In this episode of Just As Well, Claire Sanderson and Gemma Atkinson are joined by menopause expert and Owning Your Menopause founder Kate Rowe-Ham to unpack how hormonal changes can amplify ADHD traits, brain fog, anxiety, overwhelm and emotional dysregulation in midlife. Kate shares her own late ADHD diagnosis alongside her experience of perimenopause, explaining why so many women feel dismissed, misdiagnosed or told they’re “just stressed” during this stage of life. Together, they explore the overlap between menopause, mental load and neurodiversity — and why understanding what’s happening in your body and brain is key to advocating for yourself. You’ll also hear practical, accessible advice on what actually helps: from tracking symptoms and navigating support, to lifestyle foundations like movement, strength training, nutrition and daily habits that support focus, mood and long-term health. Whether you’re in your late 30s, deep in perimenopause or post-menopause — and especially if you’re questioning ADHD or struggling to cope — this conversation will help you feel informed, validated and far less alone.

]]> 2336 no Candice Brathwaite: Activating 'Miss Trunchbull' Mode to Get Runs Done is a Form of Self Love https://shows.acast.com/goingforgoal/episodes/candice-brathwaite This is our final episode in a very special series - powered by Nike - where we’re exploring all the many wonderful things that running can do for you, via chats with inspiring women. Today’s seriously energising guest - bestselling author, content creator and erstwhile marathon runner Candice Brathwaite - recently picked up running again, albeit shorter distances on her home treadmill. She runs to access what she calls 'tension'. By that she means a type of controllable struggle that encourages personal growth in all areas of life, which - in her words - she just can't get from any other form of fitness. Candice also discusses learnings from writing her latest book, YA fiction debut, Cuts Both Ways and why, when it comes to helping her daughter and stepdaughter enjoy a healthy relationship with fitness, she's leading by example - rather than telling them what to do. Oh, and if you're looking for the pep talk you need to stop standing in your own way and actually action those healthy habits, Candice shares *exactly* what she tells herself to get the thing done. Candice is joined in the coaching clinic by Nike Run Coach and youth mentor Dora Atim (who we met in episode four) to get advice on how she can reach her number one running goal right now: to run a 5k in 25 minutes.

In today's episode, Roisín is joined by broadcaster-turned-start up founder Andrea McLean, whose newfound approach to navigating her life and goals offers a timely tribute to the 26.21 mile course that 40,000 people in London made their way around last weekend. Following breakdown and burnout in 2019, the former daytime TV star and mum-of-two left a decades-long career to retrain as a coach and create her own mindset community and app,This Girl is On Fire.

]]> 2799 no Dora Atim: Why I Founded a Trail Run Collective Exclusively for Black Women https://shows.acast.com/goingforgoal/episodes/dora-atim Hello! This season, powered by Nike, we're homing in on all things running. You can expect powerful stories from extraordinary women - guaranteed to spark your motivation this back-to-school season - plus plenty of expert tips and tactics.   In today's episode Roisín is joined by Nike Run Coach Dora Atim. As a teen, battling body dysmorphia, Dora never would have imagined that running would prove the conduit for finding self-acceptance and self-love. And yet, a decade later, she’s so passionate about the benefits of putting one foot in front of the other that - from run coaching to youth mentoring - much of her career is built around passing those benefits on.    Here she shares insights from that evolution, alongside the painful moment in summer 2020 that made her realise that - for many Black women and non-binary people to enjoy the nourishing power of rural areas - a community needed to be created. And how, with her trail running collective Ultra Black Running, she’s carved out a space for joy to thrive. In today's Coaching Clinic, Dora offers up answers to your personal running dilemmas.

This season, powered by Nike, we're homing in on all things running. You can expect tips and tactics from Nike run coaches to elevate your own running practice - or build one from scratch. Plus, powerful stories from extraordinary women guaranteed to spark your motivation this back-to-school season. For today’s guest, NHS mental health worker Intisar Abdul-Kader, running is a privilege and a joy. Especially so given the various barriers she’s faced on her way to running multiple World Marathon Majors races. She shares with Roisín how running enabled her to process her Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis - and continues to help her manage the chronic condition. She also explains how a destabilising incident of racist, Islamaphobic abuse while out running in 2020 has ultimately strengthened her resolve to show up - unapologetically - as a Black, hijabi runner. And encourage other women like her to lace up their trainers and access the transformative benefits that running - for whatever distance; at whatever speed - can bring. In today’s Coaching Clinic, Intisar is joined by Nike Run Coach Andi Goceva. She provides Intisar with all the tips she needs to smash her next big race.

