On this week's episode, Remy and Emily dive right into the Scoop Du Jour, a new TikTok trend where people edit themselves to be "100 pounds less" to use as inspiration for weight loss. They talk about why these A.I. images might be even more dangerous than the "thinspo" from our Tumblr days. Why do we torture ourselves with all these filters in the first place? Later, they answer a Dear DST email from a listener who had to attend a talk by David Sinclair at a work conference about his scientific work around avoiding aging. The listener was outraged by his advice to live on 2 meals (with no snacks) and a huge roster of supplements. Is she right to feel triggered? Would the audience's reaction have been different if it was a woman suggesting this limited diet? Plus, Remy and Emily talk about whether or not it's worth it to live such a restricted life, even if it does provide longevity.

what happened to the old girls that hosted this? The new hosts are terrible 😫
OMG, the part about the applicator.....I literally had the same exact experience. You are not alone. We really need to talk about this stuff, at least amongst us women.
I died when you said Josh peck!!
This provided a lot of food for thought--and some jpurnalling I think I need to do. Thank you
This episode gave me some good food for thought and self-reflection. Thank you
something about this Tanya Zuckerbrot lady rubs me the wrong way. it feels more like she's selling a product than she is advocating for a healthy lifestyle. also calling major BS that this isn't restrictive--this diet (weight loss method, not philosophy *cue eyerolling*) is restrictive AF. do appreciate the interviewer poking some holes (though she keeps getting interrupted and talked over, unfortunately).
so many commercials in the last couple of episodes, super annoying
the one girls cursing in this sucks and makes it so I can't listen to it
❤️
Episode 26 was amazing. Thank you so much for sharing it - Kelsey has been my favorite guest so far.
He was my fav guest so far
your audio turned to shit
looking forward to starting this podcast but had to change in the first couple of minutes...too much cursing 🙉 concept is great so super bummed.
13:00 😂😂😂😂 whos on first!? Loving this.
get a crockpot! if you work long days like me the last thing you want is to cook when you get home! set the crockpot in the morning and it's ready when you get home!
THANK YOU! Can't count how many times I nodded and agreed throughout this episode lol
