    GLP-1 Medications Beyond Weight Loss: What the Science Actually Shows About Semaglutide
    Mar 13 2026
    GLP-1 medications like semaglutide are often talked about as weight-loss drugs, but the science is revealing a much bigger story. In the first of this two-part discussion, Stacy welcomes back clinical nutritionist and author Jessica Brown to explore what research is actually showing about GLP-1 medications and whole-body health. They unpack emerging science around inflammation, immune regulation, metabolic health, and gut function, and why these medications may impact far more than weight. Stacy shares her own experience starting a GLP-1 medication and the mindset shift that comes with re-examining long-held beliefs about diet culture, intuitive eating, and health.

  • Was Wuthering Heights Ever Romantic?

    Was Wuthering Heights Ever Romantic?
    Mar 6 2026
    Was Wuthering Heights ever actually romantic—or have we been misreading it for generations? Stacy and bestie Daynah takes a closer look at Emily Brontë’s classic and the cultural myth of the “passionate love story.” Catherine and Heathcliff are often framed as one of literature’s greatest romances, but their relationship may be far closer to obsession, trauma, and toxic attachment than enduring love. They unpack how adaptations and modern retellings have softened the novel’s darker themes, why brooding male anti-heroes still dominate romantic storytelling, and how destructive relationships keep getting rebranded as passion. The discussion also turns to Hamnet, the film that reframes Shakespeare’s legacy through grief, motherhood, and the emotional labor often erased from history. Together, these stories open a bigger conversation about passion vs. stability—and why media still struggles to portray healthy love as compelling. In the end, it raises a simple question: why do we keep romanticizing the relationships that hurt the most?

  • Hormone Pioneer Myth-Busts Aging, HRT and Anxiety during (Peri)Menopause

    Hormone Pioneer Myth-Busts Aging, HRT and Anxiety during (Peri)Menopause
    Feb 27 2026
    Women are still being told that fatigue, anxiety, heavy bleeding, mood swings, and brain fog are “just part of aging.” But what if they’re symptoms of perimenopause and no one is connecting the dots? Stacy sits down with hormone therapy pioneer Dr. Marcia Harris to separate myth from science around aging, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and midlife mental health. With more than 40 years of experience, Dr. Harris explains how the Women’s Health Initiative study reshaped menopause care for decades, why many physicians stopped being properly trained in hormone therapy, and how that gap continues to leave women dismissed and misdiagnosed. They unpack the difference between perimenopause and menopause, why anxiety and exhaustion are often hormonal, not personal, and how estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone impact heart health, bone density, muscle mass, brain function, and overall vitality.

  • How to Stay Married for 24 Years: Intimacy, Change & Choosing Each Other

    How to Stay Married for 24 Years: Intimacy, Change & Choosing Each Other
    Feb 22 2026
    Stacy and her husband, Matt, recently celebrated 24 years of marriage, and they’re sharing what actually keeps a long-term relationship alive. From career shifts and identity changes to grief, depression, parenting stress, and intimacy after 40, this is an honest look at what it takes to stay connected when life gets complicated. They talk about why genuinely liking each other matters more than simply “being in love,” how emotional intimacy shapes physical intimacy, and how ADHD, medication, hormones, and rejection sensitivity can affect connection over time. They explore choosing communication over resentment, growing together instead of apart, redefining masculinity within partnership, and why social media marriages rarely tell the full story. After 24 years, they’ve learned that love isn’t about perfection — it’s about choosing each other, especially in the hard seasons.

  • Why Are We All Obsessed with Heated Rivalry?

    Why Are We All Obsessed with Heated Rivalry?
    Feb 6 2026
    Why is Heated Rivalry resonating so deeply across audiences? Besties Stacy and Daynah are joined by Stacy’s queer bestie and work wife Lauren to unpack the cultural obsession with this breakout hockey romance that has taken over the internet. What looks like a steamy rivals-to-lovers story opens into a much bigger conversation about tender masculinity, explicit consent, queer joy, and why this kind of representation feels radically different from most romance on screen. The episode also examines allyship, supportive parents, chosen family, and what it means to love queer media at a moment when LGBTQ+ communities face growing backlash. This is a thoughtful, funny, and deeply human conversation about why Heated Rivalry isn’t just popular — it matters. Listener Note: This episode includes spoilers for Heated Rivalry and frank discussion of sexuality, intimacy, and queer relationships.
