The supplement craze does not seem to be going anywhere, but it does seem harder and harder to know when, which, and if you should be taking any. From creatine to Vitamin D, there are a million things that we are told we should be taking to make us healthier, but are they all really helping us? Luckily, Raj and Noah are joined by just the guy to help us unpack this complicated world: chef, dietician, and behavioral scientist, Dr. Wesley McWhorter. Oh, and he’s a cookbook author and Food as Medicine Expert.
Why do we dream? What even is a dream? And can we control our dreams? Those are just a couple of the questions surrounding the mystery that is dreaming. Today, Raj and Noah dive into the murky dreamworld with postdoctoral fellow in the Cambridge Consciousness and Cognition Laboratory, Karen Konkoly, where she explores consciousness in the dreaming brain and specializes in lucid dreaming, to find out what dreams are really made of.
Taking a trip by oneself can be a fulfilling way to see the world, but it can also be daunting if you’re used to traveling with friends or family. Luckily, Raj and Noah have THE travel expert to help us get into going places solo. Blogger, author, and a traveler who has visited every country in the world, Jessica Nabongo shares some of her tips and tricks that she's picked up over the years, in hopes that we can find joy in exploring the world solo as well.
Going to the doctor can be some scary business, whether you have medical anxiety or not. Today, Raj and Noah are joined by Dr. Milna Rufin, internist and Clinic Director of the Residents program at NYU Langone, who helps us learn how to make the most of our (hopefully) annual doctors’ visits, and what we could be doing better to get better care.

How can we approach snacking in a way that keeps us sated, but also isn’t a bad habit? Well, today Raj and Noah are joined by Dr. Maya Vadiveloo to chat through exactly that. Here’s to better snacking!
