108:: Being in the same moment with a million strangers (the science behind the World Cup & America's 250th birthday!)
<p>Two things are happening simultaneously right now: America's 250th birthday and the World Cup on American soil. And the intersection of those two things raises a genuinely interesting health and wellness question — what does the research actually say about shared experiences across cultural lines?</p><p>In this episode Dr. Kelsy Vick brings her honest, all-angles approach to one of the most talked-about cultural moments of 2026. The science of collective sporting experiences, cross-cultural contact, social connection and longevity, team sport vs. individual sport, and 250 years of women in American sport — all covered with the complete picture, not just the highlight reel.</p><p>What you'll learn:</p><ul><li>What the research consistently supports about shared experiences and collective events</li><li>The contact hypothesis — what it says AND what it doesn't</li><li>Why the South Korean and Mexican fan moment at the World Cup is both real and more complicated than the coverage suggests</li><li>What a systematic review of 29 studies and 239,000 adults found about team sport vs. individual sport and mental health</li><li>250 years of women in American sport — the real numbers on both the progress and the gaps</li><li>Where the honest limits of the "shared experiences change you" narrative actually are</li></ul><br/><p>loving the pod? click the follow button, & we'd love if you could leave a review! thank you x 1000 :)</p><p><strong><a href="https://thesmartgirlnewspaper.beehiiv.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">sign up for the free Smart Girl Newspaper!</a></strong></p><p>insta:: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dr.kelsyvickdpt/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@dr.kelsyvickdpt</a> & <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wellnessbigsispod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@wellnessbigsispod</a></p><p>youtube:: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv-95gEXGFWKlBfOyQ0-HHw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@dr.kelsyvickdpt</a></p><p>tiktok:: <a href="mailto:https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.kelsyvickdpt" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@dr.kelsyvickdpt</a> & <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@wellnessbigsispod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@wellnessbigsispod</a></p><p></p><h3><strong>Resources</strong></h3><ul><li>Holt-Lunstad (2024) — World Psychiatry / PMC — Social connection and health</li><li><u><a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11403199/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11403199/</a></u></li><li>Eather et al.

107:: Can Ozempic help you get pregnant? A quick dive into the newest research!
<p>There's a new headline going around claiming Ozempic might help with fertility — so Dr. Kelsy Vick (board-certified Doctor of Physical Therapy) went straight to the source: the actual research presented at ENDO 2026, the Endocrine Society's annual conference.</p><p>In this episode, we break down two separate findings — one in women with PMOS (formerly known as PCOS) and one in men — and what they actually mean. Spoiler: it's not "Ozempic cures infertility." It's something more specific, more mechanistic, and honestly more interesting than the headlines suggest.</p><p>We cover the RESTORE trial out of University of Colorado Anschutz and what it found about semaglutide, weight loss, and ovulation in women with PMOS. We also cover a separate UK-based review of male fertility data — including some genuinely surprising findings about sperm quality and testosterone. Plus, the bigger pattern connecting both: why metabolic health and reproductive health are far more linked than most people realize.</p><p>This episode is educational, not medical advice. If semaglutide and fertility are relevant to your life right now, this episode is designed to help you have a smarter, more informed conversation with your provider — not to replace one.</p><p>In this episode:</p><ul><li>What ENDO 2026 actually presented on semaglutide and fertility</li><li>The connection between PMOS, insulin resistance, and ovulation</li><li>What the RESTORE trial has found so far — and what it hasn't proven yet</li><li>Surprising new data on GLP-1 medications and male fertility</li><li>Why metabolic health and reproductive health are more connected than you think</li><li>The honest caveats nobody's headline is including</li></ul><br/><p>New to PMOS? Go back and listen to our full deep-dive episode on the PCOS-to-PMOS renaming and what it means for diagnosis — linked below.</p><p>If this episode helped you make sense of the headlines, I'd love for you to leave a review — it helps another woman who needs to find this podcast.</p><p>102:: PCOS is dead.
