Not Your Doctor Podcast

Health EN ↓ 36 episodes

Not Your Doctor Podcast is a chatty, question-driven show hosted by three first-year doctors in the US and UK. Each week, we answer listener-submitted questions about health, wellness, and life. All the things you’ve Googled at 2 a.m. or felt too awkward to ask your friends, or even your actual doctor. We mix evidence, real-world experience, cultural context, and plenty of hot takes, all without the jargon or judgment. This is not medical advice. It’s honest conversation, thoughtful nuance, and doctors talking like people, for people. Send your listener questions to NotYourDoctorPod@gmail.com...
