This has been at the top of my mind for a long time and the reason to have this podcast with Dr Abby Philips.
Dr. Abby Philips is a specialist in Hepatology and Liver Transplant. He did his MBBS, MD & DM and is the president's gold medal winner for academic excellence.
He has 200+ research papers published to him.
But there is an interesting other side of him.
He is known as TheLiverDoc on Twitter for his work as a crusader against all sorts of misinformation on health and pseudoscience.
He is a father of three an avid gamer and a graphic novel enthusiast🙂 Follow his work on Twitter lnkd.in/gHqX2jQD
There is a lot we discussed:
- The reason to be Liver Doc on Twitter. You know what I mean🙂
- How that happened and why it remains important.
- The universe of quackery & pseudoscience in nutrition, health & fitness.
- Healthcare landscape in India. How modern, alternative & integrative medicine works.
- Business of health and patient care.
- Debunking myths around supplements & nutraceuticals.
- Do's & Don'ts for individuals to create their own health protocols.
- Alcohol, Coffee, Artificial sweetener, Intermittent fasting, Proteins, Carbs, multivitamins, and much more.
- Life of a doctor beyond medical practice.
I've to say this upfront. This conversation is not to prove anything good or bad.
But to establish some tools and frameworks that everyone can use to create their own guardrail for health.
This is a 3hr+ podcast. I don't expect you to listen or watch it in one go. Maybe you should not. But when you finish, do make an attempt to relay your thoughts to improve the scientific temperament of people around us. That will improve their understanding of health.
There is a lot to takeaways from this conversation and I hope this is useful to you.
