It’s not often we get to experience something truly groundbreaking. Sammi has experienced Shiftwave first-hand and in his words “this is one of the most impactful recovery and performance technologies I’ve experienced.”

Shiftwave regulates the autonomic nervous system using powerful, pulsed pressure wave technology. Today Sammi's joined by co-founder Mike North, PhD to dive into the science behind the extraordinary Shiftwave and the incredible journey of bringing this technology to market.

Built in a lab by Shiftwave’s team of scientists, efficacy sits at the heart of this recovery and performance technology. It’s used by some of the world’s most elite athletes and high performers, as well as on the front line in war zones to supporting people with trauma.

From how we need to change our thinking about nervous system regulation, to just how vital measurement is to changing the world, this conversation is a wide ranging deep dive into truly cutting edge tech.

We start today with Balenciaga's latest move in ultra-lux athleisure. Its new TechWear line, debuting as part of the Fall 2026 collection titled “Body & Being.”, melds sport, technology and the House’s legacy of savoir-faire, the line is engineered as a direct response to today’s wellness-focused lifestyles and health-conscious rituals. But with jackets costing upwards of two and a half THOUSAND pounds, the team ask, who is this for really?

And next up, with the World Cup well and truly reaching fever pitch, especially after the weekend's results (did the team predict correctly?), we look at what the world cup means for business. Come on England!

With our focus on the Oral Microbiome in this week's episode, we thought for our Wednesday bonus we'd look back to our episode with Dr Megan Rossi, queen of the Gut Microbiome where she joined Adrienne to discuss the current state of gut health testing and its potential, explaining the nuances and limitations of commercial gut health tests.

Dr Megan Rossi (PhD, RD) founded The Gut Health Doctor in 2017 with a dream to empower everyone to take control of their health. As a scientist and practising clinician, she became frustrated that the ground-breaking research from her team and other colleagues around the world wasn’t reaching the public. Instead, dangerous myths and fads shared online were negatively impacting on the wellbeing of her patients.

Her new business Smart Strains aims to revolutionise how people understand and use live bacterial supplements. Through this game-changing range, she is empowering everyone to care for themselves and their families, providing the right strain, at the right time, in the right way – and only when you need it. With an award-winning PhD in probiotics and a family of products that use only the strains backed by international health bodies, Dr Megan Rossi is bringing credibility and clarity back to live bacterial supplements.

Today Adrienne is joined by Dr Mohammed Enayat, a London-trained GP and founder of HUM2N, a physician-led longevity and personalised medicine clinic, to discuss his shift from reactive, organ-based healthcare toward functional “root cause” and longevity/precision medicine using richer diagnostics.

They explore how wellness has become mainstream, what people really mean by “longevity”, and how HUM2N integrates traditional care with functional medicine, advanced therapies, and specialist networks. The conversation covers peptides (licensed options like GLP-1s versus unlicensed, unregulated products) emphasising risks, self-dosing concerns, and the need for physician oversight, screening, and ongoing biomarker monitoring.

They also discuss the future of luxury wellness and hospitality moving toward safer, medically guided programmes with diagnostics and follow-up, plus accessible daily habits like cardio and strength training, chewing food, hydration, and timing meals.
