Healthy-ish is a Body & Soul wellness podcast built around a simple promise: health can be useful without becoming rigid. Felicity Harley steers the show with a warm, energetic interview style, often opening with the question of how a guest is staying healthy-ish before moving into one sharp topic. The conversations are short, accessible and practical. They also carry a clear point of view: good health is not the same as flawless discipline. Episodes move across mental fitness, food, sleep, movement, motivation and the emotional side of decision-making. Dr. Kieran Kennedy talks through stress, the difference between useful and unhelpful pressure, and whether AI belongs anywhere near mental health support. Lyndi Cohen brings a skeptical eye to weight-loss culture, weight worry, sleep, sustainable habits and eating well on a budget. Laura Henshaw and Steph Clare-Smith discuss body positivity, community, lasting habits and motivation through their work with Kik. TJ Power explains dopamine through everyday behavior, including the effect of social media checks on mood and mental health. Professor Joel Pearson brings intuition back from vague mysticism into psychology and neuroscience. Ellie Salthouse adds an athlete's perspective on the tug-of-war between training and rest. Zoe Marshall represents the show's more open-minded edge, reframing manifestation as co-creation while still being pressed toward tangible practices like declarations and vision boards. The result is a wellness show that is polished but not precious. It likes experts, but it also likes plain speech. It can talk about neuroscience, saunas, food costs, emotional states and exhaustion in the same editorial lane because the common thread is daily life. The show is especially strong when it tests popular health ideas against behavior: what someone can actually do tomorrow morning, how a habit survives a bad week, and where self-improvement becomes pressure. Its register is cheerful and direct, with enough humor to keep the advice from feeling medicinal. Healthy-ish suits listeners who want short wellness conversations that acknowledge tiredness, cravings, uncertainty and imperfection while still offering something concrete to try.
Made for: Healthy-ish is for listeners who want short, approachable wellness conversations about stress, food, sleep, fitness, motivation and mental health. It especially suits people who like expert input but reject all-or-nothing health rules.
What sets it apart: The show blends Body & Soul polish with a deliberately forgiving attitude toward health. Its guest mix ranges from neuroscientists and psychiatrists to athletes, nutritionists and wellness founders, keeping practical habits at the center.
Hosted by Felicity Harley, the Healthy-ish podcast will give you the tools to make healthier decisions, for your mind, body and soul. Featuring guest interviews with the likes of Osher Günsberg, Michelle Bridges and Turia Pitt, as well as expert intel from doctors, dermatologists and dietitians, these bite-sized episodes will arm you with the knowledge and practical advice to get back the balance. We know we can't eat, think, act and move perfectly, 100% of the time, so instead we're aiming to be healthy...ish. Join us, every morning, from Monday to Friday.
