| 5/19/26 | Life After Weight Loss | Losing weight is often seen as the hard part. It isn’t.In this episode, I’m joined by psychologist Dr Courtney Raspin, co-author of The Weight Loss Prescription, to talk about what actually happens after the weight comes off—and why this is where most people struggle.We explore the gap between weight loss and weight maintenance, particularly in the context of weight loss injections. Because while these medications can be incredibly effective, they don’t solve the underlying behaviours, habits, and psychological patterns that determine what happens next.This is the part of the conversation that often gets missed: the “exit plan.”About the bookThe Weight Loss Prescription by Dr Courtney Raspin and Dr Max Pemberton brings together the medical and psychological sides of weight loss—particularly in the context of modern treatments like GLP-1 medications.It’s not a quick fix guide. It’s a framework for what happens after. | — | ||||||
| 5/12/26 | Why You Procrastinate (And Why Perfectionism Makes It Worse) | When you know what you “should” do but still can’t make yourself do it, it’s easy to assume you’re the problem.In this episode, I’m joined by GP and Chimp Management director Dr Sarah Caddy to break down procrastination and perfectionism using the Chimp Model from Professor Steve Peters.We explore why capable, intelligent people still get stuck, how perfectionism quietly fuels avoidance, and why motivation is the least reliable part of the process.This is a practical conversation about what’s actually going on in your brain when you delay, overthink, or wait for the “right time” — and how to start working with it instead of fighting it.We cover:why procrastination isn’t lazinesshow perfectionism drives inactionthe role of habits, beliefs and self-imagewhy motivation fades (and what matters more)making a plan that works on your worst dayhow comparison and marketing hijack your thinkingsimple ways to get unstuck and take actionLinks:The Chimp ParadoxA Path Through the JungleChimp ManagementIf you’ve ever thought “I know what to do, I just can’t make myself do it,” this will make uncomfortable amounts of sense. | — | ||||||
| 5/5/26 | Bad Influence: How the Internet Hijacked Our Health | Patients aren’t just turning up with symptoms anymore — they’re turning up with diagnoses, treatment plans, and a feed full of advice.In this episode, I’m joined by Deb Cohen — former BMJ investigative journalist and co-author of Bad Influence — to unpack how the internet has reshaped health information, trust, and the doctor–patient relationship.We talk about the rise of “Dr TikTok,” why algorithms feel like they know you better than you know yourself, and how perfectly reasonable curiosity can turn into confusion, anxiety, and unnecessary interventions.This isn’t about blaming people for getting it wrong. It’s about understanding the system we’re all now navigating.Deb’s book:Bad Influence: How the Internet Has Hijacked Our HealthAvailable in hardback and audiobookTime stamps:00:00 Podcast Welcome01:21 Debs Journalism Journey02:22 Pandemic Shift to Social03:08 Dr TikTok Moment04:18 Fertility Test Wakeup05:10 Facebook to TikTok Era07:40 Algorithms and Trust12:00 Self Diagnosis Loops16:25 NHS Distrust and Fixes19:01 Borrowed Legitimacy21:26 Stories vs Evidence23:30 US Model Goes Global26:09 Influencers Selling Drugs28:03 Doctor Influencer Ethics28:45 IV Drips and Red Flags31:58 Spotting Conflicts and Hype35:57 Tech Bro Health Mindset37:42 Wearables Scans and Cascades41:51 Private Tests NHS Fallout43:41 NHS Gaps and Private Clinics46:44 AI Regulation and Hope49:51 Using the Internet Wisely51:20 Book Wrap Up and Thanks | — | ||||||
| 4/28/26 | What Happens After Cancer Treatment Ends? Rebuilding Strength, Confidence and Life Again | What happens when cancer treatment finishes, but nobody really tells you what comes next?In this episode, I’m joined by Sarah Newman, a cancer and exercise specialist and founder of Get Me Back. Sarah shares her own story of being diagnosed with cervical cancer during pregnancy, going through intensive treatment, and then facing the part that often gets far less attention: life afterwards.We talk about the shock of deconditioning, the fear of doing damage, outdated advice about lifting weights, and why rest alone is not enough when it comes to rebuilding after cancer. Sarah also explains how strength training, patience and the right support can help people reconnect with their bodies and regain confidence after treatment.This is an important conversation for anyone recovering from cancer, supporting someone who is, or working with patients who feel a bit abandoned once treatment ends.Sarah’s work: Get Me BackWebsite: https://www.getmeback.ukIf you enjoyed this episode, please follow, rate and share the podcast.If you want, I can also give you 5 alternative title options that are slightly punchier, sadder, or more hopeful depending on the angle you want. | — | ||||||
| 4/21/26 | Rebuilding After Cancer: The Missing Step | You’ve finished cancer treatment.Now what?Most people default to being cautious — and for good reason. But when caution turns into inactivity, it quietly works against you.In this episode:Why fear and “being careful” can stall recoveryWhat inactivity does to muscle, fitness and long-term healthThe evidence that exercise improves survival after cancerHow to rebuild safely with simple, structured movementThe shift:Rest helped you survive.Now it’s time to rebuild.Start where you are — not where you wereBuild confidence through small, repeatable stepsAim for:Regular walking2 strength sessions per weekFear will show up — that doesn’t mean you’re causing harmKey Takeaways | — | ||||||
| 4/14/26 | The Starved Brain: Eating Disorders, Anxiety and Recovery | In this episode, I’m joined by dietitian Victoria Schonwald to explore the link between eating disorders, malnutrition and brain function.We discuss why restrictive eating doesn’t just affect the body—it changes the brain. And why, for many people, recovery isn’t about thinking differently first, but eating differently.We cover:How malnutrition affects mood, anxiety and thinking patternsWhy therapy alone can fall short without adequate nutritionThe rise of disordered eating in midlife womenThe unintended consequences of weight loss injectionsOrthorexia and the growing fear of “unhealthy” foodWhy recovery is possible at any ageThis is a practical, compassionate conversation about food, fear, and why the brain needs fuel to heal. | — | ||||||

| 3/31/26 | Addicted to Anxiety? Why Reassurance, Checking and Control Keep You Stuck | What if anxiety isn’t just something that happens to you — but something you unknowingly keep feeding?In this episode, I’m joined by psychotherapist and bestselling author Owen O’Kane to talk about his book Addicted to Anxiety and why anxiety can become so hard to break free from.We explore the habits that feel helpful in the moment — Googling symptoms, checking, avoiding, seeking reassurance — and why they often make anxiety worse over time.We also discuss why anxious thoughts aren’t facts, how anxiety shows up in the body, and why learning to tolerate uncertainty is often the turning point.In this episode we cover:Why many people don’t realise how much anxiety is driving their behaviourHow reassurance, checking and avoidance reinforce anxietyWhy thoughts are not the problem — but what we do next isThe link between anxiety and physical symptomsWhy the body needs to be addressed, not just the mindHow walking and simple regulation strategies can helpWhy anxiety is often learned — and can be unlearnedWhat it actually looks like to recoverIf you’ve ever found yourself stuck in overthinking, symptom-Googling or needing constant reassurance, this episode will give you a very different way to understand anxiety — and a way forward. | — | ||||||
| 3/24/26 | Why Most People Over 50 End Up in A&E | Why Most People Over 50 End Up in A&EFalls are one of the most overlooked threats to health and independence as we age—and they’re far more common (and serious) than most people realise.In this Pocket Prescription episode, I explain why falls—not heart attacks—are one of the leading reasons people over 50 end up in A&E, and what actually happens after that fall that makes the difference between recovery and decline.I cover:Why falls are so dangerous (beyond just fractures)The reality of hip fractures and loss of independenceThe “long lie” and why being unable to get up can be life-threateningThe hospitalisation cascade: muscle loss, infections, and loss of confidenceWhy falls risk increases with age (strength, balance, and sensory changes)The surprising role of hearing loss in falls riskCommon hazards at home that are often missedMost importantly, this episode focuses on what you can actually do:How strength training reduces falls riskSimple ways to improve balance at homeWhy practising getting up off the floor mattersPractical changes to make your home saferHow to plan for a worst-case scenarioFalls are not just “bad luck” or clumsiness—they are predictable and, importantly, preventable.If you want to stay independent, this is something worth paying attention to.Links & resources:Download my free Start Strength Safely planJoin my weekly newsletterAge UK home safety checklist (falls prevention)You can also listen to my full conversation with A&E consultant Professor Rob Galloway on how to stay out of hospital. | — | ||||||
| 3/17/26 | Inside A&E. The reality doctors are seeing. | Emergency medicine consultant Professor Rob Galloway joins me to talk about what is really happening inside A&E departments across the NHS.This conversation was prompted by an article Rob wrote describing the current pressures in emergency care — corridor care, ambulance delays, and the growing mismatch between what the NHS was originally designed to treat and the illnesses now filling hospitals.We discuss why the system is struggling, the consequences for patients and staff, and why the solution isn’t simply more money but a fundamental rethink of prevention, primary care and how demand is managed.Rob also shares the personal story behind his charity Rare People, which funds research into treatments for rare diseases following his daughter’s diagnosis with a rare genetic condition.Corridor care and the normalisation of unsafe conditionsAmbulance delays and hidden system failuresWhy the NHS model struggles with chronic diseaseRisk in general practice and emergency medicineDefensive medicine and increasing investigationLifestyle illness and demand on emergency servicesFalls, strength and long-term healthRare disease research and Rob’s charity Rare PeopleRare People charity:https://rarepeople.org | — | ||||||

| 2/20/26 | The most underused exercise for high blood pressure. | A pocket prescription episode .Episode SummaryIf you’ve been diagnosed with high blood pressure, you’ve probably been told to walk more. That’s good advice — but it’s not the whole picture.In this episode, I explain why resistance training is one of the most underused tools in blood pressure management.