Plus, powerful stories from extraordinary women - some familiar, some not so - guaranteed to spark your motivation this back-to-school season. In today's episode, Roisín is joined by journalist and author Ella Dove. Ella lost her lower right leg in a freak accident, aged just 25. The word ‘inspirational’ is seriously overused, but if any adjective characterises her journey since that day, it’s exactly that. Whatever your personal barrier to getting what you want out of your body, mind and life right now, you might just perceive it a little differently after listening to her story. In today's Coaching Clinic, Ella is joined by Nike Run Coach and top physiotherapist Manni Ovola. He arms her with the tools she needs to really go for her own running goals: to run more evenly and break through the 5k barrier.

Philips believe that hair removal should be a choice, and it looks different for everyone. If you do choose to remove your body hair, whether you prefer to take it all off or to tackle your legs, armpits or bikini line only, Philips has a range of hair removal tools to suit your needs. And on Mission Confidence, over four episodes and with the help of some very wise women, we’re going to be exploring confidence in its various facets and forms – with the goal of helping you tap into yours. On this final episode of Mission Confidence we’re looking specifically at ageless confidence with two women – one who’s 28, the other who’s 42 – who are both extremely passionate about the topic. They are Women’s Health editor-in-chief Claire Sanderson and three-time WH cover star and PT Alice Liveing. We discuss how confidence can evolve with age and experience – and how both women have noticed that, as they’ve gotten older, they’re better equipped to find confidence and strength from what’s inside – kindness, resilience, individuality, grit – rather than needing external validation to shore-up their self-esteem. Both seriously fit women discuss the confidence-fuelling power of a workout; why body hair, or the lack of it, doesn’t need to be a statement – and why using the Philips Lumea IPL device is a simple, pain-free solution for helping them achieve the smooth armpits and bikini line they, personally, prefer.   Join Alice Liveing on Instagram: @aliceliveing Join Claire Sanderson on Instagram: @clairesanderson Join Roisín Dervish-O’Kane on Instagram: @roisin.dervishokane https://www.instagram.com/roisin.dervishokane/ To find out more visit philips.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

If you do choose to remove your body hair, whether you prefer to take it all off or to tackle your legs, armpits or bikini line only, Philips has a range of hair removal tools to suit your needs. And on Mission Confidence, over four episodes and with the help of some very wise women, we’re going to be exploring confidence in its various facets and forms – with the goal of helping you tap into yours. Today we’re discussing the self-esteem-bolstering power of expressing yourself through fashion with Sonny Turner, a 22-year-old Birmingham-born model and body positivity advocate. Whether she’s stepping down the runway at NY fashion week or posing up a storm on her IG grid, you’ll know her as bold, confident and committed to sharing the message that women of all shapes and sizes should feel empowered to experiment with fashion and wear what they want, when they want. Here, Sonny reveals the body image wobbles she’s experienced over the course of the pandemic and how pulling together new outfits, and leaning into workouts, has helped her get excited about the unlocked summer ahead. She also shares how experimenting with the Philips Lumea at home IPL device is helping her get the smooth armpits she prefers – without irritation.

]]> 151 no So, You Can’t Train: Physiological and Psychological Guide to Injury Recovery https://play.acast.com/s/goingforgoal/so-youcan-ttrain-physiologicalandpsychologicalguidetoinjuryrecovery What things can you do to cope mentally and recover physiologically after injuring yourself while exercising? It’s a question that our acting digital editor Francesca Menato has sought answers to over the last year. She was training for her fourth - and hopefully fastest - marathon when she caught Covid-19, and the long-term effects on her lungs meant she wasn’t able to run for 12 weeks. Then, when she laced up her trainers once more and built up her fitness over six weeks for a 31-hour ultra relay, she found herself struck down again - this time with ITB syndrome and bursitis, and out of action for four months. She’s doing better now, and returned to shorter runs in early March, but dealing with that injury was tough. And she’s not alone - tonnes of you have got in touch to share your own experience of lockdown fitness set-backs. In today’s episode, we call on Dr Josie Perry, sports psychologist and founder of Performance In Mind, and Emmanuel Ovola, physiotherapist and Nike run coach. They discuss why so many people have become injured during training during the pandemic, the importance of dealing with the emotional fallout of not being able to stay active, as well as tips and tricks to get you actually doing those all-important rehab exercises.   Join Dr Josie Perry on Twitter: @Josephineperry Join Emmanuel Ovola on Twitter: @Manni_O Join Francesca Menato on Instagram: @ces_menato Join Women's Health UK on Instagram: @womenshealthuk Like what you’re hearing?

