In this episode, we’re joined by astrologer Quinn for a deep and thought-provoking conversation on astrology, the rhythms of the Moon, and psychic experiences.
We explore what star signs really reveal about who we are, going beyond surface-level horoscopes to understand astrology as a tool for self-awareness and personal growth. Quinn breaks down how the movement of the planets can influence our emotions, energy, and everyday life.
The conversation also dives into lunar living—what it means to align with the phases of the Moon, from new beginnings to full moon releases, and how these cycles can help us feel more in tune with ourselves and the world around us.
We also talk psychic experiences and intuition. Quinn shares insights into what it means for her to be intuitive, and how these experiences show up for her.
Whether you’re new to astrology or already on your spiritual journey, this episode offers a grounded yet expansive look at how the cosmos may be more connected to your life than you think.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode!
My fitness and health journey has been a long one, and I’ve definitely learned a lot of lessons… mostly the hard way.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing 8 things I really wish I knew sooner when it comes to fitness, health, wellness, and building a healthier mindset. These are the things that would’ve saved me time, frustration, and a lot of starting over.
This episode is just an honest chat about what I’ve learned and what I’d do differently if I was starting again. I hope it helps you avoid some of the same mistakes I made.
If you enjoy this episode, please share it with your friends or family - it genuinely means so much and helps the podcast grow.
Thank you for being here 🤍

The follicular phase, pre-ovulation and ovulation phases are often framed as phases to push yourself, meet goals and do hard workouts before the slump of luteal hits. However, is the lifestyle approach of cycle syncing oversimplifying complex physiological systems, and leading the menstrual and ovulatory dysregulation?
In this episode, I explore a new science-backed theory of cycle syncing. Let's look at what’s actually happening hormonally and neurologically during this phase, and why this differs widely from person to person.
Rather than idealising pre-ovulation as a “green light” phase, this conversation invites a more attentive approach - one that recognises complex biological systems.
If you’ve ever felt pressured to maximise or optimise your life in the first half of your cycle, this episode is for you, and suggests a different approach, grounded in physiology and evidence.
I hope you enjoy the episode. Thank you for listening!

As the year turns, this episode is an invitation to slow down instead of speed up.
In a culture that treats January like a starting gun, I’m choosing a different approach to resetting for 2026—one rooted in evidence-backed rest, intentional recovery, and spiritual grounding, rather than pressure or hustle.
In this episode:
- Why rest and recovery are foundational, when entering a new year
- What research actually says about rest, nervous system regulation, and sustainable performance
- The specific rest practices I’m using to reset mentally, physically, and emotionally
- How spirituality is guiding my intentions for 2026
- Reflections from my Spotify Wrapped— thank you!
Whether you’re feeling burnt out, unmotivated, or simply craving a gentler start, this episode offers permission to begin the year rested, regulated, and rooted.
If this episode resonates, consider sharing it with someone who needs a reminder that rest is productive.
As always, thank you so much for listening this year 🤍 I couldn't do it without you!

For centuries, people speak of a mystical connection between the cycles of the Moon and the menstrual cycle. But is there any truth to it—or is it just ancient symbolism carried into modern wellness culture?
In this episode, I dive into both the science and the sacred stories surrounding this possible connection. I share with you the current (and past) research on whether the menstrual cycle truly synchronises with the lunar phases—and why this idea continues to resonate deeply with many women and those who menstruate.
We’ll explore:
✨ The origins of lunar-menstrual synchronisation.
🌕 What research suggests about potential connections.
🌙 The moon as a symbol of feminine power!
🧘♀️ How to hold both scientific skepticism and spiritual reverence in balance!
👂 Tune in if you’re curious about:
- Menstrual health & hormones.
- Feminine archetypes and lunar symbolism.
- Myths vs. scientific evidence.
- Blending scientific understanding with personal or spiritual practices.
🔗 The Study I Mentioned:
- 'Women Temporarily Synchronise their Menstrual Cycle with the Luminance and Gravimetric Cycles of The Moon' (Helfrich-Forster, 2021): Available at: https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/sciadv.abe1358

