"For the Nerds and the Nerd Nots"
Causes or Cures is a health podcast hosted by Dr. Eeks—an independent, grassroots show driven by curiosity and a passion for breaking down complex health topics into bite-sized, easy-to-understand insights. Dr. Eeks works as a public health consultant, in the realm of epi/scicomms. She's all about making science relatable and often uses her blue-collar sense of humor to drive the message home.

On this podcast, Dr. Eeks talks with experts from around the world—doctors, researchers, public health pros, and more—to dive into the latest hot topics in health and research, all in a down-to-earth kind of way.


DISCLAIMER: Some topics are more controversial than others, so keep in mind that this is information only and not health advice. Dr. Eeks doesn't endorse any of her guests' views, and despite a strict health routine, nor does she endorse any products, supplements, oils, magic socks or potions. Causes or Cures is not a "news site." It's about having conversations, and Dr. Eeks is confident that she can have a respectful conversation with anyone, even people who think far differently than she does. (At least that's been her experience at hole-in-the-wall bars.) The point is to not take anything here as Gospel. Sometimes Dr. Eeks' dog Barnaby makes his opinion known, but the good news is that he's a smart dog. Most importantly, she hopes this podcast encourages folks to stay curious, empathic, hopeful, compassionate, honest, open-minded, and engaged. Freedom of discussion is a beautiful thing, delightfully messy, and one that many take for granted.

    In this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks sits down with Dr. Jasmin Mujkanovic, a cardiologist and researcher from Copenhagen University Hospital, to explore a critical question: Could certain antidepressants be linked to sudden cardiac death?

    Dr. Mujkanovic breaks down the findings from his recent study, which was presented at the 2025 European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) Conference. He begins by explaining what sudden cardiac death actually is, and why it drew his scientific curiosity. From there, he walks us through how the study was conducted, the types of antidepressants examined, and what the data revealed. He unpacks possible biological mechanisms behind the observed link, key takeaways for both patients and clinicians, and the broader implications for mental health and heart health.

    Whether you're a healthcare professional, someone taking antidepressants, or simply curious about the intersection of mental and heart health, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

    • What DNA methylation clocks are and how they’re used to measure biological age
    • The design and findings of the DO-HEALTH Bio-Age Trial
    • Whether vitamin D, algae-based omega-3s, and exercise can turn back your biological clock
    • The science behind how these interventions may work
    • Practical takeaways for longevity and healthy aging
    • What’s next in this fast-moving field

    Dr. Bischoff-Ferrari is a physician and researcher with board certifications in geriatrics, internal medicine, and rehab.

    In this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks speaks with Dr. Nazlie Latefi about her new research on an over-the-counter (OTC) product that takes a fresh approach to tackling cold symptoms. They explore how the common cold is defined, its massive economic impact, and why many popular OTC medications surprisingly lack scientific support.

    Dr. Latefi, co-founder of Applied Biological Laboratories, discusses her innovative approach to treating the common cold and why Biovanta is different from what’s currently available. She also reveals the promising results from a recent randomized controlled trial and shares insights into her ongoing research in respiratory health.

    🎧 Curious about why many cold remedies fall short and how new research is changing the game? Tune in for the full conversation.
