It's Oktoberfest time, and so episode 13 tackles the questions many are asking right now: What does alcohol do to the body, what causes hangovers, what should you eat at the festival, and what's best left alone? Dr. Spitzbart recounts how, as a health manager for a large company, he once experienced the Oktoberfest binge himself and why he hasn't touched a drop since. He explains why a healthy liver feels like fresh calf's liver and a fatty liver like a Tempur mattress, why soda is almost as damaging to the liver as beer, and how quickly the organ recovers with the right diet.

Then the discussion turns to more fundamental topics: doctors, continuing education, and the role of the pharmaceutical industry behind it all. What happens when you face opposition from the medical association? The malaria headlines and why Dr. Spitzbart has never taken prophylaxis despite numerous trips to Africa. How not to let media fears drive you crazy. Why nature is often the best doctor. And whether AI will one day replace the family doctor. And finally, his tips for a strong immune system during the cold season and the question of what a healthcare system worthy of the name should look like.
