The longer we treat menopause as something to survive quietly instead of understanding fully, the more women get left without real answers.Dr. Shepherd is an OB-GYN, and we use menopause as the entry point into a much bigger conversation — the myths still circulating about menopause and sexual health, why clinician expertise and actual hands-on experience matter more than a lot of people realize, and how insurance and the broader healthcare system quietly shape what choices women even know they have. We also get into AI and new technology in medicine — where it genuinely helps, and where it's moving faster than anyone can vet it. And we land on something I keep coming back to on this show: aging well is not a solo project. Community and connection are part of the medicine.Dr. Jessica Shepherd is a board-certified OB-GYN focused on women's health, menopause, and sexual wellness in midlife. Generation M - Dr. Jessica Shepherd's bookWhat We CoverMenopause as a gateway. Why menopause is so often the first time women start really engaging with their own health, and what that says about the gaps earlier in the system.The myths that won't die. Common misconceptions about menopause and sexual health that Dr. Shepherd still has to correct in the exam room, every week.Expertise actually matters. Why the clinician you choose, and how much hands-on experience they have, changes the quality of care you get, especially in a field this nuanced.The system shapes the choice. How insurance coverage and healthcare structures quietly limit what options get presented to women in the first place.AI in medicine — promise and risk. Where artificial intelligence and new technology are genuinely useful in healthcare, and where the pace of change is outrunning oversight.Community as medicine. Why connection and support are not a "nice to have" in aging well, they're part of the actual strategy.Thanks to our sponsor: Addyi, the little pink pill.

A year ago, my life was completely upended. When you go through something hard, people that care about you try to say helpful things, some of this can feel so cliché. Turns out though, certain phrases become an old adage because they are right on the money.  Whether you are going through something mildly challenging or like me: nervous system on fire, life impoloding, grasping to hold your life and family together, the words of wisdom I share in this episode while seeming trite, really will help you get through. From "you won't feel this way forever" to "don't judge until you've walked a mile in their shoes", I share how popular advice held up under fire.  For more info on how I can help you visit my site BetterByDrBrooke.   Resources mentioned in this episode: Dr. Brooke Show #456: 5 Meme-Worthy Concepts That Just Hit Harder in Midlife Dr. Brooke Show #438: Midlife is More than HRT, Part I Dr. Brooke Show #439: Midlife is More than HRT, Part II Grab the Midlife Is More Than HRT guide free right here if, like me, midlife didn't feel quite like you expected.

Age is just a number. We say it all the time. Do we actually believe it?This week I sit down with Dr. Arnold Gilberg, MD, PhD — a psychiatrist with over 60 years of clinical experience and author of The Myth of Aging. Sixty years. Let that sink in for a second. He has watched mental health care go from something people hid to something people post about. And he has spent just as long studying what actually keeps people vital as they get older, and it is not what most of us assume.We get into what a psychiatrist actually is (and how that's different from a psychologist or a therapist), why the shame around therapy has mostly disappeared since the 1960s but hasn't fully left medicine itself, and why he'd argue we're over-medicating a problem that often needs connection more than a prescription. Then we go somewhere I did not expect, his own path to becoming a rabbi, and what spirituality has taught him about the mind that medicine alone couldn't.If you've ever felt "stuck," or assumed decline was just the deal you signed up for by getting older — this one's for you.Dr. Arnold Gilberg, MD, PhD, is a psychiatrist with more than six decades of clinical experience and the author of The Myth of Aging. Over the course of his career he has treated patients through massive shifts in how our culture understands mental health — from the stigma of the mid-20th century to today's very different, more open landscape. He is also a rabbi, a path that grew out of his clinical work and shapes how he thinks about meaning, purpose, and healing. The Myth of Aging bookWhat We CoverPsychiatry vs. psychology vs. therapy. What a psychiatrist actually does, how that role differs from a psychologist or therapist, and why the lines have blurred (and shifted) as the field has evolved.From shame to normal. How therapy went from something you hid to something you casually mention at dinner — and why stigma still lingers inside the medical community itself, even as it's faded in the culture at large.The culture of medication. Dr. Gilbert doesn't hold back on this one — the over-reliance on medication, what gets missed when a prescription replaces psychotherapy, and why informed consent about side effects matters more than most patients realize.Body and mind are not separate systems. Why physical activity is one of the most underused tools in mental health care, and how movement changes the brain, not just the body.Becoming a rabbi. Dr. Gilbert's own journey into spirituality, and how faith and religion show up as legitimate tools for emotional and mental well-being — not as an alternative to psychiatry, but alongside it.Cultural shifts, real clinical impact. How broader acceptance of diverse sexualities and identities has changed what shows up in the therapy room and how mental health providers practice.Connection is the treatment. Why trust between patient and therapist predicts outcomes more than technique — and what that means for how we should be evaluating "good" therapy.The myth of aging, dismantled. Aging does not have to mean decline. Investment in physical, mental, and social health changes the trajectory — and it's never too late to start.Midlife crisis, reframed. What's actually happening during a midlife crisis, and why it can be the opening for real change instead of just a cliché to laugh off.Mindset changes your biology. The Harvard research on mindset and lifespan — and what it tells us about how much of "aging" is happening in our heads before it happens in our bodies.Getting unstuck. Practical ways to turn a feeling of stagnation into an actual growth opportunity.Community, movement, purpose. The three pillars Dr. Gilbert keeps coming back to for aging well — and why none of them are optional.Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs it.

 A popular, easy-to-get, inexpensive supplement might be life-changing - or causing more harm than good. In this episode, I'm talking about HCl (stomach acid). Many people are taking way more than needed, or taking it when downstream digestion issues (i.e. your gallbladder, infections like H. pylori) or even low estrogen might need to be dealt with first. And at home testing like take as many capsules as you can until you feel a warming sensation may be leading you astray.

Brad Fiedel wrote one of the most recognisable pieces of music in film history, and he did it on a drum machine, a sequencer and a keyboard chained together with a computer ribbon cable, before MIDI was really a thing. The famous lurch in the rhythm is him hitting a button by hand and deciding the wobble was better than the fix. Years later Henry Mancini rang up wanting to record it with a big band, and the man writing the lead sheet couldn't work out the time signature.There is a lot more to Brad than Terminator, and that's really what this conversation is about. He grew up inside his parents' school of the arts on Long Island, his dad a jazz musician, his mum a modern dancer who studied with Martha Graham. He spent years improvising live for dance classes, which turned out to be exactly the muscle a film composer needs, though nobody told him that at the time. He nearly signed to Columbia. He played keys for Hall and Oates in 1974 and jammed with the band that became the E Street Band. He was working with Arthur Miller and Vanessa Redgrave before James Cameron ever called.We get into temp tracks and why he never did his best work against one, when a scene is better off with no music at all, the direction Cameron gave him on the canal chase in T2, and the moment after the True Lies sessions when a small voice told him he was finished. These days his regular gig is writing musicals with first graders in Santa Barbara, and he's very clear that he gets as much out of it as they do.This podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.

Spelunky with less secrets and more upgrades. Randomized item behavior. Tasteful Pranking. Using earbuds as earplugs in a pinch. The short but wrong description. Timed Mashing Games. A building that exists continuously. Why would you pay someone else to do something that you can do yourself? A 70%-complete noise maker. Deliberately building your modular synthesizer to be incompatible with every modular standard so you're not tempted to buy any modules. Synthesizers as folk instruments, every one unique and owned by a weird uncle. SDL taking your sine wave and making it pretty. An online MIDI thing which is pretty annoying. Video: it has so much more data than audio. How to make your audio engine samples play at the right time. Electricity: it just happens. Hitting undo on the breadboard when you blow up some capacitors. Making a synthesizer by drawing a circuit with a graphite pencil. Being old enough to have once seen a PCB that was laid out by hand. Having something important in your clipboard and knowing you'd better put it somewhere soon before it's lost. Sending files to your phone over the local Wi-Fi. Parts of your body you doing trust. Prodding the clipboard until it reluctantly copies the text like a surely teenager. Emailing support and slowly realizing that support is actually the guy who makes the decisions. What life could be like if venture capital didn't exist. Putting a warning on the 4001st M&M. How to send an edible arrangement without knowing someone's address. Inventing something that already exists. Inventing a process and thinking "that's too simple to work" but later you find out it does and has a name. Getting sick of using a rhyming dictionary to write poems so you just cut and paste a list of rhyming words right into the poem. A poem that it feels wrong to read aloud. What is a line break but moving to a new place where the next word starts? A poem that is approved by the Comics Code Authority. How all the comic book letterers came to have the exact same handwriting. A word that starts with a through e and ends with song. Talking online vs. talking in person. Trying to quietly talk to your neighbor in discord voice chat. Why Discord doesn't allow you to place voice chats participants in Dolby 7.1 space. Tuning your proximity happening settings. Three people pairing off and having two conversations at once. The next talk show guest coming out and everybody moving one chair over. That time Andy Richter tried to have a side conversation with Norm MacDonald while Conan O'Brien was talking to the next guest. That thing where two people are hard to tell apart because their voices are similar to each other. Your e-commerce platform giving your image a random four digit number. Choosing guests based on whose voice compliments yours. Being on a weekly video game podcast and realizing you'd better play some goddamn video games this week or you won't have anything to talk about. Changing topics when there are three minutes left on the show. Trying to finish recording the show when your laptop is at 7% battery life. An incredible way to pull rank. Telling the airline employee that you work in aerospace and you deserve more leg room. Promising your Kickstarter backers to go to Denny's for lunch. Bluesky handles that are a palindrome of themselves.

