This is a fan fav episode. I have a special treat for you today! It's an incredible conversation with the Mother of Holistic Medicine, Dr Gladys McGarey, the 102-year-old woman that changed the world of medicine at a time when women weren't even allowed to vote..  Gladys is internationally known for her ground-breaking work in holistic medicine. She's been honored for being a pioneer, she's been to Afghanistan teaching women safer birth practices that led to a 47% decrease in infant mortality rates in that area. Gladys has been inducted into the Arizona's Women Hall of Fame, and the impact of her work has reached hundreds of thousands of people all over the world.  She accomplished this and so much more and did it through a time when women weren't even doctors. Talk about resilience and true wisdom! Gladys is testament to the power of a life well-lived and filled with love.  I hope you're ready to be blown away. We jump straight into Gladys' shock, humiliation and unexpected victory after being publicly divorced by her partner of 46 years, and why on Earth she literally put herself in his shoes. Gladys is the original 103-year-old boss-babe before babes were bossing and voicing their opinions. She's sharp, fierce, and living her best fulfilled life full of love that has led to 6 life lessons that every woman going through something needs to hear today. If you've been through a painful divorce or breakup, if you know what it's like to not have a voice, and you find yourself struggling some days to even see the simple moments of life then this episode is the medicine you need.  Original air date: 8-2-2023 Follow Gladys McGarey: Website: ⁠https://gladysmcgarey.com/⁠  YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/c/DrShefali⁠  TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@doctorshefali/⁠  Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/begladmd/⁠  Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/doctorshefali⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

There are dozens of reasons why dating nowadays is so hard for men and women. While lack of communication seems to be a significant factor, being able to read the people you date is also part of the equation. Is he asking you out just because he's interested in sex? He booked reservations at a high-end restaurant you've been wanting to go to, does this mean he's serious about you? You're having a great time together, what will he think if you decide to sleep with him on the first date? Being able to spot red flags is great, but it helps very little without you being brave enough to address it, ask questions and assess his behavior also. Stephan Speaks, one of YouTube's favorite relationship experts has a straightforward approach and way of helping women (and men) understand and see the challenges everyone is facing. Dating is complicated and there's a lot of unhelpful advice being shared with both sexes. This episode is going to help you spot the red flags if he's only in it for the sex, learn how to better interpret his actions, determine if he's toxic or just not the guy for you, and figure out how to solve the dating problems keeping you single.

This is a fan fav episode. Seduction is talked about being manipulative. The art of seduction is usually sexually charged with a lack of connection and one motive, to get what you want at someone else's expense. Well, I have to tell you after talking with Chen Lizra, the social entrepreneur of seduction and empowerment, it's abundantly clear that influence and seduction have more to do with confidence, self-worth, and pride for all that you are and what you bring to the table. Now, that's a tool every woman can use in her tool belt.  We talk about the misconceptions tied to seduction, why it's a powerful skill in the boardroom that doesn't have to ever be sexually charged, and what to do if you're feeling blocked from tapping into your seduction. Later, we get into the truth about attraction and why those butterflies we feel meeting someone aren't a sign of love at first sight, it's a big fat red flag for this and after watching this episode with Dr Laura Berman, you'll never think about those butterflies the same again.

Craving love can connect us—or leave us vulnerable to harm we never saw coming. In this episode, I (Lisa Bilyeu) sit down with evolutionary anthropologist Dr. Anna Machin to peel back the science behind why we're drawn to love, why it can blind us to red flags, and how manipulators like narcissists and psychopaths use our own biology against us. With fascinating research, actionable advice, and hard-earned empathy, Anna breaks down not only how we get trapped but also the precise path out—so you can reclaim your confidence, trust your instincts, and invite in the healthy love you deserve. SHOWNOTES How love can biologically blind you to manipulation—and what to do about it The “dark triad”: What makes narcissists, psychopaths, and Machiavellians so dangerous in relationships Why our brains shut down red flag detection at the euphoric start of falling in love The addictive chemistry of love: Oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin, and beta-endorphin explained How emotional abusers isolate you and make you question your reality The real science behind jealousy, what it signals, and when it turns toxic Understanding attachment styles and why anxious-preoccupied types are more vulnerable What makes leaving so hard (hint: withdrawal and isolation) and how to rebuild your life afterward The crucial role of friends, support networks, and self-trust after an abusive relationship Hope after heartbreak: Why real, healthy love is still out there for you FOLLOW DR.

This is a fan fav episode. Relationships can be really fun and exciting, and they can also get a bit messy, awkward and questionable. Even after investing years of your life. Pop quiz for the ladies still searching for the right relationship and for the ones questioning the relationship they're in now, and you have to be totally honest. Have you chosen the wrong relationship because it beat the idea of being alone? At least you weren't the single friend, or the one that walked away first. Can you think of someone you dated that clearly only happened because you lowered your standards enough? Has the thought of starting over and walking away from a relationship that obviously had no future kept you in an unhealthy, unhappy, and unfulfilling relationship way past the expiration date? If you answered yes to any of these questions and smirked thinking about your friend, sister, or cousin that would be a HELL YEAH to one or more of these questions, then you're in for a treat. Today's guest, Case Kenny, is one of the most influential voices of reason for millennials, an internet entrepreneur and the host of the podcast, New Mindset, Who Dis? Case is talking with Lisa and shares why being alone isn't just 1000% better than settling for the wrong person, it's freaking dangerous!

