Summary: Jim Stephenson Jr., a leading expert in vitamin D biology with over 20 years of research experience, emphasizes the importance of natural vitamin D sources, such as sunlight and food, for optimal health. Contrary to its name, vitamin D is a hormone, not a vitamin. Studies on vitamin D supplementation reveal limited benefits for conditions like autoimmunity, obesity, cancer, and osteoporosis, and may even cause harm due to numerous side effects.  Jim's Substack: https://substack.com/@jimstephensonjr

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
