#176 Tap Water Safety, Wellness Dating & How Much Tinned Fish Are You Buying?
Modern Wellness PodcastShow Notes
It’s the last Monday episode of the series before we break for the summer! First up... would you go for a run on a date? The rise of the “wellness date” reflects a deeper redefinition of modern romance. As dating app fatigue sets in, an entire generation is craving more honest interactions—and a shared breathwork class, a yoga session, or a guided meditation for two often reveals far more than an hour of polite conversation over drinks.
Next up… tap water. It’s a controversial topic in the wellness industry. Are you happy to plug straight from the tap or are you firmly filtered? The team dig in to the stats to uncover what really is going on, and should we really be worried about how much water we’re drinking rather than the quality of the water itself?

And in Trending, Adrienne is looking at tinned fish. Whilst we covered the Sardine Diet earlier in the series, and did not advise that level of fish consumption, as a part of a balanced diet the stats really do not lie. There’s no denying the vibe for tinned fish has changed from world war rations to east London hipster, but will you be cracking open a can yourself? Hosted on Acast.

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.
