The Liz Moody Podcast

We are diving deep into the real reasons men are not doing their part in relationships, and exactly how you can help change that. Whether you want better sex, or for him to take on more of the mental load, or you want to know if you're even with the right person, or if the relationship is worth staying in, we're going to get into that today. I sit down with Zach Brittle, one of the only couples therapists in the entire world certified in both the Gottman method and Terry Real's Relational Life therapy. His work has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Vanity Fair. Zach is so pragmatic and has really interesting advice on some of the trickiest issues out there. We also talk about what men secretly think and feel behind the scenes that they're not sharing, and we solve a ton of the real-life relationship struggles that you guys wrote in.  🎧 What you’ll learn: • How to get your needs met without nagging, criticizing, or picking a fight • How to tell if your partner can't do the work or simply won't • What men are secretly thinking and feeling but never say out loud • The one question that ends most arguments before they escalate • The 4 behaviors that predict relationship breakdown • The key sign a relationship will survive hard times Check out our NEW YouTube Channel with tons of YouTube exclusive Shorts, exclusive podcast content, and full video episodes: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LizMoodyTV⁠  Check out the previous episodes of The Liz Moody Podcast discussed today: Fighting Can Make Your Relationship Better—If You Do It THIS Way with Drs Julie & John Gottman For more from Zach Brittle: • Website: https://zachbrittle.com/  • Substack: https://zachbrittle.substack.com/  • Podcast: https://marriagetherapyradio.com/all-episodes/  Ready to uplevel every part of your life?

Even though I have friends, I still feel really lonely sometimes, and I know that's a big thing that you guys struggle with as well. You'll write to me, and you'll tell me how lonely you feel, but that you're not sure why or what to do about it. So I dove into the research around friendships and loneliness, and it turns out that there are five specific types of friends that we all need. And if you are missing even one of these friends, your brain is literally wired to feel lonely, no matter how many friends that you might have. So today, we are going to go through all of the 5 friend types, and we're going to get into exactly how to make the friends that you might be missing. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • The 5 specific types of friends every brain needs • Exactly how to find each type of friend you're missing • Why you can have a full social life and still feel lonely • How your friendships shape your sense of identity • Why "life phase" matters more than closeness • How your friends literally change your stress levels • The 1 friendship that grounds your nervous system Check out our NEW YouTube Channel with tons of YouTube exclusive Shorts, exclusive podcast content, and full video episodes: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LizMoodyTV⁠  Ready to uplevel every part of your life?

The skincare advice that we see on social media is often not the skincare advice that's going to help our skin the most. In fact, it's often the opposite. The stuff that goes viral that we're like, "Wait, this is everywhere. Should I try this?" can cause us to waste our money and sometimes wreck our skin. So today, celebrity dermatologist Dr. Sam Ellis joins me to rank skincare advice from the internet (from superior advice to advice you should ignore). Dr. Samantha Ellis is a board-certified dermatologist who has hundreds of thousands of followers online and is basically impossible to get into to see in real life, but today we get to pick her brain for free.  🎧 What you’ll learn: • The morning skincare step most people get wrong • What salmon sperm, beef tallow, and castor oil can and can't do for your skin • Whether your pillowcase, face tape, or silk sheets are actually doing anything • The "Holy Trinity" of skincare that covers 98% of your anti-aging bases • Three diet changes that genuinely support your skin backed by science • What the latest research reveals about industry-funded studies Check out our NEW YouTube Channel with tons of YouTube exclusive Shorts, exclusive podcast content, and full video episodes: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LizMoodyTV⁠  Check out the previous episode with Dr. Sam Ellis, “The Root Causes Of Hair Loss, Acne & Aging—What's Actually Worth Your Money + What's Total BS”: • Listen/watch on Spotify • Listen on Apple Check out the previous ranking advice episodes of The Liz Moody Podcast: • Ranking Fitness Advice From Social Media (with Harley Pasternak) • Ranking Gut Health Advice From Social Media (with Dr. Karan Rajan) • Therapy Advice: Ranking Best & Worst From Social Media (with Lori Gottlieb) • Money Advice: Ranking Best & Worst From Social Media (with HerFirst100K) • Healthy Eating Advice: Ranking Best & Worst From Social Media (with Nutrition By Kylie) For more from Dr. Samatha Ellis: • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsamanthaellis/?hl=en    • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/drsamellis   • Her Practice: https://potozkinellis.com/   Ready to uplevel every part of your life?

