Feel Better, Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee

This show has helped to play a big part in improving the physical, mental, and social dimensions of my life. I always take a number of insights away from the conversations with the guests Dr. Chatterjee has on.

So, I do like the reach and variety of information, HOWEVER, I am no longer sure that the advice from this podcast is safe and effective. Is he actually a medical doctor? I am asking, because he has a lot of questionable sponsors, and often there seems to be a severely biased lean to the studies highlighted. I don’t know if he is right or wrong about anything, but I do think people should check with their own medical professionals before they make decisions based on what they hear on a podcast.

Topics can be interesting, but the one thing that always ruins it for me is Dr Chatterjee’s obsession with sugar. I know sugar is like a drug and a major issue, but he always, over and over again, reduces people’s behavior to “eating too much sugar”. Even in the episode about workplace relationships - problem with a coworker? And that is why people eat too much sugar. Any problem one can have leads to “eating too much sugar” in his eyes. Untrue, often irrelevant, and unhelpful. Also, constantly plugging in his books and talking louder than guests. Can do better.

Best wellness topics! You will never be disappointed with any episode. Good stuff!
