The Wellness Scoop

How to Live Longer with Champagne, Mushrooms… and Raw Testicles?


Listen Later

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into four surprising headlines that touch on everything from daily habits to big lifestyle shifts.

First up, new research reveals that just two weeks without mobile internet can reverse ten years of cognitive ageing and significantly boost mental health. We break down what happened in the study, and whether a digital detox could work in real life.

Then, we explore the idea of nondoing — a powerful wellness concept from Deepak Chopra that isn’t meditation or rest, but a deeper kind of stillness that reconnects you with yourself.

We also look at a bold claim from The Telegraph — that poor posture could shorten your life — and share practical steps to improve it, starting today.

And finally, a fun one: champagne might actually be good for your heart. But before you pop a bottle, we unpack what the science says (and what it doesn’t).

In today’s trend check, we explore the booming world of mushroom-based wellness drinks, from lion’s mane lattes to adaptogenic teas — are they worth the hype?
