About this listen

What does podcast success really look like?
In a world chasing viral hits and follower counts, success often hides in places less glamorous but far more meaningful—like the DM that says,
"That episode helped me rethink how I treat my body."


Since launching Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS, we’ve:
✅ Hit 5,000+ downloads in just over a year
✅ Released weekly episodes without fail
✅ Welcomed brilliant guests who bring real stories, not filtered perfection
✅ Built a trusted space for conversations on insulin resistance, gut health, light exposure, burnout, postpartum care & more


📊 For context, most podcasts never make it past episode 7, and the average show sees less than 150 downloads per episode. So to reach this milestone organically—without big sponsors or a production team—is something we’re proud of.


✨ But numbers aside, here’s what really matters:

  • People are listening—and changing.
  • They’re reflecting, challenging norms, and asking better questions about health.
  • They’re finding community in curiosity, and that’s powerful.
Special gratitude to every guest and listener who’s helped grow this ripple.
Because this isn’t just a podcast.


It’s a reminder: you don’t need more noise. You need more truth.
📥 Curious? Dive into an episode.
And if you're ready to go deeper—our Metabolic Wellbeing Workshops await.


🚀 What’s Next?


We’re taking things to the next level with the launch of our groundbreaking books:
📖 Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS – It Starts with YOU
📖 Breaking the Myths of Metabolic Wellbeing from Z - A


These must-read titles will challenge conventional wisdom, bust common health myths, and empower YOU to take control of your metabolic health, insulin resistance, gut health, mental clarity, and weight management.

    🎙️ New on the podcast: Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS, Episode #67


    Episode Title: A medical student perspective with Chloe Jenvey

    This week, I sat down with Chloe Jenvey, a 4th-year medical student in the UK, who’s boldly carving out her space in healthcare — one that is holistic, spiritual, and truly person-centric.

    🧠 From burnout to boundaries.
    🩺 From workaholism to wellness.
    🌱 From survival to conscious healing.

    Chloe opens up with honesty and humility about the pressures of medical school, the expectations placed on future doctors, and the deep re-evaluation it takes to care for others without losing yourself.

    In this episode we explore:
    🔹 What drew Chloe to medicine at 17
    🔹 Why rest is a skill — and how she learned it
    🔹 Learning and unlearning the art of self-care
    🔹 The power of healthy coping mechanisms
    🔹 Her evolving passion for General Practice and person-first care
    🔹 The value of having a mentor, and the influence of the BHMA (British Holistic Medical Association)

    💥 Chloe reminds us: “Don’t become a doctor for the money — become one for the mission.”

    This is a must-listen for anyone in medicine, healthcare, or simply navigating high-performance environments while staying human.

    📢 Let’s change the culture of healthcare from the inside out.

    Many thanks to Chloe for her openness, honesty and time for this recording.

    🎙️ NEW EPISODE DROP: Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS | Episode 66

    🧠💥 What do marathons, metabolism, kidney disease, and carb gels have in common?

    They all feature in my latest conversation with Dr Karen Dwyer — Professor and Director of Nephrology & Kidney Care at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, lifestyle medicine advocate, and one of Australia’s most inspiring clinician-scientists.

    From performing the first hand transplant in Australia to helping patients reverse disease through lifestyle-first approaches, Karen brings unmatched insight and refreshing clarity.

    🔎 In this episode:
    🩺 Why metabolic health is the foundation of all health
    💊 Why medications should support — not replace — lifestyle change
    🧂 How ultra-processed foods, salt, and insulin resistance are connected
    🏃‍♀️ The truth about carb-loading, fasting for performance & breaking the fast
    ❤️ Why kidney health is everyone's business
    🗣️ The myth of saying: “You don’t have type 2 diabetes... yet.”
    👩‍⚕️ Advice for healthcare practitioners: Be curious. Be holistic. Be human.

    Dr Dwyer also shares what drives her: being a mum of four, a marathon runner, and a fierce advocate for gender equity and patient empowerment.

    🎧 Whether you're a clinician, athlete, or someone navigating their own health journey — this is one episode not to miss.

    👉 Listen now to Episode 66:
