    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.

    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.
