Time blindness isn't laziness or rudeness. It's real, and Chalene Johnson has the brain scan to prove it. She's been chronically late, always has been a struggle, and it turns out there's actual science behind it (ADHD researcher Dr. Russell Barkley calls it temporal myopia). Chalene breaks down why some brains just can't estimate time, including her own scan at the Amen Clinic next to her husband Bret's, and why she missed her flight to Dallas last week. Plus, Patrick Clancy is heading to 60 Minutes this Sunday with his new wife, Rachel, and Chalene gets into why a case like this (or the plastic surgeon on trial in California) can drag on for years. Topics discussed: time blindness, ADHD, temporal myopia, Dr. Russell Barkley, delay aversion, Edmund Sonuga-Barke, Amen Clinic, Bret Johnson, hyperfocus, cognitive dissonance, Lindsay Clancy, Patrick Clancy, Rachel, 60 Minutes, Penelope.   Join Chalene on Patreon her private podcast to listen to the histericous episode "We Have A Mole, Affair Confessions And The Naked Sweat Shop" Go directly to the episode

Chalene Johnson breaks down why marriages that looked solid for decades are suddenly ending.

Then there's the gray affair.

Perez Hilton had a public breakdown on TikTok this week, and people are asking what actually happened. Chalene Johnson breaks it down with trigger warnings, including how it connects to his defamation fight with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds and his brush with death from sepsis this past March. Chalene also digs into why qualified applicants, including former Elle editor Stacy Deguide, who deleted 15 years off her resume just to get a callback, are vanishing into what recruiters call an AI hiring black hole. A Stanford study found that roughly one in five companies now let algorithms reject candidates before a human ever sees a resume, and Chalene walks through how hiring software like Workday's may be filtering out midlife workers, new grads, and everyone in between. Rounding out the episode is this week's crackdown on the black market peptide trade. An Indiana company called Paradigm Peptides was sentenced after selling to 54,000 customers in 80 countries, a Michigan dealer got 20 years for relabeling semaglutide as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Retatrutide, and a licensed doctor running a Utah clinic called True Health was caught repackaging BPC-157, TB-500, and other peptides under fake labels for more than 200 patients. Topics discussed: Perez Hilton, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Justin Baldoni, TikTok, Ariana Grande, Stacy Deguide, Elle, Stanford University, Workday, Paradigm Peptides, True Health, Justin Watkins, Ozempic, Wegovy, semaglutide, Retatrutide, BPC-157, TB-500, GLP-1, sepsis, ageism.

Chalene Johnson tackles the question most people are afraid to ask: what if the common denominator in every failed relationship is you? She walks through seven signs that you might be the one creating the pattern, from blaming exes instead of owning your part, to childhood attachment wounds resurfacing in adult relationships, to being quick to judge and slow to say sorry. Chalene explains why arrogance can quietly protect you from ever seeing your own role in the breakup or blowup, and why the healthiest relationship you can build is the one with yourself. Topics discussed: toxic relationship patterns, attachment style, arrogance in relationships, empathy, self-sabotage, therapy, magnesium and brain function   Midi Health hormone and menopause care

Why do less than a third of independent agents actually use a CRM, and what is that gap costing them? Jason Cass sits down with Mariah Gates, Founder of Accelerated Automation, to unpack agency operations, the shifting role of AMS platforms, and what it really takes to prepare an agency for AI. Key Topics: Why less than 27% of agents actually use a CRM, per a Vertafore study Growth through acquisition creates operational struggles even for large agencies Fixed owner pay leads to healthier cash flow and tech decisions The "AMS Demotion": AMS shifting from operating system to system of record AMS platforms need open APIs and two way sync to stay relevant Point solutions expose gaps that AMS systems fail to solve Why integration philosophy separates open platforms from closed ones like EZLynx Software companies must listen closer to users to avoid disconnected decisions AI adoption requires documented processes before layering on new tools Why agentic AI replaces unlicensed work while virtual employees remain essential Reach out to: Mariah Gates Jason Cass Visit Website: Accelerated Automation Agency Intelligence Produced by PodSquad.fm

How can you sell more insurance by being "authentic" with your prospects? That's one of the topics Charles Specht addresses in this interview with Marques Ogden. You have to be more Micro-Niched, seen as the expert, and don't have commission breath. In this episode, Charles and Marques will explain how to merge Authenticity & Permission in order to create more Commission. Key Topics: Marques Ogden's fall from NFL and construction success to rock bottom Losing his business, home, and cars after letting ego take over The "be your own CEO" mindset that sparked his comeback Building a coaching career and top ranked podcast from nothing Authenticity means caring about clients, not chasing a quick sale The "give, give, give, then ask" approach to earning trust Timing offers so they truly benefit the client, not just you Why agents lose trust by disappearing after the sale closes Spotting "desperation breath" and protecting genuine relationships Micro-niching builds trust and grows an agent's book of business Reach out to  Marques Ogden Charles Specht Visit: Get Authentic with Marques Ogden Marques Ogden Permission Network Chief Sales Officer Permission Producer School Produced by PodSquad.fm