Menopause doesn't just happen to a body, it happens to a relationship. In this episode, Traver Boehm joins Dr. Kelly Casperson to talk about what's actually going on hormonally during perimenopause and menopause, and what that means for the partners trying to understand it from the outside.Kelly breaks down the real difference between perimenopause and menopause (hint: most people are using these words wrong), what's happening biologically during the transition, and why the emotional and relational fallout is often just as real as the hot flashes. Then the conversation turns to men — what's shifting for them hormonally during this same midlife window, and how couples can actually talk to each other about all of it instead of quietly drifting apart.This one's for the women in it and the partners trying to show up for them.In this episode:Perimenopause vs. menopause, where one ends and the other beginsWhat hormonal changes are actually doing to mood, sleep, libido, and connectionThe emotional and relational ripple effects of menopause that no one prepares you forHormonal shifts in men during midlife, and why this isn't just a "her" conversationHow to actually talk to your partner about what's changingRebuilding pleasure and intimacy when everything else is in fluxReminder: none of this is individual medical advice, discuss your own plan with your own clinician.https://www.manuncivilized.com/https://www.instagram.com/traverboehmSubscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs it.

À Madagascar, en milieu urbain, c'est le plat du midi par excellence. Qu'il se déguste assis à la table d'un restaurant ou avalé debout dans la rue en quelques minutes, le Komposé – avec un K – est un incontournable des grandes villes de l'île. Accessible à presque toutes les bourses, ce mélange de salades accompagne le quotidien des citadins depuis près d'un siècle. Et, malgré ses déclinaisons pour suivre les goûts et les modes de consommation, il reste un plat emblématique de la gastronomie populaire malgache.Reportage à l'heure du déjeuner dans le quartier historique d'Analakely, à Antananarivo. « Ici ! Le Komposé spécial ! 5 000 francs ! Si vous voulez du Komposé, c'est ici ! Komposé au fromage, Komposé aux légumes. » Dans une ruelle bruyante et animée d'Analakely, un adolescent fait office de rabatteur. Montées sur des tréteaux, les mini-gargotes s'alignent et proposent toutes le même incontournable : le Komposé. Une base de macédoine, servie avec une salade de pâtes et une multitude d'accompagnements pour se démarquer de la concurrence. Derrière sa petite vitrine, Émile joint sa voix à celle de l'adolescent. « Approchez, monsieur ! hèle-t-il à un client. Aujourd'hui, j'ai Misao, salade de museau, macaroni, "patates mayo betterave" et tout ça ensemble, ça fait du Komposé. » À lire aussiMadagascar : Le Romazava d'Aïna « C'est le budget qui compte » Toky, 31 ans, avale à toute vitesse le contenu de son