  • Hair Thinning & Perimenopause
    May 15 2026

    If you’ve ever experienced hair thinning or hair loss for any reason, you will want to listen to this episode. Dr. Caroline Day is back! She’s our hormone therapy expert and she’s diving into the topic of hair loss and thinning. First, here’s some reassurance: it’s completely normal in perimenopause. But why is it happening? Is there anything you can do to reverse it? And what actually works—because there’s a lot of marketing in this space that sometimes feels gimmicky?

  • Rant Therapy -Man Buns
    May 12 2026

    The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.

    Welcome to Rant Therapy, a podcast short powered by the hosts of the Happy Eating podcast, Brierley Horton and Carolyn Williams, where we periodically share our real-life venting sessions with each other—AKA what we’re “so over”.

  • Banana Water: Worth It or Not?
    May 7 2026

    Banana water has been touted as a natural source of hydration, an alternative to sports drinks, and packed with electrolytes. Well, as you can imagine, this new trendy product with its impressive claims and social media buzz really caught our attention. Are the claims legitimate or is this a gimmicky drink riding on the coattails of coconut water? In today’s episode we tell you whether we think banana water is worth it or not. And we do a live taste test.

  • Adrenal Fatigue
    Apr 30 2026

    Are you tired when you wake up in the morning? Is your sex drive low? Do you need that glass of wine at night to chill out? If the answer is yes to all of that and more, the internet may tell you you have adrenal fatigue. But if you go to your doctor, they’ll likely tell you that isn’t a real condition. So, which is it? That’s the topic of this episode. We unpack the science behind adrenal fatigue, talk through the various symptoms, unveil what’s actually going on in the body that’s spurring these symptoms, and share what works to get your body back on track.

  • Look Good, Feel Better? The Science of Dopamine Dressing
    Apr 23 2026

    Deion Sanders is known for saying, “if you look good, you feel good and if you feel good, you play good.” And while we’ve never been on the football field in pads, we’ve realized this concept rings true in our everyday lives. In fact, we’ve leaned on that mindset plenty of times when we needed a little extra boost to show up as our best selves. Turns out, there’s real science behind it. It’s called enclothed cognition—and it’s the topic of today’s episode. We break down how what you wear can influence your mood, confidence, productivity, and overall outlook, plus how to use it in real life to your advantage.
