Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) are becoming available without a prescription. Monitoring both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes can be tricky, and we discuss the positives and negatives of using CGMs vs. self monitoring. But now that CGMs are becoming available OTC, they're becoming popular with the biohacking & fitness communities. Dante investigates these OTC CGM options and the wisdome of non-diabetics using them.

Continuing Joey's deep-dive into all things "organic", we dive take on pesticides! How much do we ingest? How harmful are they? Does organic food still contain pesticides? Are natural pesticides safe? Joey has some troubling answers!

But first, research out of UMass Medical School suggests that machine learning has discovered how non-antibiotic drugs destroy bacteria. What does that mean for infection fighting?

Also, in totally obvious news, a new meta-analysis shows that hugs are, in fact, FANTASTIC for both physical and mental health. Hug a friend. Hug your family. It's good for everyone and we've got the receipts!

Dante DiMatteo (PharmD) takes on 2 different new studies that have huge implications for every element of family medicine! First, researchers have shown most people can accurately self-prescribe statins (read: cholesterol lowering drugs) WITHOUT a doctor... but is this a good idea? Next, Dante breaks down a fantastic study about getting the most of your mixed exercise programs. Is there an ideal way to train?

Behind the Counter: "biosimilar" drugs (effectively generics) generally cost a bit less to produce, but unfortunately those savings doesn't seem to getting passed down to the consumer. What gives?
