  • Inclusivity

    Was really enjoying the podcast until the two people were talking and started saying things that were anti-trans because somehow there’s no way that you could somehow figure out how to differentiate and exclude and include different populations in research.. was pretty disappointing, considering in the same breath you were also saying how women have been left out of research for so long and how that’s really affected us . You might wanna look into the Neuro anatomy of women and trans people that... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Women Gain Weight on the Same Diet as Men: Fueling, Fasting, and Biology with Dr. Stacy Sims
Q: What dietary changes should midlife women consider beyond calories in vs. calories out?
Prioritize meal timing, high-quality protein, and fiber to support gut health and hormonal balance; avoid long daily fasting windows that disrupt circadian rhythms; front-load calories earlier in the day to support energy and sleep.
Why Women Gain Weight on the Same Diet as Men: Fueling, Fasting, and Biology with Dr. Stacy Sims
Q: Why are women not small men, and how should that change our approach to training?
Because women have different hormonal profiles, circadian rhythms, and biomechanical changes across puberty and menopause, their training, nutrition, and recovery should be tailored to these differences rather than applying a male-centric model.
The Truth About Your Biological Clock: Egg Quality, AMH and Fertility with Dr. Natalie Crawford
Q: How much of infertility is female factor versus male factor?
About 50% female and 50% male, with some cases being combined factors. This underscores the need for both partners to be involved in evaluation and treatment decisions.
The Truth About Your Biological Clock: Egg Quality, AMH and Fertility with Dr. Natalie Crawford
Q: Talk to me about fail first and why that's a problem.
The definition of infertility is trying to get pregnant for 12 months—though many people conceive within the first six months, a significant portion experience difficulties. Early evaluation (ovarian reserve testing, partner sperm analysis) can help people understand their situation sooner and avoid wasted time or misattribution of blame.
Menopause Masterclass: HRT Safety, Patch Absorption, Progesterone Intolerance, and Bone Density
Q: Are you a real doctor?
Yes, Dr. Haver confirms she is an MD, trained at LSU Medical Center with residency at UTMB, and licensed to practice in Texas and Colorado.
