What is the future of tobacco use? Do you remember the days when we could smoke indoors, restaurants and even hospitals? When smoking was a status symbol of being cool. Our mindsets to what is acceptable around smoking has shifted, yet what are your thoughts on a smoke free nation? Smoking remains the leading preventable cause of illness and premature death, responsible for more than eight million deaths a year globally. Dr Cother works in public health and epidemiology, working on preventing risk factors for chronic disease including; diet, smoking, alcohol, exercise and mental health. New Zealand plans to outlaw tobacco for anyone born post 2008, and the UK are planning to prescribe e-cigarettes to help smokers quit.

Climate change is the greatest threat to global health in the 21st century, so much so, that some people are making the decision to not have any children for the fear of where our world is heading. Well known celebrities such as Cate Blanchett speaks openly about suffering with Eco-Anxiety and has even launched a podcast surrounding it. So what is Eco-Anxiety? To help me explore this I speak to Anouchka Grose, who is a psychoanalyst who has written a book on exactly this.

In 2020, the UK women’s skincare market was worth £1.4bn – a sure sign of our eagerness to stop the effects of ageing. Yet when it comes to our teeth, are we taking as much care? Tooth decay is one of the most common health problems in the UK. Over half of adults in the UK have one or more decayed or damaged teeth. Over half (nearly ¾ of) children aged 8 to 15 years have some tooth decay in their teeth.  To help us navigate the do's and don'ts, I speak to Harley St Dr Richard Marques.  Show notes Podcast host: @sarahannmacklin | www.sarahannmacklin.com Mental Health support: @be_well_collective | www.bewellcollective.co.uk Guest: @dr_richard 

It is time to break up with diet culture and stop trying to chase the ideal cure.  Diet companies and influencers capitalise on our system beliefs that there is a quick fix.  With the diet industry thought to be worth $60 billion, alongside an 80% failure rate, there is a lot of misinformed information.   To help you navigate the truth in what will help you lose weight and optimise your health, I speak to Cambridge geneticist and obesity expert, Dr Giles Yeo.  Show notes Podcast host: @sarahannmacklin | www.sarahannmacklin.com Mental Health support: @be_well_collective | www.bewellcollective.co.uk Guest: @GilesYeo

Calories are ubiquitous, and we can’t seem to escape them. Are we too fixated on them and should we be looking at a wider picture? Giles Yeo MBE, a Cambridge University research scientist who studies the genetics of obesity, who looks at how our brains control food intake and play a critical role in modulating appetitive behaviour. In this podcast we explore why looking simply at calories for weight loss could be flawed. How and why are all calories different and how does this impact our weight goals and overall health? We explore the hidden truths behind sugar, and why in our western diet we consume such high amounts. Is sugar really addictive and are we aware of how much sugar we are consuming? How become more aware of sugar within our diets and overall how should we be approach our eating happens to optimise our best selves.

Almost half of British adults are not aware of  government guidelines and 1-6 adults in the UK have low levels of vitamin D.  Low levels of Vitamin D have been associated with low mood, a poor immune system, increased risk of respiratory infections, COVID-19 and also an increase in all cause mortality.  We've also heard on the other hand that too much vitamin D can cause toxicity - but how strong is the research here?  There is a lot of noise surrounding this vitamin -but what are the true health facts? How much should we be taking and what are our risks with taking too little? In today'd episode I speak to immunologist Dr Jenna Macciochi,  who explains the latest research spanning this vitamin!  Show Notes * Host: @sarahannmacklin | www.sarahannmacklin.com * Be Well Collective: @be_well_collective | www.bewellcollective.co.uk Better You  This weeks podcast is sponsored by Better You * You can use the code BEWELL for free delivery on your vitamin D spray.

40-50% of our day is made up of habits. Scientific research has shown us that trying to rely on willpower, external motivations and white knuckling your way to success does not work.

Having studied health behaviour change psychology for 10 years, her mission is to offer a sustainable, evidence-based alternative to an industry saturated with quick fixes and health fads.

Acceptance is the ability to unconditionally value all parts of who you are. That means you acknowledge all of yourself, the good parts and the things that need improvement. For most of us, self-acceptance can be hard. We tend to be critical of ourselves, but there are a number of ways to learn to accept yourself and your life. It all begins with your state of mind. In todays episode I speak to Ramael Scully – or just Scully, as he is known – was born in 1979 in Malaysia to a mother of Chinese and Indian heritage and a father with Malay and Irish blood. He was head chef at Nopi, and now has his very own restaurant called Scully. Scully makes exploring the world through food an adventure, which when I spoke to him about his life journey was exactly what he had personally experienced.    Show Notes @sarahannmacklin | www.sarahannmacklin.com Be Well Collective: @be_well_collective | www.bewellcollective.co.uk    Scully https://www.scullyrestaurant.com/    

Life doesn't always go to plan. Even when you think you’re sure what you want in life, you may have to dodge some curveballs.  When our paths change suddenly or we feel that we've lost our purpose, it can feel extremely destabilizing.  In today’s episode fitness trainer and author Bradley Simmonds revels his personal journey connected to mental health and exercise. Bradleys fitness journey began after an ACL injury cut short his footballing career at Queen’s Park Rangers. Still in a cast, he began studying for his PT qualifications and fast-forward several years, he’s now one of the capital’s go-to trainers, having worked with everyone from Louise Redknapp to Premier League footballers.  This weeks episodes sponsors: www.oofos.co.uk  Show notes: Show notes Host: @sarahannmacklin | www.sarahannmacklin.com Be Well Collective: @be_well_collective | www.bewellcollective.co.uk Bradley’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradleysimmonds/?hl=en Get It Done is currently available online at getitdone.fitness and via app on iOS, Android & Apple TV.
