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


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.

  • Burnout, Pushing Too Far & Learning What Really Matters | Gabby Allen
    Oct 6 2026

    Gabby Allen has always been a fitness girl, but for her, strength training isn’t just about how you look, it’s about how you feel.


    She joins Zara and Dr Emily to talk about why movement can change your whole day, what SAS really taught her about resilience, and the harder experiences behind her strength.


    Gabby opens up about panic attacks, living with scoliosis and losing her dad at 20, sharing how grief shaped her drive to make him proud, and why sometimes being strong means allowing yourself to be vulnerable.

  • How To Look After Yourself Through Grief with Izzy Utterson
    Sep 29 2026

    Can grief and joy really exist side by side? Izzy Utterson lost her mum to Alzheimer’s just two months ago, and joins Zara and Dr Emily for an honest conversation about what’s helping her navigate grief.


    She talks about why daily movement helps her manage stress and anxiety, and why she’s given herself permission to do less on the hard days, letting her goals shrink to nothing more than a shower and clean pyjamas.


    Izzy also shares why grief needs to be witnessed, not suppressed, and how she’s learned that sadness and joy don’t cancel each other out: “they can all coexist. They can all walk hand-in-hand together.”

  • The Toxic Side Of ‘Mum Internet’ Nobody Talks About | Meggan Grubb
    Sep 22 2026

    Ever wondered what happens between the post and the "post"?


    This week Zara and Emily sit down with creator and Beyond founder Meggan Grubb for an honest one. Meggan shares why she never films the chaos in real time, "I need to process it first or I will get lost in my emotions", and how that rule was tested hardest by early motherhood.


    She also opens up about early pregnancy loss and the shame that can surround it, landing on one simple truth: "every loss is a loss."


    Plus, how she rebuilt her relationship with fitness, not as a way to look a certain way, but to feel connected to herself, through Beyond, "a safe space for women's fitness."


    This is a conversation about permission: to stop performing, to grieve on your own terms, and to let wellness change as you do.
