Customer Reviews
Very informative show, audio is now great
Your Health Quickly is a very informative show, well researched, and firmly rooted in the latest scientific findings. The show producers are very responsive to listener input. Audio quality of recent episode was great.
Too cute, trying to hard.
I don’t like to change the format. They’re going for cuteness. Silly Hass happiness. Talking down to the listener. Too much giggling. Especially in this last episode about animal communication. I’ll keep listening. But hope it finds a balance between what it was, and what it has become.
Can’t wait for more
Loving the relaunch of this pod and can’t wait to see where it goes. Great info, great hosts, and great fun!
