Microdosing. Discount codes. Diet culture rebranded as self-care.

In this episode, we unpack the latest "wellness" trend flooding your feed: microdosing GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide , and the influencers cashing in on it.

GLP-1s were originally developed for diabetes and obesity, but now they’re being sold as “longevity hacks,” and “tools for metabolic optimization”, often through affiliate links, telehealth loopholes, and wellness influencers promising everything but the moon.

But here's the truth: this isn’t health care. It’s diet culture with a prescription pad and a commission check.

We dive deep into:

• The rise of influencer-driven GLP-1 marketing
• How GLP-1 telehealth companies are paying up to 40% commission per sale
• Why this trend targets vulnerable women under the guise of wellness
• The ethical and regulatory mess brewing behind the scenes
• FDA/FTC concerns in the U.S.
• How this is 90's diet culture all over again

As always, if you are considering a GLP-1, please consult with your doctor and receive the guidance and support necessary - not an online pill mill that pays wellness influencers a commission on your health.

Whatsup, ya Nerdles! Are your maintenance calories frustratingly low, even though you're doing everything “right”? Maybe you're feeling like your metabolism tanked the second you hit your 40s or 50s?

In this episode, we’re breaking down what’s really going on with your metabolism during perimenopause and menopause and why diet culture, not menopause, is often to blame. We talk about how you can rebuild your metabolism without fear, how to strength train for real results, and how to stop being scared to eat more.

This episode was inspired by a listener comment on our menopause episode with Dr. Allan Bacon—and it sparked a raw, real convo about what women are never told about midlife, metabolism, and muscle.

What We Cover:

• Why your metabolism isn’t “broken”—but it is underfed and under muscled!

• How chronic dieting lowers your maintenance calories (and how to fix it)

• Why strength training is the most powerful tool in midlife

• How to know if you're lifting hard enough to get results

• How to push past the fear of gaining weight when eating more

• • A client example of switching from group fitness classes with tons of cardio, to traditional strength training

  
  

  You can increase your calories, lift heavier, and feel amazing in your body again—but you’ve got to stop trying to shrink it to do so.

Whatsup!! This week we are excited to sit down with Dr. Spencer Nadolsky; a board-certified obesity specialist, family physician, and meme legend known also as The Doctor Who Lifts to cut through the crap with us and get real about what actually drives fat loss.

We talk about:

• Why "eat less, move more" is technically true but much more complex than that

• The truth about cortisol, hormones, and weight gain (spoiler: it’s not what wellness grifters say)

• How GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy actually work

• Why most traditional doctors are unequipped to support long-term weight loss

• The broken healthcare model — and how direct care is changing the game

We also get personal about our own past with detoxes, hormone hype, and spending way too much money on supplements that didn’t solve the problem.

If you’ve ever felt confused or overwhelmed by weight loss advice online, you don't want to miss this one!

Are you frustrated with your lack of fat loss results? We hear you. We see you. In this episode, we discuss the important of consistency, patience, and tracking!

If you aren't seeing the results that you think you should be, it's likely that you're making mistakes when it comes to tracking and logging your food. These mistakes may not seem like not a very big deal, but when looking at the bigger picture, these mistakes are you ultimately keeping you from being consistent..and consistency is the name of the game!

Change in life is inevitable. Because change is inevitable, the skill of pivoting is also crucial! Change isn't limited to just changing our habits and behaviors. Change is all around us. It's how we handle that change that matters.

This week we had a great conversation all about change, which led us into talking about a big change that every woman experiences at some point in her life - menopause. There's a reason it's referred to as "The Big Change"!

We discuss Beth's menopause experience, offer some practical advice for helping you during this change, and hope that you feel empowered and confident after listening to this episode.

Have you been made to feel like your body is broken and you need to be fixed? Unfortunately, women have been told they aren't enough their entire life, and going through menopause is no exception to this.

This week we are chatting with Coach Renee Bellinger, who helps us bring awareness to myths surrounding menopause and how menopause influencers target perimenopausal and menopausal women by making them feel like they are broken, while selling them solutions that will fix them.

Our conversation doesn't stop there as we put a heavy emphasis on building habits, behavior change, mindful eating, and offer up some practical tips to help you combat emotional eating!
