Is Ozempic A Miracle Drug? with Jamison Worley MS, LDN, RDN, CNS Oct 09, 2023

Show notes

This week’s episode is one that Kat tried to avoid making… but eventually she had to join the conversation. For about the past year, drugs containing semiglutide (like ozempic) have been gaining popularity in doctor’s offices and in the media. So, is this what we have all been looking for? Did someone finally discover the cure for the “so called” disease that doctors are labeling as “Obesity.”
In this episode, Kat invites her long time friend and colleague, Jamison Worley, to the show to talk about what semiglutide is, how it works, and what the current research actually says. Jamison is the founder of Worley Nutrition Group and is a licensed and registered dietitian that specializes in eating disorders, diabetes, and sports nutrition. This conversation is meant to offer more accurate information to listeners— not to tell them what to do— but to give them the opportunity to make accurate and informed decisions for themselves.

Fake Science AND Joe Dispenza Sep 25, 2023

Show notes

This week Kat takes a DEEP dive into the ever popular meditation and “health” guru, Joe Dispenza. In this episode, Kat talks about what separates real science from pseudoscience (fake science that tries to pass as science). The tricky part is, pseudoscience mimics real science by co-opting their terms and using them in a way that sets you up to want to believe it’s true. Here we will discuss how we can keep an eye out for the red flags that scream “SCAM”. And what does Joe Dispenza have to do with all of this? You’ll just have to listen to find out. 😉

I'm Going to Therapy for the First Time! With Josie Oldham and Julia Langer Sep 18, 2023

Show notes

Who remembers their first time? This week, Kat, Josie, and Julia reminisce on the first time they ever went to therapy. And surprise! All of their experiences were a little bit different. Kat refused to speak in her session, Julia's may have told her therapist what she didn't like about her, and Josie was wishing her therapist was "cooler".

Kat wanted to have a conversation that talked about what it is like to go to therapy for the first time and what you may experience yourself because doing new things can be super intimidating. While we can't tell you exactly what it will be like- we can give you three perspectives from three different therapists. In this episode we answer listener questions including:

What happens if I don't know what to talk about in session?
How many sessions will it take to know if your therapist is the right fit?
What kind of questions does a therapist ask during the first session?
As a therapist, how do you prepare for a new client and what are some ways you try to ease the discomfort of a first timer?
How do you get over the fear of embarrassment knowing you will cry the whole time?
AND MORE!
