00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve Camray.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to stump Mom never told

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: you from house top boards dot com. Hello, and welcome

4
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: to the podcast. This is spelling, and I'm Kristen. Kristen.

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: If I were to offer you the choice between two

6
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: delicious food yes, an orange or a bowl of cottage cheese,

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: you said delicious food, Sarah, people who find both things

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: very delicious. Which one will you take? I would absolutely

9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: choose the orange. Every now and then, when I'm grocery shopping,

10
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm in the dairy section and I have this notion,

11
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: this little voice in my head that pops up and says, hey, Kristen,

12
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: you know what you haven't eat in a while? And

13
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: I say what, voice in my head? And the voice

14
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: in my head responds cottage cheese. And so I get

15
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: some cottage cheesecause I think it's a good idea that

16
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: somehow I'm going to eat the cottage cheese. It's one time.

17
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: Is gonna be so good because I've seen people enjoy

18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: cottage cheese. This is a good source of protein. Never happens,

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: it's always a fail. So I would take the orange. Well, Kristen,

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: if you would listen more closely to my question, I

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: did not offer you those two foods to eat. I'm

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: talking about what they're gonna look like on your skin. Okay.

23
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: That brings us to the topic of the day, which

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: is cellulite. And cellulite is often compared to an orange peel,

25
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: those little, you know, bumps, bumpy orange peel, or it's

26
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: compared to cottage cheese those you know, bigger bumps and

27
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: chunks and dimples, bumps and chunks and uh so, yeah,

28
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: if you replay you, I was very careful not to

29
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: offer them to you to eat, but for your skin.

30
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: But apparently I just assumed that it is there before

31
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: the questions I do ask you about our things we're

32
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: going to eat. Yeah, there is a This is coming

33
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: from a cellulite scale that was published in the Journal

34
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: of the European Academy of Dermatology in vinero Ology, and

35
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: the scale breaks down cellulite severity by five different measures.

36
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, on one end, the mild and you've got

37
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: the orange peel. So you made the right choice. It

38
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: was going to be on your skin. Yeah yeah, So

39
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: on the one end you've got the orange peel. But

40
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: on the worst end is when quote, you're behind looks

41
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: like a quilted mattress, because yeah, it's just bumps everywhere. Yeah,

42
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: enormous bumps of cellulite. And Kristen, if you had said,

43
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: I don't want either the orange or the cottage cheese,

44
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: that would have been a false choice because every woman,

45
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: pretty much, I think it's what Well, it's okay, well

46
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: close enough, close enough of women are going to develop

47
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: cellulite after puberty at some point in their life, so

48
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: it's just for for the great majority of us ladies,

49
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: it is inevitable. It's so common, in fact, that some

50
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: dermatologists consider it a secondary sex characteristic for women. Yeah.

51
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: If you just had a body lying there and you

52
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: see that tell tale orange peel, yeah, be like that's

53
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: a woman, that's a woman. Yes, that's cellulite. Uh. And

54
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: in fact, not surprised here, Molly. We've got estrogen to

55
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: thank for cellulite, because estrogen triggers women's bodies to store

56
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: extra fat for pregnancy, and this extra fat is the

57
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: source of cellulite. But when it comes to why cellulite

58
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: looks the way it does on the skin, why it

59
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: does have that unpleasant dimpled appearance. There are some conflicting

60
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: theories about why that is. Yeah, there's three big theories

61
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: as to why uh cellulite looks the way it does.

62
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: One is because of the blood vessels that are underneath

63
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: the skin. Basically, if your blood isn't flowing through your

64
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: vessels properly, then cellulate could be created because those samples

65
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: are going to appear when the fat presses up against

66
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: a blood vessel that can't fight back. Essentially, that's not

67
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: having enough blood flow to push back against that fat.

68
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: Another theory would say it's the white blood cells and

69
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: the people with cellulite have chronically inflamed white blood cells,

70
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: which cause the scanduloose strength and then also gives that

71
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: cellulite room to kind of bulge because it's it means,

72
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: like you said, its pockets of fat beneath the skin.

73
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: But then the third and most prominent theory about cellulite

74
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: boils down to differences between men's and women's connective tissues.

75
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: And this is pretty fascinating, and you're gonna have to

76
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna try and paint a word picture and it

77
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: will be a little hard to follow along without a visual.

78
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: But here goes. Let's let's pretend we're looking at a

79
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: cross section of the skin. Okay, at the bottom, we've

80
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: got muscle, all that stuff that's beneath the skin. At

81
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: the top, we have your actual skin. And in between

82
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: is the connective tissue, the thing that's connecting your skin

83
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: to everything else that's inside your body. Now, men have

84
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: what looks like a mesh net on that cross section.

85
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: I mean, if you just picture like a basketball hoop

86
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: or fishing net, it's all crisscrossed. There's all these ways, uh,

87
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: lots of x is. Women's connective tissue, on the other hand,

88
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: is shaped like vertical columns. So you have these wider

89
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: gaps in between the connective tissue. And so the theory

90
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: is that we have all the cellulite because fat cells

91
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: will push up in between those columns of connective tissue

92
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: and push against the skin, creating the dimpled appearance. Yeah.

