  • Intermittent Fasting, Secrets to Gut Health and Biggest Nutrition Myths

    Intermittent Fasting, Secrets to Gut Health and Biggest Nutrition Myths
    Jan 15 2026
    This week we’re answering your biggest nutrition questions with Professor Sarah Berry, one of the UK’s leading nutritional scientists. Together we break down how to really understand UPFs, what the science says about seed oils and how to spot the healthier options, and the simple everyday principles that genuinely support how you feel. We dive into gut health and why diet diversity matters, the myths surrounding glucose, whether intermittent fasting is useful, and the truth about everything from plant points to low-fat foods. It’s a clear, practical, myth-busting conversation designed to cut through the confusion and help you feel confident in your everyday choices.

  • Chocolate for Ageing? Friendship & The Nervous System Explained

    Chocolate for Ageing? Friendship & The Nervous System Explained
    Jan 12 2026
    This week we’re unpacking three of the health stories that have been everywhere as January gets underway. We start with why friendship and social connection are now being talked about as a serious health issue, from loneliness in our 30s to the growing evidence that connection supports mental health, reduces inflammation and even influences longevity. We then look at the headlines linking dark chocolate to ageing, breaking down the new research on cocoa compounds and biological age, why it was picked up so widely, and what it does and doesn’t mean in real life. As ever, context matters more than hype. Finally, we dive into the nervous system and the vagus nerve, one of the biggest wellness trends heading into 2026. We explain what’s actually going on beneath the buzz, why so many people feel overstimulated and wired, and what genuinely helps your nervous system feel calmer and more regulated, without falling for quick fixes.

  • Gut Health, Supplements & Eating Well Without Obsession

    Gut Health, Supplements & Eating Well Without Obsession
    Jan 8 2026
    In this episode, we’re answering your questions on gut health and everyday nutrition, focusing on what genuinely supports your body without tipping into overwhelm or rigid food rules. From fibre and fats to supplements and sweeteners, we unpack what actually matters and how to build habits that feel sustainable in real life. We talk about how quickly dietary changes can influence gut health, why small additions like seeds, fibre-rich foods and regular meals can make a noticeable difference, and what that tells us about how responsive the gut microbiome really is. We also break down the differences between omega 3, 6 and 9, how to think about seed oils without fear, and when supplements like zinc may be genuinely helpful, particularly after pregnancy. We also spend time on the emotional side of eating well. We discuss how to nourish your body without slipping into obsessive behaviours, how to navigate body image pressure and online trends, and why true health should support flexibility, enjoyment and resilience rather than control.

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!
