AE027 - Chris Wilhelm - Living the Music.mp3

Anecdotal Evidence with Daniel Johnson, MD

I'm super excited to send you a Christmas present from the Anecdotal Evidence. This is my conversation with the local musician, Chris Wilhelm. I sat down with Chris way back in February of this year for a conversation about music and the healing pathways into our being that it opens up.

We're both the oldest of three brothers, we have some common musical interests in Bob Dylan and Neil Young, and we both have relocated to Asheville to call home. We get into all of that in some detail during...

AE026 - Angela Hind, MD - Ethical Medicine in a Toxic World.mp3

Anecdotal Evidence with Daniel Johnson, MD

Thanks for checking out Anecdotal Evidence. I'm very excieted to share this week's episode with my conversation with Dr. Angela Hind. I had the good fortune of meeting Angela earlier this year after reading an article about fluoride in the local Mountain Xpress. Fluoridating our water supply is a very controversial issue that stirs up charged debate. It is an interesting issue to explore because there are strong opinions on either side of the argument. It represents a polarizing issue that makes it difficult to foster intelligent discussion without devolving into...

AE023 - New Delhi, Early Reflections

Anecdotal Evidence with Daniel Johnson, MD

Insight India 2016 pushed me out out my comfort zone and challenged me to open my mind. It was an immersion in a distant country with different culture and customs. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to see this part of the world and to feel the impact of how an experience of a different culture changed me. Part of how I felt that was the desire to share it through the podcast format. Anecdotal Evidence has developed into an ongoing discussion about the phenomenon of our health as we experience it. At the end of the trip I was exhausted and my...
