1. Dr. FRED BUCKHOLD, SLU Care General Internist at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital, and a professor of medicine at St. Louis University School of Medicine.  What's his take on the continued summer surge of COVID cases?  What do we need to know about listeria and food poisoning -- in the wake of deli meat from Boar's Head being recalled?  What to make of the new deadlier strain of Mpox that is currently spreading to more countries?

2. Dr. PHILIP NIMOITYN, cardiologist at Cardiology Consultants of Philadelphia.  New research is helping doctors find preventative measures and treatments to prevent the leading cause of death -- heart attacks.  They are focusing on heart inflammation and how to keep it from occurring.

3. Dr. SHRENIKA REDDY, Mercy endocrinologist.  Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley says she has Graves Disease.  What is it?  Who is most at risk?  How serious can it be?  What is the treatment?  What are the symptoms?

4. Dr. MARC SIEGEL, FOX News Chief Medical Correspondent -- on vocal cord injuries and a ruptured larynx.  Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler is suffering from both of those and his band just announced it will retire from touring because he is not going to recover his vocal ability.  MATT SHEEHAN, OSF Health Care -- on healthy tea -- can you overdo it?  Which ones are the best? ANNA WERNER, CBS News Investigative Reporter -- on the latest weight loss pill internet scams.
