Drs. May and Tim kick things off with lighthearted banter about Canadian quirks, freedom, and firearms—using crime statistics from Florida and Saskatoon to challenge the assumption that gun control automatically reduces violence. They highlight how cultural and demographic differences play a bigger role than blanket policies.

The conversation then pivots to Netflix’s documentary You Are What You Eat, which followed 21 sets of identical twins over eight weeks on vegan vs. omnivore diets. While Netflix framed it as groundbreaking science, Tim and May poke holes in the study’s limited size and duration, questioning the sweeping claims about vegan superiority. They explore what the data really shows, from muscle mass gains with meat to marginal improvements in cholesterol and sexual arousal on plant-based diets. Their critique cuts through the noise, pointing out how corporate farming and environmental talking points get mixed into the health narrative—often overshadowing deeper truths about carbs, sugar, and lifestyle.

When Dr. Roger McFillin first stepped into a children’s psychiatric hospital, he was shocked by what he witnessed—kids as young as five being medicated into compliance, their trauma overlooked, and their humanity reduced to labels and prescriptions. That moment set him on a decades-long journey to expose the truth about America’s mental health system.

In this conversation, Dr. McFillin joins Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh to challenge some of the deepest assumptions in psychiatry—from the “chemical imbalance” myth to the widespread drugging of normal emotional responses like grief, fear, and anxiety. He shares gripping stories from his work with traumatized children, teens in the juvenile justice system, and adults on multiple psychiatric drugs, raising hard questions about informed consent, resilience, and what true healing looks like.

This isn’t just an interview—it’s a raw, honest look at how our culture medicalizes suffering, why that’s dangerous, and how reclaiming struggle and resilience may be the real path forward. Whether you’re a physician, a patient, or simply someone searching for truth, this episode will stay with you.

• Why the “chemical imbalance” theory never held up to science
• How normal human suffering became pathologized as “disorder”
• Why informed consent is missing in psychiatric prescribing
• The difference between short-term crisis meds vs. long-term harm
• How resilience, not over-medicalization, is the real path to healing

Dr. Roger McFillin, PsyD

Clinical psychologist, writer, and host of The Radically Genuine Podcast. He is also the Executive Director of the Center for Integrated Behavioral Health in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. With over two decades in the field, Dr. McFillin has become a leading voice challenging mainstream psychiatric practices and exposing the harms caused by over-diagnosis and over-prescription of psychiatric drugs.

In this fiery and brutally honest episode of BS Free MD, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh take aim at the billion-dollar longevity industry. They dissect the hype around anti-aging books and wellness fads—from Outlive by Peter Attia to the extreme regimens of tech millionaires like Brian Johnson—and ask: Is it all just a marketing scam?

Tim rants about the absurdity of titles like Young Forever and How Not to Age, while May reflects on the emotional toll of chronic health issues that make those promises feel out of reach. They argue that true wellness isn't about chasing immortality, but about optimizing your lifestyle to enjoy what you love for as long as you can.

Along the way, they call out:

• Biohacking cults
• Techno-paganism
• Cold plunge fads (yes, they predict you'll see them at garage sales soon)
• The spiritual emptiness of trying to live forever

Instead, they offer a refreshingly grounded take: move your body, sleep well, eat less junk, nurture your relationships, and do the fun stuff that lights you up. That’s real “healthspan.”

What if everything you thought you knew about vaccines was… incomplete?

In this unfiltered, eye-opening episode, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh sit down once again with cardiologist, internist, and epidemiologist Dr. Peter McCullough—this time to go deep into the rabbit hole of vaccine history, ideology, and the controversial myths we’ve stopped questioning.

From 18th-century pus-filled experiments to modern-day policies driven more by profit than evidence, McCullough pulls back the curtain on how public trust has been won—and lost—through fear, flawed science, and a whole lot of money.

They dive into:

📚 His new book Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology, and Reality
🦠 Why polio and smallpox might not be the heroes’ tales we think they are
🤯 Autism, febrile seizures, and the risks we’re not talking about
😡 The culture of silence and why questioning vaccines is treated like heresy
🧠 How faith—not science—is driving today’s vaccine policies

This one’s not for the faint of heart.
But it is for the curious, the cautious, and the ones who still believe in asking: What if we got it wrong?

• Why history—not headlines—should guide vaccine policy decisions
• The vaccine risk factor no one talks about: timing, stacking, and susceptible kids
• How medical groupthink silences even data-driven dissent

Dr. Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
Author of Courage to Face COVID-19: Preventing Hospitalization and Death While Battling the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex and Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology, and Reality

Dr. McCullough is an internist, cardiologist, and epidemiologist with degrees from Baylor University, the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, the University of Michigan, and Southern Methodist University. He has authored over 1,000 medical publications with more than 700 citations in the National Library of Medicine.

A well-known figure in both mainstream and independent media, Dr. McCullough is a frequent contributor to conversations about public health and has testified before the U.S. Senate, House of Representatives, European Parliament, and state legislatures.

In this episode, Tim and May ask a simple question: What if avoiding the sun is actually worse for your health?

They unpack a Swedish study that links low sun exposure to the same death risk as smoking, challenge dermatology dogma, and remind us why we’re solar-powered beings. It’s honest, irreverent, and a call to live fully—outside, under the sun.

