In this episode, we dive back into our series on debunking medical myths. We bust common misconceptions, including the belief that getting rained on or going outside with wet hair can make you sick, that cold weather causes colds, and that the flu shot gives you the flu. We discuss how these myths persist despite scientific evidence debunking them, and provide practical advice on how to stay healthy, especially during cold and flu season. Additional topics include the ineffectiveness of Vitamin C in preventing colds, the myth of starving a fever, and the misconception that cleaning with Clorox causes pneumonia.

You voted... and we're delivering: Anxiety

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by your thoughts and emotions? Do you worry about the future, the past, or what others think of you? Do you experience physical symptoms like racing heart, sweating, trembling, or nausea when you face stressful situations? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be dealing with anxiety.

Anxiety is a common and normal response to uncertainty, danger, or challenge. It can help us prepare for important events, alert us to potential threats, and motivate us to take action. However, when anxiety becomes excessive, persistent, or irrational, it can interfere with our daily functioning and well-being.

In this episode of Funny Medicine Podcast, we will explore the different types of anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and phobias. We will also discuss the causes, symptoms, and treatments of anxiety, and share some tips and strategies to cope with anxiety in a healthy and effective way.

Whether you have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, or you just want to learn more about this common mental health issue, this podcast episode is for you.

How Too Much Fructose Can Feed Cancer Tumors & The Eye-Opening Whole30 Diet Experience 🍬

Fructose: Sweet Poison? Did you know that too much fructose—yes, even the stuff in “healthy” foods—might be throwing a party for cancer cells? Recent research from Washington University in St. Louis shows that high fructose intake, especially from sneaky high fructose corn syrup, could fuel tumor growth in cancers like melanoma, breast, and cervical cancer. (So much for your “guilt-free” granola bars, right?)

🥗 Whole30: A Foodie Cult or Life-Changer? We spill the tea (unsweetened, of course) on our adventurous journey through the Whole30 diet. From reading nutrition labels like it’s a CSI crime scene to discovering sugar where you’d least expect it (ketchup?!), this was one eye-opening experience.

🎙️ In this episode, we also tackle:

• The horrors of hidden sugars in everyday foods.

• The struggles of screen time on preschoolers’ sleep (spoiler: it’s not helping).

• The FDA recalling antidepressants (because 2025 just wasn’t chaotic enough).

• The USDA’s new dietary guidelines. • Why Gen Z thinks kale is just a garnish while Boomers treat it like a holy grail.

• A decline in US obesity rates—yes, you read that right.

• And mind-blowing breakthroughs, like AI-powered blood tests for early cancer detection, new HIV treatments, and finally an FDA-approved sleep apnea medication.

🛑 Don’t forget to:

👉 Hit the LIKE button (or we’ll assume you’re a fructose fan).

👉 COMMENT your wildest Whole30 fail.

In this episode, the we delve into debunking popular medical myths about alcohol, hangovers, and sleep, drawing from personal anecdotes, historical contexts, and scientific evidence to dismantle or validate beliefs such as 'hair of the dog', beer before liquor, nightcaps, and the supposed warming effects of Irish coffee on ski slopes. Through a mixture of humor and skepticism, the discussion questions the credibility of old wives’ tales and the legitimacy behind common practices while poking fun at the myths that have been embedded in our culture. Still engaging in our typical lighthearted banter and mockery of the myths, we provide a clearer understanding of how alcohol affects our body, offering insights that are a bit educational as they are entertaining.

The Comeback No One Asked For: Syphilis

In this episode, we’re dishing out the dirt on syphilis’s grand return to the spotlight. We’ll cover everything from the cringe-worthy symptoms to its dramatic stages.

Our doc, Yvy, shares tales from the trenches while in residency. We’ll also take a stroll through history, name-dropping some famous faces who might’ve had a little more than just charisma.

But we’re not all jokes. We get serious about the real talk—testing, prevention, & why turning a blind eye could leave you in a historical pickle. So prepare to be entertained, educated, & maybe a little grossed out.

Dive into the annoyingly itchy world of hives as we explore the ins and outs of cold urticaria and exercise-induced urticaria. Ever felt like your body is allergic to the cold or, worse, exercising? Imagine having a full-blown itchy meltdown just from a slight temperature change or after finally dragging yourself to the gym. We're breaking down the types, triggers, and, surprisingly, treatments (hint: it involves avoiding joy in life like cold ice cream or, you know, moving). We talk about living with this condition and proactive (or desperate) strategies to manage it without having to live like a mole rat. Get ready to feel seen, itchy, and a little less alone in your hive-y plight.

Is Your Bottled Water Giving You Brain Fog? (Spoiler: Maybe!) - Funny Medicine Podcast Ep. on Microplastics Welcome back to Funny Medicine Podcast.

This week, Dr. Yvy and Julz are bravely tackling the invisible menace lurking in your lunchbox, your tap water, and possibly even your organic kale smoothie: microplastics! 😱

In "Unveiling the Hidden Dangers: Microplastics in Our Daily Lives," we reluctantly drag ourselves into the murky depths of plastic pollution. Learn all about these teeny-tiny terrors, from their fascinating origin story (spoiler: it involves us) to their uncanny ability to be literally everywhere – oceans, soil, and yes, your precious bodily fluids.

We're not kidding, folks. We're talking plastic toxicity, hormone disruption, chronic inflammation, and maybe even neural toxicity! Is that brain fog actually plastic fog? Probably! But don't worry, we'll break down the complex science with our signature blend of humor and mild panic.

In this episode, you'll reluctantly learn about: The shocking history of plastics and how we got ourselves into this sticky situation. Types of plastics and why some are basically tiny time bombs for your health. Where microplastics in the environment are hiding (hint: everywhere you look and some places you really, really don't).

The terrifying **health risks of microplastics – because ignorance is not bliss when it comes to microscopic plastic shards invading your system. BPA and plastic toxicity – your old "BPA-free" water bottle might be laughing at you right now. How microplastics enter the body – prepare to be slightly disgusted. Health problems linked to microplastics* – a fun list of ailments to add to your hypochondria! The depressing *prevalence of microplastics in humans** – you are not special, you have plastic in you. Actually reducing microplastic exposure – practical tips that might slightly help, probably. The vague and uncertain future of medicine and microplastics – optimism is for suckers! The latest depressing research and news on microplastics – because good news is so overrated.

Tune in for the (slightly panicked) conversation that will make you question every sip of water and bite of food you consume! We promise to make learning about the impending plastic apocalypse almost* enjoyable.
