Longevity, Collagen & the Perfectionism Trap

In this week’s episode, we explore the link between movement, health, and body image—asking whether it’s time to rethink what it means to be fit at any size. From inclusive workout spaces to powerful personal stories, we look at how fitness and longevity go beyond the scales.

Green tea is making headlines for its potential brain health benefits in older adults, but what does the science actually say? And how does it stack up against coffee? We break down the latest research, plus what to look for in a good-quality brew.

Collagen coffee is the latest beauty-meets-wellness trend—but is it just frothy marketing? We look at what collagen really does, who might benefit, and whether your morning latte is the best delivery method.

We also dive into a brilliant piece from Style Magazine in The Times about perfectionism and the pressure to optimise every part of our lives. Is the pursuit of betterment actually stealing your joy? And could “good enough” be the healthiest choice of all?

We take a closer look at how to age in the healthiest way possible—breaking down the latest research on healthspan and what we can actually do now to support our long-term wellbeing, from diet to mindset to movement.

Plus, Ella shares her New York adventures, Rhiannon talks about oat bars, and we unpack SACN’s latest update on ultra-processed foods—why not all UPFs are created equal, and what this means for plant-based eating.
