  • Ep. 28 - Medically Broke
    Sep 2 2025

    In this episode of Pharmaphobic we sit down for a health variety show Oprah style minus the Illuminati. We dig into the wild reality of medical debt, overpriced prescriptions and why our healthcare system feels more like sick care than true wellness.

    We talk about how healthcare has grown into the largest industry in America bigger than food bigger than defense and what that really means for us. We share our thoughts on why costs are so high, how the patent process keeps drug prices inflated and why so many people are bankrupt because of medical bills.

    From zone two cardio to strength training we also tackle fitness advice gone wrong especially for women in their forties and fifties. We break down why low intensity movement and proper nourishment matter more than fad workouts or undereating. And of course we add our own stories, humor and real life experiences along the way.

    At the end of the day our message is simple: the best way to control healthcare costs is to need less of it. Take care of your body, fuel yourself properly and approach health with common sense not gimmicks.

    Stay pharma free.

  • Ep. 27 - The Prescription Problem
    Aug 26 2025

    In this episode of Pharmaphobic we dive into the reality that most Americans will spend nearly half their lives on prescription medications. We talk about how men are typically on prescriptions by age forty and women by age fifteen starting with birth control and antidepressants and how that often leads straight into polypharmacy.

    We share our perspective on the cycle of managing instead of solving health issues, the money driving Big Pharma and why side effects are really just effects that add up over time. We also break down the lifestyle choices and prevention steps that can change the trajectory of your health so you don’t end up chained to a pill organizer for decades.

    Of course we also introduce you to our new rescue pup Maggie because dog love is good medicine too.

    We are here to ask the questions no one else is asking and to remind you that staying pharma free isn’t just possible, it's freedom.

  • Ep. 26 - Listener Q&A: Boosting Testosterone and Breaking Fitness Myths
    Aug 19 2025

    We are diving into one of the most common questions we get - how to naturally boost testosterone and when (or if) TRT makes sense. From military workouts and CrossFit burnout to overtraining, stress, poor sleep, and nutrition gaps, we share the habits that wreck your hormones and the smarter choices that can get them back on track. We also unpack fitness beliefs we once swore by but have since tossed out, the health habits that made the biggest difference in our lives, and the wellness trends we love… and the ones we call partial BS. This is a raw, practical conversation about training smarter, eating for real nourishment, and keeping your health foundation solid before you chase the flashy stuff.