]]> 180 no Why You’re Procrastinating + How To Finally Conquer the Habit https://play.acast.com/s/goingforgoal/whyyou-reprocrastinating-howtofinallyconquerthehabit Have you been struggling, of late, to tick something - anything - off your to-do list? We’re right there with you - in the procrastination zone. A mental state we promise ourselves time and time again that we won’t slip back into. But, for many of us, changes to usual routines and motivations have been disrupted during the pandemic - with productivity taking a goal-busting nose-dive. Which is why, in this episode, rather than avoid the problem and hope it will go away, we’re tackling the issue of procrastination head-on – discussing the tools and techniques you can use to encourage yourself to be more productive and, ultimately, create more space for the good stuff. As you’ll learn, you’re not a procrastinator. You simply procrastinate - and we’re here to help you climb out of that habit so you can build more positive ones. Our guests this week are Dr Grace Lordan, associate professor in behavioural science at the London School of Economics and author of Think Big, and also Grace Beverley, founder of apparel brand TALA as well as workout app Shreddy, and author of Working Hard, Hardly Working. We discuss the most common triggers for procrastination, and how it can take different forms with different people. There’s also great points made about the counterproductive cult of busyness, and why comparing yourself to others in a similar professional space is a disaster for productivity – let alone happiness. Plus, there’s chat about finding your own hype man - or woman - why showing up for yourself in small increments is key and how to have respect for all those other elements of life the matter to you while still flourishing at work.

You eat well; you train hard; you rest - in mind, as well as body - to get the most out of this life as you can. But sometimes, we get it, you want to take things up a gear to be able to perform and feel at your best.

And what should really be avoided? They’re just some of the questions that we’ll address in today’s show.

Renowned for her seriously tough HIIT workouts and adored by her 800k-plus Instagram followers, her message is all about embracing challenge. So, who better to offer a spring time pep talk.

Not least our hair. As you’ll hear in today’s show, pandemic stress has been the root of many concerns when it comes to our locks. Things like hair loss and thinning, as well as greasy roots, itchy scalps and brittle ends. And while some may say fretting about hair is frivolous - that it should be the least of your concerns right now - when something becomes tied up in your confidence and self-esteem, we believe that it’s so important to seek the right help and support. Which is why in this episode we’ve called on two leading, knowledgeable voices in the hair industry to help smooth over your worries. They are consultant trichologist Anabel Kingsley, brand president of the revered Philip Kingsley clinics and product ranges, and celebrity hairdresser and salon owner Adam Reed, who is a global ambassador for GHD. In this super-informative conversation, you’ll find out everything you need to know about how to nourish your hair back to health - from how often you should really give it a wash, to treating dryness, which products are worth your money and the best steps for tackling postpartum shedding.  Join Anabel Kingsley on Instagram: @anabel_kingsley Join Adam Reed on Instagram: @adamreedhair Join Perdie Nouril on Instagram: @perditanouril Join Women's Health UK on Instagram: @womenshealthuk Like what you’re hearing?

But the very timely message that comes out strong from today’s guest is that, not only is there light at the end of the tunnel, but that sometimes, on the other side of that little flicker of hope, there’s something better. She is Kirsty Gallacher - TV and radio broadcaster, and host of Stripped Back Sport, a Global podcast with new episodes every Monday. In today’s show - alongside sharing how her fitness fundamentals changed during the pandemic and busting female health taboos - she reflects on how those times of personal difficulty built her resilience and, ultimately, guided her towards a place where she feels at her happiest yet. She is super candid in this chat: from sexism in her early career and her decision to break out of her comfort zone and go freelance in her 40s, to how lockdown helped this extroverted, perma-busy working mum realise that she could, really, enjoy taking time for herself.

Because all women need to be strength training - according to two of the most esteemed trainers in the business. They are Joslyn Thompson Rule, Nike Master Trainer, women’s strength specialist, author of How To Move It and host of the Fitness Unfiltered podcast, and Andy Vincent, a PT with 20+ years experience in the fitness industry who has extensively studied strength and conditioning, sports performance, nutrition and biomechanics. So, why exactly is strength training so important for women? What do you need to get started? How do you progress your practice? And is there any truth supporting that tired - but still getting traction - notion that lifting weights can ‘bulk you up’?

