Summary

Does love at first sight exist? What’s the difference between love and lust? What do we look for in a partner? How does our upbringing influence our relationships? Why do people cheat? Love is a complex topic and one that we have a lot of questions on, so this week we’re breaking these common questions down, looking at idealisations versus reality; attachment theory and how to identify where you sit on this scale and how that might play out in our relationships; whether constructs like advertising, porn and Disney movies create a sense of unrealistic expectations; how often we’re really having sex and likewise how often we’re all being unfaithful; polygamy, swinging and why we’re so judgemental and so much more. Laura Mucha has spent ten years studying the above before writing the brilliant book Love Factually, and today she’s sharing an honest insight into a topic that affects us all.

before he started working with them. I know gut health is such a prevalent topic right now

and something that's so many of you are interested in too. The gut microbiome is made up of trillions

of bacteria that support pretty much all aspects of our mental and physical health, from digestion,

0:43.8

to our immune system, energy production and mental health. Keeping the right balance of good bacteria

0:49.4

in our gut is so important. Our diet and our lifestyles have a huge impact on that, but adding

0:55.4

in live bacteria can really help too. The bacteria in SimProve, which is a water-based

1:00.6

supplement, can survive the very long journey from the mouth to the gut, whether they're
