    ADHD In Women Looks Nothing Like What You Were Taught - Olivia Drewery On Late Diagnosis, Masking & Finding Yourself

    This week on What The Health?! host Claira Hermet is joined by Olivia Drewery, the creator behind neurodiversing, co-founder of sensory friendly clothing brand Club Neuro, and one of the most honest and relatable voices in the neurodivergent community online. She was diagnosed with ADHD at 23 and autism at 24, and has since built a community of hundreds of thousands of people who finally feel seen because of the content she creates. Olivia talks us through what it actually felt like to grow up not knowing she was neurodivergent. She describes spending years masking, performing, and hiding the parts of herself that felt too much or not enough, and the sheer exhaustion of keeping that up day after day across school, university, work, and friendships. It is a description that will feel uncomfortably familiar to a lot of people listening. A year after her ADHD diagnosis, Olivia was also diagnosed with autism, and we talk about what that second diagnosis added to how she understood herself, how the two conditions overlap and interact, and why so many people are still being missed entirely. We get into sensory sensitivities, what they actually feel like day to day, and why something as seemingly simple as clothing can determine whether Olivia is able to get through the day at all.

    How I Survived a 60ft Wave and a Broken Back - Andrew Cotton on His Horrifying Surfing Accident and the Road to Recovery

    A 60ft wave, a mid-air fall, and a broken back. This is the story of the day big wave surfing nearly ended Andrew Cotton's career. In this episode presented by host Claira Hermet, Andrew relives the exact moment his line closed out at Nazaré, forcing him to bail and take a pounding that bounced him 40 feet through the air onto his back, fracturing his L2 vertebra. He talks us through the terrifying rescue on the beach, what those first days in hospital were actually like, and the long, uncertain road back to full fitness. We go right back to the beginning of Andrew's story too, including the point at 25 when he'd given up on surfing entirely and retrained as a plumber, before an unlikely turn saw him become one of the very first people to attempt Nazaré, alongside big wave pioneer Garrett McNamara. He explains what it actually felt like laying eyes on Nazaré for the first time, what it means to surf a wave category before it even officially existed, and how he trained his mind not to panic while dropping into some of the biggest, most unpredictable water on the planet. Three years after his accident, Andrew returned to paddle out at the exact same spot that broke his back and he tells us what that moment felt like, and what it took to get his body and head back to that point. We also dig into the wider world of big wave surfing: the physical toll it takes on the body year after year, how safety protocols and rules have evolved at spots like Nazaré, and whether funding in the sport is finally starting to catch up with the risk these athletes take on.

    This week we're asking why Britain has become a nation of runners, and whether it's really transforming our physical and mental health. First, host Claira Hermet is joined by model and dancer Scarlett Clarke to talk about living with Congenital Melanocytic Naevi (CMN), the rare skin condition she's been raising awareness of through her work with Caring Matters Now. Scarlett discusses growing up with CMN, the powerful Bare Your Birthmark campaign, seeing her photographs exhibited across London, and what it was like completing the London Landmarks Half Marathon. Later, former Team GB Olympian and 400m British record holder Iwan Thomas MBE joins Claira to discuss the UK's running boom, whether marathon fever has gone too far, the link between running and mental health, and his advice for anyone thinking about lacing up their trainers for the very first time.

    Am I Already Too Late? A Fertility Expert Answers The Question Millions Of Women Are Asking But Nobody Is Answering

    This week on What The Health?!, host Claira Hermet is joined by Dr James Hopkisson — one of the UK's leading fertility specialists, UK Medical Director at TFP Fertility, and a doctor who has been working in IVF and reproductive medicine since 1993. If you have ever Googled your fertility at midnight, wondered whether you have left it too late, or just wanted someone to give you straight answers without the sugar coating, this is the episode you have been waiting for. Millions of Brits worry they may already be too late to have children, yet three quarters have never once checked their fertility. Dr Hopkisson tells us how often the people who come to him convinced it is already over are actually wrong, what age fertility really starts to decline, and whether the biological clock is as dramatic and urgent as we have been led to believe or whether we are creating unnecessary panic in an entire generation of women. We get into the questions that everybody is searching but nobody is saying out loud. Does a regular period actually mean your fertility is fine? Does being physically fit and healthy protect you or can you be the picture of health and still struggle to conceive? What are the early warning signs that something might be worth looking into, for both women and men? And how often is fertility actually a male issue, and why are we still not talking about that enough? One in five people now see egg freezing as a financial milestone comparable to university or buying a home, and nearly half of women say the cost is the only thing stopping them. Dr Hopkisson breaks down who egg freezing is actually for, who it is not right for, what the real success rates look like versus what people assume, and the age at which it genuinely makes a difference versus the age at which it may no longer be worth pursuing. For anyone in their twenties or thirties who is thinking about having children in the next few years, Dr Hopkisson gives clear, practical guidance on what you should actually be doing right now. We talk about what a fertility MOT is, whether everyone should be getting one, and what it can and cannot tell you. And for anyone who has been trying to conceive and it is not happening, he tells us exactly when to stop waiting and go and speak to someone, and what that first conversation actually looks like.

