The Health Review

We're spending billions on supplements, gut health, longevity tracking and biological age testing. And yet one of the most powerful windows into our overall health — one that's been right there the whole time — is something most of us think about for a few minutes a day. The mouth. In this episode of The Health Review I sit down with Dr Daniel Sutcliffe — founder of The Bespoke Dentist, one of Lon...

Most of us approach our health the same way. We get a symptom, we find a treatment, we manage the condition. What we rarely ask is why — why is the body doing this, what is it trying to tell us, and what would it mean to actually heal rather than just cope? In this episode of The Health Review I sit down with Lauren Vaknine — holistic health expert, author and chronic illness advocate whose own he...

We've all heard of the super agers — centenarians living well into their hundreds in the villages of Sardinia, the islands of Okinawa, regions of the world where reaching 100 in great health is almost the norm. Increasingly, longevity scientists believe that kind of lifespan could be within reach for many more of us — if we can fend off the age-related diseases that currently cut lives short. Near...

When did you last feel totally safe in your body? When did you last connect with yourself on a deep level? For most of us, those questions sound almost foreign — and that, according to today's guest, is precisely the problem. In this episode of The Health Review I sit down with Suzy Reading — chartered psychologist, yoga teacher, coach and author of ten books, including her latest How to Be Selfis...

One in four adults in England is living with anxiety or depression. That's not a statistic from a bad year — it's the finding of the most rigorous long-term mental health survey in the world, and the trajectory has been heading in one direction for three decades. We are, by any measure, in a mental health crisis. And the treatments we have been relying on — antidepressants, talking therapies with...

Technology is doing something to us. Not just to our productivity or our sleep — but to our relationships, our identity, our capacity for genuine human connection. And most of us are only just beginning to understand the scale of it. In this episode of The Health Review I sit down with Dr Elaine Kasket — chartered counselling psychologist, cyberpsychologist, author of Reset: Rethinking Your Digita...

So many of us think we can't meditate. We've tried it, lasted forty seconds before the to-do list arrived in our mind, decided we were doing it wrong and never went back. But according to today's guest, that experience doesn't mean you failed at meditation. It means nobody taught you how to actually do it. In this episode of The Health Review I sit down with Jillian Lavender — one of the UK's lead...

Most of us are incredibly busy, but busyness and productivity are not the same thing...and somewhere in the hampster wheel of accumulating more, achieving more and doing more, a lot of us have lost the thread back to ourselves. In this episode of The Health Review I sit down with Simon Alexander Ong — life coach, keynote speaker and bestselling author of Energize, published by Penguin and winner o...

The wellness industry is worth nearly $7 trillion. There are supplements for everything, gadgets for everything, protocols for everything. But how much of it actually works — and how much is just very convincing marketing? Nobody is better placed to answer that than today's guest. Eleanor Hoath is a registered nutritional therapist, wellness editor, writer and founder of The Well Edit — a research...

Under extreme stress, the human body prioritises survival over logical thinking. Pilots have been known to shut down the wrong engine during a fire — not because they're incompetent, but because their nervous system took over before their rational mind could catch up. Sound familiar? In this episode of The Health Review I sit down with Michael Faulkner — CEO of NKD, one of the UK's leading corpora...

96% of UK adults don't meet the recommended daily fibre intake. Folate deficiency is widespread. And millions of people are taking GLP-1 medications without any nutritional support. We have more information about food than ever before — and yet most of us are not living optimally. In this episode of The Health Review I sit down with Dr Federica Amati — medical scientist, registered public health n...

Most of us spend years trying to improve ourselves. But what if the problem was never who you are — it was the wounds you've been carrying without even knowing it? In this episode of The Health Review I sit down with Soulla Demetriou — author of You Have Always Been Enough, trauma-informed somatic and transformational coach, and founder of Soulshine Retreats. Soulla's work blends Internal Family S...

Most of us are walking around in a state of low-level overwhelm. Not in crisis.... just never quite fully off. Always runing slightly behind, slightly rushed, slightly on edge. If that sounds familiar — this conversation is for you. In this episode of The Health Review I sit down with Dr Shaady Harrison — a British medical doctor trained at King's College London, who has worked across the NHS in g...

