I have never felt so validated by someone before. feeling intelligent enough to see the evil but knowing you are powerless in the grand scheme of things, that "funny feeling". the new and fleeting obsessions, the giving your all and for caring for a man who you dont even like and does nothing for you, the seasonal depression and the seemingly stupidity of it; i appreciate you a lot!

just wanted to say something about you talking about women’s health. i stopped having my period almost two years ago and months go by and i get sicker. turns out i had a lot of tumors and cancer growing throughout my body. when you talked about who “i don’t want children but what if i do one day?” i started to cry because im so young and that option was taken away from me before i could even truly decide what i wanted in my future. but then as i’m crying like a baby over a simple comment you made you told the joke about wrapping up the tubes like a hose on the wall. you make me so happy when i’m in dark places, and i know you’re a normal (debatable) human being, but i want to thank you so much. i hope that everything went well with your doctors appointment and good luck and good energy💖💖💖

“I feel fat when I have oily hair” thank you for putting the words out there for me

I am so glad that out of everyone, Britney’s voice was uplifted to a famous level. She is genuinely so smart and humbled. By far the best.

I am by no means a dr. But I do study medical science and also last year got diagnosed with PCOS. I had scarily long gaps between periods too and that was my main concern cause it was sending me into a coma worrying every month about whether I was just late on my period or whether I was pregnant. When I went to the dr they did a blood test for me as well and found Vitamin D deficiency too! Other symptoms of PCOS include but aren't limited to hirsutism, weight gain, insulin resistance, alopecia and skin issues as well as mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. In the country where I live only 2/3 criteria is required for a diagnosis of PCOS but for you, you may need an ultrasound to confirm. Regardless, the main "treatment" is weight loss. Which is obviously harder when you have PCOS. Common medications are weight loss drugs and diabetes management drugs. What I have found helps the most is a better diet and regular exercise. Obviously I could be totally wrong about what you are going through but I hope this helps! ❤

I don't think any of us have a regular cycle honestly. No worries Broski! If you get nervous go see your OB, but I wouldn't stress. love Erica

Go to the obgyn and get checked for PCOS. I didn’t get a period for three months and my hormones were so out of balance…ended up being pcos after they found polyps on my ovaries through the vaginal ultrasound. So many woman struggle with PCOS systems without even knowing.

A lot of what you're describing reminds me of my PCOS diagnosis. For some reason getting diagnosed wasn't scary for me at all because all of the symptoms I was having just seemed "normal" to me so finding out there was a name for it didn't really change much. And now that I know I have it, I've been able to manage my symptoms much better and am feeling significantly better! For anyone worried about it affecting your fertility, my ob/gyn told me that she has it and she got pregnant even while on birth control (Which was horrifying for someone who gets a lot of anxiety from the idea of getting pregnant, haha)

I also hope that women (ESPECIALLY) understand that sometimes doctors get it wrong! Brittany ended up being diagnosed with something that was completely unrelated to vitamins.

I had a really fun, chic, trendy mental breakdown yesterday and I gotta say - screaming at roach pussay for putting fragrance in facial products is the cathartic content I needed today.

I appreciate how you take lyrics you’re passionate about and read them in your slam poetry voice, despite the different vibes of the different songs, you said THESE WORDS WILL BE HEARD !

This is the first pod I hear from you and I was really having a blast at the beginning while you were screaming at the microphone, but at the middle got really dark and I had to stop doing my things to listen you, and the end you were like, "anyways lol, Sam Fender" You're amazing Brittany, I really appreciate anyone talking about the man-made horrors, and somehow find the way to laugh at them

The way we've already moved on to a different white boy of the month since this was filmed is both incredible and terrifying

THE VITAMIN D IS SO RELATABLE! Had me sleeping 15 hours a day, losing weight rapidly, could barely stand up for 10 minutes. Thought I was dying, went to the urgent care “nothing wrong”, took the results to me regular doc, cried to her and begged for a test of any kind, she ran a more comprehensive blood panel and the ONLY thing wrong with me was extremely low vitamin D.

You don’t know how deprived of broskiness I felt last week. I felt weak, frail, lifeless. But I woke up to this and was brought back to life 🙏🏼 this is my vitamin D

Talking about your period is so helpful and important. My biggest fear is getting pregnant and I have no knowledge about periods because they're so taboo. I never considered the fact that nutrient deficiency can mess with your period and hormones. That information saves me soooo much stress because my tubes are removed and I cannot get pregnant but I still get worried when my period is late. We need more people openly talking about these things.

I love your sense of humor, during my darkest most depressed days you cheer me up. I love you. You are beautiful.♥️

Brittany omg im so relieved you posted this bc I relate to this so much. The same thing has happened to me a year ago. I was severely depressed and malnourished to the point where my entire skin literally was falling off and I hydrated it with la Roche it’s the worst thing ever. But on April i went to a dermatologist who helped me tons, im taking meds every day and literally use vaseline on my face and normal body cream on my body. Please take care of your body now early on otherwise it will have VERY bad side effects. Also it fucks up with your hormones and your mental health horribly during the time so pls take care x

Soooo many things mess with our menstrual cycles. If you stop bleeding for months it can be stress or hormone imbalances but as a young girl who has several pelvic issues I think if you’re having pain that’s where the concern should be

I love how enraged she is by her own human experience

For those in your existential crisis phase, im an artist and in my time running a buisness I've come across little art/studio vlogs. They genuinely make me feel so much peace. Its usually just artists talking about their daily tasks or making things out of clay. Maybe its cause thats what I like but it feels so peaceful and cozy. I think some of yall would enjoy them 🖤

you are so necessary in this period of time, thank you for keeping it real always

not even kidding this podcast is what gives me any sense of normalcy and sanity. your humor and the way you talk is EXACTLY like me and the things u say is how my brain works like i love you so so much and i appreciate your content thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

YESSSS HANDS OFF THE WHEELLLL!!!! I need this sm

I went a year with no periods, with the following year only having 4. The only thing found to be wrong was a vitamin d deficit, but they did not ever tell me that those things are connected, I was led to believe it was just a coincidence. So thank you so much for sharing your personal life bc this actually helped me understand what I was going through.

THE MIDLAND SHOUTOUT WAS A HIGHLIGHT OF MY DAYYY

I just got my license and I'm eager to listen to this episode while driving with my eyes closed

I just heartily laughed out loud upon reading this 🤣

Insuline resistance and PCOS would make a lot of sense for everything Brittany explained and I had many similar issues: balding, breaking out, weight fluctuation, oiliness, irregular periods. To determine TRUE insuline resistance you need extended glucose test, not just one blood vial drawn right in the morning

When you addressed the insulin resistance and PCOS did your symptoms subside?

you have no idea the relief that comes from you talking about the human experience and the fear of the way that humanity is progressing. ❤️ you

I completely felt when you talked about the bombardment of data on the mind that is technology and social media. I’ve had a recent realization that I get anxious when not stimulated by music, podcasts, etc. and so I’m being intentional in sitting in silence and speaking to myself more. I think that’s a common experience for many people, especially young people today. Thanks for letting me know I’m not alone ❕❕💕

I’ve been in almost the same spot with my period. I cannot diagnose anyone. I am just a PCOS girly. Low vitamin D is actually a common marker for PCOS. With not having a period for 6 months I would really push to get an external and internal ultrasound to check for PCOS. Getting the diagnosis is scary and overwhelming but when they look inside they’ll measure your uterine lining and make sure it’s at a healthy thickness. This is important bc when you don’t get a period regularly and shed your lining it can build up and down the line, cause issues including uterine cancer. That’s why PCOS has a higher risk for that and not ovarian cancer because having polycystic ovaries doesn’t seem to lead to cancer of the ovaries. I know this is a lot, but it’s so so important to now what’s up and treat it properly ❤ It may just be a wonky cycle, but knowledge is power in health (coming from someone with extreme white coat phobia lol)

Came here to say PCOS! It affects such a large percentage of women and is not talked about enough. It has touched every aspect of my life. And a lot of these things sound just like me.

this comments section has to be the most i’ve heard about pcos since i got my diagnosis a couple months ago. my gyno said bc im young to just put me on birth control and i feel like that was all i was told. i had to do my own research as a KID, and the whole experience has just really turned me off of the gyno. Thanks for providing me with some comfort!!

