This week Mike and Chris bring another infectious episode (get it?) about some very private conditions.

We talk about herpes, syphillis, gonorrhea and more exciting infections. What they look like, how to avoid getting them and what to do about them.

So put on something protective and get in there!

Can you take so much of a supplement that it actually starts to do harm? Of course you can, that's a silly question!

In today's episode we will review some of the supplements that have the potential to do harm when you take too much of them and discuss what could possibly happen if you do.

In today's arousing episode we get deep into the ins and outs of libido. Low libido is a common complaint we see in practice. And many people blame themselves leading to shame, stress, worry and anxiety, all of which compound the problem. Today we get to the root of what makes libido go up or down? Are there ways to boost it naturally? And is there such a thing as too much libido?

Helicobacter pylori is a sneaky and persistent gram negative bacteria that has been associated with peptic ulcer disease, acid reflux and stomach cancer. Oh, and also it is probably inside you right now. Where does it come from and what can we do about it? Is it a cause or an effect of poor digestion? And, would you swallow a glass of H. pylori juice for a Nobel prize? (Spoiler...somebody did!) Let's find out!!

We've got a new Food Guide here in Canada so what could be more fun than a couple of NDs reviewing a government dictum on Health? This new food guide is a big step forward for Canada. Gone are the food pyramids and rainbows, confusing serving sizes and even the 4 foodgroups we have been taught to know and love. Canada takes a stand against industry lobby groups in the latest iteration fow what may just be the best food guide so far.

Here's what people are saying: "This could be a turning point in Health" - Mike Frosina. And, "Some people on this podcast aren't very smart." - Chris Pickrell. Enjoy!

Licorice: red, stringy, tasty candy. Or, a medical root that's been used for nearly 4000 years? 

Today we chew into the sweet details of this herb and discuss what we know it does and doesn't do for you. Will it really save us all?

Today Mike and Chris talk about relationships and answer (mostly) real questions about love, dating and relationships in general. What to look for and look out for in the people we pair with.  Is monogamy really possible and what's this new-old thing I hear about a courtship model of dating? Once a cheater, always a cheater? Let's talk honestly about our feelings...

As everyone knows, laughter can cure every disease every time. On today's show, Chris and Mike dish out a hearty dose of this special panacea while they discuss the medical application and prescription of humour and laughter. Why does laughter make us feel better? It isnt all in our heads, there are many physiological changes happening every time we smile and laugh. So sit down on the floor and listen up, otherwise you will probably fall out of your chair laughing. We guarantee you'll feel better.

Debate! What's the role of Evidence in Medicine? in clinical practice? How informed do we need to be in order to best serve the people we work with? Can we really trust the experts? And should Naturopathic medicine adhere to Best Practices guidelines? So much to settle on tonight's show...

Me-stachian or Eustachian? This week Mike and Chris bubble about ear infections. Giving you the low-down on one of the most common conditions, especially for children. 

Should you really jam a clove of garlic in your canal? It might not do anything, but we think it'd be fun to try. What role do antibiotics and antiinflammatories play? What are these "Naturopathic Drops" I've heard of? Y'ear in for a good one today.
