Not Your Doctor Podcast

Fellowship of the Oura ring

This week the girls talk wearables, as in the pretty jewellery that also takes your temperature, measures your sleep and judges your exercise habits. The docs answer listener questions about continuous glucose monitors, socks that check your baby’s oxygen, and other devices that promise big glow-ups but might give big anxiety. Digressions include horses on beaches, a celebrity shadowing and a damp kitty.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Living our breast life

On this week’s episode, Rachel shares exciting news, Laurel flips to nights, and the docs delve into some double D dilemas on this episode about boobs.

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.

Or continue squatting in midair? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
