Episode 101: How to Feel Good in December Without Rules, Guilt or Starting Again in January December can feel like a relay race with no finish line, which is why we slowed things down to build a flexible, human approach to the holidays. We talk candidly about keeping energy high without rigid rules: water on the table, sleep that stays sacred, five quiet minutes that change your digestion, and an 80–20 food strategy that lets you enjoy parties without wrecking your week.

2025/12/11

Episode 100 Confetti, cake, and a truth bomb: hitting 100 episodes wasn’t about luck, it was about relentless consistency, a lot of curiosity, and one very chatty stomach. We look back at the conversations that made us rethink everything—from the guest who schooled us on neuroplasticity to the series that turned hormone chaos into everyday sense. If you’ve ever wondered why your focus wobbles, how gut health actually influences mood, or whether midlife is a slide or a springboard, you’ll feel...

We sit down with Maddy Haaland—once a West End performer, now an acupuncturist and coach in Whitstable—to trace a life that moved from bright lights to deep healing without losing its song. Her story begins with ballet dreams, shifts into musical theatre, and confronts the pressure most audiences never see: relent...

Doing Everything ‘Right’ and Still Gaining Weight?...

Far 2 Fabulous ·

2025/11/27

A woman joins the gym, grinds 30–40 minutes of cardio every day, keeps the weights light, fasts four days a week, relies on laxatives, and gains two kilos. Familiar? We’ve seen this pattern again and again, and we break down why it happens—and how to turn it around with a plan that respects stress, hormones, and real life. We start by dismantling the “eat less, do more” script that pushes women into chronic stress: steady-state cardio in the middle zone, under-fuelling, and long-term constip...

Episode 97: Fire, Trapeze, And A Midlife Marathon with Louisa McShane. What happens when you mix marathon grit, firefighter standards, and a fear-conquering leap on the flying trapeze? We invited Louisa to the mic to share how a ten-week sprint to the London Marathon collided with a life-changing bid to join the fire service, and how both journeys reshaped her strength, mindset, and identity in her mid-40s. We start with the rebuild after Covid, when group classes vanished and habits f...

Abs-urd: Why a Flat Stomach Isn’t the Point

2025/10/16

Episode 92 Abs-urd: Why a Flat Stomach Isn’t the Point. A single moment in a shop—two women, three stone lost, and still “not enough”—opened a bigger conversation about why so many of us measure our worth by a flat tummy. We take you inside the subconscious, where safety and belonging outrank motivation, and show how decades of programming and social media filtering make “smaller” feel like the only path to approval. This isn’t a willpower problem; it’s an identity problem. And identity, than...

Episode 91 Most of us don’t give the gallbladder a second thought — until it becomes a problem. But this small organ has a big role to play in women’s health, especially during perimenopause and menopause. In this episode, I dive into the hidden connection between the gallbladder, bile flow, and hormone balance. You’ll learn why bile isn’t just for digestion, how sluggish clearance can fuel estrogen dominance, and the early warning signs your gallbladder may be struggling — before it becomes ...

Is this perimenopause… or is it burnout?

2025/10/02

Episode 90 Your body thinks there's a tiger in the room, but it's just your overwhelming to-do list. That constant state of fight-or-flight is driving you toward burnout, even if you're still functioning on the outside. Most midlife women don't recognise the subtle signs of burnout until they're completely exhausted. You wake feeling unrefreshed despite sleeping. Small irritations trigger disproportionate reactions. You catch every cold. Sugar, salt, and caffeine become necessary fuels. Your...
