Season 5 Finale!!!
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy are everywhere right now – but what’s the truth behind the hype?
This week, we’re joined by Dr. Daniel Gordon, GP and founder of Olive Health in Temple Fortune, for a no-nonsense conversation about GLP-1s. We dig into the how, why, and what happens next – including the fact that yes, you can take them without making any lifestyle changes… but should you?
We cover:
– How GLP-1s actually work
– Who they’re for (and who they’re not)
– Long-term pros, cons, and considerations
– Whether it's a shortcut or a stepping stone
– What patients need to know before starting
Whether you're curious, skeptical, or somewhere in between — this one's a must-listen.

We have had a little break but we are back with and we’re joined by two incredible women who are not only physios but also clinic founders with a story remarkably similar to ours.

Whether muscle growth is possible when you're eating less
The biggest mistakes women make when trying to “tone up”
And how to train smart so you protect (and even build) lean muscle while losing fat

As personal trainers, people often assume we have it all figured out - confidence, the "perfect" body, and zero insecurities. But the truth? We struggle just like everyone else.

A former Journalist and TV Producer, Anna spent 17 years at Sky where she was an industry leader in women’s sports journalism and was listed in Management Today’s 35 Under 35. She has also served as Non-Executive Director in Sports governance. Anna founded and produced the Sportswomen programme, led the Special Journalism Unit at Sky Sports News and was at the forefront of the changing landscape for women’s sports on screen and in the newsroom during her broadcasting career.
Whilst transitioning back to work from maternity leave Anna experienced debilitating perimenopause symptoms which she struggled to get treatment for. As a journalist, Anna started researching and was shocked to discover she was not alone. Anna then looked deeper into company culture in the UK only to discover that there was a further lack of understanding and support available to women in the workplace. So Anna set out on a mission to change this. Anna made the bold and brave decision to resign from her long and happy career and went on to train and qualify with the Academy of Executive Coaching – one of the world’s most certified executive coach training providers. Using the expert training she received there, combined with her broad and deep experience of her years in the corporate world, Anna launched Allerton Consulting.
