Out of Patients with Matthew Zachary
Out of Patients with Matthew Zachary
Matthew Zachary is the healthcare policy love child of Jon Stewart, Howard Stern, Thomas Paine, Ralph Nader, and Jerry Seinfeld. He has 19 years of receipts to prove it. Editorially independent. Answerable to no one. What started as The Stupid Cancer Show in 2007 became Out of Patients. The first online health podcast in America, predating the medium itself. Zachary survived brain cancer at 21, built the young adult cancer movement from scratch, and spent two decades channeling patient rage into something the system never saw coming. Now he is marching into Washington. Out of Patients goes where the comfortable shows will not. Politics. Healthcare policy. Economics. Institutional accountability. Consumer protection. The forces shaping what 330 million Americans can access, afford, and survive. Battle-scarred patients. Exhausted caregivers. Rare insiders brave enough to name what is killing us. And the occasional elected official about to find out what an organized patient constituency actually looks like. This is the show that started the conversation America is still not ready to finish.

Starting From Scratch: From Chemo to Cookie Dough

Starting From Scratch: From Chemo to Cookie Dough

After beating cancer in her early twenties, Loren Brill wanted to eliminate processed foods from her diet. Unable to find great-tasting cookies made from clean ingredients, she developed her own and founded Sweet Loren's, which specializes in vegan cookie dough made with all-natural ingredients. On this week's show, Loren shares her experience with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, her interest in health foods, and her mission to prove that one can be good to their body without giving up the sweet things in life.

Today I talk to baking businesswoman Loren Brill. While battling Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in her early twenties, Loren became interested in health foods. But she couldn’t find many store-bought snacks that weren’t loaded with artificial flavors and ingredients. So after she recovered from cancer, Loren set out on another life-affirming mission: She founded Sweet Loren’s, which specializes in vegan cookie dough made with all-natural ingredients. Because she wanted to prove that one can be good to their body without giving up the sweet things in life.
