The 2 Minute Medicine® Podcast

Welcome to the 2 Minute Medicine® Podcast, summarizing the latest medical studies, curated and written by practicing physicians. On this podcast, twice a month, we cover the latest in health care news and research evidence. We begin this episode by discussing two articles of the week, "Family Planning, Fertility and Career Planning Among Female Oncologists"  from JAMA and "Resuscitation with intact versus clamped cord in late preterm and term neonates: A randomized controlled trial" from the Journal of Pediatrics. In the second half of our episode, we bring a medical eye to popular events. We begin by discussing Selena Gomez's journey battling Lupus and her kidney transplant, then we take a closer look at bipolar disorder, discuss the dangers of consuming ultra-processed foods and complete the episode with a conversation about key topics in men's health.
