We all know gender inequality exists in the workplace. 

But there’s another kind of bias that’s been quietly derailing women’s careers… and it’s time we brought it into the spotlight. 

 
According to Napala Pratini, co-founder of Habitual, a revolutionary digital platform helping people lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes, studies show that women living with obesity are often seen as ‘less productive, less professional, lacking in self-discipline and less likely to lead’.


Meanwhile, men? They can be overweight and still get a pass to top. 🤯


But there is hope as well as powerful tools for change.

Tune in to hear:

🎧 How society and employers judge women based on weight
🎧 Why weight-loss medication alone isn’t the answer
🎧 How Habitual combines science, behaviour change, and mindset work to support long-term transformation

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.