It’s just incomplete.If you’re managing hypertension, strength training should be part of the prescription.The video version of this episode is available on YouTube. | — | ||||||

| 2/3/26 | Life-Saving Inequality: Addressing CPR Training Gaps with Chloe Lipton | Addressing Gender Disparities in CPR Training: An Urgent Call for ChangeIn this podcast, Chloe discusses the critical issue of gender disparities in bystander CPR administration, shedding light on the alarming statistic that women are significantly less likely to receive CPR than men. Originating from a Duke University study and supported by various other studies, Chloe shares her journey from discovering this issue to actively campaigning for the inclusion of female-bodied mannequins in CPR training sessions. She highlights how discomfort, fear of doing it wrong, and societal taboos contribute to this disparity. Chloe's petition aims to mandate the use of female mannequins in training to better prepare the public and ultimately improve survival rates for women. The conversation touches on the need for systemic changes in healthcare training and the importance of overcoming baseless fears of legal repercussions for CPR providers.Please sign the petition here https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73897600:00 Introduction to Gender Disparities in CPR01:02 The Shocking Statistics02:02 Barriers to Performing CPR on Women03:53 Campaigning for Change04:10 Training with Female Mannequins10:08 Addressing Misconceptions and Fears17:56 Support from Organisations19:42 The Importance of Awareness and Conversation20:16 Challenges in Women's Healthcare21:43 The Petition Process Explained24:11 Training on Female Mannequins25:49 The Reality of CPR and AED Use29:34 Encouraging Action and Overcoming Fear32:49 Final Thoughts and Call to ActionAddressing Gender Disparities in CPR Training: An Urgent Call for ChangeReach Chloe on any of these platforms https://substack.com/@everydaysteminist?r=1mdv9x&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=profilehttps://youtube.com/@everydaysteminist?si=VZkXno79Hbdi83zOhttps://www.tiktok.com/@everydaysteminist?_r=1&_t=ZN-93YyHKw3eTehttps://www.instagram.com/everydaysteminist?igsh=M25lejN1d3huY2Zw&utm_source=qr | — | ||||||
| 1/30/26 | The Problem with "you can't outrun a bad diet" | Debunking the Myth: Can You Really 'Outrun' a Bad Diet?In this episode, I critically examine the popular saying 'You can't outrun a bad diet.' Often touted as a physiological law, I delve into what this phrase actually means and whether it holds any truth. Through personal anecdotes and examples from my medical practice, I explore the nuanced relationships between diet, exercise, and overall health. I argue that phrases like these can be harmful and distract from the real benefits of exercise. Ultimately, I advocate for integrating both nutrition and physical activity to achieve a balanced, healthy lifestyle.00:00 Introduction: Can You Outrun a Bad Diet?01:07 Debunking the Bad Diet Myth01:25 Real-Life Examples of 'Bad Diets'03:56 The Importance of Energy Balance05:07 Exercise vs. Diet: The Bigger Picture06:24 The True Benefits of Exercise08:09 Conclusion: Embrace Movement, Not Slogans | — | ||||||
| 1/23/26 | Pocket Prescription. Respect, Not Love: Why Strength Training Is About Maturity and Self-Investment | Welcome to Prescription Strength, where we explore practical advice for building and sustaining healthy habits. In this Pocket Prescription episode, Dr. Lynette Ewart tackles a common but rarely discussed challenge: sticking with strength training even when you don’t love it. Whether you’re a few months into your routine and finding it a chore, or you’re just starting out, this episode is for you.Dr. Lynette Ewart examines the myth that all good-for-you habits should eventually become enjoyable, introducing the concept of neutrality—accepting that some things are simply useful and functional, even if they don’t spark joy. Drawing relatable comparisons to everyday tasks like working, brushing teeth, and even leisure screen time, she offers perspective on why consistency trumps perfection. This candid discussion reminds us that strength training is an investment in our future selves, and real progress is sometimes measured in just showing up, not always in dramatic results.Tune in as Dr. Lynette Ewart shares honest, compassionate insight to help you stick with your training—not because it’s easy, but because it’s worth it. | — | ||||||

| 1/16/26 | Pocket Prescription. What does being healthy really mean? | This is the first Pocket Prescription — short episodes for people who want to think more clearly about health without the noise.In this episode, I ask a simple question that’s harder than it sounds: what does being healthy actually mean?Health isn’t how you look, and it isn’t always how you feel. Both are unreliable. Appearance can hide exhaustion, anxiety, or fragility. Feelings fluctuate with sleep, stress, hormones, and life.Instead, this episode explores health as capacity — the ability to meet the demands of life, recover when things wobble, and continue. Not perfectly. Just sustainably.Drawing on insights from great books such as The Seven Ages of Death, by Dr Richard Shepherd and Sod Sitting, Get Moving by Sir Muir Gray, I look at how the meaning of health shifts with age — from performance early on to resilience, independence, and margin later in life.This isn’t about optimisation or transformation.It’s about building something that lasts — and staying in the relationship with your health, even imperfectly. | — | ||||||
