Office Hours: Is “the seal”…real?
We’ve all been there. You’re having an adult beverage, and suddenly, you feel the urge to “go”... and after you go once, you're making repeated trips to the bathroom all night.

If not, what's actually happening behind the scenes? Dr. Jeffrey Held joins the pod to help us unravel the mysteries of our own plumbing.
