About

A weekly podcast about medicine and the super-sketchy stuff you found online when you googled your symptoms. Cardiologist Dr. Christopher Labos brings clarity and levity to these complex health topics. Listen to weekly interviews, original reporting and humour-filled commentaries that will distract you from the inevitable reality that you too will one day get sick and die. Just hopefully not for a while.

Your host:

Dr. Christopher Labos is a cardiologist with a Master's degree in epidemiology. He spends most of his time doing things that he doesn’t get paid for, like research, teaching, and podcasting. Occasionally, he finds time to practice as a cardiologist so he can pay his rent. He realizes that half of his research findings will be disproved in five years: he just doesn’t know which half. He is a regular contributor for the Montreal Gazette and frequently appears on CJAD radio, CTV News, and the CBC. To date, no one has recognized him on the street. You can find him on Twitter at @DrLabos.
