#11 The 4 medicine cabinet essentials every home needs

Épisode 11

mercredi 21 octobre 2026 • Durée 33:04

A fever at 9 pm on a Friday. A car-sick kid on a winding highway. Mosquito bites that swell up overnight. Most of these moments don’t need an ER visit, just the right things in your medicine cabinet.

So what do you actually need in there? In this episode we walk you through the 4 essentials every home should have (and a few runners-up!), a pharmacy-aisle trap that costs you more, and the medications you should keep locked away.

#10 Peptides: Hype, harm, and what the evidence says

Épisode 10

mardi 6 octobre 2026 • Durée 22:50

Would you inject something from a random guy on TikTok? Plenty of people already are. Peptides are all over your feed: injectables that promise faster weight loss, bigger muscles, quicker healing, even a tan. In this episode, we separate the peptides you can trust, like insulin and the GLP-1s , from the unregulated ones sold online with "not for human consumption" on the label. We look at who's using them, why they're trending, and what we actually know about the benefits and risks.

Spoiler alert: you don't know what's in the vial, and neither does anyone else.

#9 Spot the difference: Your guide to skin cancer screening

Épisode 9

vendredi 25 septembre 2026 • Durée 20:27

Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in North America, yet most cases aren't the melanomas most people picture. In this episode kicking off our cancer screening series, we break down the 3 major types of skin cancer, whether you actually need routine screening from your doctor, and how to check your own skin. You'll learn the ABCDE method many people have heard of, plus the CUBED method for palms, soles, and nails — which catches what ABCDE misses, especially in people with darker skin tones. Plus: practical sun protection tips and the sunscreen myths worth unlearning.

#7 Measuring your blood pressure: Why one reading isn't enough

mardi 25 août 2026 • Durée 15:18

The most accurate blood pressure reading you'll ever get probably won't happen at your doctor's office. In this episode we break down why a single high blood pressure reading is no longer the gold standard for diagnosing hypertension, and what's replaced it.

Learn how to properly check your blood pressure at home, why out-of-office readings often predict heart attack and stroke risk better than clinic visits do, and when your doctor might reach for the 24-hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor to get the full picture.

Skip the white coat jitters — here's how to actually know your numbers.

#6 E-Scooters, drowning myths & trampolines: Your summer survival guide part 2

Épisode 6

dimanche 9 août 2026 • Durée 24:35

Your kid's e-scooter is probably going faster than the law allows — and that's just the start. Dr Alaina Aguanno joins me to dig into why ER visits for e-scooter injuries are exploding, the real reason trampoline parks send more kids to surgery than backyard trampolines, and the one supervision habit that prevents more drownings than swim lessons ever will. Listen in to learn what you need to know before you & your loved ones hit the lake, the bike path, or your next backyard party – while still having a blast.

#5 Heat, sun, and bugs: Your summer survival guide

Épisode 5

mardi 21 juillet 2026 • Durée 28:19

This summer we're breaking down the real risks of heat-related illness, sunburn, and bug bites — and the evidence-based steps that make a difference to your health. I sit down with Emergency Physician Dr. Alaina Aguanno to discuss who is most vulnerable to heat, the warning signs of heatexhaustion and heat stroke, and how to keep kids and older adults safe before a heat wave hits. We also unpack surprising statistics about sun exposure and skin cancer, and highlight practical sunscreen and sun-protection guidance for every age. Then we top things off with a rundown of what actually works against mosquitos and ticks (spoiler alert: "natural" repellents are backed by very little science!) and what do to if you do get bitten.

#3 Why you need to screen for high blood pressure

Saison 3 · Épisode 3

lundi 8 juin 2026 • Durée 11:53

High blood pressure affects more than 1 in 4 adults and is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide — yet many people who have it don't even know it. This episode kicks off a 3-part mini-series on hypertension by breaking down exactly what high blood pressure is, why it silently damages your heart and blood vessels over time, and what's actually driving it — from salt and alcohol, to genetics and certain medications. You'll also learn who should be screening and when, including why some people in their 20s and 30s shouldn't wait.

If you want to understand one of the most important ways you can improve long-term health and reduce your cardiovascular risk, this is where to start.

#2 Why cardiovascular risk screening matters

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mardi 28 avril 2026 • Durée 14:10

In this first episode of the The Prevention Playbook, Dr. Goldis Mitra pulls back the curtain on the silent "clogged pipes" of the human body: cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Mitra argues that heart and blood vessel health is actually about freedom—the freedom to travel without needing a dialysis machine or simply walk up the stairs without gasping for air. Think of a cardiovascular risk assessment as a high-stakes home inspection: you’re hunting for the leaks and faulty wiring before the whole house crumbles. From debunking the "I feel fine" myth to explaining why your genetics might lead you to face unique hurdles, this episode is a wake-up call to start screening early. Whether you’re 20 or 60, it’s time to stop leaving your quality of life to chance and start investing in the 80-year-old version of yourself.
