Theo Fleury, celebrated Stanley Cup champion and Olympic gold medalist, joins the show to reflect on his extraordinary journey on and off the ice. Beyond his elite athletic achievements, Fleury shares how the refuge he found in hockey masked deep personal wounds from childhood trauma and later battles with addiction, identity, and mental health. Through honest, raw storytelling, he discusses the turning points in his life, insights from recovery, and how he now dedicates himself to helping others heal by promoting resilience, vulnerability, and purpose. Listeners gain a powerful look at how a champion’s greatest victories are often won away from the spotlight.

In this deeply personal episode, Tim and May reveal a journey they never expected to face: May is suffering from what appears to be long COVID — but not the typical version most people know about.

This is the story of three years of unexplained panic, insomnia, neurologic symptoms, autoimmune changes, GI flares, and a spike protein antibody level that stunned everyone: 12,000.

They open up about:

• How May’s health spiraled
• Why the symptoms were so hard to recognize
• The hidden link between long COVID + histamine problems
• The shock of recent lab results
• The complexity and confusion around treatment
• Where the story goes from here

If you or someone you love is suffering with strange, unexplained symptoms — anxiety, insomnia, diarrhea, panic spells, hot flashes, neurologic changes, autoimmune shifts, or sudden worsening illness — this episode may open doors you didn’t know existed.

This isn’t medical advice.

It’s real-life experience.

And it’s only the beginning.

As healthcare policy debates resurface across the country, this rerun takes listeners back to a foundational question: what does it actually mean to call healthcare a human right? Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh examine Oregon’s decision to enshrine access to healthcare in its constitution and explore the practical implications behind the promise. Rather than debating ideals in the abstract, they focus on the real-world consequences—how rights-based language collides with limited resources, clinical judgment, and physician autonomy. It’s a timely reminder that the words we use in healthcare policy carry weight, especially when they shape expectations for patients and doctors alike.

In this episode, Coach K dives deep into the psychology behind why some habits “stick” and others fizzle out. She explains that lasting change rarely comes from raw motivation alone — instead, it’s built through small, manageable routines that accumulate over time into real behavioral transformation.

Coach K shares personal stories of overcoming insecurity and stress, framing how mindset shifts and self-awareness laid the groundwork for her success. She emphasizes that creating habits isn’t just about productivity: it’s about self-regulation, managing mental energy, and reducing anxiety. By consistently showing up — even when motivation is low — small wins build up willpower and momentum.

The discussion also covers the importance of viewing time and energy differently: instead of seeing free time as wasted or unstructured, Coach K helps redefine breaks and downtime as restorative and necessary components of a sustainable workflow. She encourages listeners to think long-term: habits, not “go big or go home” bursts, are the backbone of lasting change.

Finally, Coach K presents her philosophy as a kind of “psychology meets habit engineering” approach. It’s not just about doing more — it’s about designing an environment, a schedule, and a mindset that support steady progress. For anyone feeling stuck in chaos or burnout, the lesson is simple but powerful: start small, build consistency, and let habits quietly reshape your life over time.

In this episode, Dr. Stillwagon shares the story of how his life in the cockpit collided with his concerns about vaccine safety and public health mandates. What starts as a pilot’s perspective on aviation protocols quickly shifts into a broader discussion about autonomy, transparency, and the pressure professionals faced during the mandate era. His journey from quiet observer to outspoken advocate paints a picture of someone who felt a responsibility to speak up, even when doing so came with consequences. It’s a look at conviction, controversy, and the complicated space where medicine and personal freedom meet.

In this episode, Dr. Mike Simpson shares how his years in military Special Operations forged the mindset, discipline, and empathy that now anchor his career in medicine. He opens up about transitioning from war zones to exam rooms, navigating identity shifts, and transforming high-pressure skills into meaningful patient care. It’s a relatable, human look at reinvention—and a reminder that our past experiences, even the toughest ones, can become our greatest strengths.

This Thanksgiving episode is a full-tilt ride through holiday chaos, Florida strangeness, and medical absurdities. Tim and May kick things off with memories of disastrous holiday meals — including wild turkeys marinated in whiskey and a Bengal cat that ate itself into a literal tryptophan coma. The conversation quickly detours into “Florida Man” headlines featuring drunken alligators, foot-mobile arrests, and fast-food robberies fueled by late-night hunger.

From there, they dive into the medical side: ICD-10 codes for turkey comas, overstuffed stomachs, and what happens when people put things where things are not meant to go. That leads to a brutally funny takedown of the bizarre mailers they’ve received since moving to Florida — including products promising to fix “vaginal odor,” boost intimacy, and balance microbiomes using bark extract and rose hips.

They wrap with a preview of upcoming podcast episodes, reflections on gratitude, and warnings about deep-fried turkey disasters, Black Friday injuries, and the perils of blood thinners during holiday shopping. It’s irreverent, warm, and all the way BS Free MD.

In this episode (recorded last year), Dr. Sabine Hazan, a gastroenterologist and microbiome researcher, joins the hosts of the BS Free MD Podcast to lay bare what she claims is a systemic problem: the undue influence of large pharmaceutical companies over medical research, regulatory bodies, publication of scientific data, and the shaping of public-health narratives.

She describes her own journey during the COVID-19 pandemic: attempting research on treatments (including microbiome related therapies, and alternative protocols) and encountering what she characterizes as institutional resistance—difficulty getting approvals, publishing studies, and even testifying to a congressional hearing. She argues that when corporate and regulatory interests become entangled, the integrity of science suffers, independent investigators are silenced or sidelined, and public trust erodes.
