In this week’s episode, we dive into the viral return of crash diets—from Vogue’s 1970s wine-and-eggs plan to the wider culture of extreme restriction. Why are these outdated ideas resurfacing, and what do they say about the wellness world today?
Raw milk is everywhere on TikTok, praised by influencers and wellness personalities. But is it really a nutritional powerhouse—or just a risky trend in disguise? We explore the facts, the fear, and the politics behind the hype.
New research suggests we may have reached the peak of human intelligence. Are modern lifestyles making us less focused and less capable of deep thinking? We unpack the science and what it could mean for our future.
We also take a closer look at the wholegrain debate—are they truly a health essential, or have they been overhyped? We break down the benefits, the drawbacks, and why refined grains shouldn’t always be the enemy.
Plus, Ella shares her latest updates from New York, Rhiannon reveals her verdict on sweet vs savoury breakfasts, and we answer a listener question on whether a sweet start to the day can still be balanced and nourishing.