But you don’t need us to tell you that regular exercise - what with all it’s mood-elevating, energy-stabilising powers is one thing that will help get you through this turbo bleak midwinter, like little else. So, how do you jumpstart a fitness regimen that’s going to support you - in mind and body - through this wild time and beyond? In today’s episode we’ve got one of the world’s most loved, lauded and refreshingly real trainers answering this question. Kelsey Wells rose to prominence in fitness circles as a power trainer on the Kayla Itsines-founded SWEAT app, and continues to share her practical yet compassionate approach to strength-based training with her near three million-strong community of followers. However, she’s been on a real journey where exercise is concerned - growing up, she never saw herself falling for workouts, and it was only after a spell of poor mental health drove her to begin taking care of her body that she truly fell in love with fitness. In today’s episode, Kelsey discusses her journey from exercise refusenik to global fitness star, as well as sharing the fitness and mindset fundamentals you need to start - or reinvigorate - a fitness journey. She answers: how do you get started; when should you train; for how long?; what mix of workouts will get you strong without adding too much bulk; what gym equipment is actually worth it - and, above all, how do you keep going?

Whether in our workouts, our work lives - or just regarding our relationship with ourselves. But with so much uncertainty, national lockdowns and a news cycle that’s enough to make anyone want to retreat back under the duvet, making plans, plotting goals and actually achieving them is tougher than ever. When we polled our audience on Instagram, over half of people said the sheer mental load of 2021 had sapped their motivation to set and strive for their health goals. If you’ve got no time or energy for self-improvement right now, that’s totally understandable. But, if you do, committing to small changes in your own little world could be of real benefit during this wild moment we're living through. But how do you choose goals that you love too much bail on? What can you do to ensure you’re striving for improvement in as kind a way as possible? And how do you keep yourself focused and on-mission, in the midst of…*all this*? These are among the questions we grapple with in today’s conversation, with help from Dr Anita Aitsi-Selmi, a medical doctor and public health expert-turned-transformational coach to leaders in medicine, law and business, and author of The Success Trap. Along with Dr Heather McKee, a psychologist and behaviour change specialist who helps companies and individuals make healthy changes, and make them last, with her Bite Sized Habits course.

]]> 138 no How to Lose Weight and Eat Well Your Way, with Prof Tim Spector https://play.acast.com/s/goingforgoal/howtoloseweightandeatwellyourway-withproftimspector Welcome back! We hope you enjoyed the Christmas break, in whatever shape yours took this year. Hopefully there was plenty of resting and you’re feeling ready to support yourself - in mind and body - through what looks set to be a few more challenging months*. We thought we’d kick off the year talking about food and, specifically, why in 2021 it might be worth ripping up the healthy eating rulebook. That’s according to Professor Tim Spector OBE, a genetic epidemiologist at King’s College London, co-founder of personalised nutrition app ZOE and author of Spoon Fed: Why Everything We’ve Been Told about Food is Wrong. As that book title would suggest, Professor Spector has a reputation for being one of the most formidable myth busters in the world of nutritional science and he certainly lives up to his rep in today’s conversation. He argues against placing too much emphasis on counting calories and he’s not a fan of counting macros either: he thinks both are a bit boring, reductive and unlikely to help you achieve your health goals in any meaningful or lasting way.

We hope you enjoyed the Christmas break, in whatever shape yours took this year. Hopefully there was plenty of resting and you’re feeling ready to support yourself - in mind and body - through what looks set to be a few more challenging months*. We thought we’d kick off the year talking about food and, specifically, why in 2021 it might be worth ripping up the healthy eating rulebook. That’s according to Professor Tim Spector OBE, a genetic epidemiologist at King’s College London, co-founder of personalised nutrition app ZOE and author of Spoon Fed: Why Everything We’ve Been Told about Food is Wrong. As that book title would suggest, Professor Spector has a reputation for being one of the most formidable myth busters in the world of nutritional science and he certainly lives up to his rep in today’s conversation. He argues against placing too much emphasis on counting calories and he’s not a fan of counting macros either: he thinks both are a bit boring, reductive and unlikely to help you achieve your health goals in any meaningful or lasting way.

We made it to the end of 2020 - one of the most tough, unsettling and disappointing years, going. But while we lavish due praise on our medics, carers, scientists and other key workers, we think it’s worth you taking some time to big yourself up, too. Going for Goal has been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times in 2020. That’s hundreds of thousands of times that you – collectively - have taken around half-an-hour out of being a worker, a parent, a partner - a busy person – to focus on you. Now there are more than 50 episodes ready to tune into whenever and wherever you fancy. Enter our end-of-year gift to you: today’s bumper episode in which we’ve enlisted 50 of our favourite experts (many of whom you’ll recognise from this year’s episodes) to share a little nugget of health advice. The intention is not for these tips to be actioned all in one go (um, hello, December!) but to be planted in your mind, then digested slowly, before providing a little inspiration for the goals you decide to shoot for in 2021 and beyond.

