  • Is Coffee Good for You? The AI Monk & Gut–Brain Health

    Is Coffee Good for You? The AI Monk & Gut–Brain Health
    Feb 23 2026
    In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the headlines shaping how we think about brain health, everyday habits and modern wellness. First up, we look at a major long-term study exploring tea and coffee consumption and dementia risk, and what it adds to the conversation around coffee and brain health. Then, we unpack the growing evidence linking gut health, inflammation and cognitive decline, and why what’s happening in the gut may matter more for the brain than we once thought. And finally, we turn to what’s trending in wellness, from the viral AI monk offering algorithmic calm to the resurfacing of AG1 supplement data, and what both stories reveal about trust, influence and the commodification of wellbeing online.

  • Sweet vs Savoury Breakfasts, Celeb Supplements & ACV Shots

    Sweet vs Savoury Breakfasts, Celeb Supplements & ACV Shots
    Feb 19 2026
    This week on The Wellness Scoop, we’re answering your questions on breakfast smoothies, savoury breakfasts, blood sugar balance and the wellness habits everyone seems to be talking about right now. We unpack whether blending foods like oats and bananas actually changes their nutritional value, take a closer look at glucose-focused eating, ACV shots and food-order hacks, and explain what the evidence really says about managing blood sugar in midlife without extremes. We also discuss celebrity-backed supplements like NMN, what we know (and don’t know) about longevity claims, and finish with a calm, evidence-based look at deodorant versus antiperspirant, aluminium fears and how to think about everyday chemical exposure without panic.

  • Reclaiming Our Attention, Cancer-Linked Ingredients & Fermented Foods

    Reclaiming Our Attention, Cancer-Linked Ingredients & Fermented Foods
    Feb 16 2026
    This week on The Wellness Scoop, we’re talking about why so many of us feel constantly distracted, what new research is revealing about cancer-linked ingredients in everyday foods, and why fermented foods are one of the most evidence-backed habits worth building into real life. We break down why attention feels so hard to hold onto right now, how scrolling, sleep and alcohol quietly shape focus and memory, and what the science actually shows helps us reclaim concentration without cutting technology out altogether. We also unpack major new studies linking long-term exposure to certain food preservatives with increased cancer and type 2 diabetes risk, what this says about how our food system has changed, and the realistic food swaps that matter most. We close by looking at fermented foods, why aiming to include them weekly, or ideally daily, is strongly linked to better gut health, lower inflammation and overall wellbeing, and how to do it simply.

I started listening to this podcast back in May after being a follower of the Deliciously Ella brand for years, and binged every episode until I caught up recently. I'm now sad that I can't listen every time I go in the car or on a dog walk because I have to wait for each week's worth to come through, but it's worth it.

Listening to Ella and Rhiannon feels like you're with friends having a good old catch up.
The podcast is really relaxed and easy on the ears, but at the same time you get to learn how to look after your health with everything being backed by science.

It reaffirms that the simple things in life can lead us on along the most healthy pathway, I've gone to back to basics and nourishing myself with wholefoods again after a stint of 'protein is everything'. I feel liberated and the Wellness Scoop has definitely contributed to that. Thank you ladies, keep it coming.

There are so many great things about this new format podcast with Ella and her good friend - however, I get distracted and irritated by their vocal fries - such a shame. Anyone under 30 will probably deal with it or not even notice it. I have to listen to it on my own or volume turned down when I’m with my family as they mock the vocal fries. . However, the content is great and well worth listening too. They are both enthusiastic, relaxed, informative, modest, highly educated in nutrition and wellness and experienced in this field, so even if you know a lot on this subject, it is still good listening.

Different, informative, chatty

It really is about time that we had a podcast that allows people to feel normal. It’s a real theme through this first episode about how social media can make you feel really inferior and I totally see that, so hearing women say ‘it’s not real!!’ is so refreshing.
We all have our own stuff to deal with so trying to navigate around health, diet, social interactions and work can be tricky and I felt truly empowered and energised after listening. I also learnt something that’s always worried me regards calories and how our body uses or doesn’t use them, so a massive ‘thank you’ for making this easy to listen to, enjoyable and informative.

Thank goodness!
