Show Notes
Medical anthropologist Sydney Ross Singer joins Shawn Buckley to examine how common cultural practices contribute to chronic illness. Drawing on his background in biochemistry, anthropology, and medical training, Singer introduces the concept of “culturogenic” diseases — conditions driven by lifestyle and cultural norms rather than genetics. In this eye-opening discussion, they explore the health impacts of tight clothing and bras on lymphatic drainage and breast health, the problems with sleeping flat, the effects of restrictive shoes and socks, and other everyday habits that impair circulation and immunity. Singer makes a powerful case for questioning practices that prioritize fashion and profit over human physiology. This episode challenges conventional medical thinking and offers practical steps for better health through informed lifestyle choices.
