Body Scans, Brain-Boosting Foods & The Truth About UPFs

This week, we put body scans to the test—are they the future of personal health tracking or just another wellness gimmick? We both tried them and are sharing our results, what surprised us, and whether they’re actually worth it. Plus, Europe’s life expectancy is falling, and England is seeing the biggest decline. We explore the obesity crisis, preventable diseases, and why today’s generation may live shorter lives than their parents. Next, creatine is everywhere, but should you be taking it? We break down who actually benefits, common myths, and whether it deserves a spot in your routine. Then, we talk ultra-processed foods—what actually counts as a UPF? We finally break down the NOVA system, clear up the misinformation, and answer a listener’s question about whether everyday foods like yoghurt and bread really count as UPFs. We also cover the surprising brain-boosting benefits of walnuts, why milk may lower bowel cancer risk, and the latest baby nutrition trend that’s dividing parents.
