Given that it’s a new year, it’s likely that you’re making efforts to improve your wellbeing and health. No matter how big or little your 2025 goal or desire is, you may be searching for trustworthy information and motivation to help you stay inspired in the months ahead.
Considering that, Doctors Nova Scotia put together a list of seven podcasts that you should add to your audio rotation. They include topics such as brain and mental health, nutrition, Indigenous health, and healthy living.
The Healthcare Divide
The Healthcare Divide, which is hosted by Dr. Alika Lafontaine, the first Indigenous doctor to lead the Canadian Medical Association, reveals “uncomfortable truths, troubling realties and innovative efforts to overcome systemic racism in Canada’s health-care system.” Racial injustices in Canada have brought about a sharply divided “system of the haves and have-nots,” according to Dr. Lafontaine. He speaks with Indigenous medical professionals who are fighting to improve Canada’s healthcare system for Indigenous patients in a recent airing. “
On Drugs
Using “the lens of history, pop culture, and personal experience,” On Drugs examines how drugs have influenced our lives, exploring into the history and significance of everything from recreational drugs to caffeine and ibuprofen. In the most recent season, host Geoff Turner examines his own relationship with alcohol and speaks with experts about the reasons behind the rise in people adopting sober or sober-curious lifestyles and how there is no one-size-fits-all approach to altering the role alcohol plays in your life.
Maintenance Phase
The podcast Maintenance Phase takes pride in “debunking the junk science beyond health fads, wellness scams, and nonsensical nutrition advice.” It tackles contentious subjects in a way that is intelligent, humorous, and approachable. Michael Hobbes and Aubrey Gordon, co-hosts, discuss the newest diet and health fads, such as the legacy of fitness expert Richard Simmons, utilizing the medication Ozempic to lose weight, and much more.
Nutrition Conversations
Nutrition Conversations, a program of the Canadian Nutrition Society, disseminates the most recent findings on nutrition, health, and the significance of food in our lives. A variety of themes are covered by the Canadian guest experts, such as food insecurity, sports nutrition, dietary trends, and food sustainability. JoAnne Arcand, a nutritionist, discussed in a recent episode how eating too much sodium can increase your risk of developing osteoporosis, diabetes, and stomach cancer in addition to harming your heart.
Remember that talking about your medical condition with your family physician or another primary care provider is still more important than listening to a podcast. Before beginning a new health-related endeavor or making a significant change, always get their advice. They can guide you in the proper route because they know you the best.
