Customer Reviews
One of my faves!
As an RD, I absolutely LOVE this podcast! I find myself nodding my head in agreement consistently! Docs Who Lift take a patient centered approach and they are able to explain their topics in an easy to understand format. Anyone, medical community or not, can understand the topics presented! Give it a listen!
Oh! And the shows are a very good length. Not too long and not too short! Great to listen to while out on a walk!
I wish they would stop competing with each other
I really like this podcast and I think the information they have is critical. But they both drive me crazy, especially the one who tries to dominate the discussion. He talks louder, and constantly interrupts. And the banter would be cute at a family dinner but I find it difficult.
You two please stop interrupting each other, speak more slowly and get somebody to help you make your discussions clearer. Too many acronyms, too many technical unexplained concepts. It’s very distracting and doesn’t make you look smart. Especially the one of you that has the louder voice.
Useful and Informative Information
The information presented is understandable and practical.
Listening to these men is quite pleasant.
