The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.

Welcome to Rant Therapy, a podcast short powered by the hosts of the Happy Eating podcast, Brierley Horton and Carolyn Williams, where we periodically share our real-life venting sessions with each other—AKA what we’re “so over”.

If you hear the word peptide and wonder what we’re talking about, let us reassure you: You probably already know what a peptide is. But the ways you can use, or benefit from, peptides is increasingly diverse. In today’s episode, we’re focusing on so-called therapeutic peptides. They’re touted as boosting lean muscle mass, supporting your gut microbiome, alleviating joint pain, decreasing inflammation, and more. In fact, the booming peptide industry has been described as the Wild West of Wellness. So, what are peptides? How are they used? What are some of the most common ones? We answer all of those questions. Let’s dive in.

For some of us, when life feels a little uncertain, leaning into astrology may help us regain a sense of purpose and control. And lately, I’ve needed that. So if you’re like me, and you too have been curious about what’s in store for 2026, then this episode is for you. We reached out to our favorite astrologer, Valerie Mesa, who is also the go-to astrologer for People Magazine. She walks us through each zodiac sign, starting with Aries and ending with Pisces, and shares what each sign can expect this year. Let’s dive in!

The newest edition of the Dietary Guidelines dropped earlier this month—and if your news feed looks anything like ours, you’ve probably seen a lot of hot takes already. But what’s worth your attention, and what can you safely scroll past? In today’s episode, we break it all down from a dietitian’s perspective: what we love about the new guidelines, what surprised us, what doesn’t quite add up, and—most importantly—what changes you should make at home. Consider this episode your clear and practical guide to the latest Dietary Guidelines. Let’s dive in!
