  • Enjoyable and humorous pod for medicine aficionados

    Discovered this lovely show through Dr Kaveh appearances on Behind the bastards, and I’m soo glad I did!

    I always been interested in medicine but followed a different path, so getting to hear the informative and fun takes of guest and friends of Kaveh is such a treat for the brain and spirit!

    Please never change your warmth and humble vibe!

    Hugs from 🇮🇹

  • So neat so fun so cool!

    I love how this show mixes super interesting topics with commentary on the current health and wellness industry that is, let’s face it, the modern day snake oil salesman yassified online. For example, always felt weird about figures like Huberman but didn’t have the scientific understanding to validate that feeling until house of pod did it for me! I love that this podcast gives me a place to learn about health and science from people who my gut tells me I can trust. Thank you Kaveh!
