A Doctor's View
A Doctor’s View takes a deeper look at common medical and health-related issues, approaching each topic with clarity, honesty, and a thoughtful, reflective style.
Hosted by Dr Polyvios, the podcast connects clinical insight with everyday experience — exploring the medical facts, the psychology behind them, and how they shape everyday life.
A calm, engaging space for anyone who wants to understand health and the human experience more clearly — all from a light-hearted but opinionated doctor’s perspective.