More than one hundred of you sent in your questions on the subject and you covered a lot of ground. Expect information on everything from understanding the timeline fundamentals and how bodyweight affects fertility to facts about interventions like egg freezing and the lifestyle tweaks that can optimise your chances of having a successful IVF cycle. The first expert answering your questions is Dr Larisa Corda, an NHS obstetrician and gynaecologist who also works in private practice. If you spend weekday mornings with Holly and Phil on the regular, you might remember her from The Conception Plan, a mini-feature on This Morning, which followed several couples struggling with infertility on their journeys to fall pregnant and foregrounded her holistic, lifestyle-focused approach to improving fertility. The second is Melanie Brown, a nutritionist who uses food and lifestyle-based interventions to help couples overcome infertility and has worked alongside gynaecologists, urologists, midwives and IVF specialists for over two decades. While the questions we received were skewed towards the experience of heterosexual couples, much of the advice given is useful for all women - regardless of their partner’s gender. There are, of course, many routes to motherhood.

]]> 176 no How to Feel Less Lonely in Lockdown and Beyond https://play.acast.com/s/goingforgoal/thelonelinessremedy-ourevidence-basedplantohelpyoufeellessisolated Are you feeling lonely at the moment? That was just one of the questions we set out to answer when we surveyed over 2,000 WH readers, followers and listeners this autumn. The findings were stark: 79% of you told us you feel lonelier now than you did before the pandemic - a number that rises to 87% among single people. For a community formed around a shared passion for health, this is troubling news. Loneliness is about as destructive a force for mental and physical health as you can get. So, rather than spend our weekly slot chatting to you about all the ways loneliness can harm you, we want to talk you through something we hope can help - regardless of your age, relationship status or living set up. It’s our new campaign, The Loneliness Remedy, and it hinges on a simple concept: that just as you plan your at-home workouts and take time out for self-care, it’s essential to work on your social nutrition (lessening the burden of loneliness via cultivating connections and caring for others) too. And much like you aim to eat at least five fruit and vegetables a day - per NHS advice - we’re encouraging all of you listening to seek out five socially nutritious interactions every day, too. So, how can you tell if you are lonely? And how, practically, can you go about getting your other five-a-day alongside all the very many things on your to-do list? Joining host Roisín Dervish O'Kane to discuss this and more is Jeffrey Hall, professor of communication studies at the University of Kansas and Dr Sophie Mort, a clinical psychologist who made the move from working in the NHS to running remote online therapy appointments with clients worldwide.

]]> 169 no AJ Odudu on Being an Extrovert in Lockdown and Opening Up About Racial Justice https://play.acast.com/s/goingforgoal/ajoduduonbeinganextrovertinlockdownandopeningupaboutracialjustice We're thinking of you at WH during this most November-y of Novembers. If you’re having a pretty grey day, we hope that today’s show will be a bit of a brightener. Rather than a conversation that homes in on how to achieve a specific health goal, we’ve got an interview for you with one of the most fun and interesting up-and-coming female stars on our screens right now. She’s AJ Odudu, the 32-year-old Blackburn-born presenter who you’ll know from TV shows including The Voice and Don’t Rock the Boat with Freddie Flintoff. Her on-screen brand is all high energy and warm smiles, but in today’s episode – in which she chats to WH’s digital fitness writer Morgan Fargo - she opens up about how tricky 2020 was to manage for someone as extroverted as herself. However, she tells us how lockdown has taught her some valuable lessons - not least the importance of establishing a solid workout routine and getting enough rest. AJ also speaks candidly about how the Black Lives Matter movement affected her emotionally, and why the article she wrote for Vogue (which was shared widely online - do have a Google and read it if you haven’t already) was a form of self-therapy. It’s a chat that’s sunny, energising - and really thought provoking.

She has become one of the best known and loved faces and voices, on TV and radio respectively, since she landed her first job with MTV in 2008. Her grit and positivity shine through in this episode, where she chats to WH editor-in-chief Claire Sanderson about her rather turbulent 2020. A year that began with the high of landing the plum job as the new Love Island host, before losing her dear friend Caroline Flack part way through the series. Laura tells us how – while it’s certainly been tough – she has been grateful for the fact lockdown has given her time to grieve. It also allowed her to spend more time with her partner Iain Stirling and rediscover the importance of stillness for mental health. Something that’s been MIA in her schedule since she moved from her hometown of Bray, County Wicklow, to begin her career in London more than a decade ago. She also opens up about her – relatably irregular – workout routine, dealing with online trolls and trying her best to use social media as a force for good.

