Episode 38: The Mayor of Kick City

2023/05/04

Welcome back to our ongoing series about hormones. Today we're discussing a HEAVILY requested topic - PMDD and PMS - that's pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder and pre-menstrual syndrome for the uninitiated. Garet takes over this hormone-centric research again and teaches Katie quite a bit about PMS - did you know it's not universal? It's almost universal, but not quite, and it actually has distinguishable symptoms that explain why you might be feeling (physically AND mentally) a certain way leading up

Welcome back to the conclusion of our series on Essential Oils! This week we learn about different health claims made by various essential oil companies including some companies that promise to help you lose weight by eating essential oils, and we delve into the rat-infested waters that are made up by predatory claims about using essential oils to treat or even "cure" ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder in children. Don't worry though - we also finish by telling you what to look for on the label when

Oh boy we sure hope you're ready to tumble down the absolute sunken gravy train of a disaster that the world of Essential Oils brings us to this week! Katie takes a lead on research and she's teaching us all about what an essential oil is - Why are they essential? Can I eat them? Why does the girl who was mean to me in high school keep trying to get me to "join her team" in order to sell them? We have answers, but you're not going to like them. Part 1 of our series on Essential Oils teaches us what

Episode 35: Small Scale Prizes

2023/04/13

A few weeks ago, we discussed ADHD & Stimming -- and in that episode Katie gave us a hint as to a future episode. Well, this is that episode! This week we are discussing Sensory Processing Disorder. SPD is not a separate and distinct diagnosis but it is something that, surprisingly, exists on a spectrum, and can effect everything from being thrill-seeking to having such severe texture aversions to food that you can't eat. We also dip our toe into the apraxia pool but will stay in the shallow end for

Episode 34: You Know, the Girl Meat

The Bar is Ankle High ·

2023/04/06

There's an extra dose of dysfunction in this episode but we think it fits since we're talking about how the computers are all trying to take our jobs and the best way to fight back! Okay not really - but we are talking about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Algorithmic Bias in Healthcare today. Piggybacking on our episodes about Medical Bias (#29 and #30, in case you want to re-listen real quick), this episode was recommended to us by a listener and we take a look at what AI in Healthcare looks

Welcome back for Part 2 of Garet's deep dive in PCOS -- this week we're delving into PCOS and infertility issues. Garet shares with us what she had to go through to conceive little baby Gandalf Shrek Junior and everything that entailed -- if you've never tried to get pregnant before this is a must listen because we learned even more about how things are NOT the size of cheerios. If you have gone through infertility or are currently in it, our hearts go out to you and we would love to hear your

We're going back to the hormone monsters for part 1 of our exploration of Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and what having that actually does to your body (and your hormones). Coming off four hormone episodes and our medical bias episodes, we think you'll really enjoy this deep dive into reproductive health and how our reproductive organs can actually maybe cause diabetes??? That's right we also take a dip into the insulin pool but don't worry we stay in the shallow end -- this time. To stay

Episode 31: Yogi Bear’s Survivalist School

2023/03/16

Welcome to our episode on PTSD -- you may think it has nothing to do with ADHD, but you'd be wrong! It turns out, the amount of overlap between PTSD and ADHD is alarming and frequently leads to misdiagnosis, especially in children. Katie takes us on a deep dive into brain chemistry and surviving mayhem, we gene splice ourselves with fainting goats, and Garet did her best to trip us and run away faster so the bears would eat us first. Nice, Garet. Real nice. But at least now we know how to introduce

Welcome back to Medical Bias Part 2 - Giant Trigger Warning at the top here because we start out discussing racial medical bias in healthcare. Some BIPOC creators we love who are way better at expounding the details on this topic are (on Instagram) @rachel.cargle @ibramxk @nikolehannajones @decolonize__ (two underscores) and @upsettingthesetup . In addition to our discussions on racial disparities in healthcare, we also discuss medical bias when it comes to ADHD and neurodivergent conditions. Garet

2023/03/02

Time to buckle up because this week Katie takes us all on a journey of anger and re-discovering all the things we already knew as women existing in the world. This week we start our dive into medical bias -- starting off with - did you know there are FIVE types of biases? Some alarming statistics send Garet on a spiraling rabbit hole of anger and grunty noises while we round out the episode discussing medical bias in obesity. According to one study, doctors who responded to the survey viewed obese

Episode 28: This Pregnancy Has Everything

The Bar is Ankle High ·

2023/02/23

We're finally covering that topic that is the inspiration behind our very first sponsor - STIMMING! What is stimming, why do we do it, and what does it mean? Can stimming actually be good for you? This week Katie handled the research and took us on a deep dive into different types of stimming - auditory, visual, tactile, or balance-based. We also take a dive into using food as a stim to soothe ourselves, and there is a trigger warning when that starts, but you can expect it to begin around the 40:00

Episode 26: Pubert the Hormone Monster

The Bar is Ankle High ·

2023/02/09

We are rounding out our initial hormone series with a detailed discussion on perimenopause and menopause. Garet takes Katie into a side quest where they fawn over the immortal magic of Maya Rudolph and Nick Kroll in Big Mouth and Katie demands that her uterus be removed and donated to Goodwill or someone who wants one. There's an outstanding callback to Episode 25 in the first five minutes of this episode, and we eventually get into the effect all these hormones have had on ADHD and what ADHD looks

Episode 25: Queen Elizabeth: Testosterone Junkie

The Bar is Ankle High ·

2023/02/02

It's Part 3 of our hormone extravaganza and this week we start off discussing the curious case of testosterone surges and how they were meant to fight off saber tooth tigers but instead Queen Elizabeth used them to become the largest imperialist society in the world. Or something like that. In reality, the ladies tackle pregnancy this week and all the placenta magic that entails -- and they spent a good amount of time learning what the hell a placenta is and also why are we suddenly hungry for a

2023/01/26

Welcome to Part 2 of our series on hormones and the AFAB experience! This week, Katie stays mad at the patriarchy and both ladies take a moment to marvel at the magic that is human evolution. This episode gets another Flappy Doodle (tm) reference, so hold onto your maxi pad unitard and make sure you go poop before this gravy train leaves the station. In the meantime, remember to be kind to yourself because --- well you made it this far so you know the drill -- the bar is ankle high and hormones

Are you feeling moody? This is Part 1 of our Hormone Series and we are fired up! We have decided to fight the entire patriarchy this week and demand an adjustment to the gender pay gap so AFABs are accurately compensated for the full bullshit we have to put up with strictly because of our natural hormonal cycles. This week we begin with tackling puberty and menstrual cycles. Garet handled the research on this one but the ladies shared their experiences with early puberty and, of course, reflecting

Happy New Year!!! Or whatever Frosty the Snowman said. It's that time of year again - the time of year where the sun dies and we're thrust into a cold, damp, reality where everything is gray and tanning beds are trying to kill you. Okay maybe we're being dramatic, but the reality is that Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) affects up to 5% of Americans and can happen in the winter OR the summer! Who knew?! This week Garet takes us on a magical journey of analogies and treatments for our SAD. The best