    Pelvic Floor, Diastasis Recti, Hormones & Perimenopause - A Women's Health Coach Gets Brutally Honest

    This week on What The Health?!, host Claira Hermet sat down with Kim Modlinger-Ali, known to her worldwide community as Kimmy Fitness - personal trainer, pre and postnatal specialist, single mum of two, and one of the most refreshingly honest voices in women's health today. This episode covers everything the mainstream fitness world has been getting wrong about women's bodies, and everything your GP probably hasn't told you either. We talk about the snap back culture dominating social media and the very real damage it is doing to new mums who are already running on empty. We get into diastasis recti, the condition that affects the majority of women who have given birth and yet most have never heard of, what it actually is, how to check if you have it, and what happens if you leave it untreated. We talk about pelvic floor dysfunction, why it goes far beyond leaking when you sneeze, why it affects women of all ages, and why so many women are quietly living with it and assuming it's just part of life. Kim breaks down why so much of the fitness and nutrition advice women receive is based entirely on male physiology research and what actually changes when you start working with your body instead of against it. We talk about syncing your training and nutrition to your cycle, why your energy, strength, and recovery look completely different across the four phases of your month, and why understanding that could be the single biggest thing you do for your health this year. We also get into the conversations that are finally starting to happen around perimenopause and menopause and why women in their thirties need to be paying attention right now, not in ten years time. Kim shares what she sees most commonly draining women's energy, why so many of us have accepted chronic exhaustion as normal, and what small shifts in nutrition and movement can actually make a difference. For anyone who has ever been too scared to pick up a weight in case they bulk up, Kim puts that fear to rest once and for all. We talk about what your core is actually doing for you beyond aesthetics, why women are more prone to certain injuries than men and how to train in a way that protects your body long term, and how to handle the very real mum guilt that stops so many women from ever putting themselves first. This is also a conversation about identity, about the mental load of being a woman today, about what it means to be a single mum building a business and a community while still showing up for yourself.

    Your Questions, Answered: Gym Anxiety, Body Image, Bad Dates and Everything In Between

We get into mental wellbeing and the small daily habits that genuinely make a difference, the truth about meditation and whether it actually works if you're someone who can't sit still, and the relationship dilemmas that so many of you have been quietly dealing with. If you've been wondering how to get over the fear of walking into a gym for the first time, how to build genuine self confidence rather than the fake-it-till-you-make-it kind, how to navigate a relationship that's affecting your mental health, or simply how to feel more at home in your own body - your questions are answered!

    The Teenage Big Wave Surfer Who Went Viral - Plus Why Your Protein Obsession Might Be Making You Fatter

    This week on What the Health?!, host Claira Hermet sits down with Malakai Hagley, a 19 year old professional surfer from Devon who is quietly becoming one of the most talked about names in big wave surfing. After a video of him taking on one of Mullaghmore's biggest ever waves went viral, the messages came flooding in from some of the most famous athletes on the planet - including Kelly Slater himself. Trained by Andrew Cotty, Britain's leading big wave expert, Malakai talks about what it actually feels like to ride a wave at that size and speed, how he trains himself not to panic when everything goes wrong underwater, what a tow-in actually is and what happens when it doesn't go to plan. He also opens up about his ambitions for the World Surf League adult tour and the Olympics, and the very real funding challenges facing the next generation of big wave surfers in the UK. Then Claira is joined by Jo Travers, Harley Street nutritionist, dietician and author, known as The London Nutritionist. Jo is here to cut through the noise around the protein craze that has taken over social media and what she has to say might surprise you. From protein maxxing and the 200g a day trend, to why protein consumed at the wrong time can actually cause weight gain, to the risks of the carnivore and keto diets, Jo breaks it all down in a way that finally makes sense. She also gets into the protein supplement industry and why she doesn't recommend bars and shakes, what leucine is and why it matters so much after 50, and what a genuinely healthy breakfast actually looks like.
