Hosted by Rosemarie Beltz—a cardiovascular perfusionist and journalist with nearly 30 years inside the operating room and high-stakes medical environments—this podcast explores the health questions most people don’t know how to ask… until it matters.

From hormones, metabolism, and heart health to longevity, sleep, and medical decision-making, each episode goes beyond headlines to examine what the research actually says, what gets overlooked, and how it applies in real life.Through in-depth conversations with physicians, researchers, and thought leaders—alongside honest reflections from the front lines of medicine—Second Opinion helps you think more clearly about your health, your choices, and what comes next.
