About the show
Molecules Matter with Dr. Dan is a science-based podcast exploring how specific molecules found in plants, fungi, and foods influence human health. Each episode dives into one molecule—or class of molecules—examining where it comes from, how it’s made in nature, why plants use it, and how it interacts with human biology. Grounded in peer-reviewed research, this podcast separates mechanism from marketing and replaces wellness noise with molecular understanding—because when you understand molecules, health stops being mysterious.