]]> 190 no Comfort Eating, Calories and Covid: A Top Nutritionist on Weight Loss Now https://play.acast.com/s/goingforgoal/comforteating-caloriesandcovid-atopnutritionistonweightlossnow This week we're looking at the never-not-tricky topic of weight loss, with actionable tips and strategies to help navigate the complex world of food and feelings. Something that’s been made ever more complex by the small matter of a global pandemic. While there are, arguably, far bigger things to think about right now than the size and shape of your body, the matter of how to manage weight - without burdening your mind - has been at the forefront of many people's thoughts. The messages from those of you wanting help with snacking and weight loss tips has been matched only by the number of you seeking advice on how you can keep your body confidence and relationship with food robust, during a time when everyone's mental health is being pressured in all directions - and life is less rich and active than before. So, in this episode, we’re going to take a kind approach to the topic of weight management, as we draw to a close of 2020. Senior Editor Roisín Dervish-O’Kane is joined by Rhiannon Lambert - a Harley Street nutritionist, who helps clients overhaul their health at her Rhitrition clinic, whether that involves losing excess weight or helping recovering eating disorder patients rebuild their relationship with food. She's also a published author and host of the Food For Thought podcast. Here, she busts some of the most pervasive weight loss myths, offers some smart strategies for avoiding mindless snacking while WFH and explains why - now of all times - it’s important to not beat yourself up about finding comfort in food.

If you’re running low on inspiration, we reckon today’s guest, Alex Scott - England footballing star turned pundit, sports broadcaster (and 2019 Strictly alumnus) is well-equipped to help you. Since being scouted at the age of eight while playing football near her London council estate, her life as a pro-athlete was defined by how fit, strong and athletic she was. But now, by her own admission, she ‘uses fitness for fun’ - and the joy she clearly finds in it is truly infectious. In this episode she chats to WH Editor-in-Chief Claire Sanderson about the lessons she’s learned in her long career, as well as the strengths that sport and exercise equips girls and women with on and off the pitch.

But, as policymakers and medical chiefs aim to sort the situation on a zoomed out, macro level, we want to play our small part in helping by offering you sensible, actionable advice on looking after your mind in 2020. Just in time for World Mental Health Day, we’ve got NHS consultant psychiatrist Dr Sarah Vohra on the podcast to discuss the particular challenges this moment presents for our minds - and, crucially, what you can do to mitigate their worst effects. She’s one of Women’s Health’s most trusted authorities on mental health and, as you’ll get from this conversation, has a real knack for turning down the alarm bells and intensity on the topic of mental health and providing really straightforward, clear-eyed advice. Here, she talks Senior Editor Roisín Dervish-O’Kane through the simple habits and routines that are vital for mental health maintenance during a tough time, such as staying disciplined with your self-care and being aware of your limits. Plus, what to do if you are one of the people whose mental health has slipped to the point where you’re not coping and need to seek extra support. You are, very much, not alone - and we hope you find this episode useful.

Times are tough; made more so by the fact we don’t know exactly when they’re going to get better. But, as policymakers and medical chiefs aim to sort the situation on a zoomed out, macro level, we want to play our small part in helping by offering you sensible, actionable advice on looking after your mind in 2020. Just in time for World Mental Health Day, we’ve got NHS consultant psychiatrist Dr Sarah Vohra on the podcast to discuss the particular challenges this moment presents for our minds - and, crucially, what you can do to mitigate their worst effects. She’s one of Women’s Health’s most trusted authorities on mental health and, as you’ll get from this conversation, has a real knack for turning down the alarm bells and intensity on the topic of mental health and providing really straightforward, clear-eyed advice. Here, she talks Senior Editor Roisín Dervish-O’Kane through the simple habits and routines that are vital for mental health maintenance during a tough time, such as staying disciplined with your self-care and being aware of your limits. Plus, what to do if you are one of the people whose mental health has slipped to the point where you’re not coping and need to seek extra support. You are, very much, not alone - and we hope you find this episode useful.

Now married to ex-pro footballer Rio Ferdinand, she’s an ultra loving step-mum to his three children, Lorenz, Tate and Tia - who truly won the hearts of many viewers after their documentary Rio and Kate: Becoming a Stepfamily aired on BBC One earlier this year. She’s also one of the many women going through the unique experience of being pregnant in a pandemic - with her little boy due later this year. In this episode she chats to Women's Health editor-in-chief Claire Sanderson about the unlikely ways pregnancy affects you - in body and mind; how she’s adapted her high-intensity workouts to slower, more mindful training and why, since she’s been pregnant, her and Rio have stopped bickering in the gym. She also shares the strategies she uses to avoid falling down an anxiety spiral and why authentic happiness - rather than perfection - is the goal she’s shooting for.

]]> 2310 no Davina McCall on Confidence Lessons and Being Fit At 52 https://play.acast.com/s/goingforgoal/davinamccallonconfidencelessonsandbeingfitat52 Davina McCall was one of the UK’s biggest fitness influencers before that phrase was even a thing. From noughties workout DVD's to her do-anywhere fitness and wellness platform Own Your Goals, her sustained passion for getting women moving is seriously impressive. The broadcaster and bona fide national treasure fronts Women’s Health’s first-ever Fit At Any Age issue, which is on stands now.

In both science and sport, the attitude was much the same. But over the past decade or so there’s been a rising tide of interest in actually figuring out how a woman’s monthly cycles impact her performance. Now, from Megan Rapinoe’s World Cup-winning US football team and the Chelsea women's squad to the elite dancers of the Scottish Ballet, female athletes at the top of their game are using the insights of endocrinology (that's the science of how hormones work) to train around their cycles in order to perform better - and this week, we’re looking at how you can, too.

Gemma so exemplifies what we love and value at Women’s Health - the passion for fitness, the balanced, no-BS approach to living well, the cracking sense of humour - that she’s been on the cover of Women’s Health twice.

She and Claire also candidly discuss the pressures on young women today and how they plan to raise strong, body-confident daughters.

Specifically, the fear that you’re not good enough, and how this can build and build and hold you back in many ways. From not going for the goals you want because you’re so fearful of failure, to being fearful that the success you’ve accumulated is so fleeting and so ready to be wrenched away from you that you keep chasing success but never actually allow yourself to recognise it; to enjoy it.

As head of people and team development at the Football Association, she worked closely with Gareth Southgate’s England team for the World Cup in 2018.

Maybe you’ve never really ‘got’ yoga (or thought that it’s for you) but the stresses of this moment mean you’re keen to access those juicy mind-body-soul-everything benefits that fans go on about. Perhaps you only flow on a fairweather basis and you’re curious about the benefits you might unlock if you start to practice regularly. Or maybe you’re someone who previously got a real buzz from attending studio classes, don't feel comfortable returning just yet, and need some inspiration to reinvigorate your at-home practice. Wherever you're at right now, we’re confident that, by the end of this episode, you'll want to unfurl that mat before you can say 'savasana'. This week's host Morgan Fargo, Women's Health's Digital Fitness Writer, is joined by two yoga experts full of tips and tactics to help you build a regular yoga practice. The first is Jessica Olie, a former elite swimmer and sports science grad who’s built a 900k-strong community around her online yoga workouts and #LetsStartYoga ebooks. Then there’s Nahid de Belgeonne, the former yoga sceptic and founder of The Human Method, which is a blend of yoga flow, restorative poses and breathing techniques she uses to soothe the nervous systems and improve the lives of her high-powered and highly-stressed clients. Together they discuss the importance of starting small, new ways to find joy within your self-practice and why yoga, truly, is for everyone.

We're confident that will be the case with this week's guest: personal trainer, global fitness superstar and founder of the Fit Body App, Anna Victoria.

Just a few examples: Lauren wanted to learn strategies with which to curb her snacking, Hannah wanted to know what will stop her snacking on junk food, while Leila wants help disrupting her emotional eating reflex.

Think about how this makes you feel: jubilant about sitting down with a freshly-pulled pint? Thrilled that your gang are finally able to make merry in a place with actual working loos? Maybe you’ve cut your units right down during lockdown and have mixed feelings about social drinking opportunities showing up in your life again. Whichever way you're leaning, now is as good a time as any to take stock and start thinking about your drinking. Joining Roisín on today's show is David Nutt, professor of neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London, outspoken former government advisor and author of Drink: The New Science of Alcohol and Your Health (£16.99, Hodder & Stoughton). One of the world’s foremost experts on the impacts of drugs on the brain, he’s determined that everyone who drinks understands the impacts boozing has on their bodies and minds. Decidedly not ‘anti-booze’ (he’s a wine fan, FYI), Professor Nutt believes it is possible to have a healthy, wholly positive relationship with drinking alcohol - provided that you apply a few important principles. Here, he spells out what these habits look like - and how to apply them - whether you're going out or staying home.

