In this rerun of episode #281, hosts Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh interview neurologist-psychiatrist Dr. Jonathan Howard, author of We Want Them Infected. Dr. Howard critiques the widely discussed “herd immunity via infection” strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic. He draws on his dual specialties and hospital experience at institutions like NYU Langone Medical Center and Bellevue Hospital to explore how public health policy, vaccine deployment, lockdowns, school closures, and early treatment approaches intersected — sometimes with unintended consequences. The episode highlights ethical questions around using children as vectors of infection, the tension between hospital frontline realities and broad public-health strategies, and the importance of open discussion in medicine rather than censorship.

Beyond Labels: A Powerful Night of Truth & Hope About Mental Health brought together leading medical and mental health professionals to uncover how today's healthcare system profits from lifelong patients instead of healing them. Hosted by Dr. Ben, with keynote speakers Dr. Tim Hindmarsh and Dr. Roger McFillin, the event revealed the hidden incentives behind mental health diagnoses and prescriptions—and the spiritual, emotional, and practical tools for breaking free.Dr. Hindmarsh, co-host of BS Free MD, shared his inside view of how the healthcare system transformed from saving lives to monetizing chronic illness. He exposed how government programs, insurance metrics, and pharmaceutical influence have turned human suffering into a business model—and how true healing requires reclaiming personal responsibility and autonomy.Dr. McFillin, clinical psychologist and host of The Radically Genuine Podcast, offered a powerful counter-narrative to the chemical imbalance myth. He explored the spiritual and energetic roots of mental health, the dangers of over-medication, and how emotions like pain and fear are not disorders but messages guiding us toward purpose and truth.Together, they delivered an urgent wake-up call: to move beyond fear, beyond dependency, and beyond labels—toward a world where healing begins with awareness, connection, and sovereignty over one's mind, body, and soul.

In this episode, Drs. May and Tim welcome two unconventional voices shaking up medicine—Dr. Jeremy Ayres, known internationally as “Dr. Jeremy,” and producer-turned-health advocate John Gusty. Jeremy shares his remarkable path from osteopath to holistic healer, revealing the mentors and moments that shaped his philosophy of true medicine—healing that empowers the body rather than fights it. John recounts how his wife's diagnosis of multiple sclerosis led him to question everything he knew about health, industry, and truth, ultimately finding hope through Jeremy's guidance. Together, they expose the overlap between media influence and medical control, explaining how societal conditioning keeps people sick and dependent. Their message is simple yet radical: healing begins when we reclaim curiosity, question dogma, and return to the natural intelligence of the human body.
Triple-board-certified anesthesiologist and pain-management specialist Dr. Akash Bajaj joins May and Tim Hindmarsh to share his journey from traditional pain medicine to functional and regenerative care. He recalls being a 9/11 first responder, his shift away from opioid-based practice, and how therapies like PRP and stem-cell injections are transforming recovery for patients.

