(https://amzn.to/3E1Daor). Your body is an amazing machine. And when you understand some of the ways it works it becomes more of a marvel. Here to take you and me on a tour of important parts of your body is Dr. Jonathan Reisman. He is a doctor of internal medicine and pediatrics and author of the book The Unseen Body: A Doctor’s Journey Through the Hidden Wonders of Human Anatomy (https://amzn.to/37vUz8u). You will learn things about body parts and body fluids you never knew. Listen as he explains about body parts and bodily fluids – and it’s really kinda fun. Doctors tend to be pretty grounded in science. Yet many of them have stories of medical miracles and other experiences that science simply cannot explain. Some of the stories you are about to hear may just give you chills. Dr. Scott Kolbaba is one doctor who has had some strange experiences, so he decided to reach out to other doctors to see if they did as well. And indeed they did! Scott is author of a book called Physicians Untold Stories: Miraculous Experiences Doctors are Hesitant to Share with their Patients or Anyone (https://amzn.to/3v7Ci9O). Listen as he shares these remarkable stories with you. t is human nature to worry – but not all the time. Particularly because so much of what we worry about never happens. Listen as I explain how one leading expert puts worry in its proper place. Source: Dr. Martin Rossman author of The Worry Solution (https://amzn.to/3xmjZAs) PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!
