New research from Nutracheck reveals that many women are quietly putting their own nutrition needs last as they juggle work, family, and the demands of daily life. Some are even going so far as to eat leftovers from their family’s plates, rather than making something for themselves. It’s no surprise then that many are turning to weight-loss medication — but without proper support, it can end up being even worse for their overall well-being. Joining Rory McGowan to discuss this is Emma White, Nutrition Lead at Nutracheck, the UK's leading calorie and nutrition tracking app.

New research by The Royal Mint suggests that many of us are feeling anxious about our finances, with concerns about global instability and the cost of living leading a third of us to reflect on the money we could have made from precious metals like gold and silver. Despite gold’s value rising by around 128% in the last five years, most people still keep their savings in a bank account rather than precious metals. Joining Rory McGowan to discuss the findings is Stuart O’Reilly from The Royal Mint.

Opportunities for young people seem increasingly sparse these days. In the post-COVID era of AI tools and austerity, a whole generation of young people find themselves less desired in the workforce than ever before. Despite high demand for apprenticeships, a shortage of entry-level vacancies is forcing them into university or unrelated work at best, and jobless and demoralised at worst. Here to discuss this increasingly desperate labour problem is Jonathan Bourne, Chief Executive Officer at Damar Training.

We’re a few weeks into the school summer holidays now, and new research out today has revealed that parents are eager to get their children outdoors but are finding it tough to do so. Half of UK parents said that children don’t get as much outdoor play as they’d like, with over a quarter feeling ashamed of the amount of time their kids spend indoors. If you’re a parent who’s trying to get their kid outside more often, then you’re in luck, because Rory McGowan is joined by Frederike Berens, an outdoor play expert from Wickey, who conducted the research.
