    What Hospitals Get Wrong About Patient Care | Dr. Amogh Havanur

    Modern medicine can do incredible things. But sometimes the best care is knowing when not to intervene. In this episode of the Good Medicine Podcast, Dr. Jeremiah Bearss sits down with Dr. Amogh Havanur to discuss hospital practices, patient care, and the importance of focusing on the person rather than simply chasing numbers. They explore why unnecessary overnight interruptions may not always benefit patients, how clinical judgment fits alongside lab values and data, and why getting patients safely back home is often one of the most important goals in healthcare. The conversation highlights a simple but powerful idea: good medicine is not always about doing more. Topics covered include: • Unnecessary interventions in hospital settings• The role of clinical judgment in patient care• Why getting patients home matters 🎧 Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts📺 Subscribe for more conversations on science, medicine, and innovation.

    What Happens When You Avoid the Sun | Dr. David & Jeremiah Bearss

    For years, people have been told to avoid the sun whenever possible. But is completely avoiding sunlight actually healthy? In this episode of the Good Medicine Podcast, Dr. David Bearss and Dr. Jeremiah Bearss discuss the role sunlight plays in overall health and why some exposure may be beneficial. They explore research showing higher all-cause mortality in individuals who avoided sunlight, the connection between sunlight and serotonin, and why seasonal affective disorder may be linked to reduced light exposure. The conversation also highlights the importance of balance. Too much sun exposure carries risk, but too little may come with consequences as well. Topics covered include: • Research on sunlight exposure and mortality• The connection between sunlight and serotonin• Finding the right balance between benefit and risk 🎧 Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts📺 Subscribe for more conversations on science, medicine, and innovation.

    Why Sleep Impacts Nearly Everything | Dr. David & Jeremiah Bearss

    Sleep impacts nearly every aspect of human health. In this episode of the Good Medicine Podcast, Dr. David Bearss and Dr. Jeremiah Bearss discuss why sleep may be one of the most important and overlooked pillars of long-term health. They explore how poor sleep affects mood, metabolism, cardiovascular risk, obesity, and overall lifespan, as well as the biological consequences of even a single night of sleep deprivation. The conversation also highlights the importance of taking ownership of personal health through consistent habits like sleep, exercise, and nutrition. Topics covered include: • Why sleep impacts mood, lifespan, and metabolic health• How sleep deprivation affects insulin sensitivity• The role of sleep, diet, and exercise in long-term health 🎧 Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts📺 Subscribe for more conversations on science, medicine, and innovation.

    Why GLP-1s May Not Be the Full Answer | Dr. David & Jeremiah Bearss

    GLP-1 drugs have changed the conversation around weight loss, but are they the complete solution? In this episode of the Good Medicine Podcast, Dr. David Bearss and Dr. Jeremiah Bearss discuss the benefits and downsides of GLP-1 medications, including how they impact exercise, muscle mass, and long-term weight management. They explore why many people feel poorly while taking these medications, why that can reduce physical activity, and why exercise remains one of the most important components of healthy weight loss. The conversation also looks at what happens after stopping GLP-1 therapy and why regaining weight may come with unintended consequences for body composition. Finally, they discuss AMPK and the idea of developing therapies that could help support the body by mimicking some of the biological signals associated with exercise. Topics covered include: • The benefits and drawbacks of GLP-1 medications• Why muscle loss matters during weight reduction• The future of exercise-signaling therapies like AMPK 🎧 Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts📺 Subscribe for more conversations on science, medicine, and innovation.

    The Problem With Mouse Models in Drug Development | Dr. David & Jeremiah Bearss

    Drug development takes an average of 15 years, costs billions of dollars, and most therapies still fail before reaching patients. In this episode of the Good Medicine Podcast, Dr. David Bearss and Dr. Jeremiah Bearss discuss one of the biggest problems in modern drug development: animal models that may not accurately predict what happens in humans. They explore why only a small percentage of therapies that work in mice ultimately succeed in people, how that impacts timelines and costs, and why the industry may need to rethink how therapies are tested. The conversation also looks at the broader implications for pharmaceutical pricing, innovation, and the future of medicine if more predictive testing systems can be developed. Topics covered include: • Why most therapies that work in mice fail in humans• The cost and timeline challenges in drug development• The future of more predictive testing systems 🎧 Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts📺 Subscribe for more conversations on science, medicine, and innovation.

    Why More Young People Are Getting Cancer | Dr. David & Jeremiah Bearss

    Cancer is being diagnosed in younger people more than ever before. In this episode of the Good Medicine Podcast, Dr. David Bearss and Dr. Jeremiah Bearss discuss the growing trend of cancer diagnoses in individuals under the age of 50 and why this shift is raising concern. They explore data showing increased risk in younger generations, including a significant rise in colon cancer diagnoses compared to previous decades. The conversation also looks at outcomes, which can be worse for those diagnosed at a younger age, and what this may suggest about when cancer actually begins developing. This raises an important question. What has changed in recent decades that could be contributing to increased cancer risk in younger populations? Topics covered include: • Rising cancer rates in younger generations • Trends in colon cancer diagnoses under 50 • The importance of early exposure and long-term risk 🎧 Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts 📺 Subscribe for more conversations on science, medicine, and innovation.

    Is China Taking Over Drug Development? | Dr. David & Jeremiah Bearss

    The global landscape of drug development is changing rapidly. In this episode of the Good Medicine Podcast, Dr. David Bearss and Dr. Jeremiah Bearss discuss the rise of China as a major force in biotech and pharmaceutical innovation. Over the past several years, China has moved from a relatively small player to one of the most active regions for drug development and major deal-making. By changing how drugs are developed, including speed, cost, and efficiency, Chinese companies are increasingly competing on a global scale. They explore what this shift means for U.S. biotech companies, the challenges of competing in a faster and more cost-effective system, and how global partnerships are evolving as a result. The conversation also touches on the pressure facing large pharmaceutical companies, including upcoming patent expirations and the need to replace significant revenue, which may further accelerate global collaboration. Topics covered include: • The shift in biotech deal-making toward China• Competitive pressures facing U.S. companies• The impact of patent expirations on global strategy 🎧 Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts📺 Subscribe for more conversations on science, medicine, and innovation.

    A Surprising Link Between Anemia and Cancer | Dr. David & Jeremiah Bearss

    A recent study is raising important questions about the relationship between anemia and cancer. In this episode of the Good Medicine Podcast, Dr. David Bearss and Dr. Jeremiah Bearss discuss new findings from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden that suggest a significant increase in cancer diagnoses shortly after the onset of anemia. They explore what “incident anemia” means, why iron deficiency is the most common cause, and the many possible reasons someone may become anemic. The conversation also highlights how to interpret risk. While the relative increase may be high, understanding what that means in absolute terms is critical for context. This episode breaks down the data, what it may signal, and why changes in the body should not be ignored.
