Girls Gone Wellness
Girls Gone Wellness is the smart, sexy, science-backed wellness podcast flipping the script on everything you thought you knew about health.
If you’re doing all the “right” things like eating 'clean', taking the supplements, following the skincare routine, and still breaking out, burnt out, or just not feeling like yourself, you are not the problem. The problem is that the wellness world wasn’t built for real women, with real bodies, real stress, and real questions that deserve better than vague advice and viral trends.
Hosted by naturopathic medical grads Jeanette Titus and Victoria Gasparini, we’re cutting through the noise with no fear-mongering, and no fluff. Just real talk, real science, and real solutions.
This isn’t another influencer podcast. It’s evidence-based, unfiltered, and actually makes sense.
Welcome to Girls Gone Wellness-where wellness is hot, smart, and finally feels like it’s for you.

A Neuroscientist Explains the Female Brain (It’s Not What You Think) With Dr. Sarah McKay
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we sit down with neuroscientist Dr. Sarah McKay (also featured on Mel Robbins’ podcast) to break down what the science really says about the female brain.
We unpack some of the biggest questions women have:
Are we actually more emotional?
How different are male and female brains, really?
And how much do hormones and the menstrual cycle actually impact how we think, feel, and function?
We also get into:
- what research says about PMS, mood, and emotional changes
- how hormones influence the brain (and what they don’t do)
- the truth behind “brain fog” and “mom brain”
- how your brain is shaped not just by biology, but by your environment and life experiences
- how the brain changes across different life stages, from puberty to your 20s, pregnancy, and beyond
- when the brain actually “finishes” developing (and why it’s not as simple as you’ve been told)
This is a nuanced, evidence-based conversation that challenges a lot of common narratives around women’s brains, hormones, and mental health, in a way that’s empowering, not overwhelming.
