In this 2nd episode of the 3rd season, the hosts discuss various innovative health trends while having a great laugh and fun with:
- Mo's best Tony Robbins impersonation.
- The medical urgency when Dr. Keith runs out of ADHD medication.
- Dogs & Cats as pen palls.
- Foodporn making you healthier
- 'Poem'cetamol and bath bombs
- The worrying demand for sausages
But there was also some seriousness about recent trends and innovations, of course:
Mo introduces a "living band-aid" developed at the University of Chicago, which integrates living bacteria and electronic sensors to help heal wounds more effectively. Christophe talks about Sweden's plans to create state-owned pharmaceutical manufacturers to prevent drug shortages, supported by the EU for Health program. Dr. Keith shares a story about the Youth and Pet Survivors program, where children undergoing cancer treatment write letters to pets facing similar conditions to support their emotional well-being. They also discuss Tony Robbins' new luxury wellness and longevity resort chain, highlighting the emergence of medical tourism and its impact on healthcare access and equity.
The episode ends with a discussion about well-being, emphasizing the importance of balance. Christophe refers to Lululemon's recent well-being report, which reveals that increased focus on well-being does not necessarily lead to improved health and often causes stress. The conversation highlights that personal well-being is not solely about constant improvement but also about our aspirations in life: acceptance, prevention, and enjoyment of life.
