No Bollocks with Matt Haycox

If exercise were a drug, it would be the most prescribed drug in the world, and Dr Frankie Jackson-Spence has the data to prove it.

In this conversation, Dr Frankie strips away the trending “wellness bollocks” and gives the medically-verified truth about hormones, sleep, metabolism, exercise, and why the healthcare system focuses on treatment instead of prevention.

As a medical doctor working in cancer clinical trials, a marathon runner, and a qualified PT, Frankie sits at the intersection of science, performance, and preventative health. She breaks down what actually moves the needle, what’s backed by research, and what social media gets dangerously wrong.

This episode is a must-listen if you want to understand your body better, protect your long-term health, and cut through the misinformation dominating the wellness industry.

What You’ll Learn: 

• The truth about exercise as medicine and why excuses ruin both health and business.
• How hormones actually work: testosterone, oestrogen, peri-menopause, and more.
• Why most women’s health studies are based on male data, and the problems that causes.
• The real damage drugs and substances do to your sleep, hormones, and metabolism.
• How to improve sleep, scientifically, and why poor sleep tanks your testosterone.
• Why ice baths do have science behind them (and what Frankie actually recommends).
• The reality of being a doctor on social media and dealing with misinformation.
• How she stays up to date with medical research without getting overwhelmed.
• Her experience winning the NHS Barts Hero Award.
• What the future of the NHS might realistically look like.
