Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Welcome to The Wellness Scoop, your weekly dose of health and wellness inspiration. And as always, we're both here as your hosts. I'm Ella Mills.
And I'm Rhiannon Lambert. And after a decade in the wellness industry, we know that it can be incredibly overwhelming and confusing. And that's why this podcast is here to cut through the noise and make healthier living simple, fun and personal. Exactly that. And Rhi, what have we got coming up in today's show? OK, in today's show, we have got the protein divide.
Gosh, and what the latest heart health guidance actually says. Are we falling out of love with a veggie lifestyle? New data shows some interesting trends. The optimism effect and how mindset shapes physical health. And then Britain's favourite vegetables, ranked for nutrition and gut health. And the trend of the week we've got today, Cosmeticorexia, the growing pressure to optimize appearance.
First, Ella, what have you been up to this week?
Well, do you know what? Spoiler. We always record on a Monday ready for this next Monday. So we're doing it very much semi in real time, I'd say. But we're recording two weeks early because I think we're both away next week. We're away celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary.
So we are off.
Yeah, I know. We're off to Sicily with the kids, obviously. We're a romantic trip. But yeah, I can't believe it. So, yeah, that's my personal news.

Chapter 2: What are the latest dietary guidelines regarding protein sources?
Oh, that's so lovely. I've never been to Sicily. I've always wanted to go. How beautiful.
Yeah, I'm so excited. So we go in a couple of days. We've got five days there.
I can't wait. Lovely. Do you know, I've been really... I'm totally different from Sicily topic, but I've been sharing the Artemis journey with the kids. You know, the space shuttle that has gone the furthest... Is it that the people, the astronauts have gone the furthest they've ever travelled away from planet Earth before in a different direction around the moon?
This is the furthest that humans have ever been from planet Earth. I mean... Round trip of something like 700,000 miles.
Chapter 3: How does mindset influence physical health and well-being?
I... Have been so emotionally invested. Obviously, we're recording this on the Monday and the astronauts landed back Friday night. So it will be two weeks by the time this actually comes out. But it's kind of just happened as we record this.
Chapter 4: What are Britain's favorite vegetables and their health benefits?
I have been obsessed with it. I honestly I woke up on Saturday morning.
and it was like 5 30 in the morning and I was like oh my gosh oh my gosh I had this like trepidation opening up the news to see like they've landed safely and I I honestly bawled my eyes out it's just this crazy intersection of kind of faith belief curiosity scientific discovery just amazing innovation all coming together and it's just the epicenter of that it's just extraordinary
It really is.
Chapter 5: What is cosmeticorexia and how does it affect our relationship with appearance?
And my eldest asked me, Mummy, how fast does that spaceship go? And I looked it up, 30,000 miles per hour, Ella. It's unthinkable. And it brings you back to remembering we are essentially like a tiny ant on this planet. When you look at space, I almost don't like thinking about it. I find it hard to conceptualize because I don't like the idea that I have no control, really,
I actually love her.
Do you? I find the whole idea of us floating in the unknown abyss. It's hard to even put it into words how to describe how that makes you feel.
I find it really soothing. It's like you're so small that, you know, you might as well let go. And we're stressing over these things that are so, like, minuscule in the kind of state of the universe. And actually, interestingly, that's... She brings the calm. She brings the calm. But that's what the female astronaut said.
She said the thing that struck her most, almost, from the whole experience when she was doing a press conference afterwards was...
actually looking back down at earth and the smallness of earth in the kind of black abyss and i don't know i think it's actually in a way like a really reassuring and calming perspective like the world's going on around us and the universe is going on around us and we get so het up and so stuck in our little day-to-day to-do lists
So I like that approach. I think I need to adopt that because my head was spiraling. This goes to show where our different thought processes go into the scary environmental challenges at the moment that are going on in relation to obviously different wars that are imploding and things happening on the planet. And the fact we only get one planet Earth and we are not looking after it.
There's species of penguins now for the first time that haven't survived because of global warming over Antarctica. There's a lot going on in the world. When I think about planet Earth being this very special place, I just feel we need to all remember that sometimes, that we are just a tiny ant and we have to do our job to look after it as well. But that's where my brain goes, Ella.
I want to lean into the calm side now. Have you started tapping yet? Do you know, I haven't. And it's on my agenda this week. This week, finally, everyone's back at school. I feel I can focus and really get my head stuck down into new projects. I've got the new Nutrition Plus area launching any day now. And I just cannot wait to be able to offer.

Chapter 6: What trends are emerging in plant-based eating?
But ultimately, I think there's definitely something so inherently positive to come out of it, that behavior and biology isn't the only thing here. It really is how our body responds to stress and how our mind has power over that as well.
That mindset is so, I think it's actually one of the hardest bits to shift. If you think about shifting like what you cook for supper or going on a quick walk today, shifting your mindset, certainly for me, like who's overhauled every aspect of their life. Like I didn't use like vegetables, I didn't like exercise. I feel like I have changed every element of my lifestyle over the last 15 years.
And I think by far and away, the most difficult thing has been shifting my mindset to be a more glass half full, relaxed, easygoing, easy breezy kind of person. That has for sure been the biggest slog in all.
A hundred percent. I'm totally with you there. I think Ella's done a wonderful job at sharing us. Well, sharing with me, especially as well, that it takes a lot to shift mindset and create new habits. And it's definitely worth doing if you can focus in on it, everybody does. So our final headline today is the UK's favorite veg. I have to say, I have done a feature on this before.
I did it when the plant-based book came out and I had to go through all the different vegetables, but they've been ranked for health here. And it's based on Tesco's top 10 bestsellers and which are actually best for you out of the top 10 bestsellers. Now we know there's no one superfood, but I am intrigued. Which ones have they pulled out? I know. Yeah.
So Tesco is the UK's biggest retailer. So their top 10 best selling veg is pretty indicative of the country's top 10 best selling veg. And those are potatoes, carrots, broccoli, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, cabbage, cauliflower, green beans and garlic.
Before we go into the ins and outs of which is the best of them all, I'll tell you, nothing annoys me more, sorry, than in interviews when people are like, what is the one food I need to eat? And I'm like, no, no, no, no.
I get it every single time, Ella. Every single time. What do you normally answer it with? No one food is superior to another. They've all got wonderful elements, but there are a few if you enjoy them that you can definitely prioritize in your diet.
But, you know, when it comes to comparing vegetables, like I recently had a company approach me for a PR campaign trying to compare confectionery to vegetables. What? Yeah, it was a bit dodgy, but it was an interesting one. But they listened to me. You know, I went back and I said, look, I can't ethically do this. I understand where you're coming from. It happens all the time, Ella.
