Summary
In today’s episode, Em and Alex are joined by model, motivational speaker and content creator Sian Green-Lord. Sian and Em have paired up with ASICS for their latest campaign, 15 Minute Weight Loss, to remind people of the importance of exercise for their mental health. In 2013, Sian underwent a leg amputation after an accident on holiday. Sian shares how the accident affected her life, her body and her mental health. Sian found that exercise did wonders for her mind, and after feeling like an outsider and an imposter at the gym, she quickly focussed on how much her body was capable of doing. Sian went from hiding herself to proudly displaying her prosthetic leg. The girls even set you some homework at the start of this episode…

| 0:30.3 | Well hopefully you've seen it now if you follow me on Instagram already and hopefully you |
| 0:35.4 | picked your jaw up off the floor when you realised the point. |
| 0:38.9 | I was just so scared, I was going to get in trouble for it. People just like preemptively cancelling me. |
| 0:45.2 | But Essex are doing this amazing campaign |
| 0:47.6 | about how we need to shift the focus from exercise |
| 0:52.4 | to take the weight off your mind. So we made these videos |
| 0:55.3 | a few of us as part of this campaign including Sean who's our guest today and we did |
| 1:00.0 | these like 15 minute weight loss videos but obviously the punchline being that we're taking the weight |
| 1:05.1 | off our minds rather than our bodies and they did this because Essex have found as part of their research |
| 1:10.5 | surrounding this campaign that the search for quick weight loss is up, or quick |
| 1:15.1 | ways to lose weight is up by 552% this year, which is insane that we've come here despite all the amazing work of body |
