The Emma Guns Show

In response to the article I wrote in The Times about whether I was daft for not using skinny jabs to lose weight, I thought revisiting my conversation with Johann Hari about his book Magic Pill, which extensively researched the benefits, limitations and risks of GLP-1 Agonist drugs such as Ozempic, Semaglutide, Wegovy and Mounjaro.Johann is thorough and meticulous in his research and this interview, originally broadcast in 2024, was before weight loss drugs became as mainstream and as widely prescribed as they are today.One of the experts Johann interviewed during his years of research, stated that the cultural impact of GLP-1s was as significant as the smart phone. At the time, it seemed like a very bold statement, but in the year since we spoke, I think it's hard to argue that they haven't completely changed the way we talk about weight, weight loss, diets, food and more...I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

Yes, you read that right... Ok, maybe not 'defence' but I'm curious about the wider social context and why it is that this person, at this time has generated so much interest and intrigued when porn has lived so comfortably out of public view.This is the brilliant piece in The Times by Janice Turner that's well worth a read for the wider context of this 'phenomenon'. 📧 Contact me:[email protected]👓 Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/Hey!

I wrote 'I Regret not Taking Ozempic' on my Substack and after the HUGE response, I thought it'd be prudent to revisit this conversation with the addiction, parenting and relationship expert Mandy Saligari.In it we discuss the complicated relationship we can have with food and our bodies.

Anxiety is a huge subject yet it's only really in recent years that we've started to accommodate as a very natural and normal emotional state. In the past, being anxious might have been seen as not being able to cope, being sensitive or needing to 'buck up' and 'get on with it'. In fact, you could argue that the world has gone from being fairly intolerant of it to being hyper aware of it. Dr Tracy Dennis-Tiwary is an expert on the subject and has written an excellent book Future Tense: Why Anxiety is Good for You (even though it feels bad) and it makes an excellent case for reframing your anxiety so you can use it to your advantage.This conversation was originally recorded in 2022.📧 Contact me:[email protected]👓 Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/Hey!

I've just finished reading The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga so thought this Bullet Points could be a book review of sorts.

I had a huge response on Instagram when I shared the best information I’ve ever heard when it comes to why protein is such an important macro nutrient. For that reason, I thought I’d share it with you again in case you missed it first time around.Right now, you can’t move for protein printed across most food packaging. Even chocolate bars have got in on the action, producing ‘high protein’ varieties of their sweet snacks to try to sell them as a key component of a healthy, balanced diet. How can this be junk food when it contains protein?What’s the truth? In 2021 I interviewed Dr Gabrielle Lyon, a double-board certified family physician trained in geriatric nutritional sciences who focuses on skeletal muscle to support longevity. It was her work with geriatric patients that highlighted the importance of maintaining lean muscle in order to live well into older age and to avoid a plethora of health issues.The fact this conversations pre-dates the obsession with protein adds, I think, real value to Gabrielle’s expertise because it was long before every ‘health expert’ was talking about protein on podcasts. This conversation actually fundamentally changed how I eat and, since we spoke, I’ve been focusing on a high protein diet for all the reasons she describes during this conversation - not least to get lean while building muscle.Hey!

It's all been a bit much lately, to be honest. Turns out, a 'sorry we missed you' notification on a day when I had WAITED IN ALL MORNING was the straw that broke the camel's back.The real lesson here is that I need to refresh my coping mechanisms because something as trivial as missing a delivery, albeit for a replacement internet router because my one inexplicably gave up a few days ago, shouldn't be the thing that makes me cry.📧 Contact me:[email protected]👓 Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/Hey!

After training with my friend and coach, Emma Storey-Gordon of The EC Method fame, I decided it was time to hit 'diesel mode' and join a gym. I've achieved LOADS with dumbbells in my living room, but to really see and feel those gains, I felt it was time to get to the gym, use the machines and start lifting more with a wider selection of weights. Who's with me?!👹 I knew discussing diet, fitness and weight loss would invite criticism and nastiness but this episode marks the last time we'll talk about it. From now on, it's block, delete and move on.🏊🏽 I went on the most incredible trip with OSKIA last week and, among other things, went wild swimming, which was an absolute revelation.👗 In this video I'm wearing:Mango off-the-shoulder t-shirt.*contains affiliate links.📧 Contact me:[email protected]👓 Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/Hey!

