  • For the Girligarchs
    2025/03/31

    In this week’s episode, we bring you a dispatch from AHAIC 2025 (Africa Health Agenda International Conference), take control of the bro-centric longevity conversation, and look into what the girligarchs are up to in the femtech space. What are the market opportunities in this billion-dollar industry? Who’s funding it? Will it impact our well-being or is this just a pink-washed cash grab? And why did it take so long to realize women are not just small men?

  • The Worried Wellthy
    2025/02/10

    On the first episode, we dive into the booming world of longevity clinics. What do they offer? What’s the hype? And why are Gen Z/millennials dropping serious cash on anti-aging? We look into the rise (and fall!) of spots like Extension Health, Hooke, Modern Age, and Forward, the recent TikTok drama around Continuum, and what the broligarchs (think: Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos) are backing. We also learn that Emily is bullish on hyperbaric oxygen tanks and that brain rot might be…fake news. Is longevity the future? Listen to find out.
