There has been a lot of legitimate hullabaloo about vaccines recently.  I will leave the screaming to others (although I am happy to scream as well if necessary).  I thought it would be interesting to talk about the history of vaccines themselves.  Join me, Karrie Youngdahl, the Director of the History of Vaccines Project at the College of Physicians of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Thomas Fekete, the section chief of infecious diseases at Temple University, as we talk about the over 1000 year history of vaccinations.

Vaccine questions?  Give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS.

After that we will have Gastroenterology Update, where I will tell you some of the latest and greatest news in the world of digestive disease and answer your questions and tweets.

Speaking of controversial, bariatric surgery for weight loss remains popular and controversial.  Join me and Dr. Violeta Popov, now of NYU-Langone Medical Center, as we talk about what to do when the bariatric surgery just isn't cutting it.  Please forgive the last joke as I couldn't help myself.

Obese.  Post surgery? Questions?  Give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!

Super Bowled out?  Not football wise, but foodwise?  Why is it that so many of us seem to gain a few pounds every winter?  Join me and Keri Gans, RD. the author of "The Small Change Diet: 10 Steps to a Thinner Healthier You" as we talk about winter eating.  And yes, I plan on making it into the studio tomorrow no matter what the weather is!

Why do I route for the New York Giants? They are a bunch of professional athletes who play for a team owned by someone else.  Other than the fact that I am a New Yorker and my Dad is a huge fan, there is no connection between me and what is in effect a corporate entity.  Yet root for them I do.  Find out why when I speak with Eric Simons, the author of "The Secret Lives of Sports Fans: The Science of Sports Obsession."  Find out why those sports guys and gals act like they do.
