EP 238: Let's Talk Hormones, Anxiety, and the Messy State of Healthcare
Jess Wallace - adventure host, travel lover, online business manager, teacher turned entrepreneur and promoter of living a big, authentic + full life is back on the pod! She specializes in helping female entrepreneurs thrive in their businesses.
Jess and Danielle host all women adventure trips to create a space for women to connect, see the world together, make lifelong friends, and unlock core memories. We love getting women outside, connecting, adventuring, betting on themselves, taking up space, doing it scared, building confidence, living big + chasing magic.
In this episode, we chat about:
Why people are being pushed toward "dialysis" without true kidney failure (and what that says about modern medicine)
Oprah, the "obesity gene" narrative, and why oversimplified genetics are doing real harm
How GLP-1 medications can worsen or mask disordered eating behaviors
Why GLP-1s don't fix metabolic dysfunction, they just mute the symptoms
The number one, actually useful recommendation for anxiety (hint: it's not another supplement)
Why relying on insurance-driven healthcare keeps people stuck and under-treated
What most people are missing when they say "I've tried everything" for metabolic health
Real talk on Jess's hormone journey, labs, symptoms, etc
How metabolism, hormones, mental health, and nutrition are deeply interconnected
A brief but necessary detour into the Helen Keller conspiracy discourse (because the internet is wild)