Testosterone, not GLP-1s, is what finally let Chalene Johnson lose body fat and build real muscle after 40, and she's laying out exactly how in this episode. Chalene explains why her total testosterone always looked normal on paper while she still felt exhausted and stuck in the gym, until a clinician finally tested her free testosterone and SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) and found the real problem. In her words, total testosterone is the money in the bank, free testosterone is the cash in your pocket, and SHBG is the bank teller deciding how much you actually get to spend. She also gets into why she skipped the growth peptides everyone's talking about (tesamorelin, ipamorelin, CJC-1295) and switched from monthly testosterone injections to a daily cream instead. She talks candidly about the mold exposure that wrecked her hormones, caregiving through her father-in-law's Alzheimer's, and why she stopped weighing herself and started tracking body fat with an InBody scale instead. Topics discussed: testosterone for women, free testosterone, total testosterone, SHBG, hormone replacement therapy, perimenopause, GLP-1, tesamorelin, ipamorelin, CJC-1295, HGH, IGF-1, progressive overload, body composition, InBody scale, DEXA scan, mold toxicity, testosterone cream Midi Health testosterone for women: https://chalene.com/test Midi Health hormone and menopause care: https://chalene.com/midi   Go Beyond The Podcast Join Chalene on her private podcast

Chalene Johnson breaks down the Instagram AI feature that had the internet in a panic last week, why deepfake scammers are now stealing real videos and subtly altering someone's voice and appearance to make fake endorsements look real, and what to watch for so you don't get fooled. She also shares a new survey showing that a large percentage of perimenopausal and menopausal women have no idea what stage of reproduction they're in, and explains why she's been getting stronger and leaner using a hormone marker called sex hormone binding globulin, or SHBG, something most doctors won't test unless you specifically request it. She recommends Midi Health for anyone who wants a full hormone panel done right. Chalene gives a quick update on the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal saga, including the ongoing dispute over $8 million in legal fees, then moves into the difference between Botox, Juvederm, and Sculptra, her own experience with Sculptra after her facelift, and a new lawsuit against Juvederm maker AbbVie. She closes with a passionate defense of Madonna following her World Cup halftime performance, walking through Madonna's decades of reinvention, her physical training history, and why Chalene believes the ageism criticism aimed at her is completely out of line.

Chalene Johnson breaks down retatrutide, the peptide everyone is calling a GLP-3 and an Ozempic killer, cutting through the hype to get to what the science actually says. Eli Lilly's own clinical trials show weight loss results that beat anything semaglutide or tirzepatide has produced, but retatrutide is not FDA approved and is not legally available at any US pharmacy, which means almost nobody buying it online is actually getting the real thing. Chalene explains what retatrutide actually is (a triple agonist that adds glucagon receptor activity to the GLP-1 and GIP receptors already targeted by Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound), walks through what the phase three trial data really shows versus how it is being exaggerated online, and shares why an independent lab test of vials sold through TikTok, med spas, and Reddit found most contained only 7 to 14 percent of anything resembling the real molecule. She also unpacks the muscle preservation claims that are not backed by human data, the anhedonia and placebo effect reports circulating online, why bariatric surgery comparisons need context, and how to find a reputable source like Midi Health for anyone considering a GLP-1 through legitimate medical channels. Topics discussed: retatrutide, Ozempic, semaglutide, Wegovy, tirzepatide, Mounjaro, Zepbound, GLP-1, GLP-3, Eli Lilly, bariatric surgery, Midi Health, anhedonia, muscle wasting, peptides, BPC 157 Go Beyond The Podcast Join Chalene on her private podcast

What happens when life suddenly gets quieter? Glennon, Abby, and Amanda check in on the big transitions happening in their own lives—from the emotions of becoming empty nesters to the unexpected opportunities that come with a brand new season. Plus, they're answering Pod Squad questions you won't want to miss—including one unforgettable call from Sexy Sue that sparks a hilarious and thoughtful conversation about dating, relationships, and when (and if) we need to DTR.  We talk about what it means to let go of old roles, embrace uncertainty, and ask the question many of us are facing: Who do I get to become next? - The grief—and unexpected freedom—of becoming an empty nester. - Why midlife can be the perfect time to reinvent yourself, your friendships, and your relationships. - Abby's advice for navigating competition in a blended family without losing sight of what matters most. - A challenge to stop obeying unfair rules in advance—and the power of everyday acts of resistance.

