Whether you're looking for a comforting wellbeing broadcast to power you
through an early start, or an in-ear PT to help take your gym gains to the
next level, we've pulled together some of the best easy-listening health and
wellbeing podcasts to guide you into spring.
1. Ted Talks: Health <https://www.ted.com/>
Smart-thinking platform TED has long been the go-to destination for
easy-to-digest knowledge, the kind of knowledge you can later use to impress
your friends at the dinner table. But did you know there's a whole podcast
dedicated to its best health and well-being lectures?
A diverse network of doctors and researchers share their discoveries about
the world of medical science, across topics ranging from mental health
support for refugees, to what hospitals of the future might look like. With
hundreds of hours of insightful audio on tap, this is the perfect podcast to
zone out to on the treadmill while you hit those hard miles.
2. 10% Happier with Dan Harris <http://10percenthappier.com/>
After Emmy Award-winning TV host Dan Harris suffered a panic attack live on
Good Morning America, he discovered meditation as a way to help ease his
crippling anxiety. A total wellness sceptic, he put pen to paper and wrote a
bestseller on how the practice changed his life. Now the unlikely 'omm'
champion has launched a podcast to take a deeper dive into the topic.
From a budding financier who threw it all in to train as a Buddhist monk, to
an NBC executive that opened a meditation studio after suffering from
burnout, Harris speaks to guests who have some pretty amazing (read: Highly
relatable) stories about stress, modern life and the pursuit of inner
happiness
3. Muscle For Life <http://muscleforlife.com/>
Keeping fit can be as confusing as it is painful. Sometimes what you really
need is a muscled Adonis to tell you exactly what to do, but who's got the
spare cash to splash out on a personal trainer to follow you about 24/7?
Thank goodness then for Mike Matthews, a trainer who's had more than seven
million downloads of his podcast Muscle For Life. Tune in as he chews over
some of the trickiest fitness quandaries out there, from how to improve fat
loss, to the right and wrong ways to bench press.
4. Owning It <https://open.spotify.com/show/5UsxoX6ikTr3ETvzQAHbdP>
Ireland is brimming with podcasts at the moment and one of the most exciting
new entries is author Caroline Foran and her anxiety podcast, Owning It.
Following on from the success of her self-help books; Owning It: Your
Bullsh*t-Free Guide to Living with Anxiety and The Confidence Kit: Your
Bullsh*t-Free Guide to Owning Your Fear, the Irish woman is bringing
practical and relaxed advice to the masses as she talks through why anxiety
happens, how to deal with it and, eventually, own it.
5. Run, Selfie, Repeat by Kelly Roberts
<https://shecanandshedid.com/run-selfie-repeat-podcast>
If you struggle to peel the pillow from your face and venture out on an
early morning jog, this pavement pounding blogger's weekly pep talks might
be all you need to fire up your inner Mo Farah.
From powering through bad days to dealing with pre-race nerves, Roberts'
audio inspo is the mental primer you need to get pumped about taking on that
10K, half marathon, or full 26.2 miles. At around 15-20-minutes, the
episodes are just long enough for you to click the kettle on and indulge in
a pre-run cuppa, too.
6. Sleep With Me <http://sleepwithmepodcast.com/>
We know, we know. We're supposed to get eight hours sleep each night. We're
also supposed to stick to a regular sleep-and-wake routine too. But
sometimes that's easier said than done, especially if your mind is in
overdrive.
This twice-weekly podcast is just the antidote for insomniacs looking to
quieten the internal whirring. They're basically a collection of 'silly
bedtime stories for adults', which are designed to distract you from
whatever is keeping you awake at night. Ingeniously ambling, and told in
creator Drew Ackerman's drawling voice, we challenge you to make it through
to the end without dozing off. You'll be snoring in no time.
