| Date | Episode | Topics | Guests | Brands | Places | Keywords | Sponsor | Length | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10/13/26 | Sawbones: Cinnamon | Unfortunately we can't have nice things. Dr. Sydnee and Justin must break the news that there is often lead in cinnamon, and discuss how exactly this has happened. However, they also offer advice for how to still consume it safely, plus, an update about the plague in Russia. Music: "Medicines" by The Taxpayers https://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/ Center for Reproductive Rights: https://reproductiverights.org/ | 37m 00s | ||||||
| 10/6/26 | Sawbones: Lethal Injection | The United States public opinion on the death penalty has waxed and waned so much that its use is on a state-by-state basis, nearly dividing the country in half. Dr. Sydnee and Justin talk about the history of capital punishment in the United States, the various methods and the varied involvements of the medical community, and share thoughts on what, considering recent events, should be in the future. Music: "Medicines" by The Taxpayers https://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/ Center for Reproductive Rights: https://reproductiverights.org/ | 38m 53s | ||||||
| 9/29/26 | Sawbones: Glucose Monitors | Would people benefit from wearing a glucose monitor all day every day, even if they’re not on insulin? Evidence does not say there is a benefit, and there are some reasons not to get one. Dr. Sydnee and Justin talk about the history of tracking glucose and our understanding of diabetes, as well as the advancement of technology where we’re almost at cyber-pancreases. Music: "Medicines" by The Taxpayers https://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/ Midwest Food Bank: https://midwestfoodbank.org/disaster-relief/ | 36m 28s | ||||||
| 9/22/26 | Sawbones: Artificial Sweetener | Pretty much since the first artificial sweetener was developed, we've been concerned about their potential adverse effects. How could something 20,000 times as sweet as sugar come without a catch, and perhaps more importantly, why were so many of these sweeteners discovered because scientists were licking their hands in the lab? Music: "Medicines" by The Taxpayers https://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/ Midwest Food Bank: https://midwestfoodbank.org/disaster-relief/ | 36m 55s | ||||||
| 9/15/26 | Sawbones: Dolphins and LSD | With an email subject line of "Dolphins and LSD", Dr. Sydnee and Justin just HAD dive deeper. Enter John C. Lilly, a doctor, scientist, and psychonaut who became very interested in meditation and expanding the consciousness, eventually leading to using psychedelics to try and communicate with Flipper. Music: "Medicines" by The Taxpayers https://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/ Midwest Food Bank: https://midwestfoodbank.org/disaster-relief/ | 40m 25s | ||||||