assiette. Prix du repas : 1 500 ariary, soit 30 centimes d'euro. Pour cet opérateur de call center, le principal atout du Komposé, c'est son rapport qualité-prix. « Je mange debout. Et ça va. J'ai l'habitude. Pour moi, le lieu importe peu. C'est le budget qui compte. Je choisis en fonction de ce que je vois dans les vitrines. Si le visuel me semble bon et que c'est plutôt propre, alors ça me va. » À une dizaine de mètres de la gargote d'Emile se trouve Sensunik. Une institution du Komposé. Depuis vingt ans, le restaurant revisite chaque jour son plat signature en proposant des variantes, pour tous les goûts. « Quels ingrédients souhaitez-vous, Madame ? », demande le serveur à la cliente. « Mexicain et œufs », répond Adolphine. Assise sur une banquette, tout de blanc vêtue et coiffée d'un chapeau en raphia, Adolphine savoure son Komposé mexicain. Cette commerçante du grand Sud-Est monte régulièrement à la capitale pour ses achats. Pour cette sexagénaire, l'arrêt chez Sensunik est devenu un rituel. « J'adore le Komposé. Ça remplace le repas de midi. Avec le Komposé, je peux ne pas manger de riz, c'est dire ! » À lire aussiPortraits de femmes: Bako, trois décennies aux fourneaux d'une gargote malgache devenue culte [1/2] Le Komposé nourrit aussi bien les employés de mairie que les vendeuses du marché Aussi loin que les anciens s'en souviennent, le Komposé fait partie du paysage culinaire malgache. Il a traversé les décennies sans jamais quitter les habitudes des citadins, quelle que soit leur classe sociale. « Ça fait longtemps que je ne vous ai pas vus… Où étiez-vous passés ? Toujours dans le coin », demande cette vendeuse à un habitué. Vous voulez du sakay (sauce piment) avec ? » Colette est vendeuse ambulante. Dans la caisse en plastique qu'elle porte sur sa tête, le Komposé préparé à l'aube. Elle sillonne les trottoirs et s'arrête dès qu'on la hèle. Ici, des employés de mairie. « Nous, on a un très petit salaire. C'est le seul plat qu'on puisse se permettre. Je travaille à la commune. C'est rapide à trouver et rapide à manger. C'est notre repas de midi ; le prochain, ça sera le repas du soir à la maison. » Là, des vendeuses du marché. « Coucou toi, tu pars ou tu as le temps pour un Komposé ? », demande une vendeuse de collants. Je vais te prendre un pain garni Komposé ! Merci, commande-t-elle auprès de Colette. Moi, il faut que je puisse manger tout en vendant. J'achète tous les jours mon repas à Colette. J'aime bien parce qu'elle fait un mélange de plusieurs légumes. Franchement, le Komposé c'est parfait, pour un repas complet, ou juste un petit goûter. » Des trottoirs d'Analakely aux restaurants plus branchés de la capitale, le Komposé n'a jamais cessé de se réinventer. Longtemps considéré comme un simple casse-croûte populaire, il s'adapte aujourd'hui aux nouvelles tendances et aux nouveaux goûts. Une recette qui change, mais une place dans le quotidien des Malgaches qui, elle, reste intacte.

