Burnout, Partner Diet Drama & The Smoothie Myth

This week’s Q&A covers some of the most relatable health questions.

We talk about how to approach a partner’s diet when you’re worried but not being heard, what to prioritise in a teenage pescatarian diet, and why stress habits like chewing gum can be so hard to shift.

We also unpack the banana and berry smoothie myth, share simple ways to support insulin resistance, and explore what actually helps when recovering from burnout, plus whether ginger shots are worth it.

Recommendations:

  • The Morning Show on Apple TV
  • Warm salads in summer
  • Meditating with music. Rhi recommends Howard Shore and John Barry.
  • From listener Bryony: 1-2-3 Pancakes - 1 banana (mashed), 2 eggs, 3 tablespoons oats. Super easy, mixed together and fried.
  • Listener Kate says, 'don't pull up dandelions' as they provide food for insects and keep our environment healthy. She adds: 'We need to retrain our brains to see wild flowers as valuable plants, not weeds!'
  • Ella's book recommendation: 'Consider Yourself Kissed' by Jessica Stanley
