Forever Chemicals with Dilara Hatinoglu (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Earlier this year, after broadcasting our episode with Dr. Jason Bara about microplastics, we got an email from a listener named Hank asking if we would consider doing an episode on forever chemicals. Turns out, these two things are often brought up together in conversation—they’re both pollutants, both a bit of a headache to get rid of, and both are indicative of the advancements of technology. As Dr. Bara said in our microplastics episode, there may never be a world where we completely stop th
Oral Health with Dr. Mia Geisinger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you get uncomfortable just thinking about going to the dentist, there's a word for that: dental anxiety. Research published in the Journal of the American Dental Association indicates that about 73% of U.S. adults hold some level of fear about dental work or oral health visits.

House Cat Health and Habits w/ Dr. Diane Delmain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The American Veterinary Medical Association says that roughly one third of all American homes have at least one house cat.

But have no fear-- we
Dermatology with Dr. Lauren Kole (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You've likely heard all about the new skin care trends taking over cosmetics stores. What used to be a process as simple as "wash your face before bed" is now a massive industry, with some facial washes, creams, scrubs and oils costing as much as a car payment! (google 'most expensive skin care' at your own risk) While a moisturizer infused with caviar is not a necessity, healthy skin practices can look different for people across all ages, economic backgrounds, ethnicities, and genders. Here to
Adoption and Foster Care with Dr. Brian Gannon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Multiple sources say that there are roughly 400,000 kids in the foster care system in the United States currently. There are some things that humans won't fully understand unless they live through them, and the processes surrounding adoption and foster care are likely included in those things. But taking super nuanced concepts and making them less scary to approach is what we do best here at Simplified! Dr. Brian Gannon is an associate professor in the department of pediatrics at The University