Continuing their illuminating conversation, Lisa Bilyeu and Dr. Andrew Huberman return in Part 2 to unravel even more of the mysteries behind male behavior, relationships, and the neuroscience that underpins it all. Picking up where Part 1 left off, this episode transitions into the hot-button topics of jealousy, male self-worth, and the unique pressures that men face today. Andrew breaks down the pitfalls of toxic jealousy, the motivation behind “more money, more muscle” mindsets, and why so many men struggle with overwhelm and self-destructive coping strategies—including the often-taboo subject of porn. The duo also tackles emotionally charged terrain like shame, vulnerability, and why crying means something so different for men than it does for women. Through honest stories and raw admissions, Andrew shares what helps men build resilience, manage emotional pain, and ultimately open up to healing in partnership. Lisa and Andrew don't shy away from the cultural shifts facing both men and women, unpacking the future of relationships, marriage, and what it takes to foster genuine intimacy. If you want the real story on male mental health, the role of partnership as a catalyst for growth, and practical advice for creating safer, more compassionate connections—this part is a must-listen.

Lisa Bilyeu is joined by the renowned neuroscientist, Stanford professor, and podcast host Dr. Andrew Huberman. Known for his expertise in brain science and his unique ability to make complex topics accessible, Andrew brings a much-needed perspective to the question: What are men really thinking? With honesty, a deep respect for nuance, and a bit of humor, Andrew answers Lisa's burning questions about the male brain, uncovering the scientific and social factors that drive men's behavior in relationships, love, and life. Part 1 dives deep into the neuroscience of falling in love, the impact of male genetics and hormones, and the evolving dynamics of masculinity. From the infamous “what would happen if?” drive that propels so many men, to the complexity of competitiveness, hierarchy, and vulnerability, Lisa and Andrew explore what it means to be male today—and why understanding these truths matters for women striving to build better relationships. Whether you're curious about male motivation, the stereotype of emotional unavailability, or just want more compassion across the gender divide, this conversation is packed with revelations and practical wisdom.

This is a fan fav episode. One of the worst experiences in a woman's love life is the moment she wakes up to the reality of a verbally abusive, toxic, or unhealthy relationship. It's so easy to get swept away in a relationship where love turns into a loss of confidence, strength, and a general sense of self.  You know this channel is about empowering you to be the hero of your own life. We want you to have the confidence you need to keep fighting for your dream. This episode in particular is a reminder that you have to know your worth to go after the dream you want and deserve. Marina Worre turned her life around from lost and broken to ultra successful and badass. Marina is CEO of Network Marketing Pro and serial entrepreneur that started her first business at 18 years old. In spite of being brilliant enough to start a business at 18, love can really throw us all off course in life. She lost herself and came back to build a stronger, wiser, even more capable Marina 2.0 that now inspires millions of women around the world. This conversation scores high on relatability and total badassery. Marina and Lisa discuss what it took for Marina to arrive at the “I'm done” point of an abusive situation, the power of the thoughts you're repeating to yourself, right now, and how to start building your own empire of confidence.

This is a fan fav episode. For the highly motivated driven woman reading this, we've got one question for you. What are you chasing after? When you show up in your career or your business, are you getting the respect you want or is everyday the battle for your boundaries and peace of mind? Angie Martinez, Radio Hall of Famer, The Voice of New York, Radio Hip Hop Legend, has earned the respect of some of the biggest names in hip hop like Jay-Z and TuPac. Angie went from a young girl with zero experience interning at Hot 97 in New York to being synonymous with hip hop culture and generating value beyond anything she ever imagined. She's definitely of the Hustle Hard mentality and like many of us she's had to learn how to speak up and hold her ground in a culture that can be totally intimidating. Angie's path to becoming the legend that she is was rough, not clearly defined and something we all can relate to. How do you crawl through a mile of crap and become resilient as heck on the other side of it all? You pick yourself up, decide the story you're going to tell yourself, and learn that there needs to be harmony between what you're chasing and being content where you are right now.

