The Manosphere and Looksmaxxing
This weekend was all about the Manosphere after I watched Louis Theroux's documentary Inside the Manosphere and read Jack Burke's piece in The Times on Looksmaxxing. Both of these phenomena focus on male-dominated online spaces that veer to the far right with extreme misogynistic and anti-feminist sentiments. They are two pieces of media that really made me think and I've unpicked, in part, why in my latest Substack, which you can subscribe to and read here.I would absolutely love to know what you think - please do go to the comments section and share your thoughts.Hey!

This is What's Wrong with the Beauty Industry...
If you subscribe to my Substack (I love you!) then you would have seen my column about how wellness messaging on products has, in my opinion, gone too far. We are all entitled to create a spa-like experience in our own home but it's my belief that brands latching the benefits of their products onto you taking a moment to yourself is really quite disingenuous. In this episode, I explain why it got me so riled and why we should expect better of brands.If you've been here a while then you'll know I am often vague when making a point about something contentious. I don't name names and I'm not interested in starting a fight with anyone. However, I break my own rule in this episode when it comes to the lack of reciprocity in podcasting. I was talking to a fellow OG podcaster (someone who also has 10 plus years of podcasts to their name) and we were saying how disappointing it is when you share your platform with someone and they seem indifferent and don't support you back...Plus. there's a short but sweet update on my fitness and nutrition strategy. Short and sweet because I'm wondering whether too much focus on it is as helpful as I think it is...Speaking of, this is the episode of Ready To Talk I mentioned in the show.Please do chat with me and your fellow listeners over on Substack. I'd love to hear your thoughts.EG xxHey! Why not share your thoughts and insights to make your listening experience even better.

Hormone Havoc: Cutting Through the Noise Around Women’s Health with Dr Amy Shah
A little white ago I stepped away from conversations about hormones, perimenopause and menopause on this podcast.Not because women’s health stopped being important, for from it! It was because the conversation became louder, more crowded and, for many women, more confusing than helpful. Conflicting advice, competing experts and endless rules have left many of us wondering what actually matters, and what we should actually do day to day to feel better.In this episode, I’m joined by physician and bestselling author Dr. Amy Shah to discuss her new book, Hormone Havoc. Rather than another conversation focused solely on treatment or supplements, we talk about the practical, everyday habits that support women through perimenopause, menopause and beyond.We explore how hormones intersect with modern life, why midlife can feel uniquely overwhelming, and how small, consistent changes around nutrition, sleep, movement and recovery can make a meaningful difference.This is a calmer, clearer conversation about a stage of life that doesn’t need to be feared, it just needs to be understood.In This EpisodeWhy women feel more confused about hormones than everPerimenopause as a gradual hormonal transition rather than a sudden eventThe impact of modern stress and midlife responsibilitiesMoving from dieting culture to strength and longevityDr Shah’s 30–30–3 approach:30g protein in your first meal30g fibre per day3 servings of probiotic foodsGut health and hormone regulationUltra-processed foods and metabolic healthGLP-1 medications; benefits, realities and cautionsSleep, circadian rhythm and the importance of darknessAlcohol, ageing and brain healthWhy menopause can mark a powerful new phase of lifeAbout My GuestDr. Amy Shah is a double board-certified physician specialising in integrative medicine and nutrition. She is the bestselling author of I’m So Effing Tired, I’m So Effing Hungry, and Hormone Havoc, which explores how modern lifestyles influence women’s hormones and how evidence-based daily habits can support healthier ageing.If this episode resonated with you, follow the podcast so you never miss future conversations like this one.

Is taking collagen a waste of your time and money?
The question I think I'm asked most when it comes to beauty these days is, 'should I be taking collagen?' It sells a good story, doesn't it? Take this daily supplement and all that collagen and youthfulness we're told starts to deteriorate after we hit 30, will be topped up and wrinkles, jowls and sagging will have a much harder time showing up on your skin. It's all great but where's the proof? Just because we begin to lose our collagen stores as we age, doesn't mean eating or drinking collagen will do the job we think it will. In fact, whenever I have been asked whether collagen is something worth taking, my response has been 'it can't do any harm, but no derm I've spoken to says there's a direct and proven link so, for me, the jury's out'. Until now...In this episode, I chat with Maxine Laceby from Absolute Collagen who took a big risk by putting collagen through a gold standard double blind placebo clinical trial. A trial where neither the participants or the researchers know who is receiving the active treatment versus an inactive placebo. This kind of trial is accepted by medicine as objective scientific methodology that produces knowledge untainted by bias. Essentially, if the trial had said there was no proof of collagen's efficacy, Maxine would have completely torpedoed her brand. However, the results were compelling and she details them in this episode.We also discuss the newest collagen she has created, Pro Sculpt, designed specifically for people on a 'rapid weight loss journey' in the era of GLP-1s but, as you'll hear, it seems to me that this particular collagen is as relevant to someone on a strength training/body recomp journey as much as it is for people using weight loss jabs.Let me know what you think. Have you been taking collagen in the 'hope' it works and has this conversation convinced you that your money has been well spent, or are you now going to bite the bullet and try collagen to see if you can notice the difference?Absolute Collagen Sculpt Pro.Absolute Collagen Hair Pro.If you have thoughts, feelings or questions about this episode, please do share them over on Substack.Hey!
