There is a podcast called the “Know Rogan Experience” where they listen to Joe Rogan episodes and inspect the claims made by Joe and his guests. They make a point that they are not there to argue opinions, just facts and the way picks and chooses what is a “fact”. A random tweet on X by Joe Blow that has Joe wants to believe: it’s the truth! A BBC article debunking the claim – oh, they are bought and paid for liberals and can be dismissed out of hand.
Anyway, they did a good episode on the Means siblings here: #0022 Calley Means & Casey Means, MD.
Means focuses on “functional medicine,” a growing alternative medical field that emphasizes finding the root cause of chronic health conditions

A little bit about Dr. Nicole Saphier
A practicing physician at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the director of breast imaging at the center’s facility in Monmouth, NJ. She is an associate professor at Weill Cornell Medicine.
Sounds normal enough, right? Wrong.
In 2018, Saphier was hired as a contributor for Fox News.[6] She was a contributor to a virtual townhall on the network with President Donald Trump and members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force in March 2020.[7] After Trump nominated her to serve as the surgeon general of the United States, Saphier’s contract with Fox News was terminated.[8]
Saphier has hosted Wellness Unmasked, a health and wellness podcast. She sells herbal tinctures in a line of products known as DropRx.
She’s on both sides of things.

She will probably be better off going back to being a social media kibitzer. I know the rest of us will.
