  • Since you asked…

    Terrific resource. Does help point me to the gym and is a factor is gradually helping me over come my fear of free weights and

    Bar-bells. Definitely am convinced I need to lift more and move more.

  • No bleeps!

    Finally! A podcast that drops F-bombs like it’s their job. Can’t tell you how annoying bleeps are. Absolutely refreshing!

    Side note: My feed is now chock full o’ grifters.

  • Meh - not my cup of tea

    There is a fine line between attacking ideas and attacking the person and this podcast often falls on the wrong side. The hosts are very harsh going so far as to condescendingly rip into a listener who left a 2 star review (episode 89). Getting rid of the snide comments and giggles would go a long way to removing the "mean girl" vibe.

    And while I am writing a review, this quote has bugged me since I heard it in episode 110:

    “It's interesting because I hear people say, I feel during ovulation,... more

  • One Star

    I was really disappointed to hear your approach to questioning Dr Stacy Sims on the episode I’ve just listened to. I think there is a way to question a peer without turning into ‘mean girls’, laughing and ridiculing. I was curious to hear a difference in opinion but I didn’t find that from your podcast, only an immature approach to someone you don’t align with and differs from what you believe yourself.

  • The hating has gotten tedious

    I absolutely believe these two do their research and have a lot of knowledge, but they have also begun to reek of “we’re the only ones who know anything.” I enjoy some critical discussion, but theirs are so critical as to sound snarky and mean girly. I’m too old for this.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

124: Doctor or Brand? Amanda Thebe on the Midi Health Model
Q: What should listeners do to protect themselves when navigating menopause care online or through telemedicine?
Listeners should consult reputable sources like menopause societies, seek certified providers, gather symptoms and medication history before visits, and be prepared to ask for evidence-based options while avoiding unproven, expensive products.
124: Doctor or Brand? Amanda Thebe on the Midi Health Model
Q: How do venture capital and pricing strategies affect menopause care in this space?
The guests argue that VC funding creates pressure for rapid returns, which can push care toward high-margin, long-term upsell products rather than sustained, evidence-based treatment; they emphasize transparent ethics and patient-centered care over investor-driven growth.
122: A Science Communicator Explains Pseudoscience, with Dr. Joe Schwarcz, PhD
Q: What are two or three important questions for the layperson to ask when they see a new claim about something?
Where does the information come from? Was it in a peer-reviewed journal or in a report of a peer-reviewed journal, or did you see a reel on Instagram?
122: A Science Communicator Explains Pseudoscience, with Dr. Joe Schwarcz, PhD
Q: Dr. Schwarz, why do you think that pseudoscientific health claims tend to spread so effectively, even among educated and well-intentioned people?
Because they're seductive. What they propose are simple solutions to complex problems. That is a very seductive thing. It's very alluring to think that you can just pop this pill or take that dietary supplement.
116: Coaching Strength, Building Character with James Lederach, MS, CSCS
Q: How do you talk to someone with concerns that strength training could interfere with their sport performance?
If the training is structured correctly, there should be no interference; dosage is key.
