“Anti-Science”. “Misinformation”. These words get tossed around non stop these days. Especially when it comes to health. So, how do you know what’s true and what isn’t? Jillian tells the story of recent senate testimony at the nation's capital with a group of MD’s, PhD’s, and health advocates and activists. The event was non-partisan. The focus was rooting out corruption in healthcare and removing the 10,000 chemicals in our food and water that are banned in Europe and Canada and the rest of the developed world. Not a moment passed before the event came under fire as “MAGA” and “anti-science”. Who is behind this? Are they right? How do you question the motivations of those giving you advice? And most importantly, what is actually at stake? This one matters. Make sure to give it a listen.

With good healthcare becoming harder to find, and afford, more and more people are turning to Telehealth medicine to get their prescriptions. Generally this type of online Doc has been associated with the trendier drugs with sexy promises. From “boner pills” to weight loss drugs, Telehealth has become the easy and cheap way to get these “tabloid drugs.” Now, there’s more talk about beta blockers and arguably abusing them because they are being used for the wrong reasons. And prescribed by doctors who don’t know the patient or their medical history. If you are thinking about taking beta blockers before a big date, an important pitch meeting, or because you think it’s a daily solution for anxiety, this Hot Take is a must listen!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I find it difficult to take you seriously when you can't pronounce medullary or Wegovy. It's not Wegvoy! Do your research before giving advice.
this is my first podcast that I have listened to. from Jillian Michaels. I have many others downloaded, and I am looking forward to listening to them. excellent guest. I really wish Jillian would speak a little less, stop interrupting her and let her speak.
Loved this topic and love you Jillian but you kept interrupting and they never finished talking about the canned food😂 I guess I have to buy the book!!
This was awesome...
it's not who I am ..I agree 100% I often say this I am not a sugar coater
THIS. THIS. THIS. AMEN!!!!!! This might be the best podcast episode I've ever listened to. Thank you a million times over for COMMON SENSE. I'm so disgusted with the ignorance of society. I've checked out politically and just want people to be kind to each other. Thank you.
Jillian--NOoo! The previous blue podcast picture was better!!! The newer red one looks early 2000's. Please switch back! 😝🙏

Ive just been listening to your heartbreak episode. Jillian, remember you are enough and you are a good mum and person, you have so much going on right now, and you will get to the other side and your children will be fine, do not be so hard on yourself, give yourself time, enjoy the little things. I myself split/ divorced from my husband 6 years ago and it turns your world upside down, you have to readapt and if you've been out of the dating game for a while it's hard going. hang in there. loving your podcasts, don't change anything! best wishes. Liz
He sounds like Michael Fiore
Love the pod casts!
I love this podcast so much, but I really don't like the phone call questions! Much prefer it when y'all take questions from email/Twitter, without calling the actual question asker
I really, really missed Jillian's show. She has helped inspire and motivate me so much through everything that she does. Her radio show got me through the beginning of my weight loss, through the rough patches and all the way to the end. Now that I'm working to maintain it, I couldn't be happier to have her back. If you've never heard her show before, you are missing out. Please do yourself a big favor and check it out! She is awesome!
Thanks Jillian for bringing this show back to us. So inspired from when the show was on KFI and great to see (hear) it again and with Janice!!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVED the KFI radio show in the past: chock full of great advice, daily slices of motivation, a must-have podcast for anyone with fitness goals. Jillian is charismatic, well-spoken, and above all else blunt. She puts things into perspective. And the best part of all, it's a podcast for everyone: losing weight, getting fit, gaining weight. (And I LOVE Janice, so happy she's got a bigger role this time around!