This throwback to Episode 13 takes us back to April 1st, 2021, when May and Tim dropped one of the most hilarious—and believable—April Fools’ pranks in BS Free MD history. What starts as a tale of burnout, medicine, and career transition morphs into an out-of-this-world saga involving NASA recruiters, moon colony assignments, space intimacy experiments (yep, really), and zero-gravity puke. Whether you’re a longtime listener or just joining, this episode is pure comedy gold and classic BS Free MD storytelling.

What happens when the healthcare system built to treat illness leaves you lost when the crisis is over?

At just 23, Chloe Harrouche was diagnosed with breast cancer. The treatments were aggressive but clear. The aftermath? Total confusion. No roadmap, no coordinated care, no guidance on how to reclaim her health—just a system optimized for disease, not wellness. So, Chloe decided to build the healthcare experience she wished had existed for her.

In this BS Free MD episode, Chloe shares her deeply personal story, the cracks she encountered in the traditional medical system, and how it led her to launch The Lanby, a concierge medicine practice that merges conventional primary care with evidence-based wellness—all under one roof. We dive into everything from siloed care and the supplement rabbit hole to the real costs of reactive medicine and how the right provider can help you proactively build resilience and longevity.

Whether you’re a physician, a patient, or somewhere in between, this episode will shift the way you think about modern healthcare.

What We Cover:

• Chloe’s journey from bioengineering to CEO after a shocking breast cancer diagnosis
• Why the “standard of care” ends when you still have 50+ years of life to plan
• The illusion of choice in the wellness industry—and the danger of DIY health plans
• What a truly personalized, coordinated care team should look like
• Why more supplements ≠ better health—and how real food still matters
• How The Lanby is helping patients prioritize prevention without the insurance game
• Thoughts on GLP-1s, hormone health, longevity hacks, and AI in medicine
• Chloe’s call to action: Stop waiting for a diagnosis to take your health seriously

About the Guest

Chloe Harrouche is the founder and CEO of The Lanby, a concierge medicine practice that integrates primary care and wellness under one roof. Diagnosed with breast cancer at 23, Chloe experienced first hand the challenges patients must overcome to take control of their health. The healthcare system, designed to treat illness rather than prevent it, offered no guidance on how to preserve fertility, restore hormone balance, or reduce the risk of recurrence. Like so many patients, she turned to the wellness industry for answers—but instead of finding clarity, she spiraled into restrictive diets, unsupervised biohacking, and mounting confusion.

What followed was a years-long struggle with infertility that proved even more complex and emotionally taxing than her cancer diagnosis. Despite seeing the best specialists, Chloe’s wellness efforts—though well-intentioned—were siloed and working against her. The experience laid bare the urgent need for a new model of primary care: one that blends the best of conventional medicine with evidence-based wellness, delivered by a coordinated care team that knows your history, your risks, and your goals. That vision became The Lanby—a modern practice designed to provide integrative, proactive, and personalized care. Chloe’s mission is simple: to spare others the confusion, loneliness, and trial-and-error that defined her journey, and to build the kind of healthcare experience she wished existed when she needed it most

• Chloe’s go-to wellness habits: walking outside + a weekly phone-free reset
• The one question she wishes more patients would ask their care team
• Why “real” presence—digital and physical—still matters in healthcare

Pour a drink—this week’s Doctales with Cocktails gets spicy. Tim opens with NASCAR’s long, messy dance with diversity: from Drive for Diversity to Bubba Wallace calling out team dynamics, Kyle Larson’s hot-mic history, Danica Patrick’s marketability, and why fixing past racism can create new moral hazards when race and performance get mixed in the same bucket.

Then we swerve into home-improvement land: Chip & Joanna Gaines’ new series features two married dads with surrogate kids—lighting up evangelical comment threads over gay parenting, surrogacy, and what “trad values” actually mean when your brand is Christian-cozy Magnolia.

Crack the bourbon, hit play, and jump in the comments—we want to know: fan…or flinging turds?

Scrotum Botox, AI preachers, and emotional outbursts on Facebook — just another night with Drs. Tim and May. In this unfiltered episode of Doctales with Cocktails, the duo tackles how cosmetic fads and digital distractions reveal something deeper: a society starved for truth, peace, and real connection. It’s laugh-out-loud funny, uncomfortably honest, and surprisingly grounding.

What happens when a tech strategist steps into the emotionally charged world of pediatric vaccines? You get VAX Calc, and a no-BS conversation that shakes the foundations of medical conformity.

In this episode, Tim and May sit down with Chris Downey, founder of VAX Calc and former NVIC volunteer, to unpack the chaos of vaccine discourse. Drawing from over two decades in software and systems design, Chris shares how he built VAX Calc to give parents real agency in their child’s healthcare — without scare tactics or censorship.

You’ll hear how AI can humanize medicine, how character-based tools like “Tony” help parents navigate power dynamics in the exam room, and why true informed consent requires courage — not compliance. This isn’t just a tech solution. It’s a wake-up call for patients and practitioners alike.

From disappearing data to the dangers of dogma, we explore:

• Why vaccine risk info is buried — and how Chris is preserving it
• The flaws in the “trust your doctor” narrative
• How AI can empower patients rather than replace providers
• What pediatric visits have in common with mob tactics (yes, Tony explains)
