Top Health & Fitness Podcasts

Welcome to "Similarly Different," the podcast where host Yanina Oyarzo takes you on a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and growth. In this introspective and candid series, Yanina shares her personal experiences and invites guests from diverse backgrounds to explore how we are all - similarly different.

Every misdiagnosis–or missed diagnosis–has a story. The Blind Spot goes looking for it. Each episode goes back to the beginning, as physicians revisit the cases that kept them up at night and patients recount the persistence it took to finally break through a diagnostic wall. The clues were often there. The question is why no one connected them.

From systemic biases where a woman's chronic pain is dismissed as "emotional," to conditions that present differently across diverse patient populations, to the incredible administrative pressures facing providers doing their best. 

The Blind Spot reveals what it takes to see what medicine almost missed — and what it costs when we aren’t seeing each other clearly across the exam room.

Joy is essential.

Hosted by Holly Frey of Stuff You Missed in History Class, Season 3 of Our Skin: A Personal Discovery Podcast expands the conversation to spotlight the real, unfiltered stories of people living with psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), and other conditions that show up on the skin—and what it means to navigate life in a body that others (and you!) don’t always understand.

Each episode, we pull up a seat for people who’ve been there: through the appointments, the flare-ups, the questions, and the quiet moments in between. These are honest, practical conversations about what actually helps: how to advocate for yourself, how to leave a doctor’s office feeling heard and taken seriously, and how to navigate the hard parts without having to figure it all out on your own. Because here, you’re not learning the hard way; you’re learning from people who already have.

Next, we zoom out to explore the wild, weird, and sometimes complicated history of skincare and treatment—from ancient remedies to modern breakthroughs that are still evolving.

Because when we share our stories with people who understand them we create something bigger than awareness. We create community. A place where you’re not the only one in the room… and you never have to feel that way again.

What I Survived is a true survival podcast featuring extraordinary first-hand stories from people who survived kidnapping, hostage situations, disasters, accidents and other extreme life-or-death ordeals.

Each story takes you back to who these people were before everything changed, then inside the moment their lives were pushed to the edge — shipwrecked at sea for weeks, held captive by terrorists, falling 15,000 feet from a plane after a parachute failure, and other extraordinary fights for survival.

Through intimate first-hand accounts, we follow the ordeal as it happened, the decisions made under unimaginable pressure, and the resilience and will it took to survive.

Then we explore what came after — the physical and psychological recovery, the impact of trauma, and the process of rebuilding a life forever altered.

You know Roald Dahl as the writer who thought up Willy Wonka, Matilda, and the BFG. But did you know he was also a spy? "The Secret World of Roald Dahl" is a wild journey through the hidden chapters of his extraordinary, controversial life. How did this secret agent and struggling screenwriter wind up as the most successful children’s author ever? And what darkness from his covert past seeped into the stories we read as kids? A dark, twisty, fascinating true story from creator and host Aaron Tracy.

It usually starts quietly. You wake up at 3:17am. Again. The weight that used to move doesn't budge. Your patience runs thin. Your energy's all over the place. Your doctor runs your labs and says they're "normal" but you know something has shifted.

It has a name: perimenopause.

The Well Drop is the podcast for women in midlife who are done with confusion, overwhelm, and done chasing the next wellness trend. It's for the woman who wants real perimenopause and menopause answers and a girlfriend who actually knows the science to walk her through them.

That girlfriend is Amber Berger, a wellness lifestyle expert, midlife strategist, and lifelong wellness rebel. Every week, she connects the dots between what you're feeling and what to actually do about it.

Amber's story starts in 1994. At 14, she was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and handed a future of medication and management. She chose a different path: deep curiosity, radical self-trust, and the belief that the body can heal when you give it what it actually needs. Through lifestyle, she put her Crohn's into remission and has kept herself well, naturally, ever since.

Then midlife hit.

The same woman who'd rebuilt her health from the ground up at 14 found herself doing it all over again — this time through perimenopause, with no roadmap, no clear answers, and a wellness industry that was never built for this chapter. So she built one herself.

That's how The Well Drop Method was born: a four-part framework designed not just for women, but for their partners too. Because midlife isn't something anyone should have to figure out alone.

Amber is certified in holistic health coaching, perimenopause, peptide therapy, fasting, and breath work — a rare mix that bridges conventional wellness with the tools midlife women actually need. Long before "hormone health" started trending, she was questioning the standard advice and testing lifestyle-first solutions on herself over the last 10 years. That rebel mindset forged at 14, refined over 30 years, is the foundation of everything you'll hear here.

This show goes beyond the doctor's office and into your real, daily life. Because perimenopause doesn't get solved in a single appointment. It's shaped, more than anything, by your everyday habits.

Inside, you'll learn:

• The early signs of perimenopause most women miss
• Why you're waking up between 2 and 4am and solutions
• What's really behind midlife weight gain and a slower metabolism
• How cortisol and blood sugar drive your hormones
• Why brain fog and anxiety ramp up in your 40s
• How to support your hormones through lifestyle
• When supplements, peptides, HRT, or medical support are worth considering
• Real, doable steps you can start today

This is for the woman who's:

• Tired of the wellness noise
• Fed up with being dismissed
• Looking for clarity, not more to-dos
• Ready to be told what actually works

If you've ever searched:

• "perimenopause symptoms and solutions"
• "how to balance hormones in midlife"
• "why am I waking up at 3am in my 40s?"
• "midlife weight gain help"
• "brain fog and anxiety in perimenopause"

…you're in the right place.

Midlife isn't the beginning of decline. It's the moment you get the roadmap you were never handed and finally own your wellness, for yourself and the women coming up behind you.

So if you've got a friend who's been waking up at 3am too, send her this. None of us should be doing this alone.

Press play. Own it.

You got this. I got you.