93
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: I mean, if you were trying to keep something out, uh,

94
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: and in this case, it's fat that pushes up against

95
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: your skin, which you rather have a mesh netting as

96
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: your connective tissue? Would you rather have these columns that

97
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: are perpendicular to your skin? I mean, it's a straight

98
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: it's a straight shot up. So as soon as that

99
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: fat starts heading up your your two vehicle columns, it

100
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: can just go right up against the skin and create

101
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: a dimple. And women also have thinner skin than men,

102
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: so if once that fat does get up into that

103
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: connective tissue, it's easier to see on a woman than

104
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: it is a man. So now that we have firmly

105
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: established that almost all women get cellulite and be it

106
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: is a distinct difference between our you know, the way

107
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: our skin works and men's skin questions, can we get

108
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: rid of it? Because women spent in two thousand and

109
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: eight forty seven million dollars on cellulite reduction products. And

110
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: how many times, Molly, have we opened up a magazine

111
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: claiming to hold the secret to cellulite reduction just in

112
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: time for swimsuits season, Because a lot of times it's

113
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: going to collect around our buttocks, thighs hips, and lower abdomen.

114
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: So the question is are we wasting millions tens of

115
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: millions of dollars on all these products? You might very

116
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: well be, Kristen, I'm just gonna go ahead and give

117
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,119
Speaker 1: it away. Now that of that forty seven million spent.

118
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: The same woman who spent that money only reported a

119
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: to improvement in the appearance of their cellulite, and it

120
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: was not a permanent improvement. Basically, some of these products,

121
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: the second you stop using them, the second the cellulite

122
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,239
Speaker 1: will reappear. So let's talk about some of the options

123
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: out there and which ones might give you at least

124
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: that temporary improvement that maybe you do want for a

125
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: special occasion or something. Well, first off, we have something

126
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: called endermology a k A cellulite massage, and it's sort

127
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: of like a deep tissue massage that's meant to stimulate

128
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: blood flow and supposedly remove unhealthy white blood cells. And

129
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: this would be supposed to work according to that blood

130
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: vessel theory of cellulite that Molly talked about earlier, Right

131
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: if if it in fact your blood isn't flowing correctly,

132
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: then a massage would get that blood going. And but

133
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: what really is happening. It's just it's kind of plumping

134
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: up your skin, and when it puffs up the skin,

135
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: then it hides the cellulite temporarily. Then you also have

136
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: laser treatments. Yeah, you have these infrared lasers that are

137
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: supposed to target the cellulite fat cells and actually melt

138
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: them away. And a lot these treatments will cause some

139
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: bruising immediately afterwards, and again results are only temporary, right,

140
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,679
Speaker 1: some of these treatments, they say that the side effects

141
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: are worse than you know, cellulite. If you can learn

142
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: to love a cellulite a little better, it's better that

143
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: than the bruising. Now, I'm like, what about LiPo section.

144
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: If we just go ahead and get rid of those

145
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: fat cells to begin with, will that take care of

146
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: the problem. Oh my no, Kristen. In fact, I was

147
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: reading one article that said LiPo section is the exact

148
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: opposite of what you should do for cellulite. I mean

149
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: it seems intuitive. I mean, if it's fat that's pushing

150
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: up against your skin, then you would seem like just

151
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: taking the fat out, yes, would work, But it can't

152
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: target the cellulit directly. You can't predict how the fat's

153
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: going to come out. And some people, when you take

154
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: out the fat, it only uh increases the appearance of

155
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: that cellulite. So LiPo sections out, lasers are out, endermology

156
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: is out. How about all of these topical treatments that

157
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: we have. I mean I've seen so many quote unquote

158
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: cellulate you know, removing creams that contain things like retinoids,

159
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: lactic acids, and caffeine that are supposed to strengthen the skin,

160
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: shrink cellulite fat and build collagen and elastin two, gird

161
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: up that connective tissue. And these creams Christen, are the

162
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: kinds of things that can provide that temporary effect. I

163
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: mean some of those lotions, for example, that have caffeine

164
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: in them, Yes, that can stimulate the skin. It kind

165
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: of irritates it actually, and again it just makes it

166
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: puffy so that the cellulite itself is hidden. But the

167
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: second you stop using the lotion, that effects going to

168
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: go away. And something to keep in mind when you're,

169
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, weighing whether to buy into a cellulite treatment

170
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: is that if this connective tissue theory is true, is

171
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: the correct one, any treatment is going to have to

172
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: essentially change the structure of our connective tissue which is

173
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: under our skin, and no lotion can penetrate that deeply

174
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: into our skin to change that makeup. So it's kind of, uh,

175
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: it would kind of have to be an involved treatment,

176
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: uh to to really work. So it really, it seems

177
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: like with all these temporary treatments, what they do, if

178
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: they actually lessen the appearance of cellulite, is they cause

179
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: tissues to swell up and irritate the skin so that

180
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: it puffs up so much that it hides the dimples.

