"My Tongue is Shedding" | Refractory Myasthenia Gravis

What do you do when your own tongue starts "shedding" like a snake and your doctor tells you to just "eat a banana"? Imagine waking up and seeing the world through 90s TV static, while your muscles literally stretch and tear like gum when you yawn. Làyla joins the boys to break down the reality of living with Refractory Myasthenia Gravis (MG), a version of the illness so stubborn it requires constant infusions just to keep her stable. From the terrifying moment she realized her jaw was atrophying, to the bizarre neurological world of Visual Snow Syndrome, Làyla shares it all with a level of humor and confidence that is honestly infectious.

What’s new in menopause treatments?

With more than 30 symptoms of menopause, it can be difficult to decide which treatments work best. Menopause specialist ob-gyn Dr. Kelsey Mills explains why hormone therapy is the gold standard, how new non-hormonal treatments are expanding options, and why symptom-based care—not hormone testing or “quick fixes”—is what really works.

My Sister Confessed Her Dark Secret to Me While I was in A Coma | Stroke at 21

Imagine being 21 years old, trapped in a two-week coma, completely unable to move or speak, while your sister leans over your bed and confesses her deepest darkest secret to you, and you hear the whole thing. This week, we sit down with Melanie, who at 21 years old, went from a "parking lot" migraine on the 401 to a life-saving brain surgery that left her in a two-week coma . But Melanie wasn't just "asleep"—she describes a vivid, "locked-in" experience where she heard every secret her friends whispered and saw her aunt’s birthday wishes in brushstrokes of pink and purple. Melanie shares her "heritage moment" journey of proving every ableist professor wrong by becoming the first legally blind person to graduate from teachers' college in Ontario, despite the system betting she wouldn't make it to Christmas. Melanie’s story is a masterclass in why you should never tell a "determined" woman what she can’t do. Check out the incredible work Melanie does: https://connect4life.ca/ Follow Sickboy: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sickboypodcast Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sickboypodcast Discord: https://discord.gg/expeUDN

Which childhood vaccines do doctors recommend universally?

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its childhood vaccination schedule, cutting back the number of immunizations from 17 to 11. Infectious-diseases specialist Dr. Caroline Quach-Thanh says Canada’s schedule hasn’t changed, but she worries the U.S. move could create confusion and fuel vaccine hesitancy here.

Introducing: Recall: How to Start a Revolution

The 1950s & 60s saw a wave of radical movements. Che Guevara and the Cuban Revolution. The Black Panthers. Quebec and Canada had the FLQ — a showdown that dissolved into crisis. By October 1970, there were soldiers in the streets, communities on edge, kidnapping and terror in the headlines. But those frightening weeks were just the crescendo of a wave of terror and violence that was nearly a decade in the making. This series will reveal the stories of that time through immersive storytelling and the people who lived it: the bomb disposal expert on defusing live explosives, the survivors of terror, their families, and the radicals themselves.

S2 E11 The Spell of the Poppy

Opioid drugs have claimed a shocking number of lives across North America in recent years, as people fall victim to overdose. While the intensity of crisis is new, our relationship with opiates — and opioids, as they're often referred to now — goes back millennia. This is an overdose crisis thousands of years in the making, and in this episode, Geoff Turner dives into that fascinating history to figure out how we got to this point.
