    “Bigger Bodies Aren’t ‘Before’ Bodies”: Emma Tamsin Hill on Body Confidence, Fitness & Self-Love

    This week, Claira is joined by Emma Tamsin Hill, founder of The All Body Club, to talk body image, strength, fitness, diet culture, confidence and learning to feel good in the body you’re in. Emma shares how she went from feeling insecure about her body and initially joining the gym to lose weight, to falling in love with movement and shifting her focus from being skinny to being strong. She talks about embracing body neutrality, why you don’t have to love your body every single day, and how fitness became as much about her mental wellbeing as her physical health. They explore why society still struggles with the idea that someone can be both fat and fit, why the fitness industry often treats bigger bodies as “before” bodies, and the pressure women face as different body types move in and out of fashion. Emma also opens up about online hate, the return of thinness as a beauty ideal, GLP-1 weight-loss drugs and why being confident in a bigger body can feel like a statement in itself. Emma also shares the story behind The All Body Club, her inclusive wellness community helping people build sustainable relationships with movement and nutrition without toxic diet culture. She explains why lasting change doesn’t happen overnight and why finding movement you actually enjoy can change everything.

    “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.

    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.
