Añadido: 2026-05-23

[00:00:00]You open up this season [music] about taking a GLP-1, feeling better in your body, going on a weight loss journey. I have been taking my GLP-1 for about 2 months because I gained 20 lb from my medication, and it's really amazing for me, and I love it, and I've lost about 6 lb. How are you doing with all of that? I am more than confident and happy than I've ever been in my life. I've struggled with eating disorders and eating problems my entire life, body dysmorphia, binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, everything. So, to be able to like have control over my food thoughts and my food noise, and to actually just enjoy food more is just amazing, and to feel more confident in myself. Like, a year ago, like, I would say [music] I was struggling with filming season 2.

[00:00:51]>> Didn't like how you looked.

[00:00:52]>> I did not like how I looked. I did not [music] like myself.

[00:00:56]>> Mhm. And it's definitely changed. We're definitely getting there. You definitely [music] have to love yourself. There's going to be things that you don't like, but at the end of the day, you got to you got to try to love yourself because >> [music] >> there's only one of you.

[00:01:08]>> That's it.

[00:01:09]>> So. And by the way, you're beautiful inside and out, and I feel like your confidence and your joy and the happiness of a wedding and becoming a wife, I feel like it's really coming through and shining through. Are you keeping track of your progress, or are you just like, let me see how I feel in these clothes? I do not keep track of my progress because I feel like the number on the scale doesn't define you.

[00:01:31]>> Amen. And I feel like a lot more women need to understand that. And it comes down to how you look in the mirror and how you feel in the mirror when you look at yourself, and how you feel when you put jeans on, or how you feel when you put a dress on, or how you feel when you put makeup on. Really just matters. Yeah.

[00:01:48]Uh, you talked a little bit about how like the comments and the critiques can be very mean and unsettling to read. I I have people call me from Baylen to Waylon. To [music] have comments about like your body, it doesn't necessarily feel the greatest.

[00:02:05]And I get a little bit down on myself. I just wish that, you know, Baylen could see herself through my eyes and the way that I see her.

[00:02:14]I mean, >> [snorts] >> she's the most beautiful woman that I've ever met.

[00:02:22]But I want to tell you on a positive note, I mean, the comments about how you looked on your wedding day, girl, Disney princess, she looked like the queen of the universe. I mean >> one of my friends tell like a friend of a friend who was a bridesmaid reached out and she's like, "Baylen, >> [music] >> my friend just called me and she thought your photo was AI." And I was like, "That is so sweet. That makes me so happy." And I was like, "That is so sweet. That makes me so happy." And then there was another thing that was like, "You need to start modeling." And I was like, "I wish. I would love to model."

[00:02:52]>> You could. Whatever the dream that you have is for yourself, I mean, you you you are beautiful and you're doing a really great job with your platform. So >> so much.

[00:03:00]>> Of course. It is Tourette Syndrome Awareness Month. It is so wonderful to have an outspoken advocate like you letting the world know about this condition. What is the biggest misconception about it and what do you want people to know? The biggest misconception that I hear or that I know or that I read is that I'm supposed to tic 24/7. I'm supposed to just be a ticking time bomb or something. I don't know what people think I am, but there is times, there's days that I can go hours without ticking, depending on what I'm doing, if I'm focused, if I have music in, if I'm reading, if I'm walking the dog, like depending on what I'm doing and where my mind is and how focused and how calm I am, like really [music] dictates my emotions, my tics, my feelings.

[00:03:47]New year, new Hey, everybody. We are making she bingo.

[00:03:54]I'm sharing my life with Tourette's Syndrome and what it looks like in me.

[00:03:58]Right. And how it manifested itself in me. This is not how it's portrayed for everybody else.

[00:04:03]>> Right. Everyone is different. Everyone is different and in every other condition out there in the world, it looks different in everybody and that's the same thing with Tourette's.

[00:04:11]Tourette's is on a spectrum. You have people that have mild cases and you have people that have really really severe cases and you have people with mild cases that are just like have [snorts] very very mild tics to the point where people don't assume that you have Tourette's.

[00:04:23]>> Correct.

[00:04:23]>> Because they're so mild. Oh, you don't have that. You have good tics. You have nice tics. You have blank blank blank and blank. And then you go down to the other spectrum and you have very very complex motor and vocal tics and whole body movements and people think that you're faking it because it's so abstract and so complex and so difficult to wrap your head around. When you look up a complex tic, it's like made to look purposeful. So people think that you're faking it. So You know, I I did want to ask you about that cuz there are quite a few people who leave comments accusing you of of doing this intentionally, of trying to be offensive. What do you say to that? I don't care. Yeah, you don't pay any mind to that. I used to. It really used to like hurt my feelings and like get under my skin just because I'm like I live with this every day. Like I'm not making this up. Like why would you think I'm making this up? But then now I'm like, you know what?

[00:05:16]Say what you want behind a screen, but you'll never say it to my face. Right.

[00:05:20]Isn't that interesting?

[00:05:21]>> You'll never say it to my face because I guarantee you'll see me ticking in public and be like, "Oh my god, I thought she was [music] faking it. Oh my god. Oh, she really Oh Oh, she's really got it going on."

[00:05:32]>> [music] >> I'm baking a cake while having Tourette's Syndrome. Hello. Hello.

[00:05:36]Hello.

[00:05:37]Yeah. Yeah.

[00:05:39]Yeah.

[00:05:40]Eat eggs. Can you do Oh my god. Oh my god, take the egg.

[00:05:47]Bailey.

[00:05:48]Oh no. Okay, yeah, we got a big problem.

[00:05:50]1 2 3 4 What are specific triggers that I have?

[00:05:58]Starting off Starting off a huge trigger that I have is bald people. [music] Yes.

[00:06:09]Bald people.

[00:06:10]Mhm, I got it from my dad who is also bald.

[00:06:15]My [music] fiance's name.

[00:06:20]We saw [music] your trial in London and you got to demo new pulse. It launches in June in the UK. Okay. And then after it get launches in the UK it has to be FDA approved, so it probably won't come available [music] until 2028, 2029. Hopefully before then, but you never really know. [music] Is it something that you plan to use once it's available?

[00:06:43]>> That is something that I do plan. I plan to get my hands right on that.

[00:06:45]>> Immediately.

[00:06:46]>> Immediately. You'll be number [music] one in line. Yes. You are three seasons in on Bald and Hairy Out Loud.

[00:06:51]>> [music] >> Do you have a season four in you? I do have a season four in me. Okay. Are you coming back?

[00:06:57]We'll have to find out. Okay. So, unclear at the moment.

[00:07:00]>> Unclear. How long do you plan to share your lives with the [music] cameras? I plan to share my lives with the cameras until it gets to a point where I've realized I've raised enough awareness, I've done the most I can and I guess we'll just got to kind of figure out when the time is, but I'll know when the time is it. Yeah.

[00:07:20]I'll know. Now, you talk about wanting kids one day and I'm thinking about like boundaries. Like, have you thought about whether you'd want your family, your family one day >> [music] >> to be exposed to the world the way that you have?

[00:07:32]I have not thought about that yet. I've not thought about that yet, but I've thought about like becoming a family and having my kids on social media and like blowing their blurring their faces or like doing things like that just so cuz there's a lot of creepy people out there with children. Yeah. Yeah, you want to do your best to protect them. You are a very public figure. Yes. You're like, "Oh my god, that's Elizabeth." No. No, it's not.

[00:07:55]>> not. Keep it moving. Keep it moving.
