  • Love the Comedy and How REAL it feels

    Doesn’t try to be too shiny or slick. It appropriately represents the imperfection of health in the real world.

    Great hosts and guests, and I like the way the content is more focussed on things that are relevant in real life, rather than being about fads or unrealistic life optimisations

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can You Boost Your Immune System?
Q: Does wrapping children up warm actually reduce their chances of catching colds?
Potter says keeping warm might offer a small reduction in risk because body temperature affects nasal defenses, but the benefit is likely limited; dressing warmly can also improve comfort and reduce cold-related problems.
Can You Boost Your Immune System?
Q: Why do people get more colds in winter?
Potter points to cold air affecting nasal defenses, less effective mucus-clearing nasal hairs, dry indoor air, closer contact with other people, and viruses that replicate or survive better in colder conditions.
We Rank 20 Drinks from Healthy to Least Healthy | Caffeine, Sweeteners & Added Fibre
Q: So if I was dehydrated, would having this sachet of electrolytes in water be more effective of hydrating me than just drinking water?
Greg says electrolyte water helps the body retain more fluid than plain water, and adding sugar to water can produce a similar fluid-retention effect.
We Rank 20 Drinks from Healthy to Least Healthy | Caffeine, Sweeteners & Added Fibre
Q: So, removing the caffeine doesn't make it any healthier.
Greg says decaffeination may remove some beneficial compounds, making decaf marginally less healthy apart from caffeine reduction, which can benefit people sensitive to caffeine or its effects on sleep.
How to Stay Energised All Winter: Food, Exercise & the Habits That Help
Q: Is there something biological going on that makes us desire exercise less in winter, and what recommendations can help people exercise?
Potter says winter exercise progress is more likely to slow because someone exercises less or less intensely than because of an inevitable biological change. He recommends reducing barriers, preparing equipment in advance, using accountability, setting a new goal and finding an enjoyable indoor activity.
