While we usually focus on physical and mental health on this show, in this episode, we're talking about financial health. Most of the stress in this country is caused by money and financial woes.

So today we’re welcoming popular podcast host of Be Smart and bestselling financial author Jared Dillian to the show.

In the early 2000s, Jared routinely traded over a billion dollars a day as the head of ETF trading at Lehman Brothers. His memoir covering that period, Street Freak: Money and Madness at Lehman Brothers, was named Businessweek’s #1 general business book in 2011. And his first novel, All the Evil of This World, was published in 2016.

Today, hundreds of thousands of people regularly read Jared’s work, which includes three investment newsletters—The Daily Dirtnap, Street Freak, and ETF 20/20—along with two weekly e-letters, The 10th Man and The Jared Dillian Letter.

In this episode, Dr. Roizen talks about the latest health headlines that YOU need to know. 

 

Superfoods, right brain versus left brain, lungs of the planet—these and other commonly shared pop-science phrases are certainly catchy and all-to-quick to trend online. But they are also often wrong (or at least not quite right). These shorthand analogies, memes, and buzzwords distort the actual science and leave out key details, leading readers to develop a misunderstanding of the world around them.

In The Stickler’s Guide to Science in the Age of Misinformation, R. Philip Bouchard takes a closer look at 13 pervasive scientific untruths—tackling a range of topics from gravity and radiation to global warming and pandemics—and humorously and accessibly shares the real science behind them. You’ll learn why trees do not “store” carbon dioxide, why DNA is not really the “blueprint of life”, and why a day is not actually 24 hours.

Philip Bouchard is a lifelong “natural science nerd” with a track record of creating successful educational media. As a software engineer and educator, he designed the famous 1985 computer game The Oregon Trail, which went on to sell 65 million copies. Smithsonian magazine called the game "a cultural landmark” and TIME named it as one of the best ten videogames of all time. Bouchard holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in botany from the University of Georgia and the University of Texas at Austin.

Each year, Americans consume food products that contain heavy metals, pesticides, and harmful additives—with the blessing of the FDA. Why is this happening and why haven’t you heard about it? In Unsafe at Any Meal, Dr. Renee Dufault, former food investigator for the Food and Drug Administration, provides startling answers.

While at the FDA, Dr. Dufault discovered toxic mercury residue in the plumbing systems of food manufacturing plants and in processed foods sold in supermarkets. When Dr. Dufault revealed these disturbing findings to her superiors, she was told to stop her investigation. She retired early and devoted her energy to making the public aware of the insidious dangers that contaminate our food. To expose what still seems to be a well-kept secret by the FDA, she has written Unsafe at Any Meal to provide consumers with the information they need to know.

Dr. Dufault joins us this episode to discuss her incredible career, findings, and book.