Women were left out of medical, nutrition, and exercise research for 16 years. They studied men, and then they told women we would get the same results by following the general health guidelines. In this episode, you're going to learn what the research actually says when women are the subjects. You're going to learn an easy shift to work with your hormones to get the sleep that you need, how to help your body effortlessly lose weight, what actually makes you happier and calmer, and what will help you live longer.  I’m joined by Dr. Stacy Sims who has her PhD in exercise physiology with a focus on nutrition and sex differences. She spent years in her postdoc at Stanford studying how different interventions impact men and women differently. She has devoted her life to figuring out the real science of women's health, and today she is sharing her exact playbook with you. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • Why intermittent fasting backfires for women • The workout class you may have been sweating through unnecessarily • Why your wearable could be gaslighting you • The male-data fitness myth costing women results • The truth about lifting heavy • Why calorie deficits often make women hold onto fat • Cold plunge vs. sauna: what the research says for women • The supplement that outperforms SSRIs in early research • What the birth control pill may have changed in your brain • Why you can't have it all at once in your workout  Check out our NEW YouTube Channel with tons of YouTube exclusive Shorts, exclusive podcast content, and full video episodes: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LizMoodyTV⁠  For more from Dr. Stacy Sims: • Newsletter: https://www.drstacysims.com/newsletters/articles • Website: https://www.drstacysims.com/  • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstacysims/?hl=en  Ready to uplevel every part of your life?

You've probably heard a million different time management strategies by now, but may still feel busy, exhausted, and like you don’t have time to do the things you truly love. Today, we are going to change that. I surveyed thousands of Liz Moody podcast listeners and found there are four specific time hurdles all of us run into. We're going to talk about exactly how to overcome those hurdles with pragmatic, actionable steps that work. And, here's the catch, we are not talking about time management to get more done. We are talking about time management to create a life that’s filled with joy and fun. My expert guest is Laura Vanderkam. She is a time management researcher who has studied thousands of people's real time logs, a bestselling author of multiple books, a business owner, mother of 5 kids, and she also sings in a choir every week. She has figured out how to use every hour intentionally, and she’s going to help you do the same. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • The reason time management strategies fail • The surprising truth about how long your chores, work, and obligations actually take • How to use your evenings and weekends like a mini vacation—without going anywhere • A simple weekly planning method that cuts decision fatigue and kills the Sunday scaries • Why "three times a week" is enough to build a real habit • Why "flexible" hobbies never happen—what to do instead • How to make tasks feel doable Check out our NEW YouTube Channel with tons of YouTube exclusive Shorts and, coming soon, YouTube exclusive podcast content: https://www.youtube.com/@LizMoodyTV  Check out the previous episodes of The Liz Moody Podcast discussed today: • Unlocking the Happiness Formula: How the Most Joyful People Manage Their Time With Cassie Holmes, PhD • Invisible Labor Is Damaging Your Relationships–But This 6 Minute Exercise Can Change Everything with Eve Rodsky Review the study mentioned in this episode: Happiness From Treating The Weekend Like A Vacation For more from Laura Vanderkam: • Order Her New Book, Big Time: https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324110750 • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lvanderkam  • Website: https://lauravanderkam.com/  Ready to uplevel every part of your life?

