Fun fact about PCOS, which was mentioned in the vid, women who have that gain undesired body hair such as chin, butt, etc. My wife has PCOS. Its a chemical imbalance in some women. It also makes weight loss harder yet it is possible. My wife went from 250 to 180 by cutting out sodas and making changes in her meals.
I too have PCOS and I have also changed my diet and the way I eat and what I eat. Avoiding soy and corn syrup was a game changer for sure. I also added hibiscus drinks and a holy basil supplement which helped as well.
Controlling your diet reduces nearly all symptoms. For me, that meant only cooking at home, and lots of raw fruits and vegetables. I was even able to conceive twice by doing so. I gained nearly 70 lbs during pregnancy and lost it all and then 20 more than my prepregnancy weight through strict calorie counting but it was f-in brutal. I was breastfeeding at the time. I would get so famished I had heart palpitations from low blood sugar on occasion. But I've had a normal BMI for over a year now🙂. Super proud of myself. Nearly all my symptoms are greatly reduced as well
Scienfically we know there are 3 main types of pcos. For most it's insulin resistance based pcos, which is why diet and strength exercise along with understanding what estrogen dominance is can be so so so beneficial. But if you don't have insulin resistant pcos it becomes a whole other ball game, thankfully they are much rarer.
One of the best videos I've listened to you guys yet. Found you guys in the beginning but didn't have enough content to binge, now you do, awesome stuff guys! PS some of the newer stuff not a big fan of the amount of updating in the beginning, I usually skip some of that. Updates/personal stuff I think that's the kind of stuff should be on patreon not your best content.
I found you guys because of TikTok and I couldn't be happier. I've been watching for the last week and have already started to become more confident in talking with my boyfriend regarding all sorts of things. Thank you so much y'all.
On the subject of past trauma, I just have to get this off my chest: I visited my father the other day and was disgusted that I saw me from a few months/a year ago in the way he treated my stepmother. In other words, I have been really looking at my behavior in my relationship in comparison to the dynamic you two have. Thank you for being a positive influence on me. You both are amazing with how open you are and how well you articulate your feelings and views. Stay awesome!
30:48 SPEAK THE TRUTH CHRIS!!!!! growing up both of my parents had anger issues and when I was 6 years old that's when my severe anger issues started, and when you guys were talking about this a memory popped into my head of when I was a kid and I had a anger/autism mental down and after I calmed down my parents asked me why I act like this I said "because you guys act like this" there response was and I QUOTE "because we are adults" let's just say later in life I was hospitalized for my anger at 13. I'm more than happy to send a email talking about this topic
I've been binge watching these videos all week. I don't entirely agree with everything you guys say but I do agree with a lot of it. I always like hearing other perspectives a lot because I think its very healthy to. The advice is pretty solid for the most part.
Ok so I know I’ve been commenting a lot from this video but I’m in the process of cleaning while I listen to your podcast and I’m listening to what I was saying and y’all were talking about going out and doing things for yourself and stuff like that and I’m just sitting here thinking and I’m like wow. Y’all’s videos and your podcasts really make me sit in and like someone gets sidetracked really easily that is not easy to do. Thank you both. You guys are really getting me to think and reflect and it’s amazing.
This is so important to hear as a 21 year old woman trying to navigate and find the right people and when I find the right person, being able to satisfy them and show them the love they are supposed to be shown. You guys are amazing role models honesty and thank you for making this podcast. I love how everyone who Views this can remember what it’s like to have a healthy and happy relationship and you guys just show how easy it can really be with simple communication skills.
Seeing your TH-cam content on TikTok is what got me to find your podcast on TH-cam. I love watching your podcast! I recently got out of a toxic relationship with someone, and your podcast has helped gain a different perspective on how things were during and at the end of my relationship. This podcast is definitely helping me through my healing process, and I feel more empowered to become a better version of me. Thank you both!
1:27:11 I tend to feel badly when asking for something that I want or explaining my feelings. I didn't realize that knowing what I want makes me desirable to my partner. Thank you for this!
my best guy friend is like this...he also doesnt like asking for help or being like sweetie i havent eaten in the last week can we go get food...i tried saying let me buy you some food and he gave me the look
I am stunned, but this episode is exactly what my husband and I have recently gone through, like it was made for us to see to let us know we are on the right path via hearing another persons similar experience, kinda like the universe giving us a sign that we understood the assignment 🙌🏻
I grew up in a household with a single father who wouldn't allow us to show our feelings at all, and out of retaliation with us trying to express the feelings we were smacked in the face, back of the head, or wherever he could hit in that moment. I'm raising my daughter to show me her feelings and what's going on with her (mental, physical, emotionally) because as an adult I now find it hard to go to my husband with how I'm feeling or how to express it without blowing up in anger/ being irrational.
i was raised in a single mom household and around my grandparents but i was taught that if im feeling overwhelmed its okay to go and be by myself and calm down and im on the spectrum
I like the rocks. Please show us more.:) Edit: I just realized this is an older post. I'm finding you all on my youtube. And I enjoy your content. Keep on keeping on.