Chalene has a Travis Kelce wedding update, a personal Travis Kelce story she's mildly embarrassed about, and a correction from Wednesday's episode before getting into a lot. The Siders case in Ohio just got a lot more complicated. Gary Sr. collapsed on his way to court, got released on a recognizance bond, and his attorneys filed two major legal motions on the same day. Chalene walks through what that could mean and why people are raising eyebrows at the timing. Then there's the Turpin family, another case of children isolated for years inside what looked, from the outside, like a completely normal home. Chalene talks about why that one is actually the scarier story, and what it says about how these things stay hidden for so long. Two singers are in the news this week. Adele is stepping away from performing, and she has a reason that is hard to argue with. And Ariana Grande has postponed tour dates, and Chalene does not think it is for the reason everyone assumes. Then there is a harder conversation about the platforms giving massive audiences to people who are clearly in crisis, what responsibility looks like there, and what Chalene knows from her own experience about how long it can take to even recognize there is a problem. She is recording from Cannes, France, and yes, you will hear the mopeds. Go Beyond The Podcast Join Chalene on her private podcast

Sixteen children. One room. Twelve feet by twelve feet. The Ohio attorney general stood at a podium this week and said out loud that if investigators had waited one more day, some of them might not have made it. Chalene is breaking this one down carefully, because there's a part of this story that almost nobody is talking about, and it changes everything. Then there's a story that's going to make you think twice before booking any cosmetic procedure. Three patients. One doctor. All within a few months of each other. That doctor is still practicing today, and there's a reason that's completely legal. This one is important. Share it with someone you love. And because the world never stops delivering, two influencers broke into the Empire State Building on Monday night, climbed to the top of the antenna at 1,450 feet, got engaged, and were in handcuffs by morning. Their one comment to reporters outside court is genuinely unbelievable. Go Beyond The Podcast Join Chalene on her private podcast 

Nobody warned women that their vaginal health could affect everything from their immune system to their marriage. Dr. Anna Cabeca, triple board certified OBGYN and bestselling author known as The Girlfriend Doctor, sits down with Chalene Johnson to talk about the menopausal symptoms women are quietly suffering through and the simple, affordable solutions most doctors aren't mentioning. What's actually happening to the body after 40, why desire disappears before women even understand why, and the three letter term every woman needs to bring to her next doctor's appointment. Dr. Anna also breaks down what women who've had hysterectomies aren't being told about progesterone, the over the counter DHEA cream that runs about a dollar a day, and why a call to your local compounding pharmacist might be the most underrated first step nobody is talking about.

Everyone is talking about Netflix's Maternal Instinct, but the question Chalene couldn't stop thinking about wasn't the murder. It was how someone becomes so invested in a fantasy that reality itself becomes the enemy. The Taylor Parker case is one of the most disturbing true crime stories in recent memory, but the crime is only part of the story. Long before Reagan Hancock was murdered, there were reports of fake pregnancies, fabricated medical records, invented family drama, fake inheritances, suspicious financial claims, and years of deception that left friends, family, and investigators questioning what was real. In this episode, Chalene breaks down the Taylor Parker and Reagan Hancock case from the beginning, including details, testimony, timelines, and evidence that received little attention in Netflix's Maternal Instinct. You'll hear about the fake pregnancy, the relationship with Wade Griffin, the financial schemes, the Pecan Point property deal, the growing suspicions from family members, and the events that ultimately led to Taylor Parker's conviction for capital murder. But the question at the center of this story isn't simply what happened. It's how a person can create an entirely different reality, convince others to believe it, and continue protecting that fantasy even as everything around them begins to collapse. And that may be the most unsettling part of this case. Topics discussed: Taylor Parker, Reagan Hancock, Maternal Instinct, Netflix documentary, fake pregnancy case, Wade Griffin, Braxlin Hancock, true crime, criminal psychology, pathological lying, deception, capital murder trial, forensic psychology.

Chalene Johnson recorded this one on the road, starting in New York and wrapping up in Paros, Greece, and it might be one of the most information-packed episodes she's done all year. There's a comparison being made right now that Chalene can't stop thinking about. Two women, both 32, both at the height of their careers. One of them died. The parallels today are ones she felt compelled to address out loud, even without easy answers. Then a study just dropped from Northwestern Medicine that reframes the entire perimenopause and brain fog conversation, and it has nothing to do with hot flashes. If you've ever walked into a room and forgotten why you're there, this research explains something your doctor probably never mentioned. Plus, brand new data from Fitbits and Apple Health devices reveals what's actually happening to people on GLP-1 medications that nobody is talking about yet. And a Stanford study just identified a compound that could change the muscle loss conversation entirely. Chalene also gives you a heads up on a deeply disturbing documentary trending on Netflix right now and why she wants you to watch it before Friday.
