I love Dr. Sanjay Gupta shows because he’s a really great doctor that tells you the truth. He’s honest about what he’s seeing and knows and he can’t answer your questions. He tells you to get with your professional doctors and get an assessment done. So that you’ll have a specific diagnosis and treatment knowing where to start working from and on.

The guest talks too breathlessly. Like a mother talking to a child. Interesting but voice puts me off.

I have enjoyed each episode of this podcast! Would like you to cover the science behind gender dysphoria

I am shocked to see that you platformed a huge trauma pseudoscientist, Bessel Van Der Kolk, on your podcast. It eroded my trust in the content you are producing and can no longer subscribe.

Great content and interestingly presented.

Still learning a lot from this podcast post-pandemic! I often earmark the books of experts Dr.Gupta has published on the show. So happy it’s still going!!

I enjoy the majority of the episodes. Dr Sanjay Gupta is also a trusted source! Re: the weight loss drugs - it’s amazing to me that millions of people will inject these but won’t get a vaccine. These drugs are overused and even abused. They shouldn’t be prescribed for a quick fix. People should have to prove that they’ve tried natural options first. Without checks and balances, this drug isn’t available for the people who actually need it.

Dr Gupta is one of the most reliable sources of health topics. He provides a realistic and objective view of important and current information. I appreciate his perspective and advice.

I believe it if Sanjay says it or interviews it. He never alarms even if the topic is alarming. I appreciate the sound and solid way he presents the information.

Great information

Chasing Life by Dr. Sanjay Gupta falls flat on every level. The content is trite, with shallow, vapid thoughts that feel more like filler than substance. Despite the show's potential to explore meaningful topics about health and longevity, Gupta's commentary is underwhelming, lacking depth or any fresh insights. His choice of subjects is dull and uninspired, making it difficult to stay engaged. What’s worse is the palpable arrogance that oozes from his presentation — he seems more interested in showing off his own importance than in truly connecting with the audience or delivering valuable information. Overall, the show feels like an egotistical platform rather than a genuine exploration of life’s critical issues. Highly disappointing.

This presentation could a should have been shortened considerably. Give us what you need to know! From the information provided, it could have been done in five minutes, so give us a summary up front. Then if people want to hear the whole story, go into the longer explanations.

Just from my own experience with a similar situation, if it’s real to you and effects your mental health and well being…it doesn’t matter…I have MAJOR self work to be done. I fight thru no matter what.

I am going through a past abusive partner stalking me and people breaking in my apartment. When I leave I lock my bedroom door and front door and come home I find some things mishelved and missing. My gut is sick I get anxiety and worry. So now I say it ll pass and I call my gf who used to be in a similar situation and we laugh I m like a worried nut and after we laugh I’m thinking boy that’s a relief. I ask myself let them in invite them in the conversation with myself makes me not care or worry it all just seems so surreal after we laugh and make light of it.

Hi Sanjay! Just read your story on talking to your kiddo’s about social media/screen time. For my money (but can it bring happiness?) you & your wife have set smart/doable boundaries! Through what you’ve shared, your daughter’s seem to be as adjusted as possible in our digital age. I especially liked Soleil’s thoughts! Kinda’ “it is what it is!” All three were probably secret delighted you took the time to ask! Therein, it’s your BEST parenting! Feeling valued and important and heard, is HUGE! I think you got this, Doc! ~M.B. Davila-Aponte

In a world of bogus content — Dr. Oz, TikTok, certain lawmakers — Dr. Sanjay stands out for his science-based approach. I’ve been a fan for years and this podcast is a great go-to for useful information.

I love the new focus, and find it informative and helpful. Thank you very much.

Absolutely one of the most informative, fun and educational podcast. I have listened to all the episodes and learn about a variety of health issues and outlook of life- Gratitude leads to a long and healthy life. Thank you Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

A very useful and informative podcast. I’ve listened to many podcasts and this one is top 3. It’ll change your life. Thank you Dr. Sanjay.

I really enjoy all the episodes. Especially the menopause and what foods we eat and how they affect our mental health. Thank you!!! I have made changes with my diet and exercise in the past week and have noticed positive changes in my mood and sleep.

Excellent episode. Don’t miss. Thanks

I am disappointed that the bad science in the womens health initiative was not even mentioned in the recent menopause episode. Why, oh why does the traditional medical establishment not trumpet from the rooftops that women have reduced mortality from all causes (especially colorectal cancer and heart disease) when they take hormone replacement therapy—especially in the first ten years after menopause. There are 35 recognized and 104 known symptoms of menopause. There is far more need for HRT than just for hot flashes. It’s appalling how little is talked about this. Thanks for the menopause show at all, but it was pretty disappointing.