In this episode of BS Free MD, Drs. Tim and May Hindmarsh welcome John Burke, New York Times best-selling author of Imagine Heaven and Imagine the God of Heaven. Burke shares his remarkable 35-year journey from agnostic engineer to pastor and researcher of more than 1,500 near-death experiences.He describes how modern medical resuscitation has made NDEs more common—and how these firsthand accounts, from Hindus to atheists to Christians, consistently reveal the same divine presence: a God of light, love, and compassion.Through gripping stories, Burke recounts verifiable cases—patients describing operating room events while clinically dead, blind individuals who could “see” for the first time, and cross-cultural experiences that all point toward the same radiant being. He also explores the profound moral lessons people return with—love over status, kindness over success—and how these glimpses of eternity reshape how we live today.Guest BioJohn Burke is a New York Times best-selling author, pastor, and speaker who has spent more than 35 years researching over 1,500 near-death experiences (NDEs) to better understand what they reveal about the afterlife. He is the author of six books, including the internationally acclaimed Imagine Heaven and Imagine the God of Heaven, which explore the striking parallels between modern NDEs and the descriptions of heaven found in scripture.A former agnostic and engineer by training, John's own journey toward faith began when he encountered the earliest research on NDEs while his father was dying of cancer. That curiosity led him to decades of study and eventually to founding Gateway Church in Austin, Texas, a multi-site congregation created as a safe space for skeptics and seekers.Today, John and his wife Kathy focus on their writing and outreach ministry, helping people across all faiths explore life's biggest questions. His work has inspired millions to consider the evidence for an afterlife and the boundless love of the God who awaits us there.Website: www.imagineheaven.net Books: Imagine Heaven, Imagine the God of Heaven, No Perfect People Allowed GET SOCIAL WITH US!
Molecular-medicine expert Dr. Nathan Bryan explains how nitric oxide (NO) protects the endothelium, drives vasodilation, and influences energy, immunity, hormones, and longevity. He links stubborn hypertension and poor exercise tolerance to the microbiome–NO axis and outlines common NO killers—antiseptic mouthwashes and fluoride overuse, chronic PPIs, ultra-processed diets, and inactivity. We cover practical restores (movement, nutrient-dense food, targeted micronutrients, careful PPI weaning, ditching antiseptic rinses) and preview clinical work on NO-releasing lozenges for ischemic heart disease, approaches to improve cerebral blood flow and insulin signaling in cognitive decline, and topical NO for chronic wounds. Bryan also touches on food quality (glyphosate, soil health), hormone synergy with NO, and NO-based skincare that supports perfusion and collagen. Bottom line: rebuild NO, and the body's own repair systems can finally do their job.(Educational only; not personal medical advice.)Guest BioNathan S. Bryan, PhD is a molecular medicine researcher and leading authority on nitric oxide (NO) biochemistry. Over two decades, he has mapped how the body generates and uses NO—and what happens when it doesn't—publishing widely, authoring multiple books, and translating discoveries into products and late-stage drug trials. His work spans cardiovascular health, metabolism, neurocognition, wound healing, and skin biology, with a focus on restoring NO as a foundation for repair. Dr. Bryan speaks globally on NO and leads development of NO-based therapeutics targeting ischemic heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and non-healing ulcers. GET SOCIAL WITH US!
Chris Cooksey's story is one of grit, crashes, and comeback. Once a competitive motocross racer, Chris faced years of repeated concussions and the silent toll of traumatic brain injury. Like many athletes, he watched friends struggle with depression and even suicide, recognizing the urgent need to explore alternative treatments beyond pills and standard protocols.In this conversation, Chris opens up about his personal path to healing, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and ketamine therapy. He describes how these interventions helped reopen neural pathways, restoring emotional connection and impulse control after years of numbness and frustration. Chris also speaks candidly about the culture of denial in motocross, where head injuries are often minimized and riders are pushed back on the track too soon.Beyond racing, Chris has built a career as a journalist, media personality, and real estate professional, using his platform to shed light on brain health, challenge entrenched systems, and advocate for mental resilience. His journey highlights the intersection of high-risk sports, mental health awareness, and the courage to find unconventional paths to recovery.GUEST BIOChris Cooksey is a former professional motocross racer turned journalist, media personality, and real estate professional.

