Metabolic Wellbeing without the BS
What does podcast success really look like?
In a world chasing viral hits and follower counts, success often hides in places less glamorous but far more meaningful—like the DM that says,
"That episode helped me rethink how I treat my body."
Since launching Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS, we’ve:
✅ Hit 5,000+ downloads in just over a year
✅ Released weekly episodes without fail
✅ Welcomed brilliant guests who bring real stories, not filtered perfection
✅ Built a trusted space for conversations on insulin resistance, gut health, light exposure, burnout, postpartum care & more
✨ But numbers aside, here’s what really matters:
- People are listening—and changing.
- They’re reflecting, challenging norms, and asking better questions about health.
- They’re finding community in curiosity, and that’s powerful.
Special gratitude to every guest and listener who’s helped grow this ripple.
Because this isn’t just a podcast.
It’s a reminder: you don’t need more noise. You need more truth.

MIGRAINES, SALT & METABOLIC HEALTH… WHAT IF WE’VE BEEN GETTING IT WRONG?
Episode #84 of Metabolic Wellbeing without the BS is one of the most thought-provoking and myth-busting conversations yet.
This episode features the incredible Angela Stanton — a globally recognised researcher whose work challenges conventional thinking around migraines, electrolytes, brain health and metabolism.
🎙️ In this deeply insightful discussion, we explore:
⚡ Why the brain NEEDS salt
⚡ The metabolic importance of sodium
⚡ The critical balance between potassium and sodium
⚡ How electrolytes impact blood pressure, kidney function and cellular health
⚡ The misunderstood relationship between migraines, vertigo and “chemical imbalances”
⚡ Why many migraine sufferers may have been given incomplete answers for years
⚡ Nutritional and electrolyte approaches to prevention and recovery
Angela’s academic background is extraordinary:
🎓 PhD in NeuroEconomics with neuroscience research
🎓 fMRI certified through Harvard University
🎓 MS from Stanford University
🎓 BSc Mathematics from University of California, Los Angeles
Yet what makes this conversation especially powerful is that Angela’s work is not just academic. As a lifelong migraine sufferer herself, her research journey became deeply personal — leading her to develop globally recognised nutritional and electrolyte-based approaches helping thousands around the world.
This episode will challenge assumptions.
It will spark debate.
And it may completely reshape how you think about metabolic wellbeing and brain health.
📢 Whether you are:
✔️ A healthcare professional
