Welcome to HealthHippieMD: Wellness, Rewired.
In the inaugural episode of HealthHippieMD, host Dr. Jeff Taekman, a professor emeritus of anesthesiology at Duke, shares his journey into the world of health and wellness. Jeff discusses his early fascination with longevity sparked by yogurt, his personal battle with inflammatory bowel disease, and how a deep dive into the science of the microbiome transformed his approach to medicine.
This podcast aims to explore real, science-backed health practices through a Nine-Dimension Wellness framework, offering listeners weekly insights, stories, and actionable advice. Jeff also introduces his free newsletter, HealthHippieMD, as a deeper dive into these topics and more.
