    “I Couldn’t Give Blood, So I Found Another Way” – René Wong on Recovery, Resilience and Running Hills

    This week, Claira is joined by René Wong, founder of Hills Pay the Bills Run Club, to talk about recovery, running, grief, community and giving back. Renee shares what happened after a serious motorbike accident in 2014 left him with life-changing injuries and in need of blood transfusions, and how discovering he could no longer donate blood himself inspired him to find another way to make an impact. He talks openly about both the physical and emotional challenges of recovering in hospital, losing his independence and learning to use movement as part of his recovery. René tells us how he went from being someone who never saw himself as a runner to building a running community centered around challenging yourself and supporting others. René also shares how losing his uncle inspired the creation of Hills Pay the Bills, why running became a way of processing grief, and how the club has grown into a community built around connection and shared experiences. He also talks about his 31-day July running challenge, which saw him run a very hilly 10k every day to raise awareness of blood donation and support NHS Blood and Transplant. Later on in the show, Claira also speaks to Kirsty Thomson, Head of NHS Blood and Transplant Charity, to learn why blood donations are more important than ever.  Guests: René Wong.

    Nana Crawford on Finding Confidence Through Movement and Her Love of Samba

    This week, Claira is joined by Nana Crawford, founder of JiggleFiTT, to talk about finding confidence through movement, reconnecting with her body and her love of Samba.  Nana shares how at the start of her journey, she was disconnected from her body and thought that the only way to keep fit was to go running or to go to the gym. But during lockdown, she discovered Samba and launched herself into online classes, posting online at the same time to hold herself accountable. What started as a personal fitness journey has since grown into a community of more than 200,000 people, with JiggleFiTT creating spaces for people of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds to move, have fun and celebrate their bodies. Nana tells us about dealing with hateful comments about her body, the importance of representation and curating the content and spaces around you, and how learning what her body was capable of helped her develop a more loving relationship with herself. She also explains why confidence doesn't mean feeling great every day and why self-love can be found in small acts of showing up for yourself. Guests: Nana Crawford, founder of JiggleFit.

    Love Is Blind UK's Yasmin Toseafa on Vitiligo and Learning to Love the Skin You’re In

    This week, Claira is joined by Yasmin Toseafa, model, Miss Universe Great Britain finalist and star of the third season of Love Is Blind UK, to talk about her experience of living with vitiligo and the impact it had on her self-confidence. She shares how she went from hiding her vitiligo for years to embracing it openly, and tells us how seeing other people with the condition represented in the media, such as Winnie Harlow, helped her realise that a different way of living was possible. She also talks about the decision to go on Love Is Blind UK, becoming more comfortable with vulnerability, and why taking chances and refusing to count yourself out can be so powerful. After the break, we speak to Dr Amit Patel, a visually impaired activist, former trauma doctor and father, who joins Claira to talk about Guide Dogs' First Hello campaign. The pilot scheme transforms standard 20-week ultrasound scans into lifelike 3D tactile sonograms, giving blind and visually impaired parents and loved ones the opportunity to experience and connect with an ultrasound image through touch. Amit shares his own emotional experience of receiving a tactile sonogram of his son, and explains why accessibility is about more than technology - it's about making sure people aren't left on the sidelines of important moments in their own lives.

    How to Stay Healthy Without Giving Up the Food You Love. Plus: Why Everyone’s Obsessed With Padel

    This week we're asking whether living a healthier life really means giving up the foods we love and how we can make eating well feel more realistic, enjoyable and sustainable. Claira Hermet is joined by Dr Saima Ajaz, clinical director at Harley Longevity Clinic, to talk about why people of South Asian heritage can be at higher risk of type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease and cardiovascular problems, and the role genetics and lifestyle play. She tells us why that doesn’t necessarily mean that South Asian food needs to be taken off the menu. She explains how simple changes to portions and preparation can make a difference, without losing the cultural connection that makes food so important. We continue the conversation with chef Mehak Kansal, founder of Bindas Eatery. She tells us about her own health transformation and the process of completely rethinking her relationship with food. She discusses learning to make healthier choices without depriving herself of the flavors of her heritage, the emotional connection to food, and how to become more conscious of what we're eating.  Later on in the show, we turn to Padel; the world’s fastest growing sport. Team GB padel player Nikhil Mohindra joins Claira to explain how he went from discovering the sport at his local leisure club to competing at elite level. He also talks to us about why he thinks padel has become such a phenomenon and why its accessibility and emphasis on fun makes it a great way to get moving. He also shares what he's learned about mindset from playing alongside sporting legends including Cristiano Ronaldo and John Terry.

