In this special simulcast of The Neil Haley Show and The Dr. Christopher Hall Show, Neil and Nobel Prize–nominated ER physician Dr. Christopher Hall welcome fitness icon and bestselling author Jillian Michaels to unpack her mission-driven media shift and the urgent health topics she’s tackling head-on.
What we cover:
From Audio to Video—Why Now:
Jillian’s award-winning podcast “Keeping It Real” has moved to free video on YouTube, produced under Bill Maher’s shingle to enable fearless, nuanced discussions without cancellation risk. Expect MDs, PhDs, investigative journalists, and thought leaders—no topic off-limits.
The Big Questions Jillian’s Asking:
Testosterone collapse in young men: Why does a 30-year-old today have levels comparable to a 60-year-old decades ago? (Deep dive with Dr. Peter Attia—TRT pros/cons, who should/shouldn’t, fertility cautions, and non-TRT solutions.)
Early-onset cancer: What’s behind the 79% rise in diagnoses among ages 18–49?
Kids’ vaccine schedule: How did we go from ~12 shots then to 70+ now—and what should parents ask?
Big Food & Big Pharma playbook: Former lobbyist Kelly Means reveals how addiction and policy intertwine.
Root-Cause Medicine (Not Just Band-Aids):
Jillian’s lens: upstream solutions instead of symptom suppression. Expect practical guidance you can actually use.
Her Personal “Why”:
From an overweight kid to martial arts empowerment…PCOS and pigmentation issues…to “Master Your Metabolism” with endocrinologist Dr. Christine Darwish, and a pregnancy-to-postpartum guide co-authored with five physicians—Jillian’s work is born from lived experience + expert collaboration.
Dr. Hall’s Take:
Many “we’ve always done it this way” attitudes in medicine block progress. Transparent, evidence-informed dialogue—of the type Jillian is elevating—helps patients ask better questions and make better decisions.
