    In this special 4-part series on heart diseases, we're going to give you something that's getting harder and harder to come by: time with a cardiologist.

    Access to medical care is a growing challenge—especially when it comes to specialists. In the U.S. today, a single cardiologist may be responsible for thousands of patients, and nearly half of all U.S. counties don’t even have one.

    We’re joined by Dr. Jaspal Gill, Cardiologist and Clinical Research Fellow at the University of London, to break down the fundamentals of the most common—and most critical—heart conditions: high blood pressure, heart attacks, stroke, and arrhythmia.

  • Ultra-Processed Nation: Why Our Food Is Making Us Sick - with Neeti Mahajan
    Jun 18 2025

    In the U.S., over 42% of adults are obese, nearly 12% have diabetes, and around 60% live with at least 1 chronic disease. Diet-related chronic diseases—including heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers—contribute to approximately 1 million deaths each year.

    In a country overflowing with food, why are so many of us sick?

    Host Jason Arora sits down with Neeti Mahajan, food industry exec, to take a big-picture look at how America's modern food system may be doing more harm than good. They explore how ultra-processed foods have fueled epidemics of obesity and diabetes, and why the way we farm is depleting soil and heating up the planet.

    If you've ever wondered why junk food is so cheap but eating healthy is so hard, or how our dinner plate is connected to climate change, this episode will give you plenty of food for thought. But it's not all doom and gloom—Jason and Neeti also talk about what a better food future could look like.

    May 7 2025

    Mental health often gets a lot of attention — but what about emotional health?

    Emotional well-being is about understanding and managing your feelings day to day — and it’s not quite the same as mental health.

Together, they break down what emotional health really means, why it matters, and how tuning into your emotions can even strengthen your physical health — with chronic emotional stress known to weaken the immune system and drive unhealthy coping habits.

    If you've ever wondered why your feelings matter or how to stay calm in the middle of life’s chaos, this conversation provides an accessible introduction to the principles of emotional well-being.