Tonight is full moon i have all my crystals in front of the window to charge. I absolutely love them. I used to have a vision bord on a app on my phone. Need to make a new one!!
Commenting on this now a year later I just want to say I'm so glad Peaches decided to stick around on TikTok because that's how I found you guys. Thank you so much for what you do!
I absolutely love y’all’s content and everything is a growth process so I am always open to hear and learn new things and hear different opinions. Much love keep doing what you do 😊
I'e been put on and off Zoloft through 3/4 of my pregnancies to prevent postpartume, it 100% made me worse. Doctors just prescribe whatever. I much prefer eating higher protein, plenty of fiber, drinking hot tea, and using plant medicine. I feel 100% better than I did when i took zoloft. It's also a mindset shift. Newton' First Law of Motion: A body will remain at rest until a force is applied upon it. YOU have to apply the force to yourself to keep moving and growing.
I would love for you both to get Laura dowls (don't know if I wright it wrong) on your podcast. You deserve all the best for all the hard work you do!!
I am loving seeing your rocks/ crystals!! Every time I think you can’t be more awesome, you do it again! 😁 (I think the white ish ones are Selenite) Thank you both for all the hard work you put in to be better! Loving your work ❤
That initial convo about book vs video had me the MOST triggered y’all have ever had me feeling. Opened a WHOLE door for me. Also very thankful, though😮💨
love you guys! so glad you guys were led to make a youtube channel and make yourselves exposed to the world! Even tho it brings a magnifying glass to your lives for everyone to criticize, im so glad to get to know you two thru this channel! im hoping to become a patron on soon!
I know this is an old video. But ive been cathing up on everything i miss. I love the fact you love rocks peaches. It helps me not feel so weird. Im single but the amount of tools yall have givin me makes me feel im becomeing the woman for the man i want
I’m currently gathering magazines to make a vision board…I could have just printed stuff, huh? Whoops! Lol. I also have a collection of “rocks” aka crystals.
I just want all the comfy clothes Peaches wears. Also, I usually listen to these while doing things, but I watched this one and I couldn't stop maintaining eye contact to make sure I was listening 🤣 I love this podcast, you guys are amazing and I'm so grateful for what you share with us.
Wish we (my lady and I) had friends to share with but in the time we have we will like and comment. I have to say I love the self reflex that you both allow me to have due to having both perspectives. We love you guys. Keep Grinding.
I actually think smut books are worse than porn because the books take it to another level. In which they also create an unrealistic expectation of love and that men are supposed to just know what a women wants.
I've never looked at it like that , but you maybe right . Smut books are about both life and sex alot of the time therefore give false expectations on both while porn is sex ...think I need to do more research into smut books . I am very anti porn It has caused huge damage to society. Would be interested to hear @2bebetter opinion on this , broaden my thoughts , thank you
there is a difference between Nora Roberts/J.D Robb novels and 50 shades of grey, because 50 shades gives a unrealistic view of the lifestyle and sex and Nora roberts does not
depending on what time he gets off work...because i did the 12 hour shifts 6ish days a week and i was going in at 7pm and getting off at 7am monday night to sunday morning and id get sunday 'off' i did that for 7.5 years and since ive done that i wont go back to it
im currently listening as i ask this but dont want to forget my question...so Chris u mentioned u know alot about hormones and idk if it was this episode or the one before cuz i am listening to yalls podcast while at work on my 12 hr shifts..i have a thyroid condition called hashimoto disease its an autoimmune disorder and i tried taking meds for it and it gave me hives..i havent gone back to get a different medication but yall mentioned plant medicine...is there anything for thyroid that yall know of? i do belive it also is affecting my hormones aswell but i will eventually get aroumd to sending an indepth email on one of yalls platforms 🐱
My best friend and I, both 40 with husbands and kids, try to make a plan to have lunch at least once a week. There's weeks where we aren't able to but we try. We text occasionally and when my husband is home (he works on a boat 21 days and home 21 days) we have at least 1 couples date night. The best of friends don't have to talk and hang out every single day.
