TW: Detailed discussion about diet advice and potential ED behaviors. It's the modern manifestation of toxic diet culture disguised as a bunch of 20-somethings loving themselves by hating themselves: give it up for SkinnyTok! This week, I'm pulling the curtain back on this popular social media phenomenon that has young women in a chokehold. Whether you love it or hate it, SkinnyTok is here...

As a popular TikTok creator, Remi Bader has captured the world with her fashion hauls and 'I'm so quirky' attitude. Lately, she's come under fire for her dishonesty in undergoing weight loss surgery (that is, until she appeared on Khloe Kardashian's podcast, who we all know is the queen of honesty). Comedian, thrift expert, and three-legged dog mom Carey Lieberman joins me on t...

“She doesn’t do comedy anymore,” says the ‘Top Fan’ on my Facebook page, who thinks he’s defending me against someone asking about when I’m coming to their city. It’s odd that as soon as I started this podcast and began focusing more on recovery, hundreds of my fans assumed it meant I wasn’t a comedian anymore. Sure, I’ve taken a step back from touring and working myself into the ground, but I sti...

This week I'm giving you a little summary of where body positivity came from. Ironically enough, I absolutely hated the way I looked in this episode and almost didn't air it. But in the spirit of body positivity, and the fact that we're living on a dying rock soaring through space with a facist regime hanging over our heads, I figured whelp - I might as well.  Most of the information i...

One day your friend gets into nutrition, then she's all about avoiding seed oils...soon she becomes anti-vax, and then you learn she voted for...Trump? The wellness to alt-right pipeline is alive and well, my friends. But what causes this phenomenon? How does one go from alternative medicine to QAnon? Well lucky for us, Molly Smith, host of the 'Did That Age Well' pod is here to dive into the dept...

If you watched the 2025 Superbowl, you probably saw the 'Hims' ad that sparked controversy all over the internet. The ad calls out the 'broken system' that is healthcare in America, as well as the toxic diet culture that permeates our society - but then turns it back around at the end to sell you their weight loss products. Not only did the ad cause some whiplash amongst internet u...

I cannot recommend it enough, and really hope you get some good tidbits out of...

I'm a perfectionist (shocker) and I even rewrote this description four times trying to make it succinct and witty enough to be perfect. But you know what? It's not that serious. In this episode, I go into depth about what perfectionism is, how it manifests in eating disorders, and what to do about it. Shout out to my therapist for giving me the idea to do this episode - you're a real o...