My team is on our first ever retreat this week! I wanted to practice what I preach and give everyone the chance to relax and restore in Arizona, so this week, I hand picked one of my all-time favorite episodes to share with you. If you care about feeling good, about happiness, this episode is gonna change your life—I recorded it over a year ago and I still talk about it weekly. Also, it’ll make you feel good while listening. Enjoy, and see you next week for a fresh new episode! - xo Liz You've probably heard that you should spend more time in nature, practice gratitude, or meditate—but you may not know that one single emotion underlies the benefits of all of those things. Today, we're talking about awe: what it actually is, why the science says it might be the most important emotion you're not prioritizing, and exactly how to build more of it into your life starting today. I'm joined by Dr. Dacher Keltner, professor of psychology at UC Berkeley, founder of the Greater Good Science Center, and the world's leading researcher on awe. He's also the scientist behind the emotions in Pixar's Inside Out and Inside Out 2. Over 15 years of research, Dacher has studied awe across 26 countries, gathered over 2,600 stories of awe from around the world, and built a growing body of evidence showing that this one emotion can reduce anxiety, lower inflammation, ease chronic pain, combat loneliness, and even help with PTSD, sometimes more powerfully than pharmaceuticals. The best part? You don't need a trip to the Grand Canyon to find it. Awe is closer than you think. 🎧 What you'll learn: • Why three minutes of awe a few times a week can measurably change your physical and mental health • The surprising sign that tells you you're actually experiencing awe (and how to know it's not just fear or beauty) • How the eight universal sources of awe can act as a personal compass pointing you toward your life's meaning • The one mindset shift that lets you find awe without going anywhere new • Why grief and trauma can actually be gateways to awe, and how to use that to feel better stat • The unexpected connection between awe and psychedelics (and how to get similar benefits without either) • How religion is immensely helpful for awe, and how to build a secular version • The "awe prescription" Dacher recommends based on the latest research • The micro habit that helped healthcare workers fight depression and burnout during COVID in just one minute a day Check out the previous episodes of The Liz Moody Podcast discussed today: The Secret To Happiness, From The World’s Longest Study With Dr. Robert Waldinger For more from Dacher Keltner:  • Book: Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life • Podcast: The Science of Happiness Order Liz’s book 100 Ways to Change Your Life: The Science of Leveling Up Health, Happiness, Relationships & Success now!  Connect with Liz on Instagram @lizmoody or at www.lizmoody.com.  Subscribe to the substack https://lizmoody.substack.com/welcome.

What if I told you that your brain is being hijacked constantly (and not just in the ways that you might think). There are 4 forces in modern life that are rewiring your brain RIGHT NOW. In fact, your brain is continuously rewiring itself. BUT we CAN have control over how it rewires and improve our thoughts, happiness, and overall life. So today I sit down with Dr. David Eagleman, a Stanford neuroscientist (whose work actually inspired my famous “The Novelty Rule”) to share the latest neuroscience research and translate it into practical tools you can use immediately to help you take control of your brain health and feel so much better about your technology addiction, your anxiety or depression, your concerns around AI changing our thinking, and so much more. You’ll leave feeling surprisingly optimistic with the data he shares, so get excited. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • One tiny change you can make today to wake your brain up • The surprising link between routine and cognitive decline • How to "microdose novelty" to slow down time, sharpen your brain, and build resilience • The "Ulysses Contract" trick to outsmart your phone  • A new breakthrough one-day treatment to stop past trauma from running your mind • Why AI might actually make our thinking smarter if we use it in the right way  Check out the previous episode of The Liz Moody Podcast discussed today: The Novelty Rule: How To Use My Neuroscience Hack That’s Changing Millions Of Lives For more from David Eagleman: • Website: https://eagleman.com/  • Books: https://eagleman.com/books/ • Podcast: https://eagleman.com/podcast/  Ready to uplevel every part of your life?

Ever sleep in on a Saturday and still wake up exhausted? Or finally take that vacation you’ve been dreaming about, only to come back feeling like you need another one? Or maybe you cancel all your plans to stay home and rest, and somehow end up feeling even worse. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. So I got curious (as I do) and dove into the research. Turns out, there are actually four totally different types of tired: Input Tired, Emotionally Tired, Physiologically Tired, and Existentially Tired. If we don’t know what kind of tired we’re dealing with, we end up throwing the wrong solutions at it—and then wonder why nothing actually helps. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to figure out exactly what kind of tired you are, so you can finally get the kind of rest that makes you feel energized again. Because you deserve to feel GOOD, not just a little less tired. 🎧 What you’ll learn: Why you still feel exhausted after a full night's sleep and exactly what to do about it The 4 different types of tired, plus how to identify which one you’re experiencing How to know if the type of rest you’re reaching for won’t make you feel better Research-supported fixes for each type of tired and my favorite ways to feel rested and recharged  How to re-balance your dopamine without going cold-turkey on screens Why existential exhaustion is valid and increasingly common—plus two evidence-backed antidotes A simple daily practice that makes life feel richer and more energizing To find out what type of tired you are, take the full quiz at lizmoody.com/tired. It’ll give you a more detailed breakdown and some personalized recommendations, too.

