    Ep. 245 - Can Old Scar Tissue Still Be Treated? What to Know After Surgery
    13 Oct 2026
    Yes, scar tissue can be treated, even decades after surgery, and it matters because most of what a scar does happens beneath the skin. Massage therapist Marjorie Brook, creator of the STRAIT Method (Scar Tissue Release and Integrated Therapies), joins Dr. Dean Mitchell to explain how scars form, how they differ from adhesions, and why healed tissue can stay restricted and affect movement, circulation, and lymphatic flow. She explains why she believes aggressive early rehab can work against healing, what gentler care looks like, and why itchy, numb, or tight C-section and mastectomy scars are often scar tissue that can be addressed. She also covers when scar work can begin, how stretching works with the body instead of against it, and what to say if you are told scar tissue is simply something you have to live with.Follow The Smartest Doctor In The Room on Apple Podcasts or Spotify so the next episode comes to you.

  • Ep. 244 - What Makes a Great Doctor? 10 Qualities to Look For Before You Choose One

    Ep. 244 - What Makes a Great Doctor? 10 Qualities to Look For Before You Choose One
    6 Oct 2026
    The smartest doctor in the room isn't defined by a famous hospital or a top doctor list. It comes down to ten qualities: judgment, listening, curiosity, experience, pattern recognition, humility, communication, collaboration, compassion, and genuine investment in the patient's outcome. In this solo episode, Dr. Dean Mitchell shares what more than five and a half years of interviewing physicians has taught him about choosing a doctor. He explains how those "top doctor" lists work and why credentials alone can mislead. He also covers why normal lab results don't always mean nothing is wrong, and why a thorough history matters. He closes by highlighting six past guests who show these qualities: Dr. Neil Nathan, Dr. Mark Pimentel, Dr. Richard Horowitz, Dr. Mariana Castells, Dr. Kari Nadeau, and Dr. Paul Offit.

  • Ep. 243 - Dr. Richard Horowitz’s New Book on Ending Chronic Illness

    Ep. 243 - Dr. Richard Horowitz’s New Book on Ending Chronic Illness
    29 Sep 2026
    Dr. Richard Horowitz reports the first published case of reversing P-tau 217, the most sensitive and specific Alzheimer's biomarker, in a live patient using a nine-week oral dapsone combination protocol, lowering it by 63% compared to the 23% reduction seen over six to seven years with anti-amyloid drugs like lecanemab. Author of the upcoming book Ending Chronic Illness, Dr. Horowitz breaks down his 16-point MSIDS model linking chronic Lyme disease, Bartonella, mold toxicity, and biofilm-persistent infections to Alzheimer's, long COVID, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and autoimmune disease. He and Dr. Dean Mitchell also cover how to take a proper differential diagnosis history, why dapsone blocks the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway driving brain inflammation, and practical tick-bite prevention with picaridin and permethrin-treated clothing.
