We’re Not Ovary-acting: Women’s Health Myths Are The Worst
On this week’s episode of the pod, Jess is joined by Dr. Karen Tang (OB/Gyn and science communicator) to debunk common women’s health myths and misconceptions. In honor of Endometriosis month, the two docs start there and discuss what endometriosis is and isn’t, how it’s diagnosed, and treated. Next, they chat about PCOS and discuss the lack of evidence supporting special diets purported to cure it. The conversation shifts to bacterial vaginosis (and BV trends on TikTok that— spoiler alert— are not evidence-based), HPV, birth control, and more.

Dishin' on Food and Nutrition Myths with Dr. Idz
On this episode of the pod, Jess sits down with Dr. Idz to debunk misinformation about food and nutrition (yep, it's time for school)! The conversation kicks off with a discussion about differences in approaches to food policy and regulation in the US versus the UK and other countries. Next, the two discuss common myths including that seed oils cause inflammation (they don't) and that processed foods are inherently bad for you. This leads into a deeper discussion about processed versus ultraprocessed foods-- and how the bigger issue is the proportion of diet that comprises ultraprocessed foods. The main message is that moderation is key! They discuss ways to spot food-related pseudoscience and fearmongering and protect yourself from falling prey to misinformation on social media.

On this week's episode of the pod, we are revisiting a topic that we had hoped we could leave in the past: MEASLES.
