On this week’s episode of Well, Now Kavita and Maya tackle hormonal health with the FLO Living CEO and see what other options are available when treating hormone imbalances.

Well, Now: Can Kids Be Healthy at Any Size?

We live in a weight-obsessed world, and children are not immune. From the moment a child is born, their weight and height are tracked and recorded. Then throughout their development, these metrics are used as one of the main factors to determine their health. But as the Health at Every Size (HAES) philosophy continues to gain traction for some adults, is there use for it as a part of growing children’s well-being, too? On this week’s episode of Well, Now Maya and Kavita speak with pediatric dietitian Jill Castle and her approach to children’s health, which marries the traditional medical approach with a body-postive, HAES model. Her latest book is Kids Thrive At Every Size: How to Nourish Your Big, Small, or In-Between Child for a Lifetime of Health and Happiness.

Podcast on mental health

28/11/2023

Waow ! This was an outstanding exchange. Not sure it is about agreeing or disagreeing but embracing the fact that the human mind is unique and that we are creatures of nuance and contradictions that need to be handled so that we can move forward. In the US, we like black & white solutions and placing people and their issues into boxes. It comes as reassuring but real life and real people - whether psychotic or not - are always evolving shades of grey.
Strong Premise, Unrealized

28 jun

Obscureusername

This show frustrates me because the premise - let’s bring on folks we disagree with and hear them out and have a reasonable debate - should make for a great podcast. But in practice, they simply do not bring on people they disagree with. Instead, they bring on people who they do agree with about 99% of the issue with the remaining point of contention almost always being, “I think we should listen to the other side and try to understand them”… A proposal that any reasonable person could get behind, but which the host presents as wildly radical. This latest episode is the perfect example of the pattern. To discuss the tradwife movement, would it not be the obvious move for a show supposedly about being open minded (the host ends the show reminding us to be open minded) to bring in the most articulate defender of that movement they could find? Instead, we bring in a fellow critic of the movement whose supposedly radical premise is, “Maybe these wrong headed women have a point or two.” These are intra ideological quibbles, not any serious attempt to bridge meaningful disagreements… And the fact that the host of a show supposedly about encouraging healthy debate almost always argues against taking the other side seriously is just… I mean, could anything be more ironic?

ASMR Carter

Impossible to take McWorter seriously after he said he couldn’t teach “4:33” because it was too noisy outside, exposing himself as both an intellectual charlatan and an advocate for the repression of free speech in one fell swoop. What an embarrassing moment for both Columbia and the New York Times, as they both choose to err on the side of genocide rather than live up to their own ideals.

When someone is stupid enough to argue that interracial marriages can still be racist if they don’t hew to radical leftist anti-racism ideology, I won’t waste my time on this show any longer.
