There was a Law and Order: SVU episode about a doctor who impregnated a coma patient to get the stem cells from her abortion to help an Alzheimer’s patient. It was from. It was S4 Ep 8 titles Waste so this theory has been around for quite a while.

I never quit with hunter s Thompson but love the fear and loathing reference - you should read his Pulitzer divorce article all about palm beach being easy to bribe and get away with anything like Nygars Bahamas situation. Still prevalent 40 years later with trump and Epstein! It’s a good read

I would looove to hear your thoughts on bio hacking I seem to see everyone talk about it but how much of it is just routed in conspiracy or speculation?

Allison C

What self care pet??

hi shannon! in case you see this - rethinking wellness (hosted by a dietician) has a great episode debunking the protein myth - TLDR - most People do not need nearly as much as is hyped. eating balanced meals with all your macros (fat carbs protein fiber) is great tho - hunger crushing combos to satiate and provide balanced energy. abbey sharpe is also a great dietician on youtube and tiktok who gives awesome tips about how to stay full and eat well.

I don't check my phone right away but I also don't keep my phone in my bedroom at night

Chloe

Glazed over the fact that your family saved placenta too 🤣 whose freezer?

Jennifer Lake

Thank you! Vibrio sepsis has such high fatality rates. And people have to have limbs amputated to stop the spread before it gets to the bloodstream. So scary

Maggielicious

I’ve had jra since I was a child , idk why this episode made me kinda sad 😔

Insomniac

literally just talking to someone on twitter about vibrio. A doc on twitter said that he had treated a man with vibrio who got sepsis and died. Nothing to mess around with and good post.

Jacqueline

Never realized the Adrenochrome theory aligns with Monsters Inc.

Full disclosure I also stopped drinking in November of last year. But it’s the first time I live actually lost weight and kept it off as an adult. I didn’t drop a ton of weight from drinking, at least not right away. I aim for 100g+ a day and usually end up between 100-150. I snack soooo much less when I get 30-40g at breakfast and just in general. I feel leaner and less bloated but just so much more satisfied and I don’t think about snacking as much. I think by default I’m getting more fiber too because I’m pairing with veggies so I’m more regular

In regards to little experimental changes- I’ve been reading on my lunch break at work instead of cruising my phone and it’s made SUCH a difference in my attitude second half of the day.

I used to “donate” (sell, but legally I don’t think they can call it that lol) my plasma in college once a week or so for a several month period. I stopped going because I’d sometimes get rejected due to my protein/hemoglobin(?) levels being too low (I was 20 and vegetarian at the time so makes sense), but when I was able to do it they’d give you an ATM card and load ~$50 on it each time u donated. Whole thing would take maybe like 2 hrs including the health screen/wait time and you could do it up to twice a week I believe, a pretty decent gig for a little extra cash!

All for more protein! I worked with a practitioner to heal different things and we worked heavily on my diet. Try to get 30+ grams each meal. I’ll mix protein powder in yogurt or add cottage cheese to eggs to up the protein count. I’ll add a side of turkey sausage to literally anything. There’s also a lot of really good recipes for ground turkey/ground beef. I also try to do protein snacks like Chomps sticks. Adding more protein helps balance your blood sugar, makes you feel full longer and allows you to build muscle.

Natalie m

Yes

Erin

Are you talking about Finch?

RJ

Okay also!!! Having seen some of the insanity the skincare girlies do the weirdest thing I’ve seen this year is people getting salmon sperm injections 😭

RJ

I haven’t been doing high protein as much as trying to force myself to eat more veggies which is hard, but I do notice I feel totally different when I start my day with veggies and protein and a carb instead of something super sugary or just carbs. I wish it was easier though oml

RJ

I only really wear underwear when I’m working out or going out and beyond that I’m also very pro sleeping nude lol. It’s nice to feel free from all the clothes and things digging in even if they fit well

Natalie m

Shannon thank you for mentioning ur self care pet! I just got one and I already love it. Lmk if u want me to add ur code so I can send some rainbow stones ur way lol

Kooky Creative

Thanks! I’ll check it out! 🐶

Shannon McNamara

Finch! My friend told me about it and I’m liking it a lot so far!

