60 Minutes of Confidence Advice Every Woman Needs to Hear26 Oct 202601:09:08

Did you know that confidence is a skill you can learn?

So many women wait until they feel confident enough to speak up, ask for a bigger salary, or take the next step in our careers. But what if we've been approaching confidence the wrong way?

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr Claire Kaye, a former NHS GP turned confidence coach, to explore how we can recognise our strengths and start making career decisions that feel right for us.

We also talk about:

📉 What to do when you hit a career slump in your late 20s
🤝 How to handle colleagues who undermine you at work
📝 The 5 person exercise to discover strengths you didn't know you had
🪞 How to stop shrinking yourself and second guessing everything you say at work
💭 Why you don't need to be the loudest person in the room to be confident
💰 How to ask for the salary you actually deserve
😬 Why you shouldn't feel guilty about leaving your job

BEST Ways To Heal Your Gut And Stress (expert advice)22 Jun 202600:54:41

Did you know there is a natural answer to Ozempic?

In today’s episode, we’re joined by Dr Madusha Peiris and Dr Rubina Aktar, who are leading experts in the gut-brain connection, with over a decade of research focused on how the gut senses nutrients and communicates with the brain through hormone signalling.

Their work has helped uncover how specialised gut cells (L-cells) can be activated to release key appetite-regulating hormones including GLP-1 and PYY - a lesser-known satiety hormone that many researchers believe is just as important as GLP-1 for sustainable appetite control.

Listen in and learn:

🥦 the reason you shouldn’t be buying probiotic supplements

🔬 the truth behind “nature’s ozempic”

🤤 why you never feel full

🥣 what to buy to * actually * heal your gut

🍽️ how to moderate your appetite control


Studies mentioned:

The following paper was published in Gut journal and is also foundational to Elcella’s science:
