  • Please prepare...

    I look forward to this podcast every week and I love Nicola's vibe and authenticity. But I honestly don't understand how you can start a podcast and literally say three times, 'oh I can't remember that product/doctor etc' why not write it down before you start recording? If I went in to a work meeting without notes or preparing it would be rude to everyone else in the meeting. I hope you understand. I take my time to listen to your podcast, so why not take time to prepare for it? X

  • Great podcast very honest and funny

    Has been a joy to listen to listen to over the years, I feel like the format is constantly changing though with the episode themes and chats. I really like the beauty news piece but not sure on the faves each week…

    I hope this pod gets dome great partnerships this year and a live event too maybe!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Outspoken Beauty Editor - Hairloss 101 and The Great Autumn Hair Shed
Q: And I think that that isn't necessarily something many women consider. And I guess that must be an option for women as well, no?
Nouril says hair transplants can be an option for women experiencing significant hair loss, including traction alopecia, and recounts a journalist's positive experience.
The Outspoken Beauty Editor - Hairloss 101 and The Great Autumn Hair Shed
Q: But what next?
Nouril suggests allowing about three months for deficiencies found in blood tests to be addressed, then considering a trichologist if there is no improvement. She also describes a scalp assessment available at some Kerastase clinics.
Outspoken Health With Dr Anisha Patel -The Cancer Conversation Women Can't Afford to Ignore
Q: Can a woman get the HPV vaccine later in life to protect herself?
Patel explains that vaccination may be available to some eligible groups, but a person may already have encountered HPV after sexual contact. The vaccine still reduces risk, and she cites an 87% reduction in cervical cancer risk.
Anthea Turner - The Secrets to a Clean Home, a Richer Life and Showbiz Beauty Expectations
Q: How do you navigate that?
Turner says people have to set uncontrollable events aside to avoid becoming overwhelmed, while focusing on what they can control in their own lives.
Outspoken Health With Dr Anisha Patel -The Cancer Conversation Women Can't Afford to Ignore
Q: What causes cervical cancer?
Patel says 99% of cervical cancers are caused by human papillomavirus, which can spread through genital skin-to-skin contact. Vaccination and screening help prevent cancer by reducing HPV infection and identifying abnormal cells.
