  • "11 foods to avoid to slim down for summer" & the Loneliness Epidemic
    In this week’s episode, we’re unpacking the return of restrictive headlines — starting with The Telegraph’s “11 foods to avoid if you want to slim down for summer.” We break down what these kinds of lists get wrong, why they’re still everywhere, and how food swaps can either empower or shame, depending on the lens. We also explore the news that WeightWatchers has filed for bankruptcy, what it says about the end of calorie-counting culture, and how new weight-loss pills are changing the conversation from habits to hormones. Then we turn to Spain’s bold new school food policy — banning ultra-processed snacks and requiring fruit, vegetables and fish at every school meal. Should the UK follow? Plus, new data from CALM reveals a loneliness epidemic among young adults — right as AI-powered “companions” go mainstream. We ask whether virtual support is helping or making things worse. And in this week’s trend check: is psyllium husk really the “natural Ozempic” — or just good fibre marketing? Recommendations: Good Enough by Dr Tara Porter - a good reminder for us to stop trying to be perfect! Don’t forget — The Wellness Scoop Live is happening June 14th at Cadogan Hall.

  • The Extra Scoop: The Truth About Glucose Monitors
    Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) have exploded in popularity, promising everything from weight loss to personalised health insights — but are they really delivering? To help us make sense of the science, we’re joined by Dr. Javier González, Professor of Nutrition and Metabolism at the University of Bath. Javier recently co-authored a study exploring how CGMs impact non-diabetic adults, and found that they might be giving misleading feedback and even encouraging unhelpful dietary choices. In This Episode, We Cover: Blood sugar 101  What CGMs are and how they work The key findings from Dr. González’s recent study Common myths and misconceptions about glucose tracking. Are CGMs actually beneficial for people without diabetes? The risks of relying too heavily on health tech Simple, science-backed strategies for managing blood sugar — without a monitor Live Show Tickets - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cadoganhall.com/whats-on/the-wellness-scoop-with-ella-mills-and-rhiannon-lambert/⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Bikini Bodies, Sugar Cravings and Thriving over Rotting
    In this week’s episode, we’re taking a closer look at the sneaky side of nutrition—starting with hidden sugar. From yoghurt and oat milk to savoury sauces and baby food, we reveal just how much sugar is lurking in everyday items—and why it's so hard to spot on the label. Weight loss jabs like Ozempic and Mounjaro are still dominating headlines, but behind the hype lies a deeper conversation about self-worth, body image, and how 90s diet culture continues to shape our thinking. We share a powerful reflection from Elizabeth Day on the inner critic, societal pressure, and what true body neutrality looks like in 2025. We also break down the latest ultra-processed food research, including shocking new stats on early death risk. Are UPFs as dangerous as the data suggests—and what can we actually do about it? Plus, the baby food pouch scandal has reignited debate about infant nutrition. We unpack the findings, the marketing spin, and why transparency is urgently needed in this space. Elsewhere, Rhi reveals the surprising truth about plastics in activewear, Ella shares her take on the “bed rotting” trend, and we answer a listener question on the best ways to cook your veg without losing nutrients. Reccomendations: Crash Diets Don’t Work - listen to Rhi's excellent reminder in the ep Weight loss jabs and the struggle for self-acceptance - a fascinating article from Elizabeth Day's Substack Email your MP via the Save The Children website to help protect foreign aid, urgently needed by mothers and newborn children across 12 countries.

  • The Extra Scoop: Collagen and the Supplement Boom
    Supplements are everywhere — from collagen to magnesium, creatine and ashwagandha -  how much of it is science, and how much is just smart marketing? In this short conversation, we’re cutting through the confusion and breaking down what really matters when it comes to supplements and nutrition. To help us unpack it all, we’re joined by Dr. Karan Rajan, NHS surgeon and online educator known for busting medical myths with science and clarity. He shares expert insights into what’s worth taking, what to avoid, and how to navigate the ever-expanding world of supplements with confidence. In This Episode, We Cover: Whether a balanced diet is enough — or if most of us actually need supplements What collagen is and whether it really delivers on the hype The most beneficial supplements, and who can benefit most Whether more is better when it comes to supplementing Red flags, myths, and common misconceptions to watch out for The science behind trending supplements like ashwagandha, creatine, magnesium, and collagen Three science-backed tips for supporting your nutrition without the overwhelm Live Show Tickets - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cadoganhall.com/whats-on/the-wellness-scoop-with-ella-mills-and-rhiannon-lambert/⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Reversing Inflammation, Power Naps & The Fall of Weight Watchers/Diet Culture
    In this week’s episode of The Wellness Scoop, we’re diving into some of the biggest shifts and studies shaping the future of health and wellness. We look at a powerful new study showing how switching to a traditional diet for just two weeks can reduce inflammation and boost immunity — without supplements or complex protocols. It’s part of a growing movement back to simpler, seasonal, plant-forward eating. We also explore the link between high blood pressure and dementia risk. A large-scale trial found that addressing cardiovascular health in midlife — through medication and lifestyle changes — could reduce dementia risk by 15%. We break down what that means in practical terms. WW (formerly WeightWatchers) is reportedly heading for bankruptcy, and it’s raising big questions about the future of diet culture. With the rise of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, we’re seeing a shift toward science-backed, compassionate health strategies that move away from guilt, tracking, and restriction. Rhi brings back a fascinating study on daytime napping and brain health — showing that a short daily nap may help slow brain ageing and preserve brain volume. Plus, we look at the wellness trends forecast for 2025 — from high-protein breakfasts and mastic gum to brain flossing, okra water, and metabolic tracking tools. What’s worth paying attention to, and what’s just another layer of over-optimising? Recommendations: Batch-cooking quinoa!
