Body Bites With Bec – Details, episodes & analysis

If you constantly feel bloated, puffy, low in energy, or stuck with weight that just won't budge – even though you're doing "all the right things" – this episode is for you.

So many women don't realise that low-grade inflammation can quietly affect everything from your gut and hormones to your metabolism, fluid retention, and fat loss. It might be the missing piece of your puzzle!

In today's episode, I break down:
💚 What inflammation actually is
🔥 The subtle signs and symptoms of inflammation
🥗 The foods that fuel inflammation (including some "healthy" ones that may surprise you)
🌿 The top anti-inflammatory foods
⚠️ The gluten connection – and why trying gluten free could be your answer
😴 How stress, poor sleep, plastics, overtraining & lifestyle habits fuel inflammation
✨The switches I've recently made in my kitchen to make it lower in plastics and toxins
🧠 How gut inflammation (and leaky gut) make weight loss harder

If you've been feeling off, inflamed, or frustrated with your progress, this episode will help you understand what may be going on beneath the surface – and what you can realistically do to support your metabolism, gut, and energy without needing to be perfect.

How to take charge of your health, build muscle, and prevent disease — for life.

What if you could detect disease years before symptoms appear? 👀

In this powerful chat with longevity doctor and Everlab Co-Founder Dr Steven Lu, we uncover how early testing, data-driven prevention and lifestyle tweaks can help you live longer, stronger and healthier – without the overwhelm.

From the rise of cancer in younger Aussies, to the secrets behind better sleep, stronger muscles and lower inflammation… this episode will completely change how you think about health 💚

This episode is a must-listen if you care about your health now and for decades to come 💚

I'm joined by one of Australia's most forward-thinking doctors, Dr Steven Lu – Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Everlab, a pioneering longevity and preventative health clinic changing how we think about medicine.

In this chat, he shares what we can each do today to take control of our long-term health and longevity.

💡 In this episode, we chat about:

✅ Steven's story – and why he left ICU to focus on preventative, data-driven healthcare.

✅ The 5 biggest killers today (and how early testing can prevent most of them).

✅ The unique, personalised tests used at Everlab to detect disease risk before symptoms appear.

✅ The importance of individualised data, DEXA scans, and understanding your own health metrics like you would your bank balance.

✅ The scary rise of cancer in younger Australians and why it's no longer just an "older person's" problem.

✅ The environmental and lifestyle shifts are likely driving this increase.

✅ The true causes behind poor sleep – and Steven's 3-2-1 method to finally get a good night's rest.

✅ How your genes can affect sleep, bone density and muscle – and why "what runs in the family" might sometimes just be shared habits.

✅ Why banking muscle early in life is one of the best investments for longevity (and how strength training can even help reverse diabetes).

✅ Can more muscle really reduce your risk of Alzheimer's? Steven explains how it might.

✅ The link between gut health, malabsorption and slow progress with muscle gain or body composition goals.

✅ Visceral fat: why it increases for women around menopause and how inflammation, sleep and stress all play a role.

✅ The power of whole foods, fibre and anti-inflammatory eating for reducing bowel cancer risk and supporting long-term health.

✅ Why biohacking tools (like red light and saunas) are add-ons – not replacements – for the foundations of health.

You'll walk away feeling empowered, not fearful — ready to take charge of your own data, your habits, and your health future 🙌

In todays episode, I had the incredible honour to have Simon Hill back on the podcast and honestly, this chat was exactly what we all needed to hear.

Simon breaks down the science better than anyone I know to debunk myths and bring you informed, easy to digest information to cut through alll of the confusion out there!

If you've been wondering if butter and coconut oil are heart-healthy or harmful, this episode is for you as  Simon and I delve into the latest research on fats, cholesterol and the truths behind popular diet trends.

I get asked about this daily!

We chat all about:

• The real science behind what cholesterol actually does in your body
• Why getting an ApoB test is SO much better than your standard cholesterol test
• The genetic lottery - why some people can eat eggs daily and be totally fine whilst others can't
• How different saturated fats affect your body differently (butter vs yoghurt vs coconut oil)
• Why fibre is cholesterol's best friend
• How to make tweaks to a lower carb lifestyle if you're worried about cholesterol - without dramatic overhauls
• Why you absolutely don't need to cut butter or coconut oil out completely
• The truth behind 'refueling with carbs' after a workout

The biggest takeaway? Know YOUR body, and remember that small tweaks often work better than dramatic changes!

The 3 myths I'm busting are:

1. Red meat and processed meat - isn't it bad / causes cancer?

2. Aren't low carb diets not sustainable? Don't they cause gut and hormone issues

3. Doesn't fasting cause hormonal imbalances in women?

I also give two TV show recs and fill you in on some of the exciting things that I've been working on BTS lately!
