Health Talk America with Dr Adam Brockman

The Nine-Dollar Answer

A generic pill that's been sitting in pharmacies for decades may be quietly slowing down aging — and that's just the beginning of this hour. We tackle a listener's fight to rebuild muscle mass lost to GLP1 medication, name vitamin D our Health Alternative of the Week, and close with a Health Mystery nineteen years in the making — a diagnosis medicine kept missing, cracked open by a stranger watching television.

The Mother's Mouth: Why a Cavity at Four Predicts a Heart at Forty

A cavity in a four-year-old and an artery at forty — sounds impossible, until you see the research. Dr. Mark Cannon of Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine joins Dr. Adam Brockman for a conversation that starts before a baby's first tooth and reaches all the way into adult heart disease and diabetes. We cover the maternal microbiome, the ultra-processed food policy nobody talks about, the nose you forgot was connected to all of it, and yes — the science behind xylitol that could change how your family thinks about prevention for good.

Under Oath: The Accountability Hour

This hour, we're not talking prevention — we're talking accountability. Dr. Bob Martin joins Dr. Adam Brockman for an unfiltered look at the congressional hearings that put Dr. Fauci and America's pandemic response under oath, from Senators Rand Paul's contempt threat to Bernie Moreno's demand for an apology to Josh Hawley's sharpest cross-examination yet. No spin, no politics — just the tape, the transparency, and what it means for your trust in public health going forward. Plus: the real numbers on who actually got vaccinated, and what to do for your health right now, whatever you decided back then.
