Show Notes
Welcome back!
It’s September, it’s time to lock in for the last part of the year, and so naturally Adrienne, Oli & Sammi are back for a new season of the Modern Wellness Podcast… Season 8!
But the good news stops there. We start the series looking at the latest government announcements, advising the nation to get prepped for an emergency. How would you prepare for an emergency? How would you cope? And what about your relatives, friends, neighbours and colleagues? These are the questions the government wants people to ask themselves, as emergency planners warn of growing threats from heatwaves and flooding, as well as potential cyber attacks by hostile states that could cripple vital energy infrastructure. And from a wellness perspective - how much have you thought about this? Are you stocked up? Have you tried a trial run? And do you have a well?
Next up, we look at the dramatic financial news that Nike exited the S&P 100 Index on September 21, 2026, ending an 18-year run due to a dramatic drop in market capitalisation. But what really has happened to get the company to this stage? What does thew market look like now? And what should Nike do next?
And finally, in trending we’re talking about Flu Camp. Getting paid (thousands of pounds) to take time off work sure sounds good, and ten days alone was certainly tempting during the school holidays but what do our hosts make of it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The facts of the story remain unclear, but as flu season is approaching - should we be taking better precautions? And more generally, there's a wider conversation about our exposure to news, and how that can affect our daily lives.
Today we're joined by Eamon Lloyd, VP of Partnerships at Wellhub, to unpack the findings from Wellhub's Fitness Business Growth Report 2026.
First we start with the news that Dyson has launched a £420 toothbrush that films ‘live cleaning footage’ inside your mouth. The toothbrush will clean, floss and even spray tiny jets of mouthwash, but it’s an eye-watering amount of money for a mouth-watering piece of kit. What do the team reckon? Read more here.
