What can erectile dysfunction say about men’s health?

Erectile dysfunction is commonly thought of as a sexual health issue, but experts say the condition can reveal a lot about men's health. Dr. Dean Elterman, a urologist at the University Health Network in Toronto, says ED can be connected to a host of other health problems including diabetes and heart disease.

What do we need to know about burnout?

If you're dragging yourself into the office every day, you might be tired — or you might be experiencing burnout.

He shares how to recognize the signs and what you can do if you think you're affected. For transcripts of The Dose, please visit: lnk.to/dose-transcripts.

Terry O'Reilly rates hospital ads

Canadian hospitals are increasingly relying on donor dollars to make up for government funding cuts. And from Ryan Reynolds’ lol-worthy “bratty kids” campaign for SickKids to UHN’s “number-two hospital in the world” humblebrag, they’re becoming ever more creative and canny about the art of the pitch. So who better to help us survey this hospital branding landscape than legendary ad man and host of CBC’s Under the Influence, Terry O’Reilly? This episode is the second of a two-part series on hospital ads. Check out the first one in our feed.

What can a full-body MRI actually tell me about my health?

Some private clinics in Canada are offering whole-body MRIs that can run thousands of dollars. They claim these scans can detect a range of issues, and can find cancers in the early stages. Dr. Iain Kirkpatrick, the head of radiology at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, explains what a whole-body MRI can - and can’t - tell you about your health.

"We're number 2!" Why a Canadian hospital is boasting

Healthcare institutions rarely brag, but Toronto’s University Health Network is proudly advertising itself as the world’s #2 hospital and “Canada’s Hospital.” It reflects a broader push as hospitals increasingly rely on donor funding for staff, equipment, and infrastructure.

Flying High & Pooping Low: A Flight Surgeon’s Guide to Colon Cancer

What do high-performance fighter jets and a stage four cancer diagnosis have in common? More than you think. This week, we’re joined by Dr. Avishek “Avi” Kumar, a man who pulls double duty as both a practicing oncologist and a U.S. Air Force Flight Surgeon. Avi spends his time breaking the sound barrier in F-16s and fighting the "slow-motion car crash" of cancer diagnoses in young adults. We dive into the "too young" trap: why 30-year-olds are increasingly being hit with colon cancer and why the "warning lights" are being ignored. From the G-force toll on the body to the "caliber" of your poop (yes, Avi uses military terms for dookie) this episode is about unlearning the shame that is quite literally killing us.

Lung cancer isn’t just for smokers

Lung cancer is Canada’s deadliest cancer—and about one in four cases now occur in people who have never smoked. Toronto father Winhan Wong knows this firsthand: a lingering cough nine years ago led to a stage-four diagnosis. Thoracic surgeon Dr. Christian Finley explains why lung cancer is rising among never-smokers, the stigma around diagnosis, and how a national action plan aims to save lives.

The demand for Canadian surrogates

Leanna Scott has always gone out of her way to help others — which is why she decided to become a surrogate. She carried a child for a couple from the Netherlands who chose Canada because of its altruistic surrogacy laws and strong health-care system. As demand grows, Canadian surrogates like Leanna are increasingly sought after by intended parents both here and abroad. Pamela White, a Canadian researcher who teaches law at the University of Kent, says it's time Canada has a discussion around its surrogacy laws.

How healthy is eating one meal a day?

The One Meal a Day Diet, or OMAD, is a more extreme version of intermittent fasting that's been gaining in popularity. Its proponents say it can help people lose weight by eating a day’s worth of calories in a single meal. Family doctor and nutrition expert Dr. Mary Sco says there's little research suggesting that OMAD is more effective than other intermittent fasting diets.

What's the skinny on whole milk?

For decades, dietary guidelines have recommended low-fat milk to lower the risk of heart disease. But the U.S. recently updated its guidance, saying whole milk can be part of a healthy diet, while Canada still emphasizes lower-fat options. Registered dietitian Caroline Richard explains there's little difference in health outcomes—and that decades of public health messages about fat and sugar have shaped our milk choices.
