This week, Lauren and Nicole tried out halotherapy - otherwise known as sitting in a salt cave for an hour. Strap in for a rather chaotic show, from all the usual science to a heated discussion about Liz Hurley’s and Keanu Reeves’ aeroplane habits - one that forces the ladies to blacklist one very unlucky celebrity from our club.

Approximately one in four people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year. Mental Health Awareness Week aims to get people talking about their mental health and reduce the stigma that can stop people from asking for help. On today’s show, Lauren and Nicole bring insight from you, our wonderful listeners, on what has helped you with your own mental health journey, plus an interview with our resident therapist, Kate Medlin. The ladies discuss how to parent through mental health, help loved ones who may be struggling, and prioritise ourselves when we really need to. All that, and how Nicole’s puppy weeing on the bed was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

This week, Lauren and Nicole tried out grounding! Also known as earthing, grounding occurs when you connect electrically to the earth - think walking barefoot in nature. But not everyone has access to grassy knolls and beachy vistas, so Lauren and Nicole are trying out a handful of products designed to allow you to ground from the convenience of your own home. Did grounding make it into the club? Listen to find out!
