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.

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.

Going to the doctor can be some scary business, whether you have medical anxiety or not.

Mindfulness, yoga, mantras—even wellness apps! We hear about all these ways to center ourselves, especially in relation to the practice of meditation. But what is actually considered meditation? What benefits do we see from it? Raj and Noah chat with Dr. Rashmi Bismark, a preventive medicine physician with an expertise in public health and meditation, about all things meditation and how you can bring the practice into your life.
