Will we ever get off the yo-yo diet train?

Season 5 · Episode 9

Wednesday, April 17, 2024 • Duration 25:11

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode does refer to binge eating and eating disorders at points throughout.

Yo-yo dieting aka the binge-purge cycle is something that has been around for decades and even though it gets rebranded with other descriptions like detoxes or surrounded with phrases like ‘cheat days’ it’s still the same thing. Basically moving from periods of (often extreme) restriction to going all out.

We both feel quite passionate about how detrimental this cycle can be so in this week’s episode we talk in and around this all too familiar pattern. We also address both the physical and mental negative effects it can have as well as the role that culture and society has on pushing the same ‘ideal’ narrative.

This is probably going to resonate with a lot of you and potentially provoke divisive opinions but we want to hear them all so please get in touch.

Can regulating our circadian rhythm help with sleep? - Sadie Frost

Season 4 · Episode 10

Wednesday, May 3, 2023 • Duration 43:19

Circadian rhythm essentially refers to our biological internal clock and has a vital role in regulating our sleep-wake cycle. There has been a huge increase in studying this in relation to our overall health and well-being, most notably sleep.

We wanted to investigate further and see if light exposure and working in conjunction with our circadian rhythms can really get us better in bed!

For this episode we have asked our very special guest Sadie Frost to take on the challenge with the guidance of meditation teacher and founder of OPO app, Chris Connors.

Can working with the light and timing get Sadie into more of a circadian flow and can it help address her long-standing sleep problems?

Is Pilates more than just about the pelvic floor?

Season 4 · Episode 8

Wednesday, April 19, 2023 • Duration 26:49

Despite having its first wave of celebrity endorsement in the 90’s, pilates has been around since the 1920’s. It was created by Joseph Pilates who famously said “in 10 sessions you feel better, in 20 sessions you look better, 30 sessions you have a completely new body”. The main premise being on strengthening core muscles around the spine and the pelvic floor with a focus on strategic working of the muscles rather than exhaustion to create length and strength alongside its signature breathing. Pilates can be done on a mat or using a reformer machine which uses springs, ropes and pulleys. Research shows that pilates can help with recovery and certain injuries, increase strength and endurance as well as improving flexibility, balance and posture.

We wanted to put it to the test and for this challenge we have literally ‘roped in’ our first guest of the season, the amazing author, integrated health practitioner and founder of her eponymous chai brand, Mira Manek to see if she found any benefits from it.

Does Mira find more flexibly, mobility and strength in her core? Or does she just want to get back to being her usual gym bunny self?

Can we bounce ourselves happy?

Season 4 · Episode 7

Wednesday, April 12, 2023 • Duration 21:32

Rebounding requires using a trampoline or trampette to essentially jump up and down as a way to improve our fitness levels - it certainly can elevate our heart rate! Fans of this type of exercise famously include Goldie Hawn who streamed her rebounding during the lock down days. However many proponents of rebounding also claim it may help to increase endorphins that may heighten our mood and potentially help to alleviate stress.

We wanted to find out if its worth the hype so this week Eve challenges Rose to get bouncing for a week and report back. Can it give Rose a lift physically and mentally?

Can ‘nootropic' supplements make us smarter?

Season 4 · Episode 6

Wednesday, April 5, 2023 • Duration 20:48

The term ’nootropic’ is really an umbrella term for supplements (and certain meds) which can supposedly help to boost the brain’s performance and enhance cognitive functions. These may include specific vitamins, minerals, fatty acids or derived from plants, while others can be made from novel synthetic compounds in the case of prescription meds. Despite the soaring rise in popularity for these ’smarter’ supplements, it is mostly small studies that show that they can positively affect the brain and not so much in way of large controlled data. We wanted to put them to our own test and for this one Rose is setting Eve the challenge and putting her on the path to being potentially more cognitively enhanced.

Do they actually make Eve more focused and brain sharp or is it just placebo?

Is calorie counting a waste of time?

Season 4 · Episode 5

Wednesday, March 29, 2023 • Duration 25:49

TRIGGER WARNING: Eating disorders are discussed in this episode

Calories are universally recognised as a means to measure the amount of energy in foods that are present on the pack of every food we buy. This has been used as a way to monitor the amount of energy we take in through our food and implemented in certain weight loss programmes. In more recent years it has gained a lot more popularity through certain apps. However whilst calories can give some indication of the units of energy in food they do not give any data on the nutritional value and quality of food which is why this method has come under more scrutiny. So much so that the phrase “calories in, calories out” for weight loss is really not that straight forward at all and has been refuted by many. We want to see if calorie counting has any validity or use in helping us to support our health and wellbeing or is it just a total waste of time?

The rules:
Rose has to count calories for a week using an app which will have been calculated according to her age/height/weight and meet the target amount over the course of the week. She has to upload everything she eats and drinks for the duration of the week and note how she is feeling throughout the week both physically and mentally.

Does she find this useful or just a way to feed into a dysfunctional relationship with our food?

DO WE NEED TO ‘CLEANSE’ OUR LIVER?

Season 4 · Episode 4

Wednesday, March 22, 2023 • Duration 20:10

Liver cleanses and detoxes can be big business in the wellness industry. Essentially these various programmes or protocols are based around the notion that they promise to 'rid the body of various toxins’. Despite some quite bold claims there is virtually no scientific evidence to back this up. There are many different interpretations of what these cleanses look like including the ‘liver flush’ which includes drinking a cocktail of ingredients designed to do just that. However pseudoscience a lot of these are, is there a bigger question of looking to support our liver health more generally? We wanted to dig into this. So in this episode Rose challenges Eve to follow a 3 day protocol including an…erm…delicious drink?!

The rules: For 3 days Eve has to cut out all caffeine, alcohol and sugar and eat vegetables, wholegrain, fruit, nuts & seeds and protein in the form of chicken, fish and pulses. She also has to have a daily 'liver flush’ drink.

Does Eve notice any benefits at all or is it just another ridiculous fad?