Why? Well, because getting to grips with how these little chemical messengers work is integral to achieving so many of the health goals you tell us you want to really nail - whether that’s having more energy, being more productive, or maintaining your happy weight. In this episode, Roisín is joined by GP and integrative medicine specialist Dr Sohere Roked alongside Dr Michael Craig, a consultant psychiatrist at London's Maudsley hospital and a leading PMS researcher. They discuss how hormones actually operate, how to get yours in balance and why, if you’re eating well and working out but still feeling decidedly off, they might be to blame. The doctors also discuss the latest research and treatment options for common hormonal conditions such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and severe PMS.

The presenter, blogger and author of new book How To Be Your Own Best Friend is a champion of body confidence and self-kindness. She’s earned an army of loyal fans thanks, in part, to her willingness to show her ‘imperfections’ (think: cellulite, rolls of skin on her midsection), but Chessie’s not always enjoyed such a free, confident and self-loving relationship with herself and her body. In fact, her disordered pursuit of becoming her smallest, leanest self saw her overtrain her body to the extent that she experienced a mini stroke, which left her with a heart condition and hearing loss that still affect her today. Here, she tells Roisín about the life lessons she’s learned along the way and why she's so determined that other women won't need such a dramatic event to make them realise how important it is to listen to their bodies.

Here, Dr Aujla makes a convincing case for why, if you want to hit all your nutritional targets (everything from getting ample fibre and protein to ensuring dietary diversity), while watching your finances, it's essential to find your groove with healthy cooking. Let's get stuck in.

Founder of a multi-million dollar fitness empire with the hugely-successful Sweat app at its core, the 29-year-old has helped millions of women the world over start, and stick to, a training routine. Her philosophy? Firstly, that getting fit – and staying that way – only requires 30 minutes of exercise each day. And secondly, that showing up for these sessions (be it a swift walk or high-octane HIIT) is one of the most simple and effective form of self-care. Yes, this no-nonsense Aussie PT-turned-global home workout mogul passionately believes that self-kindness does sometimes looks like being tough and gritty. Why? Because showing up for that session, whether you want to or not, is ultimately one step towards unlocking the mind-and-body rewards wrought by having a consistent, sustainable fitness routine. This conversation has tough love, tonnes of insight from Kayla’s journey back to fitness after giving birth to her one-year-old daughter, Arna – and advice for how everyone can embark upon a forever fitness journey, whatever your current level.

Maybe you’ve been reflecting on what actions, thoughts and behaviours from the time BC (Before Covid, that is) are worth incorporating into this ‘new normal’ we’re hearing so much about lately - and which ones you’re better off without.

And this, according to Dr Rangan Chatterjee - medical doctor, lifestyle medicine advocate and host of the Feel Better, Live More podcast - presents a real opportunity. One in which you can reflect on your daily routine and begin making small adjustments that can have a big impact on your physical, mental and emotional health.

]]> 2241 no A Kind Approach To Body Transformations https://play.acast.com/s/goingforgoal/akindapproachtobodytransformations Body goals have developed a bad rap of late, haven’t they? Before-and-after transformation pictures have been criticised for suggesting there’s a blueprint for a process that’s wholly individual. If your main workout motivation is to get, say, a tighter waist or sculpted arms, that’s seen as being dated - or, by some, straight up unhealthy. And yet, you’ve told us that changing an aspect of your appearance remains a priority, and many of you are choosing to use this time at home to pursue body goals you haven’t had the time to go after before. So, is it possible to change your body without falling into dangerous patterns of thinking? Yes, says Emilia Thompson.

Dr Patel studied immunology at university before going on to qualify as a GP. Today, she practises in central London, putting her on the frontline of the Covid-19 response in the UK.

How do you know when it’s time to stop swiping? And how can you put your mental health front and centre of your dating strategy? Joining Senior Editor Roisín Dervish-O’Kane to discuss all this and more are Dr Sophie Mort, a former NHS Clinical Psychologist who now has her own private practice, and Louise Troen, a brand consultant and former International Vice President of Marketing at the dating app Bumble.  Join Women’s Health on Instagram: @womenshealthuk Join Roisín Dervish-O’Kane on Instagram: @roisin.dervishokane Join Dr Sophie Mort on Instagram: @_drsoph Join Louise Troen on Instagram: @louisetroen Have a goal in mind that you want us to put to the experts?