Have you ever wondered why anxiety is so hard to get rid of, even when you feel like you’re doing everything right? Maybe you’ve been meditating, breathing, journaling, and it still keeps coming up. Turns out, there's a reason for that, that I haven’t heard anyone else talk about.  Owen O'Kane is a psychotherapist, three-time Sunday Times bestselling author, and former NHS Mental Health Lead who has spent 30 years at the intersection of physical and mental health, including a decade in palliative care. In this conversation, Owen shares how anxiety is not an enemy to be defeated but a scared part of you that's desperate to be heard, and we get into exactly how to finally change your relationship with it.  🎧 What you'll learn: Why anxiety is addictive, and the psychological mechanism that makes it almost impossible to let go of, even when it feels like it’s ruining your life The reason most anxiety treatments don't fully work (and what’'s almost always missing) What "positive beliefs about worry" are and how they might be sabotaging your recovery Why anxiety can suddenly appear out of nowhere in adulthood, even if you had a seemingly normal childhood The single most important question to ask yourself if you want your relationship with anxiety to actually change Why all your breathwork, supplements, and wellness practices might be making things worse The one question Owen asks every new client before they do anything else, and why he won't move forward until they can answer it honestly If you liked this episode, check out this one: Feel Less Anxious Now: Solutions To YOUR Top Qs For more from Owen O’Kane:  Instagram: @owenokaneten Website: https://www.owenokane.com/ Addicted to Anxiety, https://read.macmillan.com/lp/addicted-to-anxiety-9781250439970/ Ready to uplevel every part of your life?

The life you want is actually on the other side of so many things you’re told NOT to do or be. How many times have you stopped yourself from sending that message, raising your hand, or asking for something because you didn't want to come off as weird or too much?

She answers all of these questions and gets into why you’re burnt out and exactly what you can do about it, no matter your situation—if you’re stuck in a job you hate, if you’re looking for a new job, if you love your job but it’s exhausting you—you’ll end this episode with pragmatic steps to feel better ASAP. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • The 3 types of burnout and how to identify which one you have • The 5-part framework for purposeful work—use it to decide if you should stay in your job or quit • How to tell if you're in the wrong career (before you waste years feeling miserable) • The hidden wounds driving your overwork—and how to stop seeking validation through achievement • Why your "zone of genius" matters more than your passion (and how to find yours in 3 steps) • The 60/40 rule: the exact ratio you need to avoid burnout  • How to spot burnout red flags during a job interview (so you never accept the wrong offer again) • The best type of vacation for actually healing burnout  • Why invisible labor is draining you—and how to stop being the "office therapist" • The one question to ask yourself on Sunday night to eliminate the Sunday scaries • How to set boundaries at work without getting fired (using the SBIS framework) • The mapping practice that regulates your nervous system in 2 minutes If you liked this episode, check out these previous episodes of The Liz Moody Podcast: • Game Plan For When You Feel Stuck, Unmotivated Or Burnt Out: Simple, Science-Backed Hacks That WORK • How To Figure Out Your Dream Career (And Actually Get It!)

I feel like everyone lately has been talking about “feeling behind in life”, so I decided to recirculate this popular episode at a time when we all truly need to hear it.  I share why so many of us feel like we’re ‘behind’—we tell ourselves we should have more money, should already own a home, or should be having babies by now. But what’s happening in our psychology to make us feel this way? And how do we fix it? I answer those questions and share science-backed insights and strategies to help you stop feeling ‘behind in life’ and start embracing where you are. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • The “gold medal syndrome”—a psychological trap that makes Olympic gold medalists still feel inadequate • The "arrival fallacy"—why getting what you want often makes you less happy • Why your messy, non-linear path is actually a key ingredient of a well-lived life • The four-step method to stop comparing yourself to everyone else's highlight reel • How to identify the invisible "shoulds" controlling your life (and break free from them) • What dying people actually regret — and why it's never about the timeline you're stressing over • The secret to finding extraordinary moments in your ordinary, everyday life Check out the previous episode of The Liz Moody Podcast discussed: The Seven-Minute Secret To Happiness That No One Is Talking About with Dr. Dacher Keltner Ready to uplevel every part of your life?