Il y a un sandwich populaire par excellence que l'on consomme aux quatre coins du Maroc. Dans un pain rond, on glisse deux sardines ouvertes, farcies et collées l'une contre l'autre, c'est ce qu'on appelle les sardines « chrikat ». Elles incarnent tout un pan de l'histoire de la street food marocaine, aujourd'hui menacé. De notre correspondant à Casablanca, Il plonge les sardines dans l'huile bouillante. Le son creuse encore un peu plus les estomacs des clients alignés devant le kiosque ambulant de Hicham. « Généralement, les gens, avec les sardines, ils mettent de la coriandre, de la harissa, du citron, du paprika, de l'ail. Le chrikat, c'est typiquement marocain, "made in Morocco" ! Les clients commencent à venir dès le matin. Des fois, j'ai même pas encore commencé qu'ils font déjà la queue. Ils viennent à toute heure de la journée, certains les prennent au petit-déjeuner, d'autres pour le déjeuner, pour le goûter », explique-t-il. Hicham prépare ses sandwichs chrikat dans le quartier commerçant et très animé de Derb Omar. « Il y a des clients qui sortent du travail affamés. Ils viennent me voir pour vider leur sac. Moi, mon travail, c'est de vendre de la nourriture, mais je suis aussi un peu leur psychiatre. J'ai des clients très anciens, de plus de 10 ans. Il y a même une femme qui venait chez moi quand elle était enceinte ; maintenant, son fils est collégien et lui aussi, il vient ici », raconte-t-il. Ahmed se régale. Il est coursier et a très peu de temps pour manger. D'ailleurs, il répond aux questions tout en mâchant ses sardines chrikat. « C'est rapide et ça rappelle les plats de la maison. À chaque fois que le travail me conduit ici, je dois absolument venir chez Hicham. On est habitué à son sandwich, il se mange sans faim », clame-t-il. Il lui a fallu cinq minutes, top chrono, pour engloutir ses sardines, poisson qui occupe une place à part dans le panthéon gastronomique marocain. Hicham explique que « les Marocains entretiennent une relation forte avec les sardines. On a grandi avec, c'est notre culture, c'est notre nourriture, c'est un repas populaire ». Pourtant, quelques rues plus loin, Bouchra vend aussi des sandwichs, mais ici, pas de sardines. « Je les ai remplacées par les anchois. Ça me fait de la peine de ne pas faire les chrikats, parce que c'est ce que les gens préfèrent. Le chrikat, c'est quelque chose ! Ça leur manque. Il y en a moins maintenant parce que c'est de plus en plus cher. Ils ont augmenté les prix des sardines, on ne peut plus les acheter, le kilo coûte entre deux et trois euros, ce n'est pas possible », se désole-t-elle. La réduction du stock de sardines au large du Maroc, couplée à la hausse des prix imposée par les intermédiaires, explique pourquoi le sandwich chrikat se fait plus discret dans les rues marocaines ces derniers temps.

Nous continuons ce matin notre série de reportages sur les petits plats stars de la pause déjeuner... Direction la Côte d'Ivoire, où le champion incontesté de la catégorie est le garba – l'attiéké au « faux-thon », des restes de thon récupérés au port d'Abidjan. Très populaire, le garba est quasiment devenu un plat national grâce à un prix imbattable, environ 1 000 francs CFA (environ 1,50 euros) pour un repas. De notre correspondant à Abidjan, À Abidjan, le garbadrome de Cocody, tenu par Issa, ne désemplit pas chaque midi. Situé entre un lycée réputé et une université privée, ce petit restaurant de Côte d'Ivoire attire des dizaines de clients quotidiennement. Le patron, débordé, prépare des sachets à emporter composés de thon frit, de semoule de manioc – l'attiéké – et d'un condiment à base d'oignons, de tomates et de piment. Pour ce client nigérien, la fraîcheur des produits fait toute la différence. « Il y en a beaucoup qui disent que le garba d'ici est bon, parce que l'attiéké, c'est pas la même chose que chez les autres. Le poisson, on va le chercher au port de pêche. Chaque jour, on va le chercher là-bas », explique-t-il. Assises sur un banc devant une marmite d'huile frémissante, Emmanuelle et Alice, deux archivistes, attendent leur garba chaud. Elles sélectionnent avec soin leurs morceaux de thon. « C'est très important d'avoir un gros bout, pour bien manger, à cause de la taille du plat d'attiéké. Et c'est bon pour la popoche, il faut en avoir pour son argent », soulignent-elles. Le garba, un plat économique et nourrissant, doit son nom à Dicoh Garba, ancien ministre ivoirien de la production animale. Dans les années 1970, ce dernier a autorisé la redistribution des restes de thon récupérés au port d'Abidjan, auparavant destinés à la poubelle. Ces déchets sont ainsi devenus la base d'un véritable système antigaspi. Aujourd'hui, les mareyeurs rachètent ce « faux-poisson » pour environ 600 francs CFA le kilo (environ 0,90 euros), soit 30% moins cher que le thon normal. Neka, étudiant en droit, fréquente ce garbadrome quotidiennement, attiré par ses prix imbattables, mais pas seulement. « Il y a l'accessibilité au niveau du prix, mais il y a aussi le fait que tu es satisfait au niveau du ventre quand tu as fini de manger. Au niveau du goût, c'est très bon, ça se mélange avec plein de trucs, tu peux mettre du cube Maggi pour l'assaisonnement... C'est parfait, en fait ! Et c'est aussi un moment de convivialité. C'est ça, le truc », confie-t-il. En 2020, Abidjan comptait au moins 2 000 garbadromes similaires à celui d'Issa, certains servant jusqu'à 500 clients par jour.

