Feel Good Formula

High Performance

Welcome to Feel Good Formula, a brand-new podcast hosted by Zara McDermott and expert nutritionist Dr Emily Prpa.

Think of us as your weekly, honest girls' chat. Each episode, Zara and Emily sit down with special guests to nosey into the realistic wellbeing habits, rituals, and routines that genuinely help them protect their energy, manage busy lives, and feel good.

You’ve tried the 12-step skincare routines, scrolled the TikTok "wellness" rabbit holes, and bought every supplement under the sun. Yet, while you're busy juggling a career, a packed social calendar, and the endless chaos of daily life, you’re still left wondering: is any of this actually working for me?

From gut health and skincare to sleep hacks and confidence, we're cutting through the noise and exploring it all, separating the science from the marketing spin.

Produced by the team behind High Performance, in partnership with Boots. Find your Feel Good Formula at boots.com/wellness

The Period Chat EVERY Woman Needs with Dr Hazel Wallace
How well do you really know your menstrual cycle? Dr Hazel Wallace breaks down what our hormones can mean for everything from mood and energy to skin, sleep and cravings, and why painful periods shouldn’t simply be something we learn to live with. Together with Zara and Dr Emily, she gets into the wellness trends taking over our feeds, from cycle syncing to the pressure to optimise our hormones, and explores why being cycle aware, not cycle obsessed could be a much healthier approach. It’s about understanding your body, knowing when something doesn’t feel right and remembering that when it comes to wellness, good really can be good enough.
