Begin Again with Davina McCall · Deliciously Ella: Why Diets Feel Impossible & How To Enjoy Food Again (It’s not your willpower) · 8 Jan 2026 podcast

It was a collection of different things but the main thing was something called postural tachycardia syndrome and that's this heart rate problem but then I had something called mast cell activation disorder as well and a few other challenges and

And no one's sure why it happened or anything.

I tested positive, but it was for glandular fever, but I'd never had any symptoms.

I'd had a really, really bad food poisoning very shortly beforehand.

So who knows what kicked it off, but obviously something did.

And I just remember so clearly, I kind of had, I had this conversation with the doctor, as I said, it was sort of six, eight months into this cycling through the different medications.

And he said, like, we just don't have anything else to try anymore.

And it was just the moment that it like sunk in that this was my life.

And I couldn't really live, you know, there was nothing, I couldn't live any semblance of a normal life.

And I had completely taken for granted that as something that I would do.

You know, I could get a job and live independently and choose if I wanted to get married or have children.

And I didn't have this like set plan for my life.

I wasn't someone who'd grown up being like, I've always dreamed of doing X, Y or Z. I've always dreamed this will be my life.

I really didn't know what I wanted from life.

And I feel like it could have gone in so many different directions.

But I had taken for granted that sense of an independent life with possibility.

And it was such a strange age as well, I think, to be ill in that sense, because everyone is living this life of infinite possibility.

You know, I look at, I feel like I'm in that stage now where lots of my friends are very, very busy with work or small children or various different responsibilities and everyone's lives are quite small at the moment.

Whereas I think that age in your early 20s, everyone's lives feel huge and people are travelling and they're having all these great experiences.

And I was watching them via refreshing Facebook and just kind of seeing other people's lives unfold.