En République démocratique du Congo, les malewa sont des petits restaurants de rue, prisés des Kinois pour la pause déjeuner. On y mange des plats locaux, populaires et surtout bon marché. De notre correspondante à Kinshasa, Bienvenue chez maman Mireille, la gérante d'un malewa, ces petits restaurants à ciel ouvert qui s'installent chaque midi sur les trottoirs de Kinshasa, la capitale de la RDC. Sur une table en bois brinquebalante sont disposées plusieurs casseroles, qui contiennent les plats du jour. « Pour le repas, nous avons aujourd'hui du porc, du gombo, de la courge, du poisson, des haricots et du poulet », explique-t-elle. Cela fait six ans que Mireille gère son malewa. Tous les matins, elle part au marché acheter ses produits et les cuisine directement sur place, avec du simple charbon de bois. « J'ai appris à cuisiner avec ma tante. Je partais avec elle à son malewa et je l'aidais à cuisiner. Je ne gagne pas beaucoup d'argent, mais au moins, j'ai un petit travail, sinon je n'ai rien. Je suis très fière quand les clients disent que c'est bon chez moi. C'est le bouche-à-oreille qui amène les clients », confie-t-elle. À lire aussiLes délices du continent [1/10]: en RDC, le poulet mayo, plat emblématique de Kinshasa Devant elle, les clients font la queue et, chacun leur tour, soulèvent les couvercles des casseroles pour faire leurs choix. Chaque plat a son prix pour s'adapter aux budgets les plus serrés. Pour Alphonse, chauffeur de bus, aller au malewa lui permet de manger un repas complet à moindre coût. « Par manque de moyens, j'ai mangé des boules de foufou et les feuilles de manioc et pour pas cher, avec 5 000 francs CFA [1,90 euros, NDLR]. J'ai bien mangé, c'est bien pour le ventre », témoigne-t-il. À ses côtés, Ange, une fonctionnaire qui travaille dans le quartier, est une habituée des lieux. « Elle prépare vraiment très bien. Elle met des épices comme on prépare à la maison à Kinshasa », assure-t-elle. Dans cette capitale tentaculaire, rares sont ceux qui ont le temps de rentrer chez eux pour le déjeuner. Le malewa est donc une solution pratique pour Christopher. « J'habite loin du centre-ville, et je quitte la maison très tôt le matin sans manger. À midi, j'ai faim, je mange quelque chose chez Mireille, c'est juste à côté du travail et ça me permet d'avoir de l'énergie pour le reste de la journée », explique-t-il. À 16 heures, les casseroles de Mireille sont généralement vides. Elle les range sous sa petite table en bois, prêtes à être utiliser. Chaque jour, Mireille cuisine pour une centaine de clients.

We're closing out the season with something different: a multidisciplinary breakdown of episode six of Heated Rivalry. Not a recap. Not a fan theory session. A real conversation about what the show gets right — and what it gets wrong — about male performance anxiety, queer identity, female arousal physiology, and the stories we tell ourselves about our own bodies.To be clear: this isn't about hockey. It's about what happens when good storytelling accidentally becomes a teaching moment for sexual health.What We CoverPerformance anxiety isn't in your head — it's in your nerves, arteries, and muscles. Erectile function is vascular and neurological before it's psychological. Medication, alcohol, dehydration, stress — all of it shows up in the body before it shows up in the bedroom. We break down why "just relax" is the least useful advice you can give a man who's struggling, and what's actually happening physiologically when performance doesn't match desire.Shane's coming out arc, and why identity evolution isn't linear. The show doesn't hand Shane a clean, tidy arc — and that's the point. We talk about how culture, family history, and internalized norms shape the timeline of coming out, and why real identity work rarely looks like the movie version.Communication is the actual plot device. Underneath the hockey, the drama, the trauma — the show works because the characters eventually say the thing. We talk about why authentic communication is the real special effect in any story about intimacy, on screen or off.Behind the scenes: setting, production choices, small details you'd miss on a first watch — and yes, a detour into tentacle erotica as a case study in how sexual expression keeps evolving in media, and why that's worth understanding rather than dismissing.Key TakeawaysErectile response is biological first, emotional second — treat it that way.Female arousal physiology doesn't disappear at menopause; it changes, and imaging confirms it.Coming out stories are shaped by context, not just courage.Good storytelling about sex requires vulnerability, not perfection.Expanding your sexual literacy — even through fiction — is part of the work.You are not broken. Your body isn't broken. And apparently, neither is prestige TV's ability to sneak real sex ed into a hockey drama.Season two, see you soon.— KellySubscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs it.