This episode is brought to you by a migraine. If it feels all over the place, it's because I'm all over the place today thanks to a humdinger of a migraine that's left me feeling like a slightly lopsided, cloth-tongued, weepy-eyed wimp.With that said, there are things to discuss. Such as the reaction to my weight loss, why I want to defend Jeremy Clarkson and why being slightly 'perfect' online gets more engagement. From the woman who this afternoon posted a 'fashion' reel on Instagram with smudged eye makeup and her glasses on because of aforementioned migraine.Anyway, let me know your thoughts on all of this, whether it's on email [email protected], on Instagram @emmaguns or over on my Substack.Hey!

Not just because summer is around the corner but because after two years of maintaining a 40lb weight loss, I fancy another challenge. Just to be clear, I've yo-yo dieted for the majority of my adult life and maintaining this weight loss is something I'm really proud of. The real 'win' though was overcoming something close to binge eating disorder (BED) that involved a highly emotional and irrational response to fake hunger cues. As a result, I was on a 30-year rollercoaster of either restricting, dieting and exercising excessively or eating to excess. Finding the 'happy' medium somewhere between the two has not been easy and though I'm happy with how I look now, I'd like to challenge myself to get even leaner and even stronger. Come with me on this journey?👗 In this video I'm wearing:Branded Moniker 'Emma' Tee, £25.

I love interviewing people and I adore getting to know somebody, what makes them tick and how they navigate the world and how they approach their lives via an informal chat, like the ones on my podcast feed. However, sometimes there are gems that get lost in the hundreds of episodes I've produced and I feel that now's the time to bring a few back to 'the surface' if you will. That's why I'm re-posting my conversation with Michelle Visage. She's such a thoughtful, considered interviewee and I took so much away from our conversation. Not least that if you really set your mind to something, if you see exactly where you want to get to, then you're far more likely to get there.

And, in many cases, it involves doing all these things at one. I thought I'd poke fun at this a bit (let's see if it backfires) and hopefully engage some new listeners/viewers who might benefit from hearing a different, less idealistic but hopefully more helpful approach.📰 The Instagram I posted is here: 👗 In this video I'm wearing:Adanola Rib Racer Vest Top, £24.99.📧 Contact me:[email protected]👓 Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/The Instagram I posted is here: Hey!

Let's park goal-setting until next week, but while it's fresh in the news, I wanted to talk about the current story surrounding Blake Lively's lawsuit against her It Ends with Us director Justin Baldoni. Not about the case specifically but what it throws up about how women are treated in the media and how quick people are to believe the worst of them. And how even I fell foul of this alleged smear campaign.I'm wearing the WAT the Brand Hoody and JoggersCubitts Glasses in the style MerlinHourglass Veil Hydrating Skin TintVictoria Beckham Beauty Reflect Highlighter in AmberSweed Cloud Mascara in BrownSubscribe to my SubstackFollow me on InstagramEmail me at [email protected]•contains affiliatesHey!

In this week's Bullet Points, I discuss the Gregg Wallace scandal, a huge topic in the UK this week. I share my thoughts having worked with Gregg previously. As London is 'crowned' the Phone Theft Capital of Europe, I share how a trip to London changed my perspective and how it has influenced my behaviour in the city.

The power of the re-frame is something to explore in this episode of the podcast. I've set the bar quite high for myself in the past, especially professionally, and this year has been about relaxing that tight grip on 'success'. However, it has been a puzzler simply because a lot of the positive steps I've taken to relieve some of that pressure are the things I'd do when I was struggling with depression. In one instance, it allowed me to withdraw from the world, in another it's allowed me to show up as a better version of myself. So what's the difference?Also in this episode, I ponder whether being too self-aware is a fast-track to anxiety and I lose the pot over the current 'it' body cream.Email me at [email protected] and comment on my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/Listen to the #EmmaGunsShow for free on:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6goNFPSxewG2CiP4nBcNNY?si=1448e83ed0c84479Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-guns-show/id1102982843?i=1000599251800or search 'Emma Guns' wherever you listen to your podcasts.Hey!
