Why the Loudest Health Advice Is Usually the Worst with Kaveh Hoda, MD

from The Health Feast · host Dr. Rak

Two doctors, no filter. My friend Kaveh Hoda, MD (gastroenterologist and host of The House of Pod) and I get into why the loudest voices in health are usually the least trustworthy, what supplement companies never have to prove, and the three questions I use with my patients to reorganize a whole health life. We recorded this over a year ago for his show, and I am finally releasing it on mine, because when something is true, it stays true. And because it is Kaveh, we laugh the entire way through.In this episode:Why the loudest health advice grows fastest, and why real medicine sounds boring"Expensive urine" and what actually shows up in liver clinicsThe three most important questions: experience, growth, contributionWhy habits fail when your life keeps changingThe carnivore diet, the manosphere, and why fiber is your friendChapters:0:00 Intro, the certainty trap1:49 Why the loudest health advice wins3:58 Supplements, false hope, and expensive urine9:11 The three most important questions10:27 Question 1, what do I want to experience?17:49 Question 2, how do I want to grow?22:46 The exercise and weight loss trap25:53 F3, community, and loneliness34:57 Question 3, how do I want to contribute?39:35 A foodie's case for eating more plants54:57 The carnivore takedownFind Kaveh: The House of Pod, anywhere you get your podcasts, and on Bluesky @KavehMD.The Health Feast is where health stops feeling like a chore and starts feeling like a joyful and abundant feast.