181
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: Even with things like dry brushing. There those cellulite brushes

182
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: that you can get, same thing. It's just irritating, yeah,

183
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: irritating and puffing things up. Um. There's also an old

184
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: remedy that consists of mixing warm coffee grounds with olive

185
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: oil and then wrapping the mixture around your legs with

186
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,119
Speaker 1: plastic wrap. I guess to get the get that caffeine injection,

187
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: and get the skin all puffed up. So again it's

188
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: just it's just puffing up the skin. You're not actually

189
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: getting rid of cellulite. And again and again with all

190
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: these sources, when they talk to dermatologists, they say there

191
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: is no clear cut cure for cellulite. So if you're

192
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: spending a lot of money that you don't have trying

193
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: to get something to work, you know, this doesn't have

194
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: to be a necessary expense in your budget. It might

195
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: be kind of nice just to realize that if women

196
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: have this. You're not the only person walking around with cellulite,

197
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: no matter how egregious it seems to you. You are

198
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: not alone out there with your dimply skin. But one

199
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: less thing that we haven't touched on that I was

200
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: wondering about in terms of reducing the appearance of cellulite,

201
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: it's what about just plain old fashion exercise and healthier diet.

202
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: That It's a very good point, Kristen, because I mean,

203
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: to some excent, it makes sense that if we do

204
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: things that rid the fat from our body, then the

205
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: fat that's underneath our skin would disappear. But you can't

206
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: target this, this cellulite specifically. I mean, yes, we should

207
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: all be exercising, we should all be eating, eating healthfully,

208
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: just for our own health. And for some women it

209
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: is true that when they exercise, their cellulate goes away.

210
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: But cellulite, we gotta remember, affects skinny women, it affects

211
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: overweight women. So it's not some magic number on the

212
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: scale that will get us cellulite free either. In fact,

213
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: just to demonstrate these kind of individual differences with cellulite

214
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: and weight loss, there was a recent study published in

215
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: the Journal of American Society of plastic surgeons that found

216
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: that while weight loss for a lot of overweight women

217
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: did reduce the severity of cellulite, it actually exacerbated the

218
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: look of cellulite in some of the women in the study.

219
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: So it's kind of a crap shoot, the cellulate crap shoot.

220
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I hate to end it on such a

221
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: bummer of a note, but it's true. There is no

222
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: long lasting way to get rid of it. It's something

223
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: that we might just have to come two terms with

224
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 1: and accept and maybe one day science will catch up

225
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: to our our lady fears, and in the meantime, let's

226
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: just embrace the sisterhood of cellulate you know, it's one

227
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: thing that men don't have, like our our breast nerv vagina,

228
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: So maybe it's to have roast to embrace cellulite to

229
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: Although I will say a very few select group of

230
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: men can have cellulite, particularly if they're androgen deficient men

231
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: who might be going through that mail menopause. I've discussed before.

232
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: Sometimes that hormone build up can cause the appearance of cellulite.

233
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: So I don't want to leave all the men out completely.

234
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: That's very okay. We'll let them into our sisterhood. In

235
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: the meantime, if you would like to send us your

Speaker 1: can leave a comment on our Facebook page. So let's

239
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: read a couple of emails right now. Well, Chris and

240
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: I have one here from Mary, and it's about our

241
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: Halloween costume podcast. Mary writes, as a full figure girl,

242
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: I always hated planning on what I was going to

243
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: be for Halloween because I knew anything I would like

244
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't come in my size. So in true tradition, I

245
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: waited until the day of my friend's Halloween party to

246
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: get my costume. I was listening to your podcast while

247
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: searching for my lame kitten ears when I heard your

248
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: suggestion of a sexy suffragette. I just loved the idea

249
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: so much that I ran to my local craft store

250
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: to buy a straw hat and ribbon. Almost everyone at

251
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: the party got that I was a suffragette, and once

252
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: I point out that my risks an angle were exposed,

253
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: it made me a sexy suffragette. Also, surprisingly, every girl

254
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: at the party knew the song Sister Suffragette from Mary Poppins,

255
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: and I have to say that is my favorite song

256
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: from that movie Six Sister Suffragette. So thanks Mary, glad

257
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: we could help. Well. I've got an email here from

258
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: Aaron and this is in regard to our Lady Killers podcast,

259
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: and Aaron writes, in my third year of law school,

260
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: I took my rigorous writing course on law and psychology.

261
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: I've always been intrigued by the stories of women who

262
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: killed their children, and because I was about five months

263
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: pregnant with my first child, I chose that as a

264
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: topic of my paper. Researching and writing the paper takes

265
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: an entire semester, so as my research progressed, so did

266
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: my pregnancy. I was about eight months along and showing

267
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: quite a bit when my professor stopped me one evening

268
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: after class. She informed me that another student at the

269
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: school had alerted the dean that a fairly pregnant woman

270
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: was reading a book entitled Women Who Kill their Children

271
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: in the student lounge. My professor assured the dean that

272
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: I was merely researching my paper topic and that I

273
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: had no intentions of harming my eagerly anticipated first child.

274
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: After that, I researched my topic only while at home.

275
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: I love that story. Thank you so much for sharing,

276
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,400
