Do you ever feel a bit awkward talking about vibrators? Because even in a light, laughter-filled moment, it can be clear there’s still a lot to say and a lot of discomfort around the topic. This clip explores a candid exchange about vibrators, capturing how quickly the conversation can move from hesitation to humour and openness.As a nutritionist and health communicator, Sarah brings a grounded, educational tone to wellbeing conversations, even when the topic feels a little taboo. Here, that comes through in a simple but telling moment: acknowledging there’s “quite a lot” to discuss, and then leaning into how “fabulous” and “amazing” it can be to talk about it more honestly.

Exciting news - pre-order my debut book 

https://linktr.ee/HealthySBTH?utm_source=linktree_profile_share

That feeling of being utterly exhausted but somehow unable to switch off. The tight chest. The 3am wake-ups. The gut that never quite settles. Most of us have been quietly living with these signs for years, chalking them up to a busy life or just the way we are. But what if they were your body trying to tell you something far more specific?

This week on Live Well Be Well, I'm sitting down with the brilliant Dr. Arielle Schwartz, somatic psychologist, certified yoga therapist, EMDR trainer, and one of the leading voices in nervous system healing and complex trauma. Arielle has this rare gift of translating some of the most intricate neuroscience into something you can actually feel in your own body. She is warm, grounded, deeply wise, and this conversation genuinely moved me.

Here's What We Dive Into:

- What a dysregulated nervous system actually feels like in the body

- Why stress and dysregulation are not the same thing

- What polyvagal theory is and why your vagus nerve matters more than you think

- How the body moves through fight, flight, and freeze responses

- Why ADHD may be a nervous system regulation challenge as much as a cognitive one

- How to stimulate your vagus nerve using just your own hands

- Why crying is one of the most healing things you can do for your nervous system

- How self-compassion directly improves vagal tone

- Why breathwork is the fastest nervous system reset available to all of us

- What EMDR is and how it helps the brain finally let go of trauma

Love,

Sarah Ann 💛

Have you ever wondered why sexual education rarely talks about variety? It’s often treated as a topic we skip over, even though it can be a key part of a healthy, enjoyable sex life and better communication with your partner. This clip explores why doing the same thing every time can become limiting, and why introducing variety matters. Sarah discusses how this is something many people are never taught in sex education, and how changing things up can help keep intimacy feeling more connected and responsive rather than repetitive. As a nutritionist and health communicator, Sarah brings her practical, supportive approach to a topic that sits within wider wellbeing, relationships, and how we learn about our bodies.

Most women were never taught how to talk about sex — not really — and a therapist with over 35 years of couples work makes one thing clear: faulty communication has contributed to every single relationship problem she has ever seen, without exception. In this clip, you will hear the three communication rules that change not just your sex life but the entire emotional architecture of your relationship, including why asking "do you want to have sex?" may be doing more harm than you think. If intimacy has started to feel like another area of your life where you are somehow getting it wrong, this conversation will reframe that completely.

Exciting news - pre-order my debut book 

https://linktr.ee/HealthySBTH?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareHave you ever felt on fire from the inside, with no language to describe what was happening? That is exactly where Matt Haig found himself at 24. And what he chose to do with that experience has since helped millions of people feel less alone.

This week on Live Well Be Well, I'm sitting down with bestselling author Matt Haig. Over two decades, he has written with raw honesty about depression, anxiety, and neurodiversity. Diagnosed with ADHD and autism in his mid-40s, he writes not to have the answers, but to make you feel like your questions are valid.

Here's what we dive into:

- How Matt's crisis at 24 in Ibiza, including agoraphobia, panic attacks, and suicidal despair, became the turning point that made him a writer.

- Why writing about mental health was never about being an expert, but about finding language so a younger, suffering version of himself could feel less alone.

- What a late ADHD and autism diagnosis in midlife actually feels like, and why understanding your brain does not mean you suddenly understand everything about yourself.

- How ADHD can be quietly advantageous when you stop fighting it, and why an interest-driven brain can lead to a deeply authentic life.

- Why the opposite of depression is not happiness. It is the boring, beautiful neutrality of a mind that can spend one minute thinking about an ordinary email.

- How the word "impossible" became Matt's greatest source of motivation: if you survived the most impossible thing, everything else becomes possible too.

- How running, routine, and the most unglamorous physical basics were the things that actually brought Matt back.

Love,

Sarah Ann 💛

Most women were never taught the most basic, scientifically supported thing they can do for their own wellbeing — and the shame around that silence is doing real damage. In this clip, Dr. Laurie Mintz, sex therapist and researcher, shares the study showing that 93% of women who had never experienced orgasm became orgasmic with one straightforward intervention — and why that statistic has been hiding in plain sight. If you have ever felt broken, ashamed, or simply uninformed about your own body, this is the conversation you didn't know you needed.

Exciting news - pre-order my debut book 

https://linktr.ee/HealthySBTH?utm_source=linktree_profile_share

You've seen the headlines. You've watched the celebrities transform. Maybe you've even wondered, quietly, if it could be for you. But what is the science really saying?

This week on Live Well Be Well, I sit down with Dr. Jack Mosley, GP registrar, and author of Food Noise. Jack brings a perspective that is honest, nuanced, and completely free of hype. We get into what these drugs can genuinely do, who they are truly for, and why taking them without lifestyle support is like putting on noise-cancelling headphones without ever learning to listen to yourself.

Here's What We Dive Into:

- Why up to 40% of weight lost on GLP-1 medications can come from lean muscle, not fat, and why that matters more than the number on the scale.

- What "food noise" actually is and why silencing it with medication is only half the story.

- The 80% reality: why most people regain all their weight within 20 months of stopping and what the 20% who don't have in common.

- Why these are not cosmetic medications, who they are genuinely for, and the real risks of microdosing without clinical need.

Love,

Sarah Ann 💛

Most women have heard of creatine — but only as something for gym bros loading up before a workout. What the sports science research actually shows is that creatine monohydrate may be one of the most important supplements for women navigating perimenopause, brain fog, gut issues, and mood changes — and almost no one is talking about it outside of performance circles. This clip breaks down exactly which form to take, how much, why it takes three weeks to work, and what the collagen supplement industry isn't telling you about protein intake and joint health.
