HIP LAB

HIP LAB

HIP Lab is a mental health podcast for misfits, overthinkers, and high-functioning hot messes who are done with toxic positivity — but still want to feel better. Hosted by a scientist who’s crawled back from the edge more than a few times! Each episode we experiment in healing without the BS and forced PosITIve vIBeS. We’ll explore nervous system regulation, burnout-proof routines, supplements that don’t suck, and the science behind staying sane in an unhinged world.
