If you've ever stared down the supplement aisle at the drugstore and left confused, this is the podcast for you. Dr. Edwards breaks down what you need to know about supplements, safety and everything else. Don't miss this one!

What if you could train your mind to be calmer, quieter, and less reactive? Dr. Scott explains how your brain responds to stress, why it's so hard to "just relax," and simple techniques that can help you take back control. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, everyday stress, or trouble sleeping, this conversation offers practical tools to help your mind—and body—slow down.

Mental health doesn't discriminate by age, but attitudes about getting help can vary greatly from one generation to the next. In this episode, Licensed Clinical Social Worker Megan Williams talks about why some people are reluctant to seek support, how those views are changing, and what you can do when someone you care about isn't sure they want help.

Now that summer is here, we asked General Surgeon Dr. Fred Scott to sit down with us and talk skin cancer and sun protection. He explains what we all need to know in plain, easy to understand terms! You'll never have to stare down a sunscreen aisle in confusion again!

Most people don’t think about their liver — until there’s a problem. In this episode of The Checkup, we’re talking about fatty liver disease: what it is, why it’s becoming more common, and how it can quietly develop without obvious symptoms.

Join us as we break down the risk factors, early warning signs, lifestyle habits that matter most, and simple steps you can take to protect your liver health before small issues become bigger ones. Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed, have questions about your risk, or just want to better understand your health, this conversation offers practical information without the overwhelm.

Because sometimes the health issues you don’t feel are the ones worth paying attention to most.
