About this listen

 Between Doctors and Friends is a cozy, candid podcast where a close-knit group of girlfriends -- who've shared life, laughter, love, and loss for over 30 years -- gather around the mic. Two of them are board-certified physicians, which means the conversations often take a thoughtful turn into health, wellness, and the quirky questions that pop up when you're lucky enough to have a doctor in your friend group. From “Is this supplement really doing anything?” to “Should I worry about that mole?” -- nothing’s off-limits. It’s not about medical lectures; it’s about real talk, heartfelt advice, and the kind of wisdom that only comes from friendship and experience. 💬👩‍⚕️☕ Disclaimer: Between Doctors and Friends is intended for entertainment and informational purposes only.
