Serena Williams Comeback, Taylor Swift Wedding and Must Know New Health Studies - 1311
The Chalene Show | Pop Culture, Women's Health, & FitnessShow Notes
Serena Williams is 44, four years retired, and somehow back at Wimbledon. Everyone wants to talk about the 31 pounds she lost to get there. Chalene's got thoughts on why that's the conversation instead of her game, and a stat about who GLP-1 companies are quietly targeting next that's going to make you raise an eyebrow. (Oh, and she's recording this one from the south of France, so don't mind the church bells.) Then there's Taylor and Travis, the wedding nobody can stop speculating about, the prenup, and the conspiracy theories that have apparently convinced more people than you'd think. Chalene's not buying it, but she's got opinions on why we all can't look away. There's also a book Chalene can't put down, the hormone therapy research nobody's talking about that could be the difference between life and death for women over 40, the real story on creatine dosing, and her usual rant, this time covering QR codes, gym hogs, and the people who text "we should talk" and vanish.

🚨Questions Chalene Wants Your Thoughts on: Why do you think we're so obsessed with celebrity relationships we have zero actual stake in? Have you noticed feeling more capable, more social, or more physical after losing even a little weight, with or without a GLP-1? What's your most irrational pet peeve, the kind you'd never say out loud to the person doing it?