Hey everyone! In today’s episode, we’re getting real about something that affects so many of us but often goes unspoken: body image and body dysmorphia. This isn’t a polished, perfect conversation—it’s an honest one. In this episode, I hold space for the messy and complicated relationships we have about body image and body dysmorphia.
I feel I struggle so much with body image issues, and most of us feel the same. Let's talk about it.
💬 In this episode, we chat about:
- What is body dysmorphia?
- What are the symptoms and treatment?
- What's causing it?
- Societal impacts - not being 'skinny enough' or 'muscly enough'.
- Personal experiences.
📝 Journal Prompts:
- What is my first memory of being aware of my body? How did it make me feel?
- When do I feel most comfortable in my body? When do I feel most disconnected?
- What messages have I received (from family, media, culture) about how my body should look? How have they shaped how I see myself?
- What would I say to my younger self about their body?
- If my body could talk, what would it say to me today? What would I want to say back?
- How do I define beauty for myself—beyond what I’ve been told?
- What are three ways I can care for my body without focusing on how it looks?
- What would self-acceptance look like today, even if I’m not “there yet”?
⚠️ Heads up:
Disclaimer: I am not a psychologist or a doctor. This conversation is to hold space for something that may impact so many. I do touch on sensitive topics like body image struggles and mental health. Take care while listening, and skip or pause if you need to. Please speak to your GP if you are struggling with body dysmorphia.
Thanks for being here and thank you for listening!

Hey everyone and welcome back to the podcast!
In this episode:
You may have heard that eating proteins before carbs and sugar can help control blood sugar and support weight management. But does food order really make a difference, or is it just another nutrition trend? In this episode, we dive into the latest research, separating fact from fiction. Is there enough evidence to support these claims?
🔹 What We'll Discuss in This Episode:
❓ What current studies say (and don’t say) about food sequencing/order.
❓ Whether meal order impacts blood sugar, insulin and other health markers.
❓ What experts think—should you follow food sequencing guidelines?
❓ Practical takeaways: Is it worth trying, or should you focus on other aspects of nutrition?

I have something different for you this week - are our smartphones and watches making us ill? Let's chat EMF radiation.
I have seen so many videos on social media about the possible dangers of EMF radiation from phones and wearables. I wondered, is it just pseudoscience or is it real? I did the research so that you don't have to!

What is the possible harm?
Is there anything we can do/buy?
What we should ACTUALLY do?

Hello everyone and welcome back to the podcast.
This is the FINAL episode of 2023! Can you believe it? I am taking two weeks off of EVERYTHING (PhD, work, YouTube, and the podcast). I don't remember the last time I took a complete break from everything (I am in need now) and I am so grateful and privileged to be able to take this time. Hopefully, my time off will spark some inspiration and new ideas for 2024!
I hope that you are taking some well deserved rest!
In this episode, I reflect on the past year and my goals that I made for 2023 at the end of 2022. I encourage you to reflect on the past year. I loved chatting and reflecting with you guys in this episode!
Thank you for all your views and love this year!
If you miss me, check out the episodes you might have missed this year :)
See you in 2024 🥹🤍

Welcome back to the podcast! This week's episode is about some healthy signs and symptoms that your body is functioning well.
Disclaimer: these signs are very general and not specific. They can be used as simple indicators of health, but are not the be all and end all of 'wellness'. Take the information that resonates and leave the info that doesn't. This is by no means a diagnosis of "health" and certainly not a diagnosis of an unhealthy body or person.
I hope you like this episode.

Hello everyone and welcome back to 'Let's Talk Health with Mairi'. This week I want to talk to you about a Japanese concept called "Shinrin-yoku" (forest bathing).
In the westernised world we could learn a lot from Japanese culture as well as some other countries such as Italy. Specific areas in Japan and Italy are classified as blue zones, where an abundance of people live to 100+ year old.
I recorded a podcast on why these areas are linked to living a longer, healthier life. It's a good one!
Check out that podcast here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3NJfXMRWXRHHvYpf7twW18?si=efdeb44e89604f4e
Forest bathing is another concept from Japan that we can use to improve our immune system, gut microbiome and stress response!

Hello everyone and welcome back to Let’s Talk Health with Mairi. I hope you all are having a wonderful week.
This week we have a special guest on the podcast - my mum! My mum is a wonderful person who has achieved so much (especially in recent years). This is an important conversation and one I felt I couldn’t do justice on my own. Ann has been sober for 5 years and I think her experience will be one that many can relate to.
I hope you enjoy this week’s episode.

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi. I hope you have all had a wonderful week.
Why do you exercise? This is often something that we don't think about. I think it is critically important to evaluate. If you are someone who exercises regularly or even if you are someone who doesn't, this podcast is for you.
Evaluating your why to exercise can help you succeed in your fitness goals and ultimately, create a healthy relationship with exercise, which is critically important.

