About Fork U with Dr. Terry Simpson
Fork U(niversity) Not everything you put in your mouth is good for you. There’s a lot of medical information thrown around out there. How are you to know what information you can trust, and what’s just plain old quackery? You can’t rely on your own “google fu”. You can’t count on quality medical advice from Facebook. You need a doctor in your corner. On each episode of Your Doctor’s Orders, Dr. Terry Simpson will cut through the clutter and noise that always seems to follow the latest medical news. He has the unique perspective of a surgeon who has spent years doing molecular virology research and as a skeptic with academic credentials. He’ll help you develop the critical thinking skills so you can recognize evidence-based medicine, busting myths along the way. The most common medical myths are often disguised as seemingly harmless “food as medicine”. By offering their own brand of medicine via foods, These hucksters are trying to practice medicine without a license. And though they’ll claim “nutrition is not taught in medical schools”, it turns out that’s a myth too. In fact, there’s an entire medical subspecialty called Culinary Medicine, and Dr. Simpson is certified as a Culinary Medicine Specialist. Where today's nutritional advice is the realm of hucksters, Dr. Simpson is taking it back to the realm of science.

How to Spice Things Up
Published 16 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] That finally brings us to Sweden. After all those armies, conquests, and trading companies, I'd like to end our travel somewhere a little more pleasant, the coffee shop in Sweden. In 1709, King Charles XII of Sweden lost a rather important battle against the Russians at Poltova. He subsequently spent several years in Ottoman territory, licking his wounds and seeking refuge. During his stay, he developed a taste for Turkish coffee. Now, coffee wasn't entirely unknown in Sweden before Charles XII, but his enthusiasm helped make it fashionable. Over time, coffee became a part of Swedish life, and eventually the Swedes developed a wonderful tradition called fika. […]
