You Represent Science
You Represent Science is hosted by Dr. Deb Newitz — a doctor, a patient advocate, and someone who spent years inside a system she eventually had to start questioning. This show is built on a simple but meaningful idea: that patients represent science. They are part of it. Their experiences, their stories, and their outcomes matter.
Each episode examines the gap between what gets published, what gets prescribed, and what patients actually live. This is where that examination begins.

Welcome to You Represent Science, hosted by Dr. Deb Newitz. This week, Deb introduces the philosophy behind the show, explaining why she believes patients deserve a bigger voice in modern medicine and why the phrase "You Represent Science" is at the heart of everything to come.
After an unexpected guest cancellation sparks a conversation about open dialogue in healthcare, Dr. Deb explores a topic she has spent decades observing in clinical practice: the medical conditions that can be mistaken for anxiety, depression, and other psychiatric disorders. From vitamin B12 deficiency and thyroid disease to celiac disease, Lyme disease, menopause, medication side effects, and lifestyle factors, she shares the patterns she's seen and why she believes every patient deserves a thorough evaluation before symptoms are dismissed.
Whether you're a patient, caregiver, or healthcare professional, this episode is an invitation to ask better questions, advocate for yourself, and remember that good medicine starts with listening.