I was on panel and something else for my suicide. It completely changed my personality. I hated being on the medication. Medication does alter you and honestly it sucked. My parents saw my whole personality disappear
Question, I realize there are a lot of different smut books out there, and that maybe these are just the books I go for... but I feel as though smut books are fantasy versions of the traditional marriage/lifestyle. And when I say fantasy I mean in the sense of faeries, and kingdoms, etc. But, the general gist is he's the big strong protector who cherishes HIS women and she is just as protective of HER man. For me, that's what makes them great, that's the fantasy I would like to see come to life. In real life, a man won't be welding magic to protect me from the big bad, but he can wait outside a transit bathroom for me, walk me to the car, and open my door. And as a woman who knows this is what I want, a good man who cherishes me, I know when I find that I will have to cherish him; because these days that's one in a million. So, I guess my question is, is it so bad to be reading smut? Or is it not bringing these storylines and desires to your partner so that together you can bring them to life in your own relationship?
I love how the issue is the 7 year old regulating emotions and lashing out with anger, when the emotional response by the parent is lashing out and not regulating their own emotions. First: kids brains don't fully develop until about 28yrs old. Second, their brain literally functions different where the impulsive part of their brain is highly overactive and the logical thinking part is almost dormant until later years in life. It's almost impossible for a child to think logically because of the way their brains develop. What's the mom's excuse for her behavior? She needs to learn to regulate herself before expecting a 7 year old to do so. Parents have the most unrealistic expectations sometimes when they themselves struggle with the exact thing they expect their kids to be able to do. Leading by example is the first step. Anyway.. idk. Just gets under my skin when children are held to such high emotional standards.
Side note: I am not a gentle parent. But I am a fair one. And I put the effort into learning where they are at what stage of their lives and I act and expect accordingly.
As DID is something very close to my heart. I have some insight on why the s3x conversation might be something the first wife is uncomfortable. Extreme trauma in children under the age of six is the only cause for DID. More than likely this woman was severely SA'd by a close family member....
I think when you said Polygamy that you meant to say Polyamory. They are different things completely when it comes to relationships. I'd love to help y'all do emails and use my education to analyze behavior.
Sounds like to me that S.O. wants the partner to put her above her kids if shes getting upset how shes reacting to everything. The "what about me" attitude is a self absored reaction. She cannot continue to play referee if the S.O. is continously upset over her reactions to how she has to step in. Like she wants her to make her top priority. 🚩🚩🚩 Partnership is just that. Help her dont put her in a certain position to choose coz you'll lose. Her kids will or should come 1st...no ifs ands or buts about it.
Oh wow OK so you were just talking about the time where you guys had been talking about how if y’all ever getting into it or she’s upset about something and you go to touch her she doesn’t tell you not to, she just let it happen. That conversation made me literally say out loud. Wow, because I grew up in a family where physical affection was Weaponized as way to end conflict. so whenever I get upset and my man goes to hug me or kiss me I reject it because I feel like it’s him trying to manipulate the situation when in reality he’s doing it because it actually does help me calm down most of the time and that’s his way of doing it because physical touch is my love language and I feel like I’m being manipulated like he does it because it works and I’ve gotten better about it for the most part but yeah that’s definitely an issue I have is feeling like he’s manipulating the situation that’s really not what it is. I apologize because I did use voice to text to write this comment so if there are any grammatical errors, I apologize
Ok so I JUST thought of this. For the weirdness around talking about sex. Buy a journal and write down what you like and want. Completely unfiltered. Go over it, get more comfortable accepting what you like and then gradually work your way to being able to talk about it with you partner. I definitely get the awkwardness around it as someone who was raised in a family where sex was considered taboo and not ok to talk about. Ever. Sex is demonized a lot by parents and made to seem like something to be ashamed of. Even to your partner.
I have a problem with normal conversation on text because you can read something as angry when i ment it neutral. That's why I use emoticons as much i can so if i end a sentence with a 😊🤗☺️ you know I mean it happy or good. Because miscommunication happens really fast without it
i have seriously started calling my s.o every night i work bc i have issuses with texting him and i know he appreciates it bc i can here him say k love you buh-bye when we get off the phone
I think cohersion is more when a man starts to manipulate you (guilt trips, etc) into having sex so you "give in" and have sex. Changing your mindset with lingerie or initiating other types of intimacy to engage into further intimacy is one thing, but "if you dont have sex with me im going to go get it elsewhere" is cohersion.
omg yes! its one thing to dress sensually for your partner than it is to have them force you into it when your in an innapropriate place bc they want it
Romantic novels are definitely not the same as porn. Nobody is exploiting minors or having their brains altered by a little smut. And if anyone thinks either of those forms of media are the first they should use to build expectations for future relationships or are using them in place of current relationships are not very smart.
