  • 35. How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Other People

    In this episode, Sam's ADHD goes absolutely unchecked as she explores the experience of comparing yourself to other people. We all do it. We compare ourselves to our friends and family, colleagues at work, strangers on the internet...it's hard not to, what with the social media of it all. And everyone repeats that tired old phrase (sorry Teddy Roze), "Comparison is the thief of joy." No, like...we get it. But how do we stop? That's what today is about.


    Listen to this episode if you're into the chatty/rambly episodes more than the research-heavy ones, if you're in the midst of a comparison spiral like Sam is, or if you want to learn a cool visualization exercise for bringing your manifestation to life.

  • 28. Are Your Workout Clothes Affecting Your Fertility?

    In this episode, Sam details a viral video urging people to stop wearing stretchy workout leggings. Between that and HealthTok, there's been a lot of noise lately about the dangers of synthetic materials in our clothes—polyester, nylon, spandex, elastane, and the like. Allegedly, they're endocrine disruptors, and may even contain carcinogens and other harmful chemicals. But is it a concern that actually moves the needle, or just a buzzy conversation designed to sell detoxes and create engagement on social media? As usual, Sam gets to the bottom of it.


    Listen to this episode if you're in the loop on HealthTok and always worried about a new endocrine disruptor, if you own lots of cute workout sets that are suspiciously stretchy and sweat-wicking, or if you're pursuing lifestyle changes in an effort to conceive.

    11:18 Effect of polyester on human male fertility (BAD)

    13:06 Did the human men ever recover their fertility?

    14:03 How much of our clothing consists of synthetic materials?

    15:05 Other bad things that can be found in our athleticwear, and how they affect us

    16:53 The terrifying truth about fast fashion brands

    In this episode, Sam delivers a lecture on the history of the "ideal" (read: socially rewarded) female body type. From the first recorded visual representation of the female form, through Ancient Rome and Greece, the Victorian Era, flappers, the Kardashians, and beyond, she explores the way western beauty standards have changed to reflect societal values at any given moment in time, and the implications and dangers of inflicting those beauty standards upon women. As the history becomes more recent, she reviews the current climate of social media, celebrities and influencers, GLP-1s like Ozempic, photo-editing apps, and more.

  • 26. Vanessa Rissetto: Seed Oils, Ultraprocessed Foods, Nutrition Myths, and More

    In this episode, Sam sits down with Vanessa Rissetto, a registered dietitian, Scorpio, and founder of Culina Health. They talk about the brokenness of American healthcare and how Culina is creating an inclusive nutrition economy before deep diving on all the buzzy topics we can't seem to escape in 2025. What are ultraprocessed foods doing to our bodies? Are seed oils really that bad? Are GLP-1s like Ozempic safe for aesthetic weight loss purposes?


    Listen to this episode if you've ever asked yourself any of those questions, if you're struggling with food noise in the wellness space, or if you want to hear realness from someone who's highly trained and certified to advise you...instead of a healthtokker.