    Carnivore Diet: Does Eating Only Meat Really Improve Your Health? We Ask @SteakAndButterGal

    Is the carnivore diet actually healthy - or is social media getting ahead of the science? On this episode of What the Health?!, host Claira Hermet gets into one of the most controversial and talked-about diets online: the carnivore diet. The all-meat, animal-product diet has exploded in popularity, with advocates claiming it can improve everything from blood sugar and inflammation to skin, energy and overall wellbeing. But with fruit, vegetables, grains and other plant foods completely removed, questions remain around fibre, essential nutrients, red and processed meat, and potential long-term health risks. Claira is joined by Isabella Ma, better known online as @SteakAndButterGal, who previously followed a vegan diet before switching to carnivore. She explains what she eats in a typical day, why she made the dramatic change, the benefits she believes she has experienced, and how she responds to concerns about nutrition and long-term health. We also ask the questions people might be too embarrassed to ask, including what happens to your bowel movements when you eat an almost entirely animal-based diet! Then, with Hair Loss Awareness Month taking place in August, Claira speaks to leading trichologist Marie-Royce Book about the growing number of younger people experiencing hair loss and thinning hair. They discuss genetics, stress, lifestyle, supplements, rosemary oil, scalp massages, modern hair-loss treatments and when you should seek professional advice. Plus, Claira answers your fitness and wellness questions, from starting your fitness journey and breaking the cycle of exercise as punishment, to exercising while working from home, dealing with grief and finding a new hobby as an adult.

    “I Couldn't Get Out of Bed for SIX Weeks”: Champion Surfer Lucy Campbell on Burnout, Prioritising Rest and Learning to Slow Down

    This week we're asking what happens when our drive to push ourselves goes too far, and whether we need to rethink our relationship with rest, recovery and our bodies. Claira Hermet is joined by eight-time national women's surfing champion Lucy Campbell to talk about building a career in professional surfing, the changing landscape for women in the sport, and the pressure female surfers face around their appearance. Lucy opens up about experiencing severe burnout in 2024, the self-doubt and chronic fatigue that preceded it, spending six weeks unable to get out of bed, and how the experience completely changed her relationship with rest and recovery. She also discusses learning to listen to her body, making space for gentler forms of exercise, and why she wants more women to see sport as something they can do for fun, rather than something they have to be good at.

    The Power of Showing Up: How Finding Your Community Can Change the Way We Feel About Fitness

    This week on What The Health?! host Claira Hermet is joined by Minreet Kaur, award winning journalist and founder of Asian Women Run. She shares the story of how running transformed her life; and how her mum’s battle with blood cancer inspired her to help hundreds of other women discover the power of movement.  Minreet tells us how she went from someone who never really enjoyed exercise, to becoming someone who now can’t imagine life without it. She explains how it was it was her mum who got her to running during lockdown, and how that shared passion led to the creation of Asian Women Run - a run club built to encourage and support more women, particularly within the South Asian community, to get active without fear, judgement, or the pressure to be the fastest. Claira and Minreet explore why so many people feel intimidated by exercise, how community and representation can make all the difference, and why movement doesn’t have to be about personal bests or competition - sometimes it’s just about putting one foot in front of the other. Up next: Clara puts herself to the test as she joins the Get Up and Get It Done community for one of their gruelling group workouts. Founded by Sanchez Brown, the group is built around bringing people together to push themselves hard! Will Claira survive the workout? Expect sweat, sore muscles, questionable life choices, and a reminder that sometimes the hardest part of exercise is simply showing up.