Drs. Tim and May tackle a wild week of stories blending medicine, politics, and cultural insanity. They kick off with the Tylenol–autism debate reignited by Trump's comments and the social media meltdown that followed. The discussion pivots to how much of a physician's or teacher's personal life should impact their career, with jaw-dropping stories: an anesthesiologist leaving mid-surgery for a “comfort break” with a nurse, a teacher protesting topless outside her school, and another busted for cocaine after a drug dog sniffed her purse.The conversation sharpens with Jimmy Kimmel's controversial comments about Charlie Kirk, his temporary show suspension, and whether his downfall is cancel culture or simple consequence culture. They also play raw, shocking clips of medical professionals expressing hate, contrasting it with Erika Kirk's powerful forgiveness after her husband's assassination. The episode closes with a parable about eagles and crows—urging listeners to rise higher above the noise, responding with grace, strength, and truth while holding the line on consequences.GET SOCIAL WITH US!
In this rerun of Doctales with Cocktails, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh open with the refrain we've all heard—“safe and effective”—and ask whether corporate medicine is quietly redefining what “care” even means. The headliner: Pfizer's new “Pfizer for All” direct-to-consumer platform. Tim argues it's not healthcare—it's a sales funnel. Today it triages conditions that match Pfizer's catalog; tomorrow, he says, the costly human licensure bottleneck gets replaced by an “AI clinician” that nudges you to brand-name meds while you click through a waiver. Convenience wins, competition loses, and patients become customers in a closed loop.They jump to a free-speech eyebrow-raiser: a criminal probe in Germany over a social-media insult about a politician's weight. The point isn't to be crass; it's to ask where the line lands when governments police speech—and how quickly platforms and policy spill into medical discourse itself.Then comes the jaw-dropper: a major hospital allegedly lost a patient's skull flap after life-saving surgery—then billed him for the custom replacement. It's darkly comic until you remember it's someone's head. The takeaway is simple: systems built for billing and throughput don't always serve human beings.Finally, marketing meets medicine with Barbie-branded kids' vitamins and “bedtime essentials.” Are cleaner ingredients good? Sure. But the pink glass bottles, sticker sheets, and stacked subscriptions highlight a trend: solving lifestyle with labels and gummies instead of habits and food. As Tim & May sip Florida vodka and swap storm stories, the thread through every segment is the same—when profit drives the platform, patients need sharper BS detectors than ever.GET SOCIAL WITH US!
This episode dives into the world of glutathione with Dr. Nayan Patel, a pharmacist and wellness innovator who has spent decades researching how to make this essential antioxidant bioavailable. Dr. Patel explains why glutathione is critical for detoxification, slowing aging, boosting energy, and protecting against disease, yet has long been overlooked in medical training. The conversation covers his journey from pharmacy school to developing breakthrough delivery methods, why traditional IV and oral methods often fail, and how oxidative stress connects to nearly every chronic disease. With relatable analogies—from rusting cars to NFL offensive lines—Drs. May and Tim make the science both accessible and entertaining. Whether you're a physician, a health enthusiast, or simply curious about longevity, this rerun delivers an eye-opening look at how glutathione could change the way we age and heal.GUEST BIONayan Patel, PharmD, is a leading pharmacist, researcher, and wellness pioneer who has dedicated more than two decades to studying glutathione, the body's master antioxidant. Since 1999, he has worked alongside physicians, celebrities, CEOs, and patients worldwide, designing personalized therapies and advancing antioxidant research.

In this BS Free MD “Truth Bomb” rerun, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh dive into the messy realities of family planning—and not the kind you're thinking of. They reflect on seasons of life, moving away from family roots, raising kids without nearby relatives, and how family dynamics shift as generations relocate. Tim shares powerful immigrant stories about communities that once moved together as a unit, contrasting that with today's fragmented approach to family and place. Together, they wrestle with whether staying close to family builds stronger bonds—or if leaving is the best way to grow. Their takeaway? Life happens, plans change, and adaptability is key when it comes to family, home, and identity.GET SOCIAL WITH US!