Hello everyone, welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi. I hope you have all had a wonderful week.
This week's episode is an important and interesting one. Let's talk about protein.
In this episode:
What is protein?
Why is it important?
How much protein do we need?
The optimal sources of protein.
Complete and incomplete proteins?
Should you consume protein powders?
The controversy around protein.
I don't know why I haven't made a podcast about this sooner. I enjoyed it and I hope you do too!
**The calculations:
(for example: 0.8 x (weight in kg) = protein per day for sedentary adult)
Sedentary adult: 0.8-1g per kg of body weight
General training: 0.8-1.5g per kg of body weight
Heavy training: 1.2-1.7g per kg of body weight
To build muscle: 1.5-1.7g per kg of body weight

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! Today's podcast is an interesting one: the Government VS Kellogg's in a court battle on new legislation for high-sugar cereals.
The government aims to tackle childhood obesity by 2030, and this legislation is one of the ways it hopes to achieve this. Kellogg's behaviour is astonishing and is a blatant act against one of the main societal issues such as obesity. Listen to this episode to hear more.

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! I hope you all have had a wonderful week.
The past three episodes have been all about the science (which I love) but I wanted to catch up with you all this week and have a chat. In this short episode I talk about something very new to me - going without makeup - cold turkey!
I feel that it is a societal expectation to wear makeup, and to be honest, I don't think I would wear makeup if this wasn't the case. I want to challenge this idea within myself and see where it takes me. I want to feel empowered and beautiful in my own skin in all occasions.
Follow along for the journey - I will be sharing updates!

Hello everyone and welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! What a beautiful week it has been here in sunny Scotland. I hope wherever you are, it's beautiful too.
This week the sun inspired me. Sun exposure is vital for health, yet, it is detrimental and causes skin cancer. This doesn't quite add up. For this episode, I took a dive into the literature and discussed, Is the sun really good for us or should we avoid it as much as possible?
In this episode:
Why the sun is good for our health.
How overexposure can cause complications.
Your skin type and how much sun you need/can tolerate.
Sunscreen: Good or bad for us?
How to reap the benefits of sun without the health complications.

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi. In this week's episode, we are focusing on increasing food in your diet instead of limiting food to promote wellbeing.
We are told constantly to reduce salt, sugar, and saturated fat and limit/avoid these foods. The human body and mind do not thrive under deprivation and usually, this technique doesn't work for promoting health. I want to encourage you to increase different foods in your diet, before considering taking them away.
What if I told you that food, particularly the foods mentioned in this episode, can help prevent premature death from chronic diseases? What if I presented to you a drug that can prevent the incidence of cardiovascular disease - the leading global killer?
Turns out there are foods that do just that, with only positive side effects. Listen to this podcast to find out what foods have such potent health benefits.

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! Today I have a very VERY special podcast. One year of Let's Talk Health with Mairi! Fifty episodes! I can't believe it. I wanted to do something special for this podcast. It means a lot to me that I have reached a year and that it has grown exponentially since the start.
Every single one of you who has listened to the podcast is special to me and that is why I wanted to include some of you in this special podcast.
The meaning of health is different for everyone, and I wanted to showcase the beauty of that today. I want you to remember that being "healthy" is by your definition. There is no clinical definition of health and there is a reason for that - health is what you make it, health is how you feel it. I hope you can see that today, from the many people kind enough to share their personal meaning of health.
No matter how many scientific studies there are it will never invalidate your personal opinion of what healthy means to you. I encourage you to find your very own meaning of health and prioritize that forever. Use this podcast for a starting point or refinement of your definition.
I hope you loved this podcast as much as I enjoyed making and listening to it.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the podcast - your contribution means everything.
Special thanks to my brother, Jonathan, for helping me edit!

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! This week we have another heavily science-based podcast. In this podcast I deep dive into the scientific literature on HIIT VS Steady-State Moderate Intensity exercise so you don't have to. You get nothing but the facts on this podcast!
HIIT (high intensity interval training) is a type of exercise that has gained popularity over the past decade for its health benefits and time efficiency, suggesting we can get the same health benefits from 4-6 minutes over 30 minutes to an hour of exercise! In this podcast we test this theory. Are we wasting our time exercising for an hour each session when we get the same benefits from just 5 minutes? Let's find out.

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! This week's episode is a review on the 2019 controversial documentary that has resurfaced recently: "The Big Fat Lies about Diet and Exercise".
This documentary is an interesting one. I think you might want to hear about what is discussed on this show and what they might be getting wrong. There are some interesting statements made in this documentary that I am not sure I agree with (or the science for that matter).
I hope you enjoy this type of podcast. Let me know what you think in the comments. Like, share and comment!

