427 — Emma Tekstra: The Actuary’s Data-Driven Blueprint for Well-Being

Author: Doctor Podcast Network February 9, 2026 Duration: 1:00:44
Actuaries are paid to understand risk, not feelings—and that mindset shapes this conversation with Emma Tekstra, author of How to Be a Healthy Human. What began as a search for answers for her child led her to question pharmaceutical incentives, wellness dogma, and the stories modern medicine tells about health. This is a sober, data-driven look at why lifestyle, personal responsibility, and critical thinking matter more than protocols—and why real health is often found outside the exam room.

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.
