In this episode: Getting a Florida medical license, becoming a Yogi, New Year's wellness trends…and the conclusion of Stranger Things.

We talk about the movies, TV and pop culture news that made our best of 2025 list! 

Plus, we discuss nominations in the new Golden Globe podcast category, and how AI was all the rage and is now being used to create deep fakes of doctors…including Dr. Cohen!

And, we end with happy-happy news: Dick Van Dyke turned 100 and shared his secret to longevity. 

We watched Doc, the TV show that begs the question...what happens when a doctor loses eight years of memories? Are they still considered a doctor? Luckily, there are real life answers. Doc is based on the true story of an Italian doctor that suffered from partial retrograde amnesia. We discuss all of this and more!

Royal Pains creator Andrew Lenchewski and actor Mark Feuerstein join the show! We discuss how a TV show about a concierge doctor went from network pitch to a successful eight-year run.

And, so much more…including Mark’s role on Sex and the City, his new movie Guns and Moses and utlizing Dr. Cohen as a script consultant.

In our spooky Halloween episode, we debate which medical news story could be turned into the best scary movie. We’ve got stories of twisted intestines, doctors left in remote destinations and so much more!

We watched Fit for TV (The Biggest Loser docuseries) and discussed some of the buzzy issues the series brings up...including caffeine pills, skin tightening, body dysmorphia, Rabdomolisis and making your health a priority.

Plus, Dr. Cohen details some of the behind-the-scenes direction he received while featured on the series Take My Tumor — and the reality of what you see on reality TV. 

The Pitt wins best drama at the Emmys, Noah Wyle finally takes home a prize after seven nominations, and Nurse Dana gets a statue too! We discuss all this and other highlights from Emmy night. PLUS, have you seen AKA Charlie Sheen? We have and we have some thoughts on Charlie's 'wild thing' lifestyle and road to recovery.

We are excited to have neurologist Dr. Lisa Cook on the show! We pick her brain about neurological diseases, including explaining things like frontotemporal dementia which Bruce Willis has, normal pressure hydrocephalus which Billy Joel recently cancelled his tour to seek treatment for, and why it’s so rare that Michael J. Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at 29 years-old.

Hey Gross Anatomy listeners, hope you enjoy this condensed "REWIND" interview with Dr. Robert Huizenga, who you might recognize as the medical consultant featured in Netflix's - Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser. 

We were fortunate to have Dr. Huizenga as one of our early guests and know first-hand how amazing he is! In this episode, he tells us about his journey from sports medicine, to author, to having Matthew Modine play him in Any Given Sunday, and of course...he gives us a little bit on The Biggest Loser.
