Are Carbs Bad? & Ditching the Pressure to ‘Fix’ Yourself

This week we’re tackling one of the most persistent wellness myths: that cutting carbs is essential for weight loss. We dive into what carbs actually are, why they became the enemy, what the science really says about low-carb diets, and the health benefits of keeping wholegrains in your life.

We also explore powerful new findings from a 30-year Finnish study showing that unhealthy habits like smoking, drinking and inactivity don’t just affect your future. They start impacting your quality of life by your mid-thirties. But the good news is that changing course earlier can make all the difference.

Plus, with headlines about 28-year-olds getting facelifts and cosmetic surgery on the rise, we ask why so many of us are feeling pressure to change our appearance, and how we can reclaim confidence and care in a filtered world.

Finally, we revisit the rapeseed oil debate, where the fear comes from, and what the science really says about cooking oils and inflammation.
