“You’re not ugly, you just have cortisol face”...so let’s get into it and debunk this madness. Today we’re unraveling the TikTok trend of 'Cortisol Face'. We break down what cortisol is, how stress affects our bodies, and why quick fixes like supplements and viral health hacks won't solve the problem. You’ll hear practical advice on processing stress, what works vs. what doesn’t work (hello apple cider vinegar), and explore the use of therapeutic tools in processing stress and inflammation.

How did “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” become “you are what you eat”, “food is medicine”, and a moral obligation to be healthy? In this episode we’re exploring the evolution of functional medicine and the influence of celebrity doctors from the early 2000s to the 2010s. We discuss the rise of food morality, the concept 'you are what you eat,' and the impact of documentaries like 'Supersize Me,' and the emergence of orthorexia. We also examine societal shifts in body image and health perceptions, highlighting the issues with the influencer-driven diet culture and the complicated relationship millennials have with food and body image.

In this episode, we dive deep into the idea that 'your body is not a report card.' This topic is inspired by a bonus episode we did on Patreon over the summer called “How do you make peace with weight gain?” that really hit home for a lot of people. Today, we discuss how societal norms and ingrained cultural messages have led many to view their bodies as a reflection of their worth and value. We’ll dive into the harmful implications of this mindset, the impact of fat phobia, discrimination, and the importance of taking morality out of body image conversations. We also explore strategies to help you cultivate body neutrality and protect your mental health in a judgmental world.

This summer reading recommendations episode is a little bit different than what we’ve done previously – this is an episode filled with great recommendations, but mostly not from what we’ve been reading this year. We wanted to spotlight more amazing books that aren’t talked about as much, books that live in our heads rent free even years later, and some overhyped books we unfortunately didn’t like. CHECK OUT THE FULL LIST OF RECOMMENDATIONS HERE.
