Parenting is magic… and mayhem. In this raw, funny, and unfiltered episode, Dr Vincent and Christian pull back the curtain on what kids actually do to your body and mind—why new parents lose ~700 hours of sleep in year one, how constant worry spikes cortisol, and why “making your child the only priority” can quietly wreck your health (and theirs). It’s honest, practical, and deeply relatable.
You’ll hear the side of parenting no one says out loud—ER visits in a two-week blur, the mental load that never clocks off, and the humbling truth that you’re not supposed to know everything. Then we flip the script: the science-backed upsides. Kids boost movement and connection, flood you with oxytocin, and (yes) a sense of purpose that can reduce all-cause mortality. The episode is equal parts empathy and empowerment.
Stay to the end for rapid-fire, no-BS guidance most parents argue about: Should kids take supplements? (probiotics and some omega-3s get the nod; alcohol-tincture herbs and gummy “vitamins” get a hard pass), Vitamin D cautions, why most Vitamin C tablets are lab-made ascorbic acid (and what to do instead), and the big one—should kids eat the same food as their parents? (spoiler: fix the adults’ plates first). Also: the wild truth about dads’ hormones (lower T, higher oxytocin), Bluey-movie chatter, and a very real confession about dinosaur nuggets.
Hit play if… you’re a new parent drowning in advice, a future parent trying to be realistic, or someone who wants science you can actually use. Listen through to the last five minutes—that’s where the most controversial, practical takeaways live, and where your week will genuinely change.
