How quick is premature ejaculation? May 01, 2024

Show notes

According to the British Association of Urinological Surgeons, somewhere between 20 and 30% of men experience premature ejaculation. But of those men, less than a quarter actually seek medical advice.

That’s despite it being an issue that often takes a toll psychologically on the man and the relationship they have with their partner. If it's always been an issue, it's termed primary premature ejaculation; whereas if it occurs after a period of normal ejaculation, it's called "secondary." And various factors can contribute to the condition.

Like what? Just how long do most people have sex for? What should men do if the problem persists? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

The Broccoli Freckles trend is a case in point. Iif you haven’t already heard of it, you could be forgiven for thinking it’s got something to do with food. But that’s actually not the case - in reality it’s a beauty hack! And it really started taking off on Tiktok in the first few months of 2024. At the time of recording, there have been over 60m related posts.

Where does the broccoli part come from then? Well, it's natural at least, isn’t it? I don’t get it: how have freckles come back into fashion all of a sudden? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Could SMART goals help you reduce stress? Apr 27, 2024

Show notes

All personal development coaches emphasise the importance of setting goals, even ones that may seem out of reach at first. Doing so not only boosts motivation but also enables gradual achievement.

Nowadays a lot of people find this kind of approach almost second nature, but others struggle with it. A fear of failure, workplace anxiety, and a lack of self-confidence can make ambition seem unattainable.

What does the S.M.A.R.T. acronym stand for then? But is goal-setting actually an effective approach? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Why do men often wake up with an erection? Apr 26, 2024

Show notes

A lot of people think that morning erections are triggered by erotic dreams, or a need to pee, but in fact they're a physiological reflex linked to sleep. That’s right - they’re not dependent on sexual arousal at all.

And in a somewhat similar way, women actually also experience increased blood flow to the clitoris during the night. Now, the scientific term for a nighttime erection is nocturnal penile tumescence, or NPT for short, and men get a few each night on average. They occur during REM sleep phases, which make up around 20% of total sleep time.

What exactly is REM sleep? Are you saying it’s an involuntary reflex then? What if I stop experiencing morning erections? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Is the gut really our "second brain"? Apr 25, 2024

Show notes

You have surely felt butterflies in your stomach before a big event or had a ‘gut’ feeling about something. You might even say you need to ‘digest’ some big news. Our stomach is sometimes dubbed the ‘second brain’ and it's more than just a metaphor.

The term gained traction in the West in 1999, thanks to Dr. Michael Gershon’s book “The Second Brain.” However, the concept isn’t new. Ayurvedic medicine, an ancient Indian healing system, has recognized the gut-brain connection for thousands of years. In Ayurveda, the digestive system and the mind are intertwined; a disturbance in one affects the other. This link is embodied in the concept of Agni, or ‘digestive fire,’ which pertains to both physical digestion and the processing of emotions and thoughts. Nourishing our Agni with the right foods can make us feel better, both physically and mentally.

Where did this idea originate? Is there scientific backing for this brain-gut connection? Can taking care of our gut improve our mental well-being?

Who is US presidential candidate "Literally Anybody Else"? Apr 24, 2024

Show notes

Today we're going to talk about a 35-year-old American man who's taken an unconventional approach to his country's upcoming presidential election.

Dustin Ebey, as he used to be known, is a maths teacher and military veteran from Dallas, Texas. And lately, he's been stirring up quite the buzz. That's because he went and changed his name to "Literally Anybody Else", as a bold statement against American politics and its two-party system in particular.

What prompted Ebey’s name change? Can you really just change your name to something as obscure as that in the U.S.? Does he really stand a chance of becoming President? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What's the best way to cut your toenails? Apr 24, 2024

Caring for yourself involves more than just tending to your nails; it's about making sure they're well-groomed, especially those on your toes. Trimming them properly is also key to avoiding painful ingrown nails, but on the other hand going overboard with your clippers can cause problems too. So let’s discuss how to find the right middle ground.

According to the East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, the best tool for the job is either nail clippers, which are lever-style cutters, or nippers, which have more of a plier style. It may be easiest to cut your nails after you’ve had a bath, shower, or footbath, as they’lll be slightly softer as a result.

What’s the best cutting technique then? What if I end up with an ingrown nail? What about if my toenail goes yellow or black?

What is the 12 week method for achieving your goals? Apr 23, 2024

Show notes

Every January, many of us set ambitious resolutions for the year ahead. We jot down our aspirations, fueled by goodwill, and promise ourselves that this time, we won’t give up after just a month. But somehow, as the year unfolds, our motivation wanes, and those once-clear goals seem increasingly elusive. If you’re tired of this cycle, it might be time to consider a fresh approach: the twelve-week method.

Imagine achieving all your goals within just three months. Sounds challenging, right? But fear not! The Twelve-Week Method, also known as the “Twelve-Week Year,” emerged from a personal development book published in 2013 by American entrepreneurs Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington. Drawing on their experience as managers in major international companies, they designed this method to boost productivity while preventing burnout during periods of low motivation.

What is the 12 week method? Why Twelve Weeks? So what is the Solution? So how do you go about it?

Coffee purists tend to look down on the likes of the latte, cappuccino and mocha, suggesting that only black coffee is the real deal.

They often double down by saying that drinking coffee with milk causes bloating and messes with digestion. But a recent study from the University of Copenhagen found that it might actually be beneficial for our health, after all.

How so? Is the link proven then? It should help to change some people’s mindsets though, shouldn’t it? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