These medications have been incredibly successful at helping women lose weight, quiet food noise, and feel in control of their appetite. They have also had some other benefits such as lowering inflamamtion, improving joint pain, and clearing brain fog. There is also some evidence they decrease risks of certain cancers. With all of these benefits, some women may choose to stay on them long term while others, for a variety of reasons, want to transition off of them in time without losing all of their progress. In this episode, I cover what we need to test before, during, and after using GLP-1s to get optimal results that last.  For more info on how I can help you visit my site BetterByDrBrooke.   Resources mentioned in this episode: Dr. Brooke Show #454: Why Bone Health Is A Marker of HEALTH Not Just Disease   Grab the Midlife Is More Than HRT guide free right here if, like me, midlife didn't feel quite like you expected.

Hear about luxury barge cruising in France as Chris Christensen describes a week aboard the Renaissance, a European Waterways hotel barge traveling through Western Burgundy and the Upper Loire. Chris and his wife previously cruised with European Waterways on the Canal du Midi. For this journey, they returned to France to explore the Briare Canal, one of the country's oldest canals, aboard a vessel carrying just eight passengers and five crew members. The result was an unusually intimate trip combining French cuisine, historic towns, private châteaux, Sancerre vineyards, canal locks, and long, leisurely afternoons on the water. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/cruising-the-briare-canal/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Send Steve a Text MessageThirty songs for Saturday. A totally different set for Monday. No rehearsals. If that sounds familiar, you already know the real enemy isn't your technique, it's the scramble to keep everything in your head while you switch styles and expectations from gig to gig. We talk through the exact approach we use to stay organized, reduce panic, and get songs back under our fingers fast when we're playing with multiple bands or rotating church sets. We start with a simple habit that pays off immediately: building dedicated Spotify playlists for each musical situation so we can learn faster through focused listening. We explain what to listen for beyond the guitar part, how to mentally map the song form, and how to flag the moments that usually cause train wrecks on stage like stops, endings, dynamic shifts, and solo sections. If you're working on cover songs and want better guitar memorization, this step alone can make practice feel far more efficient. Then we get practical about cheat sheets. Rather than drowning in full tabs, we show how to make compact charts that capture only what you need: the tricky riff, the odd chord, the key center, the tone change, or the one bar that always derails you. We also share why iPad chart organization (using apps like forScore) and a MIDI page-turn pedal can keep you confident while still letting you watch the band and react to live cues. Finally, we cover a “future you will thank you” move: recording quick videos of your own playthroughs and saving them to Google Drive so you can instantly relearn parts months later. If you want a cleaner gig prep workflow, less stress, and more musical freedom on stage, listen now, then subscribe, share the episode with a gigging friend, and leave a review with your go-to method for remembering songs.Thanks for being here!! I will continue to do my best to bring you the best, most informative guitar discussions to help you along your guitar journey!

Episode 4: Rose and Rosé — The Maturation of MenHeated Rivalry Series | You Are Not BrokenWe're four episodes deep into "Heated Rivalry," and this is the one where the boys finally have to grow up.Episode 4 is a time jump — years compressed into a montage — and it's doing double duty. It's showing us Shane and Ilyia maturing into men who can actually be in a relationship, not just have sex in one. And it's showing us Rose figuring out who she is alongside them. Growth isn't linear for any of these characters, and honestly, that's the whole point.This episode has jokes, it has ginger ale, it has a Jean Paul Gaultier shirt doing more emotional labor than most people's therapists. And underneath all of it, we're talking about what it actually looks like when men — queer or straight — mature into partners instead of performers.In this episode, we cover:
