6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: well let's call them hottest stories in the health and

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: wellness world this week. Holly, welcome back.

8
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: Hello, how are you fless?

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: Good come?

10
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 2: I'm well, Thank you. I have something to share that's

11
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: happened in my baway. Tell us it's not super super

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: health adjacent, but I think wellness adjacent, so therefore relevant.

13
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 2: Have you had your colors done before.

14
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: Years ago?

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: Okay, is this where you see your season? Yes, it's

16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: been trending online for months. I was at an event

17
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: for work the other day and they had someone doing the.

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: Colors for it.

19
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 2: I guess, yes, yes winter. No, I am a light summer.

20
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: Oh yes, I mean not that I actually even remember

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: except my own.

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: No, I am a light summer, which means you're slightly

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: cool toned. But the contrast between like your hair and

24
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: your skin is not as intense as the contrast for winter. Anyway,

25
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: I have gone into this, you know, knowing that my

26
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: colors are kind of like I look good in red.

27
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: I wear a lot of black.

28
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: No, no, wrong, So what colors?

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: Pastel's fliss? Have you ever seen me wear a pastel?

30
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: No?

31
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: No, no, no.

32
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm looking forward to seeing these pastors come out.

33
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm light pastals, Yeah, lovely, but I just don't

34
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: know if they're very me. And now I've just had

35
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: to like, it's turned my life around. I always see

36
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: you in here in black all the time.

37
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: Okay, black begone.

38
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: I know, black begone. I'm allowed to wear a light

39
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: gray apparently, so I might have to just win on

40
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: that on the pinks blues and yeah, anyways, that's shaken

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: up my work. How are you? Well?

42
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: That's brighton my morning for flat today?

43
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: What's happened?

44
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: Well, I did a yoga class last night. I haven't

45
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: done this teacher. I haven't done a class with her

46
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: for a long time. And I just and she was

47
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: all about clearing energies and chakras.

48
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: Okay, and as well.

49
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: As doing she's she's quite we do a lot of

50
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: strong poses. But I woke up and I am exhausted,

51
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: knack it. I think I had I was carrying a

52
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: lot on my energy resentment. Apparently shoulders is burden and

53
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: I feel free but exhausted.

54
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: Okay, well maybe that's the first step in the path

55
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: to hire freedom and I'm into restored energy. You've got

56
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: to clear all the energy out.

57
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: First, Okay, am I going back for next week?

58
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: Well stay tuned, guy.

59
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: Anyway, hit us off with a story that grabbed your

60
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: attention this week.

61
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: So I love this story. This is by Alexandra Costa

62
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: and the headline is sorry I just saw this why

63
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: I don't want to explain why I'm not replying to

64
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: your messages, which I think is such a good line.

65
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: So good.

66
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: So it tackles the idea of urgency culture, which you

67
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 2: may or may not have heard of, but you definitely

68
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: will have experienced. So urgency culture is that need to

69
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 2: immediately respond to messages and that kind of constant availability,

70
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: which is exacerbated by our pervasive use of technology. Like

71
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: you know, we're all attached to our phones at all times.

72
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: We can be contacted on a litany of social media platforms.

73
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: We're extremely accessible these days. So while that should make

74
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: it easier in theory to get in contact with people,

75
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: it can actually make messaging a lot harder for people

76
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: as well. Have you ever found that, Fliz, Yeah.

77
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I mean I am a sucker. I am right

78
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: in the depths of this urgency culture.

79
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm feeling it big time. Yeah, I'm not

80
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: proud of admitting that. No, That's exactly what Ali says

81
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: in this piece is that while she's super super accessible,

82
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: she's also found that she finds it really difficult, like mentally,

83
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: that she's meant to reply to all these things when

84
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: she is an inherently bad messager and she's bad at.

85
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: Replying to be rude and you shouldn't.

86
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: Well exactly you feel rude. But then it's also like

87
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: she's trying to survive in your day to day, which

88
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: is hard when you're expected to be so responsive to people,

89
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: but you're also dealing with your own things as well.

90
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 2: So she spoke to psychologist Carlie Dober for The Peace,

91
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: who says that a lot of people feel really overwhelmed

92
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: by the expectation that they need to reply to people instantly,

93
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: and that's especially hard for people who have ADHD or

94
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: even anxiety, and can feel even harder to actually, like,

95
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 2: you know, find the energy to dedicate to that type.

96
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 2: And she also mentions that we don't really have, you know,

97
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 2: a common consensus on what is or is not expected

98
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,799
Speaker 2: of us with our phones, Like there are no set rules.

99
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 2: So while one person might be trying to like, you know,

100
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: have some boundaries and find you know, time for themselves

101
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,119
Speaker 2: without replying to people constantly all the time, other people

102
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: might not be like that. So it's hard to have

103
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: those rules exactly. So how can you divorce yourself from

104
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: urgency culture? Number one is to try and recognize that

105
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 2: people have different communication styles, that we're not all going

106
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: on the same rule book here, and that someone not

107
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: replying does not it's not a comment on your inherent value,

108
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 2: you know, like yeah, absolutely, yeah. And then she also

109
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: says that if you want to try and step back

110
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: from that, then you should try drafting a message to

111
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 2: your loved ones and saying that that's what you're trying

112
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 2: to do, that you're trying to step back and take

113
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 2: a bit more time.

114
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: I like that great story.

115
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: It's a great story. Or give it all a read

116
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 2: and you can have a proper, proper read through.

117
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: Well, mine's a bit more perhaps ellacious. Have you seen

118
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: this doing the rounds?

119
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: Ris and pick I have, and frankly, I'm traumatized by

120
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 2: trying to report on those drugs on body and soul

121
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: because it is a minefield.

122
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I saw this and it just made me think,

123
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: when are we going to stop these ridiculous nutrition trends.

124
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: I mean, we had Oats and pick earlier in this year,

125
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: and Rice and Pick is here. It's across socials, it's

126
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: in headlines, of course, it's on TikTok. It claims it's

127
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: an inexpensive alternative to weight loss drugs and other meal

128
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: plans that cost money to be delivered to your door.

129
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: Basically what rice and Pick. Well, the people that are

130
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: spooking it claim that it can suppress appetite and aid

131
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: weight loss by drinking this concoction every morning. What is

132
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: in the concoction rice water and lime.

133
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: Juice sounds so disgusting, Actually.

134
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: It sounds putrid. So I'm not going to tell you

135
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: how to make it because I don't want to spook

136
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: bad health advice on this podcast.

137
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 2: No, thank you.

138
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: But we know it's BS. I mean, of course we

139
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: know it's not gonna work. Yes, it's going to fill

140
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: you up. It might suppress your appetite for a short

141
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: period of time. It's low cow starchy water that will

142
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: make you feel full. But we all know the best

143
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: thing for weight loss is exercise, nutrition, increasing fiber, et cetera,

144
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: et cetera. But what this made me start thinking is, like,

145
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: we talk about a lot. We talk about these TikTok

146
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: trends a lot on this podcast. We share them, we

147
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,119
Speaker 1: have a laugh, we always debug them. But do people

148
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: actually take them seriously? I think they do. They do,

149
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: because you know, people see a lot of these people

150
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: on TikTok and social media as like an authority, which

151
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: we probably shouldn't most of the time. Exactly. Well, I mean,

152
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right, because I went into a bit of

153
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: a deep dive thinking do people actually believe these I

154
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: mean people taking them and actually using rice and pick

155
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: to lose weight. Well, a recent study came out I found.

156
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: It's from April, it's from my fitness Pal, and it

157
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: found that yes, at fifty seven percent of millennial and

158
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,360