This is a Fan Fav episode. How many times have you come across influencers and ads on social media promoting intermittent fasting for weight loss, increasing energy and feeling great? The issue for us as women is that we get half the story, none of the results we're really after and rarely does it turn into anything we can sustain over time. You're left feeling frustrated, anxious, still overweight and bloated, and more like your energy has taken a nosedive. The Fasting MD is on set this time with Lisa, Dr. Amy Shah, and the way she simplifies fasting for women that works in alignment with our cravings, our hormones and monthly cycles is seriously a Game Changer! Dr. Amy Shah is a double-board certified medical doctor specializing in food allergies, hormones and gut health. Her book, I'm So Effing Tired, is more like a groundbreaking blueprint for women to take control of their health like never before. In this episode Dr. Shah is laying out the foundational things we need to understand as women about our menstrual cycles and how to fast effectively to maximize your energy levels, your quality of sleep, and your hormones. Today is about how we stop fighting our biology, give ourselves grace, and learn to customize your approach to fasting, and why you'll want to start fasting, like today (or at least tomorrow). Key Pointers from Dr. Shah: 3-5 days Before Your Cycle: Avoid fasting, exercise, and big decisions - Eat high fiber, low glycemic foods. Focus on self care. Days 1-3 of your period - hormones are resetting, pay attention to how you are feeling. Day 14 of Your Monthly Cycle: Testosterone is spiking. Time to go harder on workout and make big confident bold moves during this time. How to Check-In with Yourself: How is your energy level? How is your sleep? How are your cravings? How are your hormones?

This is a Fan Fav episode. Good news ladies! If you haven't figured it out yet, there's sex of all kinds for us to enjoy, and it's not all about His parts. There's much more to sex than penetration, his pleasure, and the nonsensical pressure to perform like a porn star in the bedroom every night. This episode is dedicated to a happier, healthier sex life for the empowered badass woman that's prioritizing her health and well-being. Depending on your background, religious beliefs, and parental tolerance for the conversation of sex, you may not realize the sex-pectations society has pushed on you or the reason your sex drive is non-existent some days. Dr. Jolene Brighton is the sex-ed doc we all wish our younger selves had (but you've got her now, so pay attention!) She's the author of the book we all need to check out, Is This Normal? Judgment Free Straight Talk About Your Body. She's a clinical sexologist helping women, a.k.a. “vulva owners” get answers to the questions they dare not say allowed or in mixed company. In this episode Lisa's putting aside all the shame and embarrassment to get the takeaways every woman needs to hear today: Why sex drive is the top complaint women have, and all the things we do to ruin it If you didn't have a big enough reason to practice mindfulness, having orgasm may be the best reason yet The unnecessary shame for women around pleasing their partner and having to make their own lubrication or else What Arousal Non-Concordance is and the fight between your brain and genitals Why size does actually matter (a lot) Male centric messages about sex have been screwing up our sex lives, our pleasure and our health.We've got a lot of messages wrong about porn, about orgasms, and about intimacy.

This is a Fan Fav episode. One of the hardest things to accept as an adult is that many of the beliefs you have about yourself and the world you live in were developed from a childhood where you didn't know any better and you weren't equipped with the resources or capacity to process the complexities of life happening all around you. Those experiences helped you shape the story you tell yourself today. Whether the story is good or bad is irrelevant considering that chances are the story isn't even accurate or factual. Marissa Peer is not just a best-selling author, she is a trained hypnotherapist that created Rapid Transformational Therapy, or RTT. She joins Lisa here to discuss the ideas from her latest book, Tell Yourself a Better Lie. Her tips and strategies are powerful to rewrite your story and create a narrative that gives you meaning, fulfillment and more happiness.

This is a Fan Fav episode. As much as you hate to admit it, relationships are vital to our happiness and success in life. The relationship you have with yourself , your romantic partner, your family, friends and co-workers dictate more than you can imagine. Dr. Molly Maloof, author of The Spark Factor, believes in relationships and connections so much she's created a lecture for Stanford University called Live Better Longer. She touches on the value of social connection and its impact on long-term health and disease. Molly talks with Lisa in this episode and runs down the power of love, what intense romantic love feels like, and an entire masterclass on sexual desire and arousal. The fact that Molly ranks love in the same category of needs as thirst and hunger says a lot. In addition to unpacking the power of love, Molly also covers the power a loss of love has on your physical and mental health. So much of her explanation fills the voids we have in understanding why a bad break can make us feel crazy and do things out of character.

This is a Fan Fav episode. To have children or not to have children is a choice that you as an empowered woman gets to decide for herself. The problem is that it's hard to distinguish between where you stand on the topic apart from your family and social pressures. Dr. Shefali is the bestselling author of the book, The Conscious Parent, the book that Oprah herself sends to anyone she knows even considering being a parent. Dr. Shefali's no holds barred approach to parenting is the thing you need whether you're leaning towards having kids or trying to steer clear from the conversation for another several years. This is the episode where Dr. Shefali is debunking myths of motherhood and exposing unrealistic expectations of stepping into or away from your maternal instincts. Your bandwidth and capacity to become a mother, an entrepreneur, a career woman, or stay at home wife doesn't fall into a group decision, it's a decision for you alone first, and a conversation with your partner second. Dr. Shefali reveals what a powerful teacher parenting can be for us as individuals, but she also exposes how giving birth can be psychological death for women that's a huge impact and traumatic experience in anyone's relationship. If you're on the fence of having children or not wanting to have them, give yourself grace and time to make an accurate assessment of how you really feel about having a child. If your pressure to decide is coming from cultural beliefs, wanting to fit in with your social circle of friends all having children, or you think a child will bring you and your partner closer together, then stop everything and take heed to Dr. Shefali's fire advice.