We all have that one thing we're avoiding right now. Whether it's hitting the gym, starting that side hustle, or finally getting to bed at a reasonable hour—we keep putting it off even though we know it's exactly what we need to level up our lives. And trust me, I get it, Netflix and cozy blankets are calling my name too. But here's the really exciting thing—I sat down with the absolutely brilliant Kati Morton (she's THE expert on making hard things easier, with a master's from Pepperdine University and an incredible way of breaking down complex psychology into doable steps).

Two years ago, I made a vision board and put on everything I wanted to manifest for my dream life. I’d done enough research to know that manifestation isn’t BS—it’s actually backed by some incredibly impressive neuroscience. I was ready for that science to kick in, and for my life to dramatically change—and then—it didn’t.  Because I’m a longtime journalist, I investigated why it didn’t work, and what I found SHOCKED me, so that’s what we’re getting into in this episode—the sneaky reasons manifestation might not be working the way you want it to, and exactly how to fix that so all of your greatest dreams and goals can come true.  🎧 What you’ll learn: • The three key reasons your manifesting isn't working—and how to fix each one • How to create an "action board" that's 60,000 times more effective than a vision board • The nervous system regulation technique you must do before any manifestation practice • How to use the "reverse gratitude" exercise to shift from a scarcity to an abundance mindset • The neuroscience behind why manifestation is proven to work (when done correctly) Check out the FREE “21 Days To Change Your Life Plan” we made for our listeners at LizMoody.com/January.

I used to dread doing any type of workout. I remember thinking, maybe I’m just naturally more lazy. But it turns out, we’re all wired for it—I was just approaching it all wrong. Today’s episode is going to turn you into the type of person who gets excited to move.  I’m thrilled to share this conversation with Dr. Kelly McGonigal, a Stanford professor, bestselling author, and someone who has spent decades studying the psychology and neuroscience of movement.

Today's episode is different. I’m not giving you the same BS weight loss advice you’ve heard over and over again. We're getting into the messy, nuanced questions that actually come up when you’re trying to lose weight in a way that’s healthy, shame free, and supportive of feeling the way you want to feel.  We’re talking about plateaus that seem to happen for no reason, cravings that feel out of control, hormones that complicate everything, workouts that backfire, and how to pursue weight loss without destroying your relationship with food—or yourself. And we’re doing it with someone I trust deeply to hold all of that complexity: functional registered dietitian and certified personal trainer Nicki Parlitsis, who has helped thousands of people lose weight in ways that actually last. She’s actually my personal RD and she’s helped me lose 30 pounds in a sustainable way over the course of a year, after I got some test results that served as a wake up call in my own life.  Today’s episode is going to help you create a body that feels amazing to live in. If you’ve ever felt confused, frustrated, or secretly ashamed for struggling with something that everyone online makes look easy—this episode is for you.  🎧 What you’ll learn: How to break through a weight loss plateau  The common, "minuscule" mistakes that can stall your weight loss journey Strategies to manage hunger and cut calories without feeling deprived The difference between "head hunger" and "stomach hunger" The specific lab work and health markers (e.g., A1C, cholesterol, ferritin, thyroid panel) that indicate success or could be impeding your weight loss How hormonal conditions like Hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's and PCOS can affect your metabolism Check out the previous episodes of The Liz Moody Podcast discussed today: How To Lose Weight In A Healthy Way with Nicki Parlitsis The Science Of Putting Together a Workout Routine To Hit YOUR Goals with Dr. Shannon Ritchey My Healthy Weight Loss Journey: Science-Backed, Pragmatic Action Steps That Actually Worked Mentioned in this episode: The 13 simple recipes that helped Liz lose weight in a healthy way The FREE “21 Days To Change Your Life, Week 1: Nutrition Plan” we made for our listeners at https://pages.lizmoody.com/january.

