The new episode of The Health Perspective is now live, and this one is for new parents trying to make sense of reflux in babies.

Reflux is incredibly common in the early months, but because it looks so similar to normal baby behaviour, it can leave parents constantly wondering whether something is wrong or whether they should be worried.

In this episode, I break down what reflux actually is, why it happens, what’s normal, and when it’s worth getting checked — all with the aim of reducing anxiety and helping parents feel more confident in what they’re seeing.

If you’re navigating feeds, spit-up, unsettled nights, and a lot of uncertainty, this episode is for you.

Ultra Processed Foods dominate the headlines, and it’s easy to fall into all-or-nothing thinking.

But the real challenge isn't just reducing UPFs… it's doing it in a way that still lets you enjoy eating, socialising, travelling, and living your actual life.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by food rules or nutrition advice, this one will feel grounding.

Swipe through for a refreshingly balanced take on UPFs.

👇 Do you lean more towards balance or strict avoidance when it comes to processed foods?

If you could only follow one diet in 2026… which one should it be?

When I asked Sara this question, her answer was immediate, and honestly, it makes a lot of sense once you break down the evidence.

The Mediterranean diet is one of the few eating patterns consistently linked with better heart health, diabetes prevention, improved gut health and long-term sustainability.

It's made up of real food with plenty of fibre, healthy fats, and meals that actually keep you full.

It’s simple, flexible, and something most people can stick to without feeling restricted which is why it stands out above the rest.

Have you ever tried following a Mediterranean-style diet?

I’d love to hear what worked (or didn’t) for you.

Are protein shakes actually helping… or are they just clever marketing?

It’s a question I hear all the time, and in this week’s conversation Sara gave one of the most grounded, refreshing answers I’ve heard.

With so much focus on 'high protein everything', it’s easy to forget that real food often does a far better job and that supplements come with their own downsides that most people never think about.

Do you use protein shakes, or have you moved toward whole-food alternatives?

The new episode of The Health Perspective is now live, and this week we’re back with Sra Hausman, breaking down some of the biggest diet myths heading into 2026.

One of the ideas that surprised a lot of people in this conversation is how much timing matters. Not just what you eat, but when you eat it.

Most people focus on calories, macros or meal plans, but very few think about how the body actually processes food at different points in the day.

Meal timing can have a real impact on weight, energy and appetite regulation.

What time do you finish your last meal of the day? Let me know in the comments 👇🏻

A lot of people think GLP-1 medications are a standalone fix, but the reality is far more nuanced.

It's the combination of medical treatment and personalised support that drives success.

This is a side of the GLP-1 story that rarely gets discussed, but massively impacts how well people do both during treatment and after.

Swipe through for a conversation I think anyone considering Wegovy or Mounjaro needs to see.

One of the biggest concerns I’m seeing right now is how easily people can access weight-loss injections online, often with no proper assessment at all.

These medications can be incredibly effective, but they’re not simple.

Many patients have underlying issues that will never get picked up by an online pharmacy.

In this week’s episode, I break down why proper medical supervision matters, why side effects shouldn’t be ignored, and why these injections should never be treated like a quick fix.

If you’re considering starting one of these medicines, please watch this first.

One of the most unexpected hacks from this week’s episode?

Kiwis 🥝

Not for vitamin C… but for constipation.

Sara Hausmann shared a simple trick she uses with patients that genuinely surprised me, and it’s backed by research.

A small, everyday food that can make a real difference to gut health without reaching straight for medication.

Have you ever tried the kiwi hack yourself?

The new episode of The Health Perspective is now live, and today we’re joined again by dietitian Sara Hausmann to talk about the realities of weight-loss injections.

There’s a lot of noise online about these medications… but very little about what clinicians actually see when they work with patients day in, day out.

One thing Sara and I both agree on is this: many people who consider these injections have been trying to lose weight for years. Diets, gyms, programmes, “healthy eating” and still not getting the results they work so hard for.

For some of those patients, these medicines can genuinely change their health trajectory.

This episode is about cutting through judgement and understanding the why, the who and the how behind safe, supported use.

If you’ve used a weight-loss injection yourself, or you’re considering one, I’d love to hear your experience or questions below.

There’s a lot of noise around weight-loss injections, and it’s not always easy to know what’s real and what isn’t.

The facts often get blurred by headlines and hype.

So this carousel breaks down five of the most common myths I hear in clinic, and the truths that give you a clearer, safer starting point if you’re exploring these treatments.

Swipe through to learn more and if you know someone who’s confused by all the mixed messages, please share this with them too.

Whenever we talk about weight-loss injections, most people focus on how much weight they help you lose & how fast they work.

But what matters just as much is when they should be used....and when they shouldn’t.

These medicines can be powerful, but please remember they are not harmless.

They can change lives, but they can also cause harm when used for the wrong reasons or without proper supervision.

Understanding your own context is so important if you're considering a weightloss inejction like Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro.

And remember - the aim shouldn’t just be weight loss. It should be long-term health.

Wouldnt you agree?

Which weightloss injection works best?

In clinical studies, people taking Mounjaro lost around 5–7% more of their body weight than those on Wegovy.

Some saw total weight loss close to 20%. That’s one-fifth of their body weight!

It’s an incredible figure, but data alone doesn’t tell the full story.

The right medication depends on so many things unique to you. Factors to do with your health, your goals, and how your body responds may all have an impact on the results.

So please remember that what works best on paper isn’t always what works best for you.

What do you think about these stats?