GLP-1 medications. Ultra-processed foods. A nation that's eating more but nourishing itself less. Rob Hobson has spent over 20 years in nutrition — and in this conversation, we're not holding back. In this episode of The Health Review, I sit down with Rob Hobson — registered nutritionist, sports nutritionist, founder of RH Nutrition and author of Unprocess Your Life and Unprocess Your Family Life....

Methylation. Leaky gut. MTHFR. Biological age. Functional testing. Peptides. These words are everywhere in health and wellness right now — but what do they actually mean, who are they relevant for, and how should they be approached? In this episode of The Health Review, I sit down with Dr Jean-Marc Sobczyk from HOOKE clinic in London— a physician dual-trained in both conventional and naturopathic...

Longevity medicine, mitochondrial health, methylation testing, peptides, hormones, gut health — but why do so many people doing "all the right things" still feel flat, foggy, and far from themselves? In this episode of The Health Review, I sit down with Dr Ash Kapoor (MRCGP), founder of Levitas Clinic and a longevity and human optimisation physician with over 30 years of clinical experience. This...

What if healing the body isn’t only about protocols, supplements, and lifestyle — but also about energy and spirituality? And how do we explore that idea? In this episode, I’m joined by Emilie Weston, lead practitioner at Sun Kyeong London, who shares her personal journey from living with ME (chronic fatigue syndrome) and trying countless wellness approaches… to discovering Sun Kyeong — a South Ko...

If you feel like your attention is getting worse — and your brain is constantly “on” — you’re not imagining it. In this episode of The Health Review, neuroscientist Anne-Sophie Fluri (founder of Brainwave) explains how AI and constant digital stimulation are reshaping our brains, and what we can do to protect focus, motivation and mental resilience. We break down what mental fitness actually means...

We all say we’re “just checking something.” And then suddenly it’s 40 minutes later. If you feel like you can’t stop scrolling, struggle to focus, or reach for your phone the moment you feel bored, stressed or uncomfortable — you’re not alone. In this episode of The Health Review, I sit down with Colin Corby, also known as The Digital Detox Coach, to explore what constant digital stimulation is do...

Chronic stress has become so normal that many of us no longer recognise when our nervous system is stuck in survival mode. If you feel wired but exhausted, struggle to switch off, experience poor sleep, anxiety, or constant overwhelm, the issue may not be mindset — it may be nervous system dysregulation. In this episode of The Health Review, Emily speaks with Jane Ollis — medical biochemist, envir...

We’re living in a world our bodies were never designed for — microplastics, environmental chemicals, chronic stress, and constant stimulation. So what does detox really mean in 2026? In this fascinating and forward-looking conversation, I’m joined by Alanna Kit — co-founder of Arc Community and a PhD researcher in behavioural and cognitive neuroscience — who is working at the cutting edge of integ...

Chronic symptoms. Normal test results. And the phrase no one wants to hear: “It’s all in your head.” In this episode of The Health Review, I’m joined by health psychologist and psychotherapist Dr Sula Windgassen, author of It's All In Your Body, to explore what’s really happening when symptoms like IBS, fatigue, chronic pain, bladder issues and burnout persist — even when doctors can’t find clear...

Chinese medicine is no longer on the fringes. In 2026, practices like acupuncture, acupressure and gua sha are firmly in the mainstream — with more people in the West turning to them to manage stress, burnout, digestive issues and chronic tension. But why now? And is there real science behind a healing system that’s more than 2,500 years old? In this episode of The Health Review, I’m joined by Kat...

In this episode of The Health Review, I’m joined by Rhian Stephenson, founder of ARTAH, to explore how wellness is evolving — and why so many people are stepping away from rigid health routines in favour of a more intuitive, sustainable approach. Rhian is a nutritional therapist, naturopath and herbalist with years of clinical experience, as well as a former CEO of one of the UK’s leading fitness...

What if improving your gut health, mood, energy, skin, and weight didn’t require restriction, tracking, or cutting out foods — but simply adding more of one often-overlooked nutrient? In this episode of The Health Review, I’m joined by Kristen Stavridis, a leading nutritionist and author of The Fibre Fix, to explore why fibre may be one of the most powerful — and misunderstood — nutrients in moder...
