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.

カスタマーレビュー
Entertaining and educational!
What a great podcast! Justin and Sydnee’s banter is so fun. Their topic choices are always spot on, allowing listeners to see patterns or understand decisions in a historic context.
I appreciate the consideration Sydnee puts into topic choices which are timely or locationally relevant.
Super fun to listen to!
Been on a binge with this a little now that I'm working from home more and therefore able to listen to podcasts while working. I've always had an interest in medical stuff (wanted to be a nurse when I grew up), so this is right up my alley.
Sydnee is super knowledgeable on pretty much any topic and she's really thorough when it comes to giving the background of something, explaining concepts and why things work the way they do, etc. It's really cool to listen to her nerd out a little on some topics, she really gets into it!
As for Justin, I think he balances out the show with his jokes and also acts as sort of an extension of the listener, where he asks questions to further the discussion of a topic and is sort of learning alongside the listener.
Overall, Sawbones is a really fun and educational podcast and I love the cast for what they each bring to the table! Keep up the good work!! :)
Informative and super darn funny, with a capital F.
Justin, you had me at “don’t cry over spilled dead people.” Love this show and have recommended it to anyone who will listen to me. Keep it up!