We all lived through it, but some stories still stop us in our tracks. Tim and May rewind the clock to those surreal pandemic years—the rules that made no sense, the heartbreaks that still sting, and the lessons we can't afford to forget.You'll laugh with us at the sand-filled California skatepark and shake your head at the “safest sex” guidelines recommending glory holes (yes, really). You'll sit with us in the grief of not being able to attend a parent's funeral. And you'll hear what it was like, as doctors, to watch trust in medicine unravel in real time.But this episode isn't just about what was lost. It's about the fork in the road we face now: rebuilding trust, rethinking how we practice medicine, and remembering that humility, honesty, and humanity matter more than ever.Episode Highlights
Drs. May and Tim kick things off with lighthearted banter about Canadian quirks, freedom, and firearms—using crime statistics from Florida and Saskatoon to challenge the assumption that gun control automatically reduces violence. They highlight how cultural and demographic differences play a bigger role than blanket policies.The conversation then pivots to Netflix's documentary You Are What You Eat, which followed 21 sets of identical twins over eight weeks on vegan vs. omnivore diets. While Netflix framed it as groundbreaking science, Tim and May poke holes in the study's limited size and duration, questioning the sweeping claims about vegan superiority. They explore what the data really shows, from muscle mass gains with meat to marginal improvements in cholesterol and sexual arousal on plant-based diets. Their critique cuts through the noise, pointing out how corporate farming and environmental talking points get mixed into the health narrative—often overshadowing deeper truths about carbs, sugar, and lifestyle.GET SOCIAL WITH US!
When Dr. Roger McFillin first stepped into a children's psychiatric hospital, he was shocked by what he witnessed—kids as young as five being medicated into compliance, their trauma overlooked, and their humanity reduced to labels and prescriptions. That moment set him on a decades-long journey to expose the truth about America's mental health system.In this conversation, Dr. McFillin joins Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh to challenge some of the deepest assumptions in psychiatry—from the “chemical imbalance” myth to the widespread drugging of normal emotional responses like grief, fear, and anxiety. He shares gripping stories from his work with traumatized children, teens in the juvenile justice system, and adults on multiple psychiatric drugs, raising hard questions about informed consent, resilience, and what true healing looks like.This isn't just an interview—it's a raw, honest look at how our culture medicalizes suffering, why that's dangerous, and how reclaiming struggle and resilience may be the real path forward. Whether you're a physician, a patient, or simply someone searching for truth, this episode will stay with you.Rapid Fire TakeawaysWhy the “chemical imbalance” theory never held up to scienceHow normal human suffering became pathologized as “disorder”Why informed consent is missing in psychiatric prescribingThe difference between short-term crisis meds vs. long-term harmHow resilience, not over-medicalization, is the real path to healingAbout the GuestDr. Roger McFillin, PsyDClinical psychologist, writer, and host of The Radically Genuine Podcast.

They dissect the hype around anti-aging books and wellness fads—from Outlive by Peter Attia to the extreme regimens of tech millionaires like Brian Johnson—and ask: Is it all just a marketing scam?Tim rants about the absurdity of titles like Young Forever and How Not to Age, while May reflects on the emotional toll of chronic health issues that make those promises feel out of reach. They argue that true wellness isn't about chasing immortality, but about optimizing your lifestyle to enjoy what you love for as long as you can.Along the way, they call out:Biohacking cultsTechno-paganismCold plunge fads (yes, they predict you'll see them at garage sales soon)The spiritual emptiness of trying to live foreverInstead, they offer a refreshingly grounded take: move your body, sleep well, eat less junk, nurture your relationships, and do the fun stuff that lights you up.

