The Health Review

The Health Review

I’m Emily — a TV journalist and presenter on a mission to cut through the noise and find real answers about how we can take care of our health. After struggling with chronic health issues for years — from recurring infections to gut problems and burnout — I made some big lifestyle changes that completely transformed my life. Now, I use my journalism background to ask the questions we all really want answered. On The Health Review, I speak to top doctors, nutritionists, and experts to make sense of the science and debunk the endless health myths online.

The aesthetics industry has spent decades selling us the idea that ageing is something to be fixed. But what if the most important thing you can do for your face is about understanding what's actually happening to it?


In this episode of The Health Review I sit down with Dr Maude Calveley — aesthetic doctor at Ouronyx, one of London's most distinctive and thoughtful facial aesthetics clinics.

Most of us reach a point where we realise we've been so busy taking care of everything and everyone else that somewhere along the way we lost ourselves. Our health suffered, our identity shifted - and the old version of us that once felt strong, vital and purposeful became someone we could barely remember.

How many times have you left a GP appointment without the answers you went in for? Been told your pain is normal, your symptoms are just stress, or that losing weight will sort it out? For millions of women, that experience is not unfamiliar.

Women's health has come a long way in recent years. We're talking more openly about perimenopause, hormones and fertility, yet there is one area that remains surprisingly under-discussed that affects millions of women every single day and sits at the intersection of intimate health, the microbiome, fertility and long-term wellbeing. The vaginal microbiome.

More babies than ever are being born through assisted reproduction. Women are having children later, environmental factors are increasingly affecting fertility, and the world of egg freezing, IVF and embryology is changing faster than most of us realise. But what actually happens inside the lab — and what does every woman need to know before she makes any decisions about her fertility?

This one is a little different. No guest, just me — with some updates I've been wanting to share for a while and a look ahead at what's coming on The Health Review this summer.


This is a solo episode and a personal one. I talk about completing my six-month coaching diploma with Andy Ramage at Coach Business School — what coaching actually is, why it surprised me so much, and how I'm now working with clients. Also, so...

We're spending billions on supplements, gut health, longevity tracking and biological age testing. And yet one of the most powerful windows into our overall health — one that's been right there the whole time — is something most of us think about for a few minutes a day. The mouth.

Most of us approach our health the same way. We get a symptom, we find a treatment, we manage the condition. What we rarely ask is why — why is the body doing this, what is it trying to tell us, and what would it mean to actually heal rather than just cope?

We've all heard of the super agers — centenarians living well into their hundreds in the villages of Sardinia, the islands of Okinawa, regions of the world where reaching 100 in great health is almost the norm. Increasingly, longevity scientists believe that kind of lifespan could be within reach for many more of us — if we can fend off the age-related diseases that currently cut lives short. Nearly half of all UK adult...

When did you last feel totally safe in your body? When did you last connect with yourself on a deep level? For most of us, those questions sound almost foreign — and that, according to today's guest, is precisely the problem.

One in four adults in England is living with anxiety or depression. That's not a statistic from a bad year — it's the finding of the most rigorous long-term mental health survey in the world, and the trajectory has been heading in one direction for three decades. We are, by any measure, in a mental health crisis. And the treatments we have been relying on — antidepressants, talking therapies with months-long waiting lis...

Technology is doing something to us. Not just to our productivity or our sleep — but to our relationships, our identity, our capacity for genuine human connection. And most of us are only just beginning to understand the scale of it.

So many of us think we can't meditate. We've tried it, lasted forty seconds before the to-do list arrived in our mind, decided we were doing it wrong and never went back. But according to today's guest, that experience doesn't mean you failed at meditation. It means nobody taught you how to actually do it.

Most of us are incredibly busy, but busyness and productivity are not the same thing...and somewhere in the hampster wheel of accumulating more, achieving more and doing more, a lot of us have lost the thread back to ourselves.

The wellness industry is worth nearly $7 trillion. There are supplements for everything, gadgets for everything, protocols for everything. But how much of it actually works — and how much is just very convincing marketing?

Under extreme stress, the human body prioritises survival over logical thinking. Pilots have been known to shut down the wrong engine during a fire — not because they're incompetent, but because their nervous system took over before their rational mind could catch up. Sound familiar?
