Kate Beckinsale wiped her Instagram last week after trolls decided she must be on Ozempic, then revealed the real reason, tied to grief and a health condition she's had since sixteen. Chalene Johnson breaks down why the internet's first assumption about any thin woman is always the same one, using Lizzo, Kylie Jenner, Kelly Osbourne, and Olivia Wilde as the latest examples.
Then, a new Stanford study analyzing more than 21,000 women found that estrogen only hormone therapy is linked to measurably less Alzheimer's related brain plaque, confirmed by autopsy rather than memory complaints. Chalene explains who actually qualifies for estrogen only therapy and how to bring the research to your own doctor.
She also covers a new survey showing 40% of Americans have already been scammed by AI, a viral video of a woman who refused to train the cheaper replacement who got her promotion, and a new collagen treatment tested on skin from real plastic surgery patients.
Topics discussed: Kate Beckinsale, mast cell activation syndrome, Lizzo, Kylie Jenner, Kelly Osbourne, Olivia Wilde, Stanford study, estrogen, Alzheimer's, Women's Health Initiative, AI scams, voice cloning, Demi Moore, theunobsolete, collagen study.
