Peptides are everywhere. Ozempic won't leave the headlines. And social media seems determined to convince us that the next health breakthrough is only one purchase away. So what's actually worth paying attention to? In this episode, Danielle welcomes celebrity trainer, nutrition scientist, and bestselling author Harley Pasternak for an unfiltered conversation about the biggest wellness trends dominating the internet right now. From peptides and Ozempic to detoxes, supplements, fiber-maxxing, and celebrity health culture, Harley breaks down what's backed by science, what's overhyped, and what's potentially dangerous. In this episode, you'll learn:
Why Harley says most peptides being promoted online are essentially an uncontrolled experiment on human beings
The surprising reason he trusts Ozempic and GLP-1s, but remains deeply skeptical of most other peptides
The scary reality of what's actually being found inside many peptides sold online
Why "Big Pharma doesn't want you to know" is often a red flag, not a revelation
The wellness trend Harley says has absolutely no evidence behind it
How social media created a generation of people taking supplements they can't explain
Why Harley changed his mind about Ozempic after years of opposing it
The concept of "food noise" and what GLP-1s may actually be doing inside the brain
The shocking reason Harley walked away from The Biggest Loser before it became a hit
Why focusing on weight loss can make you less healthy (and what to focus on instead)
The Viktor Frankl quote that completely changed Harley's approach to health, happiness, and success
The lesson about weight loss that most busy people miss
Why intermittent fasting may be a lot less revolutionary than you've been led to believe
The one form of exercise Harley believes every woman should prioritize—even if she hates it
What working with Jessica Simpson, Megan Fox, Halle Berry, and the Kardashians taught Harley about discipline and success
In a world obsessed with hacks, shortcuts, and miracle solutions, what Harley says actually works

Peptides, Ozempic, Lies + Health Hacks: What Actually Works? with Harley Pasternak

Women entered the workforce. We got the degrees. We built careers. So why do so many of us still feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and like we're falling behind? In this episode of Question Everything, economist, professor, and author Corinne Low helps us unpack the hidden economics of modern womanhood, from invisible labor and unequal leisure time to the surprising role our relationships play in our ability to become who we want to be. Corinne and Danielle explore what "having it all" actually means, why choosing a partner may be one of the most important decisions we'll ever make, and whether women are still making trades inside a social contract we never agreed to. Because this conversation isn't really about chores, marriage, or even economics. It's about a bigger question: What does becoming look like for us—and what are we willing to trade to get there? In this episode, you'll learn:
Why women still perform trillions of dollars of unpaid labor every year
What 400 extra hours a year could mean for our careers, health, creativity, and happiness
Why equality at work didn't automatically create equality at home
The hidden reason so many ambitious women feel perpetually exhausted
Why Corinne says choosing a partner is one of the most important economic decisions we'll ever make
The surprising quality that's sexier than "sexy" in a long-term relationship
How invisible labor affects ambition, career growth, and self-worth
Why resentment often starts with time, not money
The trap many couples fall into when one person's goals take priority over the other's
Corinne's argument that a happy marriage requires both people to be self-actualized
Why "having it all" may be the wrong question entirely
The tradeoffs every woman is making (whether she realizes it or not)
How modern relationships can either accelerate or limit who we're becoming
A question Danielle couldn't stop thinking about: What would you do with ten extra weeks of your life every year?
