Another Bloody Podcast

We're bringing back a fan favorite — Lily Zargami, editor and co-founder of Jennie, whose first appearance on Another Bloody Podcast (our most-downloaded episode ever) chronicled a brutal reaction to injectable Mounjaro. Since then, the GLP-1 landscape has changed fast: an oral Wegovy pill hit the market with record-breaking uptake, Eli Lilly's own oral option is racing toward approval, and both drugs are being studied for benefits that go well beyond weight loss — heart failure, artery disease, liver disease, and more.
Lily joins us to talk about what's different this time around on the oral version, how she's learned to manage reflux and eat more intentionally, and the complicated, often unspoken feelings that come with going back on a drug after it once landed you in urgent care. We dig into disordered-eating red flags, the real cost differences between injectables and pills, the "Wild West" of compounded versions, and why neither of us feels guilty anymore about needing long-term medication — for this or anything else.
Content note: this episode includes candid discussion of disordered eating patterns, body image, and weight — listener discretion advised.

Menopausal rage doesn't look like garden-variety irritability — it feels like a ticking time bomb, and almost no one is talking about it. This week, Heather and Lisa sit down with Dr. Sarah Berg, a board-certified OB-GYN, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, and founder of Selfority, a platform offering menopause education courses and workplace training, to unpack the symptom she first wrote about for TIME.
 
Dr. Berg explains why rage gets missed in the exam room, why it's costing women their careers at the exact moment they're hitting their stride, and why the medical system's failure to identify less common menopause symptoms carries a steep financial and emotional toll for women. She also digs into the layer that didn't get enough attention in her original article: how bias shapes the way women of color's anger is perceived and treated differently in the workplace. It's a candid, validating conversation for anyone who's ever lost it on a family member, friend or colleague and then spent days wondering what was wrong with them.

Valerie P. Foushee, 11 June 2026, www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/9273. 
 

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President Donald Trump marked National Immunology Month by cutting the CDC's recommended childhood vaccine list from 18 diseases to 11, sorting remaining shots into risk-based tiers. State mandates and insurance coverage will not immediately be affected, but the policy shift may embolden a growing number of parents to question their doctors and refuse vaccinations for their children, further eroding herd immunity.
As he signed the executive order last week, President Trump mentioned a link between vacccines and autism, a theory based on a 1998 study that has been soundly debunked. We decided to take a look back at the discrediterd tudy that got the lethal ball rolling and its author, Andrew Wakefield, who has since been stripped of his medical lisence. If you haven't heard about it before, you won't believe just how bad the study was. Based on just 12 children, using falsified data, and motivated by undisclosed financial conflicts of interest, it would be comical if it had not claimed the lives of so many unvaccinated children since its publication (it was later retracted). We also share personal stories of family members affected by preventable diseases like polio and Lisa talks about her infant bout of rubella, anecdotes that underscore how vaccines have dramatically reduced childhood mortality and disability.
We hope you'll honor National Immunology Month by consulting vaccination recommendations from the American Medical Association and American Academy of Pediatrics, and at least for now, ignoring the CDC.

If you've ever wondered whether you're imagining a shift in how you're treated at work in midlife, we're here to hand you the receipts. In this episode, we dig into why women vanish from the workforce right as they hit their stride. From the "broken rung" that stalls women when they aim for that very first promotion, to the burnout crushing senior women and blocking them from entering the C-suite, the data is eye-opening, and kinda depressing. And to cap it all off, here comes the menopause penalty, draining $150 billion in lost productivity worldwide and ending many women's careers for good — years before we qualify to access our retirement benefits. We're not happy about it, but we do have some data that should change employers minds.

A little over a year ago, Rhode Island became the first state in the country to legally protect menopausal workers, amending its Fair Employment Practices Act to place menopause and perimenopause alongside pregnancy and childbirth as protected categories. In this episode, Heather and Lisa talk with the two lawmakers behind that shift: State Senator Lori Urso and State Representative Karen Alzate. Urso opens up about the breaking point that inspired the bill — heart palpitations, panic attacks, and brain fog so severe she nearly resigned from a job she loved before finding a doctor who took her seriously. Alzate shares what it took to get an all-male committee to sign on, and the moment a colleague worried the bill would make women look "weak." They walk through what the law actually requires, from flexible scheduling to temperature control, why they built it as an amendment rather than a standalone bill, and why more than a dozen states have since reached out for their playbook.This is a conversation about what happens when one lawmaker who's lived through it, and another who's smart enough to listen, decide silence isn't good enough anymore — and why the rest of the country (and the Bravophere ) is paying attention.

Hormone replacement therapy is having a moment in the press and on social media. Often all we hear about are the success stories of women whose hot flashes and night sweats have been cured by HRT. But what about those women who have been told that they aren't candidates for hormone replacement?
This week, Heather and Lisa sit down with Jennifer Nathanson, nurse practitioner at Flourish Marin, to talk about hormone replacement therapy: what it actually is, who's a good candidate, and the lesser-known symptoms of perimenopause that rarely make it into the doctor's office conversation.
Lisa, a two-time cancer survivor, asks the question so many women in her position are told they can't ask: is there any safe path to hormone support after a breast or endometrial cancer diagnosis? Jennifer walks through the current (and shifting) research, why bone health becomes the priority when HRT isn't an option, and why vaginal estrogen is considered safe for nearly everyone regardless of cancer history. They also dig into the long shadow of the 2002 Women's Health Initiative study, the difference between bioidentical and synthetic hormones, and why finding a provider who actually listens might be the most important part of the whole equation.

Show Description
Turns out gray hair is just the opening act. Heather and Lisa dig into why hair thins, dries out, changes texture, and slows its growth cycle with age — and where menopause, HRT, GLP-1s, and even undiagnosed illness fit into the picture, plus what hair products dermotologists say are worth spending your money on. They discuss when hair loss is just aging, and when it's time to call the doctor, their bad perm experiences, and that time Heather was convinced she was balding.

If you've ever wondered if you're actually doing skincare right or just throwing money at pretty jars, this episode is for you. Starting with a viral TikTok trend that encourages women to use their own period blood as a facial mask (spoiler: dermatologically, it's a hard no!), Lisa and Heather delve into their own skincare routines and talk about what dermatologists say actually works. We tell you the three products skin doctors say you truly need and explain why the "clean" and "organic" labels on expensive products often mean less than you'd think. We also get real about lasers, Botox, fillers, and hereditary features that no amount of skincare will change, before taking a deep dive into how skipping moisturizer might raise your risk for dementia and vascular disease. Packed with myth-busters, this is the skincare conversation you'll want to send to every woman in your group chat. Show Notes:“Would you put period blood on your face?

Now that the "one glass of red wine is good for you" advice has been officially retired, is any amount of alcohol safe or is it essentially just poison on the rocks? We dig into the current research, from the surprising links between alcohol and cancer, heart disease, and inflammation, to why women process liquor so differently than men do, to the medical community's new drinking guidelines (spoiler: "moderate" now means way less than we used to think). Weighing the research against our own margarita nights and sober Octobers, this episode has left us side-eyeing our wine glasses with a touch of trepidation, but not quite ready to pour them down the sink yet.

From razor ads that invented a "problem" in 1915 to the J Sisters' salon that made the Brazilian a household word, Heather and Lisa trace the strange, sometimes prickly history of female hair removal — and why, a century later, the bush is having a comeback moment. We dig into how advertising, the bikini, Playboy, and enthusiastic celebrities shaped what women do (and don't do) below the belt, what OB-GYNs actually recommend, and why Gen Z is putting down the wax strips. Plus: the triumphant high-fashion return of the merkin.