You showing your rocks absolutely made me so happy

PEACHES I LOVE YOUR BOX AND YOUR THINGS!!! Your crystals are amazing lol thank you for sharing
I like the rocks. Please show us more.:)
Edit: I just realized this is an older post. I'm finding you all on my youtube. And I enjoy your content. Keep on keeping on.
I'm a Libertarian, too! Love that part of your content the most. We need a movement.
I also think the government run public schools suck! Preach.
Tonight is full moon i have all my crystals in front of the window to charge. I absolutely love them.
I used to have a vision bord on a app on my phone. Need to make a new one!!
I absolutely love the emotional support rocks! I carry a few with me everyday in my lunch box because they just make me happy ❤
I, too, LOVE my man in his USMC PT shorts. Throw in the boots and LAWDDDD. *drools*
Commenting on this now a year later I just want to say I'm so glad Peaches decided to stick around on TikTok because that's how I found you guys. Thank you so much for what you do!
Prosaic? That made me a walking zombie, granted I was a kid when my Dr gave it to me in the late 90s early 2000s.
I absolutely love y’all’s content and everything is a growth process so I am always open to hear and learn new things and hear different opinions. Much love keep doing what you do 😊
I'e been put on and off Zoloft through 3/4 of my pregnancies to prevent postpartume, it 100% made me worse.
Doctors just prescribe whatever. I much prefer eating higher protein, plenty of fiber, drinking hot tea, and using plant medicine. I feel 100% better than I did when i took zoloft.
It's also a mindset shift.

I would love for you both to get Laura dowls (don't know if I wright it wrong) on your podcast. You deserve all the best for all the hard work you do!!

I've never made a vision board, I've thought about it though
It’s helpful when you’re trying to work for a goal. Seeing it daily reminds you
i have my 'vision board' as my laptop desktop one of which reminds to stay hydrated
Wait... peaches went back to work?
I love the rock show, it's adorable lol and interesting
I just want to point out ED and Libido are two different things. Libido = DRIVE/INTEREST, ED = Function... this really needs be corrected in society.
I think when you said Polygamy that you meant to say Polyamory. They are different things completely when it comes to relationships. I'd love to help y'all do emails and use my education to analyze behavior.
polyamory is more men or reverse harem and polygamy is more women
Sounds like to me that S.O. wants the partner to put her above her kids if shes getting upset how shes reacting to everything. The "what about me" attitude is a self absored reaction.

Oh wow OK so you were just talking about the time where you guys had been talking about how if y’all ever getting into it or she’s upset about something and you go to touch her she doesn’t tell you not to, she just let it happen. That conversation made me literally say out loud. Wow, because I grew up in a family where physical affection was Weaponized as way to end conflict. so whenever I get upset and my man goes to hug me or kiss me I reject it because I feel like it’s him trying to manipulate the situation when in reality he’s doing it because it actually does help me calm down most of the time and that’s his way of doing it because physical touch is my love language and I feel like I’m being manipulated like he does it because it works and I’ve gotten better about it for the most part but yeah that’s definitely an issue I have is feeling like he’s manipulating the situation that’s really not what it is. I apologize because I did use voice to text to write this comment so if there are any grammatical errors, I apologize
Ok so I JUST thought of this. For the weirdness around talking about sex. Buy a journal and write down what you like and want. Completely unfiltered. Go over it, get more comfortable accepting what you like and then gradually work your way to being able to talk about it with you partner. I definitely get the awkwardness around it as someone who was raised in a family where sex was considered taboo and not ok to talk about. Ever. Sex is demonized a lot by parents and made to seem like something to be ashamed of. Even to your partner.
I have a problem with normal conversation on text because you can read something as angry when i ment it neutral. That's why I use emoticons as much i can so if i end a sentence with a 😊🤗☺️ you know I mean it happy or good. Because miscommunication happens really fast without it
i have seriously started calling my s.o every night i work bc i have issuses with texting him and i know he appreciates it bc i can here him say k love you buh-bye when we get off the phone
I think cohersion is more when a man starts to manipulate you (guilt trips, etc) into having sex so you "give in" and have sex.
Changing your mindset with lingerie or initiating other types of intimacy to engage into further intimacy is one thing, but "if you dont have sex with me im going to go get it elsewhere" is cohersion.
omg yes! its one thing to dress sensually for your partner than it is to have them force you into it when your in an innapropriate place bc they want it
I love rocks 💜
Wow, deep stuff!

Romantic novels are definitely not the same as porn. Nobody is exploiting minors or having their brains altered by a little smut. And if anyone thinks either of those forms of media are the first they should use to build expectations for future relationships or are using them in place of current relationships are not very smart.
How about calling it your mantra 🕉️
I would literally sit with you and just go through rock collections 😭💜🫶🏼
