  • GLP-1s for Women Pt1: Why Being Overweight Was Never About Willpower #24

    GLP-1s for Women Pt1: Why Being Overweight Was Never About Willpower #24

    What do GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro actually do? In Part 1 of this four-part series, Dr Federica Amati, Head Nutritionist at ZOE and author of The Appetite Reset, explains why 'appetite suppressant' is the wrong way to think about them. They amplify a fullness signal your own gut already makes, holding it for about a week rather than a couple of minutes. From there she takes apart the willpower story: how the brain's hunger centre is wired differently from person to person, how genetics and influences before birth shape it, and why that matters for anyone deciding whether to start, or stay on, one of these drugs.

    KEY TOPICS
    - Why these are effective medicines, and why so many people are set up to waste them
    - Why so many people stop taking them, and what usually goes wrong
    - Sarcopenic obesity: losing fat without keeping strength
    - How GLP-1 drugs amplify the body's own satiety signal
    - Why 'natural Ozempic' supplements cannot copy the drug
    - The hypothalamus, genetics and why obesity is not a question of willpower
    - Whether GLP-1s may be lifelong for some people
    - Pregnancy, and why these drugs are not for women trying to conceive
    - Transgenerational influences: the Dutch Hunger Winter and endocrine-disrupting chemicals

  • #23 Pt3: Skeleton in the Closet - Stress, Trauma, HRT and the Full Risk Picture for Women's Bones

    #23 Pt3: Skeleton in the Closet - Stress, Trauma, HRT and the Full Risk Picture for Women's Bones
    Sep 29 2026

    In the final part of this three-part series, Gary Rhodes covers the complete risk factor landscape for bone loss — including the underappreciated role of emotional trauma and chronic stress. He gives a frank assessment of bisphosphonates and injectable bone drugs, makes a clear case for HRT as bone-protective, and connects skeletal health to the entire body system. Followed by curveball questions: books, investments, morning protocols, and the Tony Robbins partnership that has defined much of Gary's public platform.

    Key topics:
    Full risk factor list: smoking, alcohol, stress, trauma, drugs, hormonal contraception, eating disorders, over-exercising, non-weight-bearing sport, cancer treatment, genetic predisposition
    Emotional trauma and self-kindness as bone health variables
    Bisphosphonates: mechanism (slowing osteoclasts), place, and concerns about early prescription
    Injectable bone drugs: spontaneous fractures and the trabecular glueing concern
    HRT: oestrogen's bone-protective role; Dr Vonda Wright and Dr Louise Newson advocacy
    Genetic factors: predispositions to absorption, DNA testing
    Whole-body connections: bone marrow, magnesium storage, cardiovascular, cognitive, neurological links
    Mortality statistics: 15–30% death risk within 12 months of hip fracture over 65
    Osteoporosis kills more people than breast cancer and ovarian cancer combined
    Screen My Bones platform: 50,000 screening target, integrated health data roadmap
    Curveball: billboard message ("Osteoporosis is a choice")
    Curveball: current work (Screen My Bones platform, 50,000 scan target)
    Curveball: sidekick — Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich)
    Curveball: books — Unbreakable (Dr Vonda Wright), The 7 Habits (Stephen Covey), The 48 Laws of Power (Robert Greene), Dharma (Amish Tripathi), Tao Te Ching (Wayne Dyer)
    Curveball: purchase under £100 — water bottle
    Curveball: purchase under £1,000 — BrainTap headset (~$500–600)
    Curveball: best investment — Tony Robbins UPW event (2012)
    Curveball: unusual habit — ice bath + sauna 3–4x/week as morning protocol; cortisol awareness, no coffee until post-workout
    Tony Robbins firewalk story (walked the coals three times in one night)

  • #21 Pt1: Ocean Wave, Avalanche or Volcano? 40 Years of Female Orgasm Science

    #21 Pt1: Ocean Wave, Avalanche or Volcano? 40 Years of Female Orgasm Science
    Sep 15 2026
    Send us Fan MailAnna Lee, CEO and co-founder of Lioness, joins Judith to reveal what a dataset of around 100,000 orgasms has uncovered about female sexual pleasure — and how little the science had actually established before. This part covers how the Lioness biofeedback vibrator measures involuntary pelvic-floor contractions, the three distinct orgasm patterns the data reveals, and the finding that will genuinely surprise most listeners: orgasm strength tends to increase as women move into their fifties and sixties, not decline.Key topics discussed- What the Lioness device actually measures, and how biofeedback orgasm data works- The three orgasm patterns — ocean wave (rhythmic, most common), avalanche (high force tapering down), and volcano (rare, single explosive peak) — identified through involuntary pelvic-floor contractions- Why those patterns matter: correcting four decades of incomplete research based on a 1982 study of only 11 women- The type-switching debate: whether a person moves between orgasm patterns over time, and what the current data does and does not show- The age finding: women aged 51–60 appear to reach orgasm fastest and generate the strongest peak force — contradicting the widespread assumption that sexual pleasure declines with age- Why this podcast cares: the knowledge gap in female sexual health, and how understanding your own body is a health act, not a vanity oneTimestampsThese are estimates and may shift in final editing.0:00 — Introduction: Judith introduces Anna Lee and Lioness1:00 — What Lioness measures: involuntary pelvic-floor contractions during pleasure and orgasm2:30 — How the app works: pairing the device, reading the data, tracking lifestyle factors4:00 — The three orgasm patterns: ocean wave, avalanche, volcano6:30 — The 1982 Bohlen study (n=11) versus the Lioness dataset (~100,000 data points); the Pfaus/Hartmann research8:30 — The type-switching debate: do people move between patterns?10:00 — The age study: orgasm strength increases in the 51–60 range12:30 — Why this matters: "knowledge is pleasure," and the parallel to tracking sleep and nutrition14:00 — Fertility and orgasm type: what we do and do not know15:30 — End of Part 1ReferencesLioness Smart VibratorThe biofeedback device discussed throughout.
