Still trusting “clean beauty” labels? That might be your first mistake.

From "fragrance" loopholes to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, your skincare, shampoo, deodorant, and toothpaste could be quietly hijacking your hormones.

Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on what ingredients to avoid, how to decode your personal care labels, and the 5 hormone disruptors you need to stop using now to beat brain fog, boost your energy, and finally get the scale moving again.

In this episode, we‘ll address your most commonly asked questions, including:

✅ What are endocrine disruptors and why are they bad?

✅ Which chemicals mimic estrogen in the body?

✅ Can shampoo or conditioner affect my hormones?

✅ Are parabens dangerous for women over 40?

✅ Can aluminum in deodorant affect my thyroid?

✅ How do fragrances in beauty products mess with hormones?

✅ What personal care chemicals impact perimenopause symptoms like brain fog or fatigue?

If your lotion smells like cupcakes but your hormones are a dumpster fire—this episode’s for you!

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