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! Hello everyone, it feels like forever since I have sat down and chatted with you all. I hope you have enjoyed the festivities and had an amazing Christmas and New Year!
I am back from my break and feeling better than ever! Today, I am talking about New Year's Resolutions, how to make goals that stick, and how to make 2022 your year. These past couple of years have been hard for everyone. It's time to take life and make it yours today and every day. The new year is a perfect time to start your goals and really make a difference in your life for YOU.
I love this time of year, a fresh start and time to reevaluate your goals and hone in on what you want and what you don't want. On Hogmanay, I brought in the bells sober, with loved ones after a productive day. I prepared for the new year focusing on my goals and reflecting on 2021 with yoga, mediation, journaling, and cleaning!
I hope you get everything and more out of 2022. Let's get you started on the life you love today!

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! This week's episode is all about relationships and their many forms.
Relationships are fundamental for our wellbeing and we have so many of them, yet we aren't taught once how to have happy healthy relationships. Family, friends, romantic relationships - we are led by example, and sometimes that example isn't great.
This is just a little chat on my opinion about relationships. I am no expert but I wanted to share my opinion on this. Let me know if you agree!

This is episode 40!
Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! How are you today? This week's episode is an important one.
Heart disease and cancer are the two leading global killers today. Research indicates that roughly a third of cases of cardiovascular disease and cancer could be prevented if our diets were rich in fruit, vegetables, and fibre. Genetic factors play a small role in chronic disease risk when related to lifestyle factors that account for 80-90% of the risk. You have most of the power to be healthy, happy, and disease-free.
Today's podcast is all about how to PREVENT these diseases before they occur.

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! We abuse our planet and bodies through westernisation, deforestation, meat overconsumption, pesticides and herbicides, ill health, obesity and much more.
This week I discuss a very important topic of living sustainably and healthily. There is many things you can start doing today to live more sustainably and healthfully!
This episode is based upon a literature review and discussion paper considering how to live sustainably and healthfully. This idea doesn't only begin to tackle global warming but also the health of the population within it. A very unbiased review that takes all parties into account. There is both benefits and cons of eating both vegan and carnivorous diets.

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! This is a very special episode with a very special guest! My amazing boyfriend, Jacob, has agreed to come on the podcast!
Jacob Portchmouth is a 21 year old business and marketing student from Scotland. He has organised countless endurance challenges to raise money for charity. He has an incredible ability to apply himself to impossible physical challenges in the aid of others. I might be bias but he is a truly wonderful human being. We can all learn a thing or two from him.
This podcast is a great one! Have a chat with us about endurance exercise, motivations for such a cause, raising money for charity, the after affects of the ironman (70.3 mile triathlon) and mental health struggles.

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! This is episode 30!! I have been doing the podcast for almost 7 months! Can you believe it?!
A little bit of a change of plan for this week's podcast (find out more in the podcast). This week I'll be doing the book review of ''Why We Sleep?" by Matthew Walker. A fascinating and incredibly important book educating us on the importance of sleep. I wanted to get this information out to you and fast as it is vital.
Jacob will be coming on next week to talk about AMFMH and the ironman he completed last Sunday!
If you struggle to sleep or want to learn more about sleep and how to improve it, this podcast is for you! You will be shocked and fascinated by what Walker discusses in this book.
Sleep and most importantly good quality sleep is fundamental for good health and living a long, healthy life.
Link to by this book ( I would highly recommend reading this in full - there is so much amazing facts and discussions in this book.)

The 12 Steps for Healthy Sleep (for your reference - screenshot or copy to help you with your sleep):
-
Stick to a sleep schedule. Go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time every day. We have a hard time adjusting to different sleep times and this can impair your sleep.
-
Exercise is amazing but not before bed or late in the day. It is important to get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day but no later than 2-3 hours before bed.
-
Avoid caffeine and nicotine. These substances are stimulants and will impair your sleep.
-
Avoid alcohol or drink in moderation and not before bed. This can result in lighter sleep and less REM sleep.
-
Avoid large meals or beverages before bed. This can interfere with sleep and cause frequent waking throughout the night.
-
If possible, avoid medications that delay or disrupt sleep. Speak to your doctor.
-
Don't take naps after 3 pm. Naps are great but not before 3 pm as it may disrupt your sleep later on.
-
Relax before bed.
-
Take a hot bath. This can help reduce your body temperature which is necessary for sleep.
-
Dark bedroom, cool bedroom and a gadget free bedroom.
-
The right sunlight exposure. Daylight is essential to healthy sleep. Get plenty of daylight during the day. When the sun goes down limit light exposure, especially LED powered lights. Listen to podcast for more tips.
-
Don't lie in bed awake.
I discuss these steps in more detail at the end of the podcast.
Thank you so much for listening :)

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! This episode is based on the scientific evidence surrounding diets for weight loss. What diet should you chose, If a diet at all?
Most diets that we commonly hear about aren't based on scientific evidence. Most diets are a manipulation of one fact that isn't backed up by any reasonable body of evidence and are mostly derived from books and magazines.
We must stop taking nutrition and weight loss advice from the media and start listening to the evidence from qualified and professional people.
Listen now to hear what the science suggests on diets for weight loss.

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! This episode is inspired by some things I have been working on in my life.
Judgement, jealousy and comparison are ingrained into our societies and almost encouraged. We are so quick to judge people and feel negatively towards situations.
I encourage you to flip these negative emotions on their head and explore why you feel negatively towards people and situations. You never know what you might learn about yourself. I know I have learned so much and totally changed my mindset for the better.
I discuss these emotions and how you can change them and live an enriched, happy and positive life in this week's podcast.

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! Episode 25! How are you all this week?
I have been reading "The Mind-Gut Connection" by Emeran Mayer and I have compiled all of the relevant and interesting points he discussed in this important book dedicated to gut health and its connection to the brain.
The gut is referred to as the "forgotten organ", a system that is rivalled in complexity to the brain. The gut and most importantly it's health, plays a fundamental role in our overall well-being, in particular, the brain.
Learn how to optimise your health and happiness as I summarise this scientific book into an easily digestible format. You can use this information to better your health and enrich your life!
I like this style of podcasts - reviewing interesting books! Let me know if you enjoy this too. :)

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! This weeks episode is a chatty one, all about improving your mental wellbeing with yoga, journaling and meditation.
I make these things a priority in my everyday life and it has drastically improved the way I think and process my emotions.
As I always say, mental health is a priority, more so than physical health. We deserve to be happy!
We must process our emotions and learn to stop and slow down in order to be mentally well. Yoga, meditation and journaling will achieve this when practised regularly and intentionally.
Listen now to find out more about how it has helped me and how it can help you!
I would love to hear from you -

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! This weeks episode is based on the BBC experiment: "UK doctor switches to 80% ULTRA-processed food diet for 30 days".
A very interesting experiment participated in by Dr Chris van Tulleken who normally eats a diet of 20% processed food and 80% 'healthy' food.
I share with you the staggering results of this experiment and just how dangerous processed food is for your brain, mind, body, hormones, mood and how it is contributing to our overwhelming obesity epidemic.
Why are we overeating? The answer is in this podcast!

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with me! Today I have a very special guest! Deborah Enrici Is a silent counsellor, mindset coach and friend of mine. What an interesting conversation we had on this podcast (over zoom)! A very interesting chat about fear, trapped emotions, Deborah's story and a technique you can all try to manage and overcome fear!
Please If you are interested in trying out some silent counselling Deborah is amazing at what she does. Contact her here: https://www.breathewithme.info/?fbclid=IwAR1NKC8TCJO9riHO6Q4vrg4z4RHmDeTZR3xWU2d4NGEQx2vZbvjzHgRAAZc
Deborah's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/BreathewithDeborahEnrici/
The practical technique to try (in written format):
1st meridian point. Sore spot can be found on lefthand chest. It's slightly tender to touch. Gently rub it and do the breathing technique 3x, start to relax and release any tension.
2nd meridian point: Under the nose. While you do this visualise yourself an empowered you, taking control of your life.
Breathe in empowerment.
3rd meridian point: Collarbone really connect with what you would like to achieve your intentions.
4th meridian point.
Side of left hand. Here is where we tap for change. So while you are doing the breathing technique think of positive affirmations like; I am calm, all is well, I love myself, I am empowered etc..
Some Extra info on Silent Counselling and what it is used for:
Silent Counselling enables you to release negative emotions attached to the past and It can also help with eliminating fears, anxiety and phobias.
How it works?
Negative energy can get stored in our bodies for a very long time. This negative energy can manifest itself as physical pain ie sore back, sore arm etc or can cause us to feel out of balance, the feeling of being stuck and also create emotional pain.
It works by using the body’s energy system, rather than the retelling of painful events, to identify and diffuse the negative emotions giving you the power to move on from the past and move forward into the present.
Where other methods rely on speaking, Silent Counselling uses a technique called muscle testing to determine the meridian points that require clearing and uses the body’s energy system to communicate the cause of blockages.
It is an exceptional and powerful type of therapy as the releasing gets done WITHOUT THE NEED TO TALK!
