High Performance

18 episodes

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

More about the show

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
