Show Notes
First up, to mark its expansion across Europe with new stores opening in luxury destinations like Cannes and Saint-Tropez, Alo launched the Alo Voyage: Wellness Club at Sea, which recently set sail to offer an invitation-only experience aboard a 72-meter private yacht. Aboard the yacht, guests are invited to partake in elevated wellness offerings like lymphatic drainage, IV therapy and pilates. Sounds nice doesn’t it?
Next, it’s the news we all know really, but studies show that spending 120 minutes in nature per week is associated with good health and wellbeing. The researchers found that compared to no nature exposure contact, exposure of at least 120 mins in nature was associated with a 59% increased likelihood of reporting good health and 23% higher well-being.
And in trending, step forward one of two of our in-house hot men. Move over Healthspan, Hotspan is the new goal. How long can you maintain your hotness? Apparently that’s the new goal for the modern man.
A message from Sammi: I’m taking part in a fundraising challenge next month for CALM (suicide prevention), in memory of our friend Dan who passed away in 2019.
6 of us (friends of over 30 years) are attempting to cross every vehicle chain ferry in the UK - in an electric car - in under 24 hours.
It came from a line in Dan’s eulogy about a conversation on the Cowes chain ferry. Felt like something he would have loved.
The BBC are filming it and the Royal Navy are getting involved so it’s turning into a big one.
Suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50 and young people aged 15–39 in the UK, so it’s a cause that really matters. If you’re up for supporting, here’s the link: https://www.chainferrychallenge.com/donate-to-calm-and-win
(You can also guess our finishing time + win a piece of art)

We’re back with another week of headlines and the latest in the wellness industry. We start with the news that the death of a 28-year-old lab technician, Darya Shipilova, at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute in Siberia has sparked international concern over a potential pneumonic plague exposure. 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.
