This Might Sting

This Might Sting
Podcast Description
It’s getting harder and harder to figure out what’s good for us and what’s not. There’s too much information out there - and a lot of it is totally fact-free. You hear so much about what is and isn’t healthy - is cheese safe? Does wine cure heart disease? - and it feels like everyone has a syndrome or a disorder or a diagnosis.Each week, our hosts - Dr. Aidan Baron and Julie McCrossin AM - will discuss the latest health news with experts to bring you a healthy dose of Normal. Side effects may include: reduced feelings of existential dread; knowing what to actually ask your doctor to get real answers; the confidence to distinguish between fact and fiction; and reduced inflammation of the bowel. (It’s rare but we’re told it happens.)
