As the year draws to a close, I wanted to remind all my readers that Intelligent Medicine is more than just a weekly radio show that you may or may not have a chance to catch in real-time.
Each week, we also generate 4 additional podcasts that can be accessed via your computer, iPad, or any mobile device. You can download them individually on our website on our website or subscribe via iTunes or Stitcher.
There's an inventory of scores of podcasts with fascinating content: interviews with top personalities in the field of complementary and alternative medicine, our weekly Q&A with Hoffman Center nutritionist Leyla Muedin, as well as my solo disquisitions on a wide range of clinical focus topics.

We get 5-star reviews on iTunes, with raves like this: "Long time listener . . . Dr. Hoffman has such a balanced approach to health and nutrition, giving us the most sound info possible. I could go on and on about how great he is. Instead, just listen and learn! Leyla, his nutritionist, also offers excellent advice."
You can browse all of the podcasts chronologically, or use the Podcast Index to help you locate topics of special interest to you.
And best of all, Intelligent Medicinepodcasts are free, and you don't need to wade through tons of commercials to get to the good stuff.
If you were to listen to all of them, you would receive an extraordinary grounding in the principles and practice of integrative medicine and applied nutrition. If it were up to me, I'd be handing out honorary degrees!
But listening to all of them would also take up a lot of your time (well worth it if you ask me!), so I've hand-picked ten of the top podcasts of 2016 that deserve your special attention. I hope you enjoy them, and I encourage you to share them with any friends or family who you think might find them helpful and informative. And don't forget to follow me on Twitter and Facebook to stay up to date with the latest in Intelligent Medicine all year long.
