast, Dr. David Bearss and Dr. Jeremiah Bearss discuss the role sunlight plays in overall health and why some exposure may be beneficial. They explore research showing higher all-cause mortality in individuals who avoided sunlight, the connection between sunlight and serotonin, and why seasonal affective disorder may be linked to reduced light exposure. The conversation also highlights the importance of balance. Too much sun exposure carries risk, but too little may come with consequences as well. Topics covered include: • Research on sunlight exposure and mortality• The connection between sunlight and serotonin• Finding the right balance between benefit and risk 🎧 Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts 📺 Subscribe for more conversations on science, medicine, and innovation.

Why Sleep Impacts Nearly Everything | Dr. David & Jeremiah Bearss

Sleep impacts nearly every aspect of human health. In this episode of the Good Medicine Podcast, Dr. David Bearss and Dr. Jeremiah Bearss discuss why sleep may be one of the most important and overlooked pillars of long-term health. They explore how poor sleep affects mood, metabolism, cardiovascular risk, obesity, and overall lifespan, as well as the biological consequences of even a single night of sleep deprivation. The conversation also highlights the importance of taking ownership of personal health through consistent habits like sleep, exercise, and nutrition. Topics covered include: • Why sleep impacts mood, lifespan, and metabolic health• How sleep deprivation affects insulin sensitivity• The role of sleep, diet, and exercise in long-term health 🎧 Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts📺 Subscribe for more conversations on science, medicine, and innovation.

Why GLP-1s May Not Be the Full Answer | Dr. David & Jeremiah Bearss

GLP-1 drugs have changed the conversation around weight loss, but are they the complete solution? In this episode of the Good Medicine Podcast, Dr. David Bearss and Dr. Jeremiah Bearss discuss the benefits and downsides of GLP-1 medications, including how they impact exercise, muscle mass, and long-term weight management. They explore why many people feel poorly while taking these medications, why that can reduce physical activity, and why exercise remains one of the most important components of healthy weight loss. The conversation also looks at what happens after stopping GLP-1 therapy and why regaining weight may come with unintended consequences for body composition. Finally, they discuss AMPK and the idea of developing therapies that could help support the body by mimicking some of the biological signals associated with exercise. Topics covered include: • The benefits and drawbacks of GLP-1 medications• Why muscle loss matters during weight reduction• The future of exercise-signaling therapies like AMPK 🎧 Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts📺 Subscribe for more conversations on science, medicine, and innovation.

The Problem With Mouse Models in Drug Development | Dr. David & Jeremiah Bearss

Drug development takes an average of 15 years, costs billions of dollars, and most therapies still fail before reaching patients. In this episode of the Good Medicine Podcast, Dr. David Bearss and Dr. Jeremiah Bearss discuss one of the biggest problems in modern drug development: animal models that may not accurately predict what happens in humans. They explore why only a small percentage of therapies that work in mice ultimately succeed in people, how that impacts timelines and costs, and why the industry may need to rethink how therapies are tested. The conversation also looks at the broader implications for pharmaceutical pricing, innovation, and the future of medicine if more predictive testing systems can be developed. Topics covered include: • Why most therapies that work in mice fail in humans• The cost and timeline challenges in drug development• The future of more predictive testing systems 🎧 Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts📺 Subscribe for more conversations on science, medicine, and innovation.
