Ready to learn more about your body and mind? Tune in to one of these brilliant podcasts about health, fitness and wellbeing.
There’s nothing quite like a good health and wellness podcast to give you a much-needed burst of motivation, especially when the dark, cold and wet conditions of autumn make doing anything remotely healthy feel at least 10x harder.
It’s at this time of year when showing yourself some good old TLC can make a real difference, so we’ve put together this edit of our favourite podcasts from across the health, wellness and fitness genres to give you plenty of listening material.
Handily curated as part of our new Stylist Loves section on Apple Podcasts, you’ll find everything from interviews about gut health to tips for living with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Keep scrolling to check out our picks.
The Gut Life
We couldn’t put together a round-up of our favourite podcasts without including our own, could we? Featuring interviews with experts from across the worlds of nutrition, dermatology, sleep and more, The Gut Life is the perfect place to start if you want to get to know your gut better.
Feel Better, Live More
Dr Rangan Chatterjee’s podcast regularly sits at the top of the health and wellness charts, and it’s not hard to see why. Explaining complicated topics and providing bitesize tips and tricks for listeners to apply to their own lives, the podcast makes looking after your body and mind feel simple and achievable.
ZOE Science & Nutrition
Keeping up with the latest health, fitness and wellbeing research can often feel impossible – and that’s what makes ZOE’s podcast so great. Fresh from the minds behind the health science company, ZOE Science & Nutrition sees experts break down the most recent findings and turn them into practical advice we can all use in our day-to-day lives.
Maintenance Phase
You don’t need to be an expert to know the worlds of health and wellness are full of myths and misinformation. There are so many baseless claims out there it can be hard to keep up – but that’s what Aubrey Gordon and Michael Hobbes do in their podcast Maintenance Phase. With episodes on everything from daily step counts to the demonisation of sugar, there’s plenty to take in.
WHOOP Podcast
WHOOP may be best known for its wearable trackers, but its podcast provides a deeper insight into what it takes to perform at your best. Hosted by the company’s founder and CEO Will Ahmed, the podcast features interviews with top athletes, scientists and experts to shed light on what the best in the world do to perform at their peak.
Huberman Lab
Want to get to know your brain better? Huberman Lab is the perfect place to start. Hosted by Dr Andrew Huberman – a tenured professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine – the podcast examines the relationship between the brain and the rest of the body, and how we can work with our nervous system to live better lives. Fascinating stuff.
The Food Medic
As well as being a medical professional, Dr Hazel Wallace is also a personal trainer, blogger and author, and her podcast brings all of these passions together in one brilliant package. Aimed at helping us all live healthier lives, The Food Medic features interviews with experts across the areas of fitness, mental health, nutrition and more.
The PCOS Nutritionist Podcast
As a registered nutritionist and exercise scientist who lives with PCOS, Clare Goodwin knows a fair amount about the steps you can take to support your hormonal health.
