Exciting news - pre-order my debut book  https://linktr.ee/HealthySBTH?utm_source=linktree_profile_share Most of us are far kinder to strangers than we are to ourselves. We offer warmth, patience, and understanding to everyone around us, and yet when we struggle, we reach for the harshest possible voice. Why is that? And more importantly, what can we do about it? This week on Live Well Be Well, we...

Why does it still feel stigmatised to talk about sex, even when sexual norms are more open than ever?

Do you ever wonder why both men and women can end up prioritising the man? In this conversation, I’m looking at how that dynamic shows up in real life, and why it matters for both men and women. This clip explores the idea that prioritising the man is not just something men expect, but something women can reinforce too, often without realising it.

Very few of us have actually looked at the evidence. We talk about gut health, hormones, sleep, and stress. But there's one part of our sexual lives that almost nobody is talking about honestly, and it might be quie...

The tight chest. The 3am wake-ups. The gut that never quite settles. Most of us have been quietly living with these signs for years, chalking them up to a busy life or just the...

Have you ever wondered why sexual education rarely talks about variety? It’s often treated as a topic we skip over, even though it can be a key part of a healthy, enjoyable sex life and better communication with your partner. This clip explores why doing the same thing every time can become limiting, and why introducing variety matters. Sarah discusses how this is something many people are never t...

Most women were never taught how to talk about sex — not really — and a therapist with over 35 years of couples work makes one thing clear: faulty communication has contributed to every single relationship problem she has ever seen, without exception.

Most women were never taught the most basic, scientifically supported thing they can do for their own wellbeing — and the shame around that silence is doing real damage. In this clip, Dr. Laurie Mintz, sex therapist and researcher, shares the study showing that 93% of women who had never experienced orgasm became orgasmic with one straightforward intervention — and why that statistic has been hidi...

Most women have heard of creatine — but only as something for gym bros loading up before a workout. What the sports science research actually shows is that creatine monohydrate may be one of the most important supplements for women navigating perimenopause, brain fog, gut issues, and mood changes — and almost no one is talking about it outside of performance circles. This clip breaks down exactly...

Most of us can list our values on demand — family, health, kindness — but do we actually live by them? This clip introduces the Saturday Test, a deceptively simple tool from relationship psychology: where you spend your free time and discretionary money on a Saturday reveals your true values far more accurately than anything you'd write in a journal. If you've ever wondered why your relati...

We're living in a $150 billion supplement industry, where every scroll through social media tells you you're missing something. A pill for your gut, your sleep, your hormones, your brain. It's exhausting. And more often than not, people are spending real money on things they can't fully explain, chasing solutions to problems they haven't properly diagnosed. As a nutritionist, these are the questio...

Science confirms that happiness comes in 15-minute bursts, and the relentless pursuit of permanent calm is the very thing driving burnout in high-achieving women. You'll also discover the simple eig...

You're not exhausted because you're bad at managing stress — you're exhausted because modern life is designed to bankrupt your body's energy budget, and hormonal transitions like perimenopause make it exponentially harder to recover. Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett explains why fight-or-flight doesn't work the way you've been told, why fatigue is often confused for hunger, and wha...

In a world where confidence travels faster than evidence, it can feel almost impossible to know who to believe. This week on Live Well Be Well, I’m joined again by the brilliant Dr. Gemma Newman. Gemma is a GP, author, and deeply thoughtful voice in the wellness space, known...

You're in your mid-30s, gaining weight, losing sleep, and foggy in a way no amount of coffee fixes — and your doctor handed you an antidepressant. What if it wasn't stress, anxiety, or lack of discipline? What if it was perimenopause, starting years earlier than anyone told you? This clip breaks down the real biology behind "tired but wired," gut microbiome changes, and why brain...

Do you speak to yourself as kindly as you would to a friend? We examine how harsh inner voices are often carried from childhood and how a kinder stance can help when you mess up. This clip explores naming and dismissing that internal critic, the role of the ‘super ego’, the limits of relying on a motivational whip, the creative costs of self-censorship, and why our biology makes criticism stick, e...
