The Liz Moody Podcast

I’m not sure how to feel about this. Liz is a great interviewer, but I’m listening to th episode on GLP-1s and there’s just outright disinformation littered throughout the whole episode. Osteoporosis affects men and women at the same rate? Just not true. Ballerinas have the highest rates of osteoporosis? Continuous glucose monitors are the best wearable you can buy? Research doesn’t back up these claims which is too bad, because the show seems to emphasize the reliability of experts it brings on. Take these health experts with a big grain of salt. Plus references to certain foods as being “bad” - food does not have any inherent moral value. I just feel like we should be past this at this point.

Your podcast is 100% the best of the podcasts with a host–guest dynamic I’ve listened to. You come so prepared, ask specific, not surface level questions within your guests’ expertise that we couldn’t just look up, and give them room to answer without feeling the need to add your own opinion to every point. I’ve followed you for years and really value your perspective, but knowing when to contribute and when to let the expert speak is such an underrated skill. Your follow-up questions are exactly what I’m wondering as a listener. You push back when an answer doesn’t make sense and help distill complicated information into clear, practical takeaways. It feels like you’re listening and thinking alongside us, which makes the conversation so much more valuable. That’s exactly what I want from an interview podcast. Yours is seriously the best!

Liz is a great interviewer! I have learned a lot from the episodes about relationships and general happiness topics. Liz really shines when she's interviewing academics about happiness-related topics rather than the obvious wellness quacks/grifters who make a lot of the guest roster, e.g. Mark Hyman. If you enjoy podcasts on medical topics, I recommend checking out the Ologies podcast for expert interviews where they aren't trying to sell something.

Such an intelligent and thought provoking podcast! I’ve learned so much from listening over the years and it has improved my life in countless ways! I find myself bringing up topics from the podcasts to friends and family all the time! Thank you, Liz!
