*“Women need classes on how to track their menstrual cycles.” And I think we all learned it at like 11, sir? Women are not confused about what our menstrual cycles are doing.*
I wish this was true. As a health care practitioner who treats infertility I can't tell you the number of people who menstruate who are unaware of when they are most fertile during their menstrual cycle. Once I educate them and direct them to resources (shout out to Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Terri Weschler) I often hear "I wish they taught this in sex ed".
To be clear I am not supporting government oversight of menstrual tracking. I do support more education on the details of fertility for people who menstruate. This information is invaluable for conception and contraception.
The Bare brand of chicken nuggets is so good. I think they make other cuts/versions too. I’m sure “bare” has some connotation of these are healthy, but really, they are just killer good. Don’t be fooled by Costco packaging theirs in a green bag to fool you into buying them instead of Bare. Ask me how I know.
Thank you for this! I came here to ask Virginia which brand, because that's such a stellar idea. I'll definitely look for these next time I'm at Costco.
Completely tangential, but I was amused that the transcription software at one point heard "trad wives" as "dread waves." I think I might start calling them "dread waves."
Loved this conversation. Two of my favorite voices for calling out the absurdity and hypocrisy of diet/wellness culture. Always appreciate gallows humor to get us through the dark times!
Find it fascinating how little this administration emphasizes that viruses can be mass disabling…. The inflammation that is caused by acute and chronic viral infections is directly linked to MS (EBV), heart attacks and diabetes (SARS COV2), etc. Not like we have tools to prevent viral inflammation, such as vaccines or masks, or anything!!
So much for MAHA!
Also find it funny how people are so desperate to ignore that neurodivergence runs in families… the call is coming from inside the house and I guess it’s easier to torture your kid with ADHD by feeding them 100 unregulated supplements to try to “cure” them than to evaluate if grandpa also had ADHD symptoms!

I feel like the podcast episodes have been really extra good lately, they're the first ones I listen to when I open my podcast app! So nice :)
This made me think of the book Doppelgänger by Naomi Klein particularly the early parts about how we got to this place. It’s a really great read.

Came here to say YES to frozen chicken tenders. Such an unsung hero. So versatile and delish
But also, can you drop the overalls pattern? I can’t decide on one and I also love the distraction!
Such a great conversation!! Thank you for the shout out <3
