402 — Sofia Karstens on Truth, Science, and the System That Silences Both

Author: Doctor Podcast Network October 27, 2025 Duration: 53:39
In this episode, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh sit down with activist and advocate Sofia Karstens to uncover the story of Dr. Bernice Eddy, a pioneering NIH scientist who warned about flaws in the original polio vaccine—only to be silenced. Together, they explore how Eddy’s whistleblowing shaped modern vaccine safety debates, the links between viruses and cancer, and the parallels to today’s medical freedom movement.

Tired of the same old medical talk that feels disconnected from real life? BS Free MD with Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh offers something different. This is a conversation between two practicing physicians who are also partners, blending their professional expertise with personal experience. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at their kitchen table, where discussions about healthcare, medical history, and philosophy are grounded in the realities of life, family, and the daily grind of being a doctor. You'll hear honest reflections on the system, stories from the front lines that you won't find in textbooks, and a genuine look at how medicine intersects with everything else. The Doctor Podcast Network brings you this unique perspective, where the dialogue is as engaging as it is insightful. It’s a space for anyone curious about the human side of medicine-patients and professionals alike. This podcast doesn’t shy away from complex topics, but it approaches them with a warmth and authenticity that makes even the heaviest subjects feel accessible. Expect candid stories, occasional tangents into culture and society, and the shared wisdom of two people who see the world through both a stethoscope and a shared life. Tune in for a genuinely fresh take.
