The Liz Moody Podcast

My husband Zack and I answer your most taboo, hard-to-talk-about relationship questions that you feel a little bit of shame or embarrassment talking about with your partner or person you're dating: dry spells, in-laws, prenups, work crushes, and so much more. It's really important to me to take the taboo out of these topics. I’ll share some tips or personal stories that I’ve been through that could help you guys (either in action or just to feel less alone).

This is part of a brand new series where I ask my real-life relationships to come on and weigh in on your biggest struggles. Coming up I’ll have myself and my mother-in-law talk through your trickiest mother-in-law issues, and myself and my friend with kids talk through your friendship issues when you’re in different life phases.

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• What to do when your partner is hiding their finances

• If it’s bad if you have a work crush and what that means for your relationship

• What to do when you don’t believe your partner when they say you’re beautiful

• If it’s bad if you’re not having sex and what that means for your relationship

• If asking for a prenup (from either side) is offensive

• If it’s bad if you’re not close with your in-laws

• If there actually is “the one”

Most of us want more (and better) social interactions, but being more social means more energy. Sometimes it’s easier to just stay home or not talk to someone, even though we KNOW connecting with other people is the best thing for our health and happiness. But what if you knew you’d be liked, have a good time, and a meaningful conversation?

My guest today is Dr. Nicholas Epley, one of the most respected behavioral scientists in the world. He's a professor at the University of Chicago, the author of the phenomenal new book A Little More Social, and his research has changed the scientific community.

Whether you want to know the one tool that will make you more likeable, how to go from small talk to a meaningful conversation in two questions, why people are getting so bad at asking follow up questions on dates, or why you’re probably not an introvert even if you REALLY think you are, we get into it.

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• The #1 thing people actually judge you on and how it removes the fear of social situations

• The surprising data that challenges everything you believe about your social battery

• How to organically start a meaningful conversation with two questions

• Why being an introvert might just be a story you're telling yourself

I received a podcast review that basically said because a guest talked about chronic inflammation it was a "MAHA podcast." So I decided to go straight to one of the top inflammation researchers in the world and ask him directly: is chronic inflammation actually real, or is it pseudoscience?

My guest is Dr. David Furman, the Director of Stanford Medicine's 1000 Immunomes Project (the largest longitudinal study on aging and the immune system in the world) and an Associate Professor at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, and his answer might surprise you. We play a game of Myth or Fact and bust some of the biggest inflammation claims all over the internet, from gluten and dairy to seed oils, and microplastics. We also get into how to actually test whether you're inflamed, the surprising link between chronic stress, depression, and your immune system, why your coffee habit might be doing you a favor, and exactly what to do about all of it if you have no money to spend.

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• What the best anti-inflammatory tools and habits are

• Why 80% of people over 40 are inflamed

• The surprising foods that drive inflammation

• The inflammation-stress and inflammation-depression connection

• One free thing you can do tonight to start lowering inflammation immediately

Studies mentioned in this episode:

• iAge / Thousand Immunomes Project (inflammatory aging clock, CXCL9 biomarker): Nature Aging paper via PMC / PubMed

• Chronic inflammation in the etiology of disease across the life span (Nature Medicine, 2019 — the paper linking inflammaging to major diseases)

• NLRC4 inflammasome / caffeine study (why coffee drinkers had less inflammation): Nature Medicine, 2017

• Chronic stress / caregiver glucocorticoid resistance (the cancer-caregiver study): Miller, Chen & Cole, PNAS 2012

• 2014 depression inflammation study: Mostafavi et al., Molecular Psychiatry 2014

• Kitavans tribe free from stroke and heart disease study: PubMed / PubMed