​@@kassandradupont1500I was on the pill for like a year and after that I just didnt see the benefits so I decided to go the natural way aka suplements. My advice is to go to go to a endocrinologist as well and yeah do your own research... For some reason pcos is overlooked and not seen as a big problem by doctors at least thats my experience.

⁠@@mitza420ask your doctor about using spironolactone. A dermatologist might be more likely to prescribe. It will block the excess androgens from pcos that cause both head hair loss AND excess body hair. Added bonus of reducing hormonal acne as well. I’m on month 5 of taking it and there is a noticeable difference in both body hair and my hairline is almost back to what it used to be a few years ago.

lots of us are feeling exactly like you rn, from our oily itchy hair to imbalanced hormones we cant afford to fix. love you gorgeous

ive been watching your podcasts for a while now, (since day one) and i just wanna say you inspire me so so much and make me feel not alone because i relate to SO MUCH of this. thank you britt❤

Dude hearing you talk about your health and needing to take vitamins just gave me so much relief. I’ve been losing my hair at 20 years old and it’s been wrecking my self confidence. I went to a doctor and I swear they’re putting me on vitamin d, b12, and vitamin c lmao. Thank you!!!

I felt the title- just found out I’m dangerously low on iron NOT ANEMIC I’m just iron deficient from getting an abortion a few months ago! I’ve lowed 60% of my hair, been so fatigued I sleep 15 hours a day, dizzy out of my mind, sick with no fever, no Covid but my throat is swollen and I’m breathless. Turns out I’m 2 points away from an emergency blood transfusion all because I don’t eat enough iron and lost a lot of blood. Please regularly check on your minerals guys. U can have absolutely no idea and normalize sickness because u don’t wanna be “dramatic” and think somethings wrong. New Medicaid plans are out rn until December 31st so there’s still time to enroll in some insurance for the next year!! Pls take care of yourselves yall

Man its knowledge like this that anyone with a uterus should be taught/common knowledge, cause I cant imagine how many people experience the same thing you did and had no idea why after their procedure

I'm glad to know that we're all going through it

I love it when you analyse and explain songs from various artists, i could hear you talk about them alla day tbh

Describing getting your tubes tied like that fucking knocked me tf out 😂

okay but brittany i am so unbelievably relieved to hear you talk about the human experience at this time and i feel every single thing you said on such a deep level and it’s all so violently overwhelming so it’s nice to hear it be acknowledged by someone and in such an articulate way, i cannot express this enough

It’s so healing to see so many people appreciate and consume the ideas Brittany has bc they’re such beautiful takes with passion every time.

dude you are literally so intelligent and interesting and relatable and REAL i love u sm

Loved this episode! I feel like you took the words out of my mouth when you talked of modern society.. and post Covid. Can’t wait for next episode

Broski reports are my therapy sessions. The content is literally how I have inner conversations with myself in my head day to day. Also, shout out to the seasonal depression club !

Women’s health is such a complicated web with overlap you’d never expect and in places doctors have told me they don’t even fully understand yet. My cycle and endo diagnosis affects my dysautonomia symptoms so directly it’s insane. And I went through the years of “you’re crazy, you’re looking for drugs, it’s just stress”. Haha no it wasn’t!! So girls take care of yourself and advocate for yourself, thank you supreme leader for talking about it ❤️❤️❤️

I LOVE DRINKING PROBLEM!! I love love love that song so insanely much and have such a connection to a lot of their music. It connects me to my dad and im so glad you had a moment with this song

brittany!!! I have similar problems with with my hormones/periods etc. and I was diagnosed with PCOS! sooo many symptoms of PCOS are are generalized but it’s different for everyone and it’s worth finding a good doctor who will listen to you and advocate for you!

I’m in college atm and we’re are learning that malnutrition is the majority of the problem when it comes to irregular periods !

Okay the having ugly days thing is actually called the luteal phase and it comes during the time between ovulation and your next period it has to do with your hormones fluctuating. Just felt the need to share that, much love 💕
