He also shares his morning routine and why a good foundation to the day is so important.
In this inspiring podcast, Shakira discusses how she felt immense pressure after giving birth to her first baby. People told her she’d be exhausted, have no time for herself, and that she’d never wear a bikini again.
As a personal trainer she knew how powerful the female body is and how exercise helps recovery from childbirth and mental health. She set out to challenge those motherhood cliches and give women the tools to stay physically and mentally well in pregnancy and beyond.
Lottie discusses her journey, from the initial symptoms that interfered with her first job, to the research she did on the gut, FODMAP diets, and the brain-gut connection.
With her first baby due any day, Lottie talks about how she gradually found coping mechanisms and how sharing them created a safe space for others to open up about their gut health and not feel so alone. She also explains how her love of fashion led to #mybloatedwardrobe going viral.
With the goal of changing the narrative, Jaspreet joins Dr Gemma to unpack the issues around gender differences, menstruation and how period poverty affects women across the world. She also dives into her journey as a poet and what wellness means to her.
Ultimately, Jaspreet’s message is to take time to get to know your body and express yourself to support your mental wellbeing. Pulling no punches, this empowering podcast should equip women everywhere to handle difficult conversations better and do just that.
In this podcast, Beth describes her journey to becoming a professional footballer and reveals how her huge disappointment at missing out on the Olympic team a year ago was a pivotal point in changing her mindset.
She shares how she got her head together for her best season ever and why turmeric and ginger, cod liver oil, magnesium, and protein shakes are musts that work for her.
In this peppy podcast, Ateh talks to Gemma about the power of beauty and how she made her passion into her job. She recalls how Black Lives Matter and Covid were a pivotal point in her life, leading her to embrace colour after only ever wearing black and set up her education foundation.
Invoking us to embrace menopause as a transformative new stage in life to walk in with pride and power, Ateh also discusses menopause symptoms and shares her health and skincare tips to support women’s changing needs.