I walk you through six science-backed questions that will help you design your most aligned, grounded, and fulfilling year yet. These are the prompts I personally use to understand what’s working, what’s not, and how to move toward the version of myself I want to become. You’ll learn how to decode the patterns hiding in your best and worst days, how to use the expectancy effect to make your big dreams more achievable, why your values don’t matter unless you’re living them, and how systems (not motivation) actually determine your success. We’ll also explore the beliefs you need to leave behind in 2025, plus the neuroscience explaining why reflecting on your wins dramatically increases motivation. Whether you feel stuck, excited for a reset, or simply want 2026 to look and feel different than the year before, this is guaranteed to help.  If you want to go deeper, I created a free companion workbook + life audit at LizMoody.com/2026, to help you turn these questions into your most meaningful year yet. 🎧 What you’ll learn: How analyzing your “best” and “blah” days reveals the habits that shape your mood and energy Why your brain responds to what you believe is possible, not what’s true—and how to use this to achieve your goals The Expectancy Effect and why acting as if your success is inevitable actually rewires your brain How to identify your top three values and the wake-up-call question that reveals whether you're living them The surprising way capitalism conditions many of us to prioritize wealth over what we actually care about The Arrival Fallacy: why achievements never feel as good as the process that gets us there Why subtracting old beliefs and habits is more effective than adding more to your plate The dopamine-boosting reflection ritual that increases motivation and reminds you of how far you’ve come Check out previous Liz Moody Podcast episodes mentioned today: The Science Of Pain: Natural Ways To Manage Chronic & Acute Pain + Hidden Causes With Dr. Rachel Zoffness How To Figure Out Your Dream Career (and Actually Get It!) with Suzy Welch Proven Habits To Build Resilience: How To Handle Anything The World Throws At You with Sahil Bloom Subscribe to Liz’s Substack to download a FREE Connection Card Game: https://lizmoody.substack.com/welcome Ready to transform every part of your life?

I dive into the science of modern heterosexual relationships, and what I found shook me. Men tend to live longer and gain emotional and health support, even in low quality marriages. While women only receive these benefits in very high-quality marriages. To rebalance invisible labor and create fairer systems for women, I share tools you can use with insights I’ve gained from top experts. I also discuss the possible benefits of an unmarried life path. Whether you're single or partnered, after listening to this episode you'll leave feeling informed and empowered to create nourishing, sustainable relationships that benefit you. 🎧 What you’ll learn: The Fair Play Method for dividing household responsibilities The Time-Tracking Method for revealing hidden inequalities Why rotating career priorities reduces burnout, resentment, and wage gaps How to identify emotional over-dependence in relationships Two powerful ways for men to build emotional support systems outside their partners The 5-minute weekly check-in that can transform connection, communication, and fairness How to define what a truly good marriage looks like for you ✨ Homework: Choose one task or domain in your home—meals, laundry, scheduling, kids’ activities—and assign FULL ownership to one partner (planning, remembering, doing, follow-up). Or try the 5-minute weekly check-in with the three questions shared in the episode. Notice how shifting just one dynamic lightens your load and deepens mutual support.

Do you ever feel like you’re behind on the life you’re trying to build, despite constantly being busy? I sat down with Oliver Burkeman, one of the most influential voices on productivity and purpose, to share tools to make more time for the things that genuinely matter so you can do more of what you love to create your dream life. Oliver unpacks the psychology, sharing a radically different productivity approach: embracing your limitations, choosing what matters, and releasing the pressures holding you back. 🎧 What you’ll learn: What boredom and discomfort actually signal How to work on your dreams when you only have 10–20 minutes A grounding question to decide what’s truly worth your time How to trust yourself even if you’ve “let yourself down” before A moment-to-moment practice for choosing what life is asking of you now Why your brain clings to the fantasy of a “sorted, future version” of yourself What procrastination is really about (and why it’s not laziness) A simple tool—the Reverse Golden Rule—for becoming kinder to yourself How parenting reshaped Oliver’s relationship to time and control Why daily-ish habits work better than perfect streaks ✨ Homework: Spend 10 minutes doing something you know you want more of in your life—writing, calling someone you love, being outside, reading, creating. Not planning it, not optimizing it. Doing it. This is how change starts.
