This week, we are doing something new. Heather is having a 1:1 sit down with Lili Zarghami, founder of the online magazine Jenny, for a candid, unfiltered conversation about GLP-1 drugs, weight, and the complicated realities of living in a woman's body.

From illness and aging to body shaming and the quiet mental load of trying to do everything exactly "right"—and still gaining weight—we unpack the promises and pitfalls of GLP-1 drugs like Mounjaro.

This isn’t a before-and-after story tied up in a pink bow. It’s about what happens when weight loss works, when it doesn’t, and why both outcomes can mess with your head. Show notes: You can read Lili Zarghami's essay series, "A Month of Mounjaro" at Jenny Magazine, https://jennymag.com/2024/01/14/mounjaro-diary-part-1/ You can read Heather O'Neill's essay, "Out for Blood" at Jenny Magazine, https://jennymag.com/2024/02/07/endometriosis-hysterectomy-gaslighting/ You can buy Johann Hari's book, "Magic Pill," here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/743989/magic-pill-by-johann-hari/

Another Bloody Podcast co-hosts Lisa Pierce Flores and Heather O'Neill are both survivors of Stage 4 endometriosis. Here, in Part 2 of their deep dive into endometriosis, they interview one another about their many years of suffering from the disease, attempting to find a diagnosis, and finally, after many of false starts and a fair amount of medical gaslighting, how they each found some level of relief from their symptoms. For a research-based rundown on the disease, listen to Another Bloody Podcast Episode 4, Bloody Hell: Welcome to the (Not So) Wonderful World of Endometriosis.

In this episode, we unpack the Kristin Cabot “kiss cam” scandal—and the fallout that follows when someone's worst moment becomes entertainment for everyone else. From public shaming and double standards to the mental health toll of viral outrage, we look at why women still bear the brunt of judgment, even when the story is more complicated.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, so we’ve put together a multi-part series of episodes to examine this debilitating disease that affects 190 million people worldwide.

As Stage 4 endometriosis survivors, your hosts Lisa and Heather know what they’re talking about — between them, they've experienced almost everything this debilitating disease has to offer.

This first episode provides a rundown on all things endo: who is at risk, diagnosis, and treatment options. In our next episode we’ll take a deeper dive into our personal endometriosis journeys.

From author Elizabeth Gilbert to podcast comedy goddess Amy Poehler, the media has been flooded lately with very smart women citing the supposed fact that single women live longer than married women. But is this true? According to current scientific and census data, not exactly. But it is true that men benefit more from marriage in almost every conceivable way than women do. We break down the numbers for you, de-bunk some commonly held misconceptions, and explore why married women end up taking on more of the domestic and emotional labor that so often comes with marriage.

Hi. We are Heather O'Neill and Lisa Breunig, hosts of Another Bloody Podcast. If you’re looking for women’s wellness content, you already have a lot of podcast options. So why listen to us?

For starters, we’re journalists. Between us, we’ve spent decades reporting and writing about complex topics—including healthcare. But we’re also patients who’ve lived through the kinds of experiences that many women quietly endure: medical gaslighting, misdiagnosis, and the minimization of our pain.

Our own health journeys include infertility, Stage 4 endometriosis, cancer diagnoses, migraines, menopause, and more. In other words, we’ve been through some things.

We started Another Bloody Podcast because we couldn’t find the kind of women’s health conversations we were looking for: ones grounded in solid research, honest storytelling, and a little humor to keep us sane.

We’re not celebrities or influencers trying to sell you supplements or jade eggs. We’re just two longtime friends—and longtime journalists—bringing our reporting instincts to the messy, complicated world of women’s healthcare.

If you join us, you’ll get to eavesdrop on candid, wide-ranging conversations about the things your doctor probably should have mentioned—but somehow didn’t.

Welcome to Another Bloody Podcast.