When I listen to Dr. Gupta, I imagine him talking to me - as if he were my doctor or advisor, translating complex health issues. The themes he covers are topical and timely. It is also gratifying to see that he covers all forms of health from wellness, to physical and psychological health. Keep up the outstanding efforts!

I love this podcast because of the choice of topics, lack of hype and the depth of conversation. Dr. Gupta is a warm, intelligent and caring person. Thank you to the team for putting this podcast together.

I appreciate the added direction WW is going for some members. The CEO is well spoken on this topic. I would like more info on the side effects and long term success of these drugs. As a life time member, I wish there was support program for us. Closing studios has had a negative impact on many of the members. We really were supported by these weekly in person meetings. I drive a distance to do my monthly weigh ins. I am glad the “packaged” food by WW was discontinued even though it was a resource for many members. The point system is great but members can fill up on any foods they like to use their points. Not sure how that is a good pathway. I have been a champion for this program for years.

I’m really loving the series on weight management. thank you for bringing all of these perspectives forward and for such thoughtful reporting.

I love this podcast. Always learn something new!

Luv this Podcast. Sanjay is always dependable and provides meaningful topics-Camille ( Idaho)

I love Sanjay‘s podcast because it always touches something within me regardless of the subject. Thank you Dr. Gupta for this podcast.

I love how Dr. Gupta ties research into a wide range of tips to improve our well being overall!

Criteria for audio rating: Sonorous, loud, full and rich, projection of voice, crisp & clear. Does the audio quality of the guest on show (if any) also meet this criteria? 5 of 5 meets all criteria. If listener has to strain to hear speaker, 0 out of 5. If guest’s audio is not at least on par with host’s, gets a 0 out of 5. I also consider how effectively speaker makes use of time; i.e., long pauses, lots of uums and uuhs, deviation from point, fluff or superfluous info, and general elocution. About 99% emphasis on audio quality. I use podcast Money Matters with Ken Moraif as 100% standard of AUDIO SOUND QUALITY ONLY, that gets 5 out of 5 rating. Criteria for content: how is this info unique and different from what I can glean from a google search? What advantage can I gain that I can’t from google search? If info is unique & helps elucidate complex and esoteric ideas, gets 5 out of 5. If info is stuff that can be pretty much read off google searches, gets 0 out of 5. I place 1% emphasis on content (good info is useless if can’t be heard or understood). Audio for this podcast is 1⁄5. Audio I not loud enough to hear for passive listening while doing other things. Have to stop all other activities and strain to hear. Host can be louder. Guests audio is terrible. Even worse than host’s, but that changes based on where the guest is communicating from; not my concern, they should fix the end result. Content rating: 1 out of 5. Podcast is about an hr. Crux of the matter, and the pertinent scientific info is suddenly, and quickly thrown at the end 20 mins or so, and sneaks up on you suddenly. I wish the entire podcast would be about that last 20 mins of info flung casually and flippantly. I appreciate the host explaining certain terms and ideas on the side, but need more of that! I generously give 1/5 for that. The beginning of the show is major fluff info, interlarded with long background stories to evoke pathos and interest, that very gradually leads up to the science part at the end. I’d watch soap operas if I was inclined to hear such fluff. In general: I wouldn’t waste my time on this podcast. If you are inclined to listen to it, I recommend you scroll through the fist 40 mins of dross, or listen at 2x speed.

I mostly enjoy the topics that are covered. However, I find it overly focused on nuclear families at times (raising kids). There are a lot of people that are not in that stage of life right now, and week after week after hearing about, or from Sanjay’s kids or wife is a bit alienating- does this show apply to my life?

Many episodes have been very helpful but the organized brain episode was absolutely ridiculous!! No one wants to hear how this privileged, entitled therapist (with her attorney husband) had to actually do something for herself instead of paying other people to do it. I'm sure that's how she was raised but...newsflash..most of us take care of our own children & clean our houses. Give me a break!!

“The dating brain” is an outstanding episode of a great podcast! It’s fascinating scientific analysis of the brain circuitry of love! Are you an explorer, a builder, a director or a negotiator 🤔 Thanks, Dr Gupta, for sharing such enlightening, insightful conversations with the public 🙏

I love this show because it touches on a variety of topics that impact our physical and mental health today while also explaining things in a way that anyone can understand. I find the show informative, calming and engaging. Thank you Sanjay for bringing these nuggets of knowledge to us!

