  • Let the guests speak

    Great premise and guests, but I wish the host would stop talking after she asks a question so the guest can answer fully. Not so helpful when a host is speaking over their guest. Again, though, good content and premise.

  • Liz Barlak episode

    I've written before to say that this is simply one of the best podcast out there and that Gin is an incredible interviewer! However, the guest in this episode 504 is so judgmental and not genuine, and I wish she would be called out on it. She talks about over eaters anonymous and how no one in there was losing weight without stating that the point of OA is not to lose weight it is to get over your food addiction and love yourself. She said she went for a year and was the skinniest person there a... more

  • GLP-1 Hate

    I have been following Gin for years and have listened to all her content. In the most recent episode, I heard her (again) speaking about GLP-1 injections disparingly as if everyone who takes them is taking the easy way out and doesn’t want to do the hard work.

    This idea is so outdated. Diabetes is a disease and GLP-1s help to treat that disease. They are not a silver bullet and anyone who takes them must still “do the work” but they give people a fighting chance.

    It is a shame to hear Gin co... more
