Sawbones: Hydrogen Water
Dr. Sydnee has ruined her TikTok algorithm for the listeners once again and came across something called "Hydrogen Water." Similar to alkaline water, hydrogen water goes through an ionization process that leaves it with excess hydrogen molecules. But . . . is it better than regular water? Probably not.

Sawbones: Plexus
In a collaboration of medical fads and brands, Dr. Sydnee and Justin dive into the confusing MLM called Plexus. The company started as a seller of the Breast Chek [sic] Kit but has since branched out into wellness and weight management products that it encourages its Ambassadors to recruit others to sell.

Sawbones: Vampire Facials
You may have seen some celebrities or influencers on social media getting something called a Vampire Facial. It's exactly what it sounds like: blood spread on the face like a cream mask. But why would anyone do this unless it's supposed to do something for the skin? Dr. Sydnee and Justin draw out where this trend came from and its questionable benefits.

Sawbones: CPR
Squishing someone’s heart and blowing air into them to bring them back to life seems so basic, so why weren’t we able to agree on it for the past few hundred years? This week on Sawbones, Dr. Sydnee gives an overview of the evolution of CPR which, despite what movies and TV would have you believe, isn’t quite an infinite cheat code for avoiding death.

Sawbones: Lazarus Syndrome
What if someone was declared dead . . . only for their heart to start beating again? This is a phenomenon sometimes called "Lazarus Syndrome" or "auto resuscitation after failed pulmonary resuscitation". Dr. Sydnee and Justin discuss the outline of exactly what needs to occur, some possible reasons this might happen, and a few wild examples.

Sawbones: Sea Moss
Another day, another fad superfood on social media! Sea moss, or carrageenan or Irish moss, has historically been used for ulcers and sore throats, but does it actually have any proven medical use? Well, no, but it’s probably a good vegan substitute for gelatin.

Interesting show, could improve though
You know when you go to the doctor and you describe your symptoms, get diagnosed and then quickly off you go although you want to stay longer and chitchat a little with someone who has lots of knowledge about human diseases and who doesn't end up telling you you have cancer like every Google search about a symptom? Well the show is like it lets you have that chitchat! I like it.
The only thing that really bugs me is when the presenters (a female doctor and her podcaster/comedian -?- husband) say their names in the start and the end of every show. The female doctor has adopted the surname of her husband. Whatever the reasons, I just don't get how much more VIP can you get in a society (doctors are highly respected) that a female can maintain her own surname (ok, it is her father's but she identified with that name her whole life)?! She is a doctor! And still has to get her husband's name! Even if there is an explanation behind it(e.g.that was the last wish of his grandfather or whatever), I find it sad that with all the progress to limit the patriarchal roles, women still have to obey to them no matter what.
Also, I would like the male presenter to participate a little more, sometimes it feels like a monologue from the doctor.
Anyway, apart from those two notes(my opinion, of course), the show is good.
Saludos from Spain.