This podcast is all about self pity. The final straw is having to listen to advertising on other CNN podcasts about how we in America need to look after our own mental health when listening to news about Israel and Palestine conflict. How about people put their energy and compassion into the people of those two countries rather than ourselves? Will be deleting from my library. Frustrating that I have to still listen to the constant ads on other CNN podcasts.

Never feels rushed to cover the topic in a limited time..respects his guest and thoroughly draws out their knowledge.

My new favorite podcast. Love the topics and his interviewing style. Keep up the great work!

I can’t multitask, which means I’m not focused on any one thing mistakes are made, but It’s too bad it took so long to realize. I’m smarter than I thought, it could have been put to good use. My mind has a mind of its own. Thank you Darcy

This is a wonderful podcast - thank you for exploring and sharing such intriguing content!

Dr likes to talk mostly about how wonderful And successful he is and why we should be impressed… massive ego and 0 creative ability

So you present a doctor who claims he just doesn’t know about the dosing of marijuana in the elderly for insomnia, etc. Couldn’t you track down someone who does know like a well seasoned doctor? After you interviewed this birdbrain, I just turned off you episode. Sorry but out of thousands of doctors, present one who is more experienced and confident in the research.

Thank you Sanjay. You are, without doubt, one of the very good guys, an exceptional man we should all be grateful for. Squash, beans and corn for linner. Thank you.

This is a very good podcast that describes or attempts to describe why so many of us are repulsed by the obvious signs of aging. It’s very simple. Aging is the path to death which most of us are in denial. We need to help people under say 60, understand that this is the natural way for all living beings to go out like a light. If we are going to gain acceptance of the word and process of aging we have to confront this issue straight on. We all collectively have a lot of accumulated knowledge and we need to use that knowledge in our communities to help where we can. We can volunteer in the schools, work on committees in local governments, work in the hospitals, work to fundraise dollars for community needs, become an artist at 80. Give lectures, write books. Briefly we can take on the work that younger people in their 30’s, 40’s and 50’s can’t do because they are busy with their careers and raising their families. Aging folks are fundamental to the good works of all communities and should be revered as elders. We have a lot of work to do to make sure that this is the actual practice! Keep up the good work! We need recognition of elders. Thank you for always doing the research needed for whatever topic you are undertaking. Your reports are the best ones on TV. I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you! Kristin Zern PS I’m 81,a widow and an airport commissioner of my local airport (MVY) and work out at the YMCA. I am also Chair of the Commissions Outreach Committee and have raised a lot of money for scholarships to help the youth in our community become commercial airline pilots, airplane maintenance workers, ground and flight crews, Airport management, air traffic controllers, TSA agents, etc. We have become Mentors for kids hoping to find a life long career in Aviation.

While I consistently enjoy this podcast, I’ve enjoyed none more than those that included Sanjay’s daughters. Each one is smart, funny and personable. Each are independent thinkers with their own perspectives on being born in the era of screens. The entire sixth season is incredible and very timely. Thank you!

Parasitic scum of the earth. Please shut up and go away

Thank you so much for all the information that you gave us. I love your podcast.

I really enjoyed this series and listened to much of it with my own teens. My 16-year old got his first phone this year and we still do not allow social media. In the 8 months that he has had it his IRL hobbies have drastically reduced. He has also struggled with anxiety and depression. When I look at the teen suicide rate and how it has jumped since the inception of the smart phone I do have wonder about the correlation and the lack of action by our government and corporations. During covid around 1600 children under the age of 17 died but teen suicide rates take 6000 children a year, a number that has doubled since the smart phone. Our entire country went on lock down for Covid but smartphones are handed out to children in elementary grades. I just don’t get it… I know causation does not always equal correlation but I do wonder why it is treated so lightly by parents and is allowed to go unchecked.

I just listened to the social media/impact on kids broadcast. I do disagree - parents have struggled for generations on the difficult task of teaching our kids MODERATION - every generation has an “evil” . Parents have also had the difficult task of teaching good decision making as well as saying no and meaning it when occasion merits it. Parents need to grow up and be parents. I also think the discussions here should include what kids don’t do because they are on social media. What are they missing? Are they well rounded and healthy? Time to stop bemoaning how difficult it is and acting like we as parents can only throw our hands up and give in.
