  • Hormones, Healthy Mornings & The Truth About Sugar

    Hormones, Healthy Mornings & The Truth About Sugar
    Jul 9 2026
    This week we're answering your questions on some of the biggest areas of confusion in nutrition and wellbeing. We're discussing how diet can support hormonal health, from PCOS and amenorrhea to hormonal acne, and exploring how to care for your microbiome while taking a GLP-1 medication. We also unpack the growing conversation around fibre and digestion, including what it means if seeds seem to pass through your body intact and whether prebiotic sodas are really as gut-friendly as they're marketed to be. Plus, we're tackling the conflicting advice around healthy mornings and sugar. Does breakfast really need to be high in protein? Is coffee on an empty stomach a problem? And should fruit only be eaten alongside meals to avoid glucose spikes? As always, we're cutting through the noise to focus on what the evidence actually says.

  • Fixing Brain Rot, The 'Maxxing Obsession & Is Cereal Junk Food?

    Fixing Brain Rot, The 'Maxxing Obsession & Is Cereal Junk Food?
    Jul 6 2026
    Is Bran Flakes really junk food? Are our attention spans under threat? And have we reached peak optimisation culture? This week we unpack the government's proposed changes to healthy eating guidelines, which could see breakfast cereals like Bran Flakes classified as HFSS foods, and explore what the debate reveals about fibre, free sugars and how we define healthy eating. We also dive into new research on doomscrolling, TikTok and attention spans, including the surprising activity that may help strengthen our ability to focus. Plus, from slowmaxxing and joymaxxing to spermaxxing and nonnamaxxing, we explore the internet's latest wellness obsession and ask whether the drive to optimise everything is finally starting to backfire.

  • Food Guilt, IV Drips, Matcha Shortages & Healthy Ageing

    Food Guilt, IV Drips, Matcha Shortages & Healthy Ageing
    Jul 2 2026
    This week we're talking about food guilt, supplements and the growing pressure to optimise our health. We explore how to break free from all-or-nothing eating, whether social media is distorting our perception of what healthy living actually looks like, and why some of the most powerful habits for healthy ageing are often the simplest. We also unpack the rise of IV vitamin drips, discuss whether coconut or soy yoghurt is the better choice, answer your questions on vitamin D supplementation, peanut butter powder and matcha, and share practical advice on raising adventurous eaters and reducing food waste at home To get 30-days free on The Way App, head to thewayapp.com/wellnessscoop Send your questions for our weekly Q&A to ⁠⁠hello@wellness-scoop.com⁠⁠ For more from Rhi and Ella: Order your copy of Ella's new book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quick Wins: Healthy Cooking for Busy Lives⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Order your copy of Rhi's new book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Fibre Formula⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sign up here to check out Rhitrition+ new Food Freedom course: ⁠Rhitrition+⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

I started listening to this podcast back in May after being a follower of the Deliciously Ella brand for years, and binged every episode until I caught up recently. I'm now sad that I can't listen every time I go in the car or on a dog walk because I have to wait for each week's worth to come through, but it's worth it.

Listening to Ella and Rhiannon feels like you're with friends having a good old catch up.
The podcast is really relaxed and easy on the ears, but at the same time you get to learn how to look after your health with everything being backed by science.

It reaffirms that the simple things in life can lead us on along the most healthy pathway, I've gone to back to basics and nourishing myself with wholefoods again after a stint of 'protein is everything'. I feel liberated and the Wellness Scoop has definitely contributed to that. Thank you ladies, keep it coming.

There are so many great things about this new format podcast with Ella and her good friend - however, I get distracted and irritated by their vocal fries - such a shame. Anyone under 30 will probably deal with it or not even notice it. I have to listen to it on my own or volume turned down when I’m with my family as they mock the vocal fries. . However, the content is great and well worth listening too. They are both enthusiastic, relaxed, informative, modest, highly educated in nutrition and wellness and experienced in this field, so even if you know a lot on this subject, it is still good listening.

Different, informative, chatty

It really is about time that we had a podcast that allows people to feel normal. It’s a real theme through this first episode about how social media can make you feel really inferior and I totally see that, so hearing women say ‘it’s not real!!’ is so refreshing.
We all have our own stuff to deal with so trying to navigate around health, diet, social interactions and work can be tricky and I felt truly empowered and energised after listening. I also learnt something that’s always worried me regards calories and how our body uses or doesn’t use them, so a massive ‘thank you’ for making this easy to listen to, enjoyable and informative.

Thank goodness!
