The Wellness Scoop

Protein, Skin Food, and the Battle Against Birthday Cake


Listen Later

From protein pots flying off supermarket shelves to Scotland banning birthday cakes, this week we’re diving into the trends and headlines shaping the wellness world. How much protein do you really need? Is BMI an outdated measure of health? And what’s behind the viral “Oat-zempic” and chia water crazes?

We’ll also take a closer look at the man spending $2 million a year on anti-ageing protocols—are his extreme habits the future of wellness? Plus, Dr Thivi joins us to explore the connection between diet and glowing skin, with practical advice you can trust.
