This podcast will share with you deep discussions I have with people that have an intriguing story, a unique lifestyle or just something important to express! We talk about life, mental health, alternative lifestyles, creativity, relationships, spirituality and everything else that describes our human experiences. My goal through these conversations is to feel connected with others and remind eachother that although we are all unique, at the same time we are all so very much alike.
#44 What Your Menstrual Cycle Is Trying to Tell You - with Abby Foreman
What if understanding your menstrual cycle could change the way you understand your body?
In this episode of I’m Intrigued, I’m joined by Abby Foreman, a Registered Nutritional Therapist specialising in endometriosis and women’s hormonal health, for a conversation about something that affects women every month but is still surprisingly misunderstood.
Why do we suddenly feel more energetic after our period? Why do cravings and bloating often appear before it? What is actually happening during ovulation? And can what we eat really make a difference to PMS, painful periods, PCOS, endometriosis and fertility?
We explore how nutrition can support hormonal health, including the role of blood sugar, intermittent fasting and supplements, as well as the lifestyle factors that can influence our hormones — from stress and sleep to caffeine, alcohol, exercise and gut health.
We also bust some of the most common hormone and nutrition myths.
And we go beyond nutrition to ask: what do we wish more women — and men — understood about the menstrual cycle?
Whether you're experiencing painful periods, PMS or other hormonal symptoms, thinking about fertility, or simply want to understand your body better, this conversation is packed with insights and practical takeaways.
Listen in, get curious, and let us know what you take away from the conversation.

#43 How to Create Health, Not Just Treat Illness - with Dr. Vijay Vendra Prakash
In this episode, we sit down with Dr Vijay Vendra Prakash, a UK-based GP and Longevity Medicine Physician who stepped outside the traditional medical system to rethink what health really means.
From working within the NHS to questioning how medicine is practiced today, we explore the gaps between treating illness and actually creating health.
We talk about:
- Everyday habits quietly damaging our health
- Fertility, hormones, and modern lifestyle
- The truth about alcohol, sugar, and “moderation”
- Functional vs conventional medicine
- Health trends and how useful they are
- How ''obsessing'' over your health can backfire
This is an honest, nuanced conversation about where modern medicine helps — and where it might be falling short.

#42 Are We Really 'Post-Colonial'? Culture & Identity in Today's World with Soumaya
In this episode, we’re joined by Soumaya, a Darija teacher and content creator based in Casablanca, Morocco, whose work explores language, identity, and decolonization.
Together, we unpack what Moroccan culture really looks like beyond the stereotypes, and why preserving Darija is about more than just language—it’s about reclaiming identity. We dive into how historical occupations continue to shape power dynamics today, and whether people are truly aware of the layers of history that influence how we see ourselves and each other.
We also get into the way “developing countries” are portrayed in Western media, the impact of those narratives, and how they shape both external perceptions and internal self-image.
From questioning what it really means to not support colonial systems in everyday life, to discussing the blurred line between awareness and practicality, this conversation challenges easy answers.
We touch on topics often judged but rarely understood—modern trends like the “trad wife” movement, why they resonate today, and whether tradition can exist without harm.
This episode is an honest, nuanced conversation about culture, power, and perception in a world that often pushes everything into extremes. If you’ve ever questioned how history shapes the present—or how to engage with these topics without getting lost in the noise—this one’s for you.