peerie

Dunno if I can get on board with the no underwear though hahaha

peerie

Also been trying to up my protein intake! I’ve only been doing it for like 5 days and I’ve already noticed positive changes. I’m more satisfied throughout the day and my BED is nonexistent (bc I’m actually full and literally cannot). I hate cottage cheese but it’s very easy to hide and Greek yogurt too! It also doesn’t feel restrictive at all which is so helpful

Marie Jane

I did no underwear for years because it was just more comfortable (still is most of the time). Never had any issues. I didn’t wear it starting in middle school lol. It’s bc i did dance , and underwear + tights made you look like you had a diaper on so i just fully stopped wearing it then 😭

Kooky Creative

What’s the self care pet that you mentioned you check in the morning? Is that an app?

Kooky Creative

I’ve actually been doing the no underwear thing for a few weeks already and I’m noticing positive differences!

Erin

On Andrew humberman, this podcast called decoding the gurus does a good episode on him, not about the scandal with the women but about how he misrepresents the studies in his videos and although he links papers, most people won't read them and if they do may not be educated enough to understand them properly. He himself talks about things that he's not really qualified to talk about.

Madeline McGrath

Discovered this bc I’m pregnant and had wicked nausea first trimester- dr recommended upping my protein intake and this was the only way I could tolerate it. Meat disgusted me lol

Madeline McGrath

re protein- I add Greek yogurt to literally everything- any sauce, dressing, sandwich. I mean everything. If I can hide it it’s in there. I don’t even like the taste of Greek yogurt really so the goal is to conceal conceal conceal lol. Currently eating grits for breakfast with a little butter cheese hot sauce and a quarter cup of Greek yog. Can’t taste it

Peyton Freeman

I would love to get a mini episode about John Summit and Ashtin Earle’s relationship

Court

off topic, but i loved your recent podcast episode with Christy of X Knows All! it's always so great when the two of you record together.by the way, i hope you still do an episode on celebrity typecasting or something in the future :)

Andrea Garcia

I agree!!! I feel like they fly by I would love more Shannon lol

Andrea Garcia

What differences have you noticed? How much protein are you intaking? I’m so interested !

Meghan O'Hara

Is it bad that the idea of living for a longer period of time sounds terrible? Maybe I'm just depressed but please don't keep me on this earth longer than necessary.

Nataley N.

literally the protein thing could be life changing for me pls i need it

Courtney

I’ve been doing high protein since March and I hate to report that that tiktok girlies are correct, it’s life changing

Christine Porter

Yesss protein goal!! My hack is adding egg whites to everything I make, especially rice! I buy them in a little carton. Btw the underwear trick worked for me lol

Giuliette

Loved this! You should do longer episodes 🫶

Jennifer Lake

I wonder if what people were referring to as magical waters was actually just clean water or natural springs with minerals. Maybe the people who looked young for their age were just hydrated lol. I guess I'll be the annoying academic here 😂 but please don't go in the ocean with a cut, especially in the summertime. You could get infected with a flesh eating bacteria called vibrio. 🫶🏻 Also, fecal transplants are literally transplanting someone's poop into someone else's colon or putting it in capsules and taking it orally. If you haven't watched the gut health documentary on Netflix, you should. One girl was using her brother's feces and got acne bc he had acne so she started using her partners poop, but then she got depressed bc he was depressed. Wild stuff. I get icked out by spit so easily since I became a clinical microbiologist. I've been watching love island and seeing all of them kiss each other grosses me out. *Oprah voice* "you get herpes and you get herpes!" Lmao. Sorry this was so stupid long 😅

Skylar Little

Also I’m 24 and I do not know the consequences of taking menopause supplements lol

Skylar Little

Awesome word doc idea! Adjacent TMI thing that just happened to me- my period was super delayed (3 weeks) and confirmed not pregnant. Just terrible pms and period wouldn’t start. I got mango ginger tea and boiled it with parsley. And I took these two pills called Winged Wellness Hot Momma Perimenopausal and Menopausal Relief which is just a bunch of supplements alongside some garlic, spearmint, and iron pills. I went to bed with a heat pad and things were fixed that night.
