Modern Wellness Podcast

It’s the last Monday episode of the series before we break for the summer! First up... would you go for a run on a date? The rise of the “wellness date” reflects a deeper redefinition of modern romance. As dating app fatigue sets in, an entire generation is craving more honest interactions—and a shared breathwork class, a yoga session, or a guided meditation for two often reveals far more than an hour of polite conversation over drinks.

Next up… tap water. It’s a controversial topic in the wellness industry. Are you happy to plug straight from the tap or are you firmly filtered? The team dig in to the stats to uncover what really is going on, and should we really be worried about how much water we’re drinking rather than the quality of the water itself?

And in Trending, Adrienne is looking at tinned fish. Whilst we covered the Sardine Diet earlier in the series, and did not advise that level of fish consumption, as a part of a balanced diet the stats really do not lie. There’s no denying the vibe for tinned fish has changed from world war rations to east London hipster, but will you be cracking open a can yourself?

It’s not often we get to experience something truly groundbreaking. Sammi has experienced Shiftwave first-hand and in his words “this is one of the most impactful recovery and performance technologies I’ve experienced.”

Shiftwave regulates the autonomic nervous system using powerful, pulsed pressure wave technology. Today Sammi's joined by co-founder Mike North, PhD to dive into the science behind the extraordinary Shiftwave and the incredible journey of bringing this technology to market.

Built in a lab by Shiftwave’s team of scientists, efficacy sits at the heart of this recovery and performance technology. It’s used by some of the world’s most elite athletes and high performers, as well as on the front line in war zones to supporting people with trauma.

From how we need to change our thinking about nervous system regulation, to just how vital measurement is to changing the world, this conversation is a wide ranging deep dive into truly cutting edge tech.

We start today with Balenciaga's latest move in ultra-lux athleisure. Its new TechWear line, debuting as part of the Fall 2026 collection titled “Body & Being.”, melds sport, technology and the House’s legacy of savoir-faire, the line is engineered as a direct response to today’s wellness-focused lifestyles and health-conscious rituals. But with jackets costing upwards of two and a half THOUSAND pounds, the team ask, who is this for really?

And next up, with the World Cup well and truly reaching fever pitch, especially after the weekend's results (did the team predict correctly?), we look at what the world cup means for business. Come on England!

With our focus on the Oral Microbiome in this week's episode, we thought for our Wednesday bonus we'd look back to our episode with Dr Megan Rossi, queen of the Gut Microbiome where she joined Adrienne to discuss the current state of gut health testing and its potential, explaining the nuances and limitations of commercial gut health tests.

Dr Megan Rossi (PhD, RD) founded The Gut Health Doctor in 2017 with a dream to empower everyone to take control of their health. As a scientist and practising clinician, she became frustrated that the ground-breaking research from her team and other colleagues around the world wasn’t reaching the public. Instead, dangerous myths and fads shared online were negatively impacting on the wellbeing of her patients.

Her new business Smart Strains aims to revolutionise how people understand and use live bacterial supplements. Through this game-changing range, she is empowering everyone to care for themselves and their families, providing the right strain, at the right time, in the right way – and only when you need it. With an award-winning PhD in probiotics and a family of products that use only the strains backed by international health bodies, Dr Megan Rossi is bringing credibility and clarity back to live bacterial supplements.

We start with the news that the UK health and fitness sector has achieved record growth, with reports showing a record 12.2 million people over the age of 16 are now members of a health and fitness club in the UK.

Then we turn to gains. The explosive “protein-maxxing” consumer trend and massive demand from GLP-1 weight-loss users has caused a severe global whey protein shortage.

And lastly, in Trending, Adrienne is discussing our Oral Hygiene.