What happens when the healthcare system built to treat illness leaves you lost when the crisis is over?At just 23, Chloe Harrouche was diagnosed with breast cancer. The treatments were aggressive but clear. The aftermath? Total confusion. No roadmap, no coordinated care, no guidance on how to reclaim her health—just a system optimized for disease, not wellness. So, Chloe decided to build the healthcare experience she wished had existed for her.In this BS Free MD episode, Chloe shares her deeply personal story, the cracks she encountered in the traditional medical system, and how it led her to launch The Lanby, a concierge medicine practice that merges conventional primary care with evidence-based wellness—all under one roof. We dive into everything from siloed care and the supplement rabbit hole to the real costs of reactive medicine and how the right provider can help you proactively build resilience and longevity.Whether you're a physician, a patient, or somewhere in between, this episode will shift the way you think about modern healthcare.What We Cover:Chloe's journey from bioengineering to CEO after a shocking breast cancer diagnosisWhy the “standard of care” ends when you still have 50+ years of life to planThe illusion of choice in the wellness industry—and the danger of DIY health plansWhat a truly personalized, coordinated care team should look likeWhy more supplements ≠ better health—and how real food still mattersHow The Lanby is helping patients prioritize prevention without the insurance gameThoughts on GLP-1s, hormone health, longevity hacks, and AI in medicineChloe's call to action: Stop waiting for a diagnosis to take your health seriouslyAbout the GuestChloe Harrouche is the founder and CEO of The Lanby, a concierge medicine practice that integrates primary care and wellness under one roof. Diagnosed with breast cancer at 23, Chloe experienced first hand the challenges patients must overcome to take control of their health. The healthcare system, designed to treat illness rather than prevent it, offered no guidance on how to preserve fertility, restore hormone balance, or reduce the risk of recurrence. Like so many patients, she turned to the wellness industry for answers—but instead of finding clarity, she spiraled into restrictive diets, unsupervised biohacking, and mounting confusion.What followed was a years-long struggle with infertility that proved even more complex and emotionally taxing than her cancer diagnosis. Despite seeing the best specialists, Chloe's wellness efforts—though well-intentioned—were siloed and working against her. The experience laid bare the urgent need for a new model of primary care: one that blends the best of conventional medicine with evidence-based wellness, delivered by a coordinated care team that knows your history, your risks, and your goals. That vision became The Lanby—a modern practice designed to provide integrative, proactive, and personalized care. Chloe's mission is simple: to spare others the confusion, loneliness, and trial-and-error that defined her journey, and to build the kind of healthcare experience she wished existed when she needed it mostRapid Fire TakeawaysChloe's go-to wellness habits: walking outside + a weekly phone-free resetThe one question she wishes more patients would ask their care teamWhy “real” presence—digital and physical—still matters in healthcareResources & Links
Ryan Heath, founder of The Gavel Project, joins BS Free MD for a powerful conversation on the intersection of law, medicine, and free speech. Heath shares updates on his high-profile lawsuit against the Arizona Association of Realtors—a case involving a realtor punished for posting political and faith-based memes. But this isn't just a real estate story. It's about how private organizations that control economic access—like medical boards and hospitals—can be held accountable for silencing professionals.Heath unpacks how this legal precedent could open the door for physicians disciplined over COVID opinions, vaccine hesitancy, or gender medicine dissent to fight back. From moral turpitude clauses to the dangers of woke medical groupthink, this episode explores how the erosion of free speech threatens the very foundation of good medical care.Our Advice!Everything in this podcast is for educational purposes only.

In this episode of BS Free MD, Dr. Susan Landers, a retired neonatologist with over 35 years of experience, talks about her career and her book "So Many Babies". May, Tim and Dr. Landers discuss the challenges of burnout and overwhelm faced by women in the workplace, not just physicians. Dr. Landers shares her experience of getting to retirement and the struggle with burnout. She also talks about the rewarding aspects of practicing neonatology, and how she got to know patients and their families very well. After retiring, Dr. Landers wrote a book based on her NICU stories, "So Many Babies". About Susan Landers: Dr. Landers is a retired neonatologist who practiced in the NICU for thirty-four years. When she joined a practice of nine males in 1997 she slowly brought them into the modern medical world by changing schedules to be more family friendly, talking about coping with sick children, and proved the benefits of hiring other women physicians. Dr. Landers volunteered for the AAP and served on the Section on Breastfeeding's executive committee for six years. She took a slight detour in her career and worked as the medical director of the Mother's Milk Bank at Austin and joined the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine. After she retired she wrote a memoir, “So Many Babies.” Are there any specific questions/talking points you would like to include?: What is a family friendly medical practice? How do women physicians accommodate breastfeeding after return to work? How do women physicians handle the demands of medical practice and burnout differently from men? Links!
