    Dec 18 2025
    This week we’re closing out the year with the moments that shaped 2025; the trends that genuinely made a difference, the habits that stuck and the simple rituals our whole community kept coming back to. From red light masks and fibre-maxxing to the wellness shifts that actually felt doable, we’re sharing what mattered most and why it resonated. We’re also diving into your end-of-year questions, from navigating UPFs and building easy plant-forward meals to creating cosy evening rituals and figuring out which habits are really worth prioritising.

  • Sugar Cravings, Protein Shakes & The Secret to Better Sleep

    Sugar Cravings, Protein Shakes & The Secret to Better Sleep
    Dec 15 2025
    This week we’re diving into the health stories you’ll actually want to know about as we head into mid-December. We’re unpacking why sugar cravings are so common and what’s really happening in your brain and body when they strike, plus the small, practical shifts that genuinely help. We look at the wild rise of protein shakes, from beef-sludge origins to celebrity smoothies and Michelin-styled blends, and what you actually need to know about protein for real-world health. We also explore the science of better sleep. A new wave of research is showing just how much gentle, consistent mind–body movement regulates cortisol, supports the nervous system and improves sleep quality over time. We break down what really makes the difference and how to build habits that help you sleep more deeply and wake up feeling human again.

    Beating Hangovers, Wellness Washing & The Chronic Disease Pandemic
    Dec 8 2025
    This week we’re diving into the health stories you’ll actually want to know about as we head into December. We’re looking at how to beat a hangover and stay well through the festive chaos, from sleep dips to sugar overload.

A major new Lancet review has brought global attention to the links between modern diets, ultra processed foods and long term illness, exposing the industry forces driving the trend and what the evidence really shows.

  • Food, Mood and the 2026 Wellness Trends to Watch!

    Food, Mood and the 2026 Wellness Trends to Watch!
    Dec 1 2025
    This week we’re unpacking the stories shaping long-term health, from the latest research on ultra-processed foods to the global rise in childhood blood pressure. We look at a major new study linking UPFs to early bowel polyps in women under 50, what the data actually shows and what practical changes matter day to day. We also explore why hypertension in children has almost doubled over the past twenty years, what’s driving the trend, and the small, realistic habits that help protect heart health from early life. Alongside the big stories, we dive into two smaller but fascinating pieces of research: how gallery visits can lower cortisol and inflammation, and why speaking more than one language might help slow biological ageing. We pick up on last week’s GLP-1 discussion with a thought-provoking piece from The Cut on emotional blunting, appetite and pleasure, and round things off with the seven wellness trends set to shape 2026 including bone health, creatine, fibre, tech boundaries, cellular health and infrared workouts.
