Erin is always well informed and relevant.
There are lots of women who would be great co-hosts who add to the program and make it better, Sami is one.
As an older (than Erin) American, I appreciate that Sami's younger, and has a different POV.
Your co-hosts should have a different upbringing and life path ( than Erin. )

Love the show, not impressed that you both think that health is a zero sum game between the sexes. If you want men to be more compassionate to women, this is not the way to go about it.
Its not that men can't take care of themselves, it's that they're raised they have no value if they're not wealthy or buff – hence peptides, cars, gambling, drugs, and fear of smiling at a woman without being charged with sexual harassment.
I don't have this issue but I was born in the 80's but I can see these incels today so self conscious and afraid of reality that they jump to assault rifles and abuse to feel seen.
We need to be more supportive of men in the sense that looking after others and the community gives a sense of pride, and after that we look after ourselves being proud of ourselves for looking after others. But for men who have nobody depending on them, or men who have been berated their entire lives, or men who have no friends except people who exploit them, it's not surprising men need support to not wind up as mass shooters.
If you care about mass shootings then you should care about helping raise men. They haven't gotten this attention other than violence, alcoholism, sports, and money bro. Just because men got that attention for ages doesn't mean they ever got taught how to be a real healthy man.
Just my two cents as a 40-y/o well adjusted man who looks after his community and friends thanks to being raised by a single mom in a church and then stepfather who (misguided but well intentioned) wanted to spend time with me as a teen. I voided all of them with the excuse of working crap jobs, but I learned to appreciate their efforts by how little money and free time I had from working while avoiding them lol. Makes generosity feel different when you're avoiding receiving it and dolling it out on your loved ones after earning it painfully.
Guys just learn different. Looking them in the eye and challenging them to feel things isn't as effective as feeling good about cutting the neighbour's lawn because her husband just died and looked sad, even if you went to school all day in detention and worked all evening afterwards. It's the free lawn mow after the abuse and struggle that makes it click – not being told to mow the lawn or bribed with money.
Edit: and on the biology note, males develop mentally 2 yrs later than women, which means due to variability a significant number of them are 24 when they reach the mentality of a 16 year old girl on the other end of the curve. It's really harsh to not treat them a bit like children when their biology might just be entirely the cause in 1/4 of cases. Would you blame any mentally deficiency on the person born with it or just stunted men who are expected to already know better without being told?
I was lucky to be born with nerd genes but I had plenty of friends I still coach today without calling them dumb or losers for being delayed. It just feels so harsh the way it's presented here.

All of men’s problems today regarding their health, they’re insecurities their inability to function in society how they don’t understand how to treat women and on, and on, and on all goes back to them, not having a strong positive meal role model in their lives, whether their father was a douche bag who treated their mother like shit or the guy dipped out. The reality is when you grow up around men who command respect because they respect other people it trickles down and you kinda learn how to be a decent human being.

To me it’s pretty simple. People who have kids don’t take to the streets to protest, because they can’t.
Umm…y’all ever thought about the fact that men have more heart issues because they occupy the majority of menial/ manual labor jobs? Just a thought.
Like how many people give themselves heart attacks during winter?

And let's not forget the chastity culture with the stupid "promise rings", and kids looking for loopholes: Oral doesn't count and neither does anal. Rubbing against each other "doesn't count. And the result was…teen pregnancies.

The solar plexus is just below the breast bone. If cold put heat on it. If hot put ice on it. It warms or cools the entire body from there. Well done, Erin!!!

Just a note….don't have a kid to be a companion for your other child. I have way too many friends who hate their siblings bc they were born to be their elder sibling's constant sidekick & their parents expected them to be subsumed by their siblings' desires.
I know Erin means it cutely, but on a practical note…don't do that. Have another kid because you want to be a parent again & want to raise another full complete human. Having a kid as a companion for you, your child, a fix for your relationship, or a caretaker for you is just gambling with someone else's life. They get the final say & statistically, it goes the opposite way you want.
*Edit* also, what you're talking about is we need to educate men to be part of the community instead of heads of the community. They're taught to be leaders of a community that did not ask for a leader & protectors of a community that doesn't need protection from anything BUT them.
If men want to benefit from a community, they need to participate in it. That's what you described.

When your body is hot, in addition to perspiring, your heart rate increases. That second part most people are not aware of.
This is the bodies attempt to increase blood flow to carry away the heat built-up in the hot inner core of your body towards the skin. So your body is attempting to transfer the excess out towards your skin, where you are sweating.
It’s a very effective system and we have quite an advantage over other animals like dogs and cats that really don’t sweat except for maybe their paws. However, that cooling system fails in humid weather as many of you know from experience.
So it naturally follows that putting ice in the bra is going to really cool down the hot core of your body and boost the effectiveness of that.
The unfortunate side effect of your heart beating faster when the temperatures rise is, it tends to kill the elderly. Even those in pretty good shape for their age still suffer as their hearts cannot sustain the stress of being forced to run at an elevated rate without break. So if you’re an elderly person and it’s hot or you don’t have air-conditioning. You’ve got to find a way to cool your body down because unlike a young person you will die.

Pussy whipped 66 year old male here. I laughed my ass off when you painted an image of a bro vacuum cleaner with flames on it. Brilliant! Take it to Dyson. They’d do it. Better yet, trademark that idea! Love your work, keep going!

"Raised Catholic by parents who thought sex was evil" … Aren't all Catholic parents like that?! Mine had seven kids, so I suspect they were also, "Do as we say, NOt what we do!" parents.
And the priests, nuns and "catholic" parents wonder why we became the Woodstock Generation!
Fortunately, I was a great researcher … at a time when research was done in encyclopedias (Ecyclopediai?) and of course Playboy (Hustler and Penthouse were not available yet) … Yeah those Playboy letters are REAL … you know! Anyway, we had the will to learn, and we worked it out. Coming from a farming area, we had a pretty good idea what caused pregnancies and we didn't want THAT! And cling wrap was coming into use as a sandwich wrapping material! Perhaps we were wrong, there must be a God … a God that wanted us to have fun WITH consenting others but not become teenaged parents.
Ahhhh … glory days.

This convo reminds me of something my ex fiance had as a affirmation,"Don't walk in front of me I may not follow,don't walk behind me I may not need,Just walk beside me and be my friend" as a single father of two -daughter and son I raised them to be able to both change a tyre AND do their own Laundry etc ,then they would go stay with their mum and she would do Everything for them which I also get, great new podcast without Alissa ,all these best for whatever your up to Allisa ✌🏻😎from New Zealand ✌🏻
