Every 12 years, our skeletons undergo a complete transformation.

Prof. Tim Spector and Prof. Cyrus Cooper discuss how to avoid Osteoporosis, a condition where bones become fragile, significantly increases the risk of fractures from minor incidents, often without any noticeable symptoms. Worldwide, it affects one in three women and one in five men over fifty, leading to pain, potential disability and loss of independence.

Before she was cast on the early-2000s hit series, “One Tree Hill,” actress Bethany Joy Lenz was already in the clutches of a religious group she calls the “Big House Family.” In her new memoir, “Dinner for Vampires,” Bethany describes the calculated isolation a man named “Les” put her through in order to manipulate her and pilfer over $2 million of money she’d earned. Bethany discusses with me how her family dynamics forced her to become independent at a young age, how her aversion to the “small talk” culture of L.A. initially led her to the “Big House Family,” and how ultimately her love for her daughter gave her the strength to leave its clutches.

Introducing JC CHASEZ from LadyGang.

Follow the show: LadyGang

JC Chasez joins the LadyGang podcast as the latest guest, bringing his signature charm and insight into his latest project, the Broadway (hopefully) musical Playing with Fire. The conversation delves into the creative process behind the show, as JC opens up about his transition from pop superstar to theater innovator, sharing what it’s been like to explore a new artistic avenue. Of course, the topic quickly turns to *NSYNC, and JC reflects on the band's legacy, their reunion at the 2023 VMAs, and what it’s like to see the continued love for their music. And naturally, no LadyGang episode would be complete without a little nostalgia, so the ladies can’t resist asking about JC’s iconic *NSYNC wardrobe choices, particularly his famous turtlenecks. JC gives a playful and candid explanation behind those signature fashion statements, making this episode a perfect mix of Broadway buzz, pop culture reminiscing, and plenty of laughs.

The only thing more terrifying than being in the crosshairs of an assassin might be finding out someone you know has targeted you and that your doom is imminent. In his gripping new podcast “Kill List” (from Wondery and Novel – new episodes every week) investigative reporter Carl Miller uncovers a twisted trail to the Dark Web and a list of names and personal information of people seemingly marked for death. Carl breaks down working with a hacker and other journalists to expose the contractors, his desperate attempts to inform the targets of their danger, and the toll the story that he unwittingly exposed took on his mental health.
