• 391 — Dr. Nayan Patel on Oxidative Stress, Disease, and Aging Gracefully
    Sep 18 2025

    This episode dives into the world of glutathione with Dr. Nayan Patel, a pharmacist and wellness innovator who has spent decades researching how to make this essential antioxidant bioavailable. Dr. Patel explains why glutathione is critical for detoxification, slowing aging, boosting energy, and protecting against disease, yet has long been overlooked in medical training.

    The conversation covers his journey from pharmacy school to developing breakthrough delivery methods, why traditional IV and oral methods often fail, and how oxidative stress connects to nearly every chronic disease. With relatable analogies—from rusting cars to NFL offensive lines—Drs. May and Tim make the science both accessible and entertaining. Whether you’re a physician, a health enthusiast, or simply curious about longevity, this rerun delivers an eye-opening look at how glutathione could change the way we age and heal.

  • 390 — Can You Really Plan for Family?
    Sep 15 2025

    In this BS Free MD “Truth Bomb” rerun, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh dive into the messy realities of family planning—and not the kind you’re thinking of. They reflect on seasons of life, moving away from family roots, raising kids without nearby relatives, and how family dynamics shift as generations relocate. Tim shares powerful immigrant stories about communities that once moved together as a unit, contrasting that with today’s fragmented approach to family and place. Together, they wrestle with whether staying close to family builds stronger bonds—or if leaving is the best way to grow.

    Their takeaway? Life happens, plans change, and adaptability is key when it comes to family, home, and identity.

  • 387 — New Studio, Same BS-Free Truth: What COVID Really Taught Us
    Sep 4 2025

    We all lived through it, but some stories still stop us in our tracks. Tim and May rewind the clock to those surreal pandemic years—the rules that made no sense, the heartbreaks that still sting, and the lessons we can’t afford to forget.

    You’ll laugh with us at the sand-filled California skatepark and shake your head at the “safest sex” guidelines recommending glory holes (yes, really). You’ll sit with us in the grief of not being able to attend a parent’s funeral. And you’ll hear what it was like, as doctors, to watch trust in medicine unravel in real time.

    But this episode isn’t just about what was lost. It’s about the fork in the road we face now: rebuilding trust, rethinking how we practice medicine, and remembering that humility, honesty, and humanity matter more than ever.

    Episode Highlights
    • 🚧 The absurd: playgrounds chained off, skateparks filled with sand, paddleboarders arrested.
    • 💔 The heartbreaking: Tim missing his mother’s funeral because borders were closed.
    • 🤦‍♀️ The surreal: BC health officials recommending “glory holes” as a safer option.
    • 🙋‍♂️ The human: patients who knew more about their rare diseases than we ever could.
    • 🩺 The turning point: why we left primary care when medicine became more about ticking boxes than treating people.
    • 🧭 The Four Principles of Trust: what we now use to measure whether a doctor, institution, or even an idea is worth following.

  • 386 — Carnivore vs. Vegan: The Netflix Twin Diet Debate Unpacked
    Sep 1 2025

    Drs. May and Tim kick things off with lighthearted banter about Canadian quirks, freedom, and firearms—using crime statistics from Florida and Saskatoon to challenge the assumption that gun control automatically reduces violence. They highlight how cultural and demographic differences play a bigger role than blanket policies.

    The conversation then pivots to Netflix’s documentary You Are What You Eat, which followed 21 sets of identical twins over eight weeks on vegan vs. omnivore diets. While Netflix framed it as groundbreaking science, Tim and May poke holes in the study’s limited size and duration, questioning the sweeping claims about vegan superiority. They explore what the data really shows, from muscle mass gains with meat to marginal improvements in cholesterol and sexual arousal on plant-based diets. Their critique cuts through the noise, pointing out how corporate farming and environmental talking points get mixed into the health narrative—often overshadowing deeper truths about carbs, sugar, and lifestyle.

  • 385 — Drugging Normal? Dr. McFillin on the Mental Health Crisis We Created
    Aug 28 2025

    When Dr. Roger McFillin first stepped into a children’s psychiatric hospital, he was shocked by what he witnessed—kids as young as five being medicated into compliance, their trauma overlooked, and their humanity reduced to labels and prescriptions. That moment set him on a decades-long journey to expose the truth about America’s mental health system.

    In this conversation, Dr. McFillin joins Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh to challenge some of the deepest assumptions in psychiatry—from the “chemical imbalance” myth to the widespread drugging of normal emotional responses like grief, fear, and anxiety. He shares gripping stories from his work with traumatized children, teens in the juvenile justice system, and adults on multiple psychiatric drugs, raising hard questions about informed consent, resilience, and what true healing looks like.

    This isn’t just an interview—it’s a raw, honest look at how our culture medicalizes suffering, why that’s dangerous, and how reclaiming struggle and resilience may be the real path forward. Whether you’re a physician, a patient, or simply someone searching for truth, this episode will stay with you.

    Rapid Fire Takeaways
    • Why the “chemical imbalance” theory never held up to science
    • How normal human suffering became pathologized as “disorder”
    • Why informed consent is missing in psychiatric prescribing
    • The difference between short-term crisis meds vs. long-term harm
    • How resilience, not over-medicalization, is the real path to healing

  • 384 — Cold Plunges, Kale & Cults: Debunking Wellness Fads
    Aug 11 2025

    In this fiery and brutally honest episode of BS Free MD, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh take aim at the billion-dollar longevity industry. They dissect the hype around anti-aging books and wellness fads—from Outlive by Peter Attia to the extreme regimens of tech millionaires like Brian Johnson—and ask: Is it all just a marketing scam?

    Tim rants about the absurdity of titles like Young Forever and How Not to Age, while May reflects on the emotional toll of chronic health issues that make those promises feel out of reach. They argue that true wellness isn't about chasing immortality, but about optimizing your lifestyle to enjoy what you love for as long as you can.

    Along the way, they call out:

    • Biohacking cults
    • Techno-paganism
    • Cold plunge fads (yes, they predict you'll see them at garage sales soon)
    • The spiritual emptiness of trying to live forever

    Instead, they offer a refreshingly grounded take: move your body, sleep well, eat less junk, nurture your relationships, and do the fun stuff that lights you up. That’s real “healthspan.”
