Yes, you read that right... Ok, maybe not 'defence' but I'm curious about the wider social context and why it is that this person, at this time has generated so much interest and intrigued when porn has lived so comfortably out of public view.This is the brilliant piece in The Times by Janice Turner that's well worth a read for the wider context of this 'phenomenon'.
I wrote 'I Regret not Taking Ozempic' on my Substack and after the HUGE response, I thought it'd be prudent to revisit this conversation with the addiction, parenting and relationship expert Mandy Saligari.In it we discuss the complicated relationship we can have with food and our bodies. Whether it's food addiction or something a little more complicated and why a distorted relationship with food can also show up in how you manage love and money...
In this episode of Bullet Points, you can join me on the rollercoaster of cutting my own fringe, plus why I've decided to put a paywall on my Substack. Yep, I've been writing and posting on my Substack for free and as someone said to me recently, 'how are people going to know your time and effort are worth anything if you're constantly giving it away for free?'
Anxiety is a huge subject yet it's only really in recent years that we've started to accommodate as a very natural and normal emotional state. In the past, being anxious might have been seen as not being able to cope, being sensitive or needing to 'buck up' and 'get on with it'. In fact, you could argue that the world has gone from being fairly intolerant of it to being hyper aware of it. Dr Tracy Dennis-Tiwary is an expert on the subject and has written an excellent book Future Tense: Why Anxiety is Good for You (even though it feels bad) and it makes an excellent case for reframing your anxiety so you can use it to your advantage.This conversation was originally recorded in 2022.
I've just finished reading The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga so thought this Bullet Points could be a book review of sorts. I've summarised what I think they key takeaways are and how I think it can be helpful and if you'd like to me to do something similar/the same for another book, let me know by emailing me at office@emmaguns.com
I had a huge response on Instagram when I shared the best information I've ever heard when it comes to why protein is such an important macro nutrient. For that reason, I thought I'd share it with you again in case you missed it first time around.Right now, you can't move for protein printed across most food packaging. Even chocolate bars have got in on the action, producing ‘high protein' varieties of their sweet snacks to try to sell them as a key component of a healthy, balanced diet. How can this be junk food when it contains protein?What's the truth? In 2021 I interviewed Dr Gabrielle Lyon, a double-board certified family physician trained in geriatric nutritional sciences who focuses on skeletal muscle to support longevity. It was her work with geriatric patients that highlighted the importance of maintaining lean muscle in order to live well into older age and to avoid a plethora of health issues.The fact this conversations pre-dates the obsession with protein adds, I think, real value to Gabrielle's expertise because it was long before every ‘health expert' was talking about protein on podcasts. This conversation actually fundamentally changed how I eat and, since we spoke, I've been focusing on a high protein diet for all the reasons she describes during this conversation - not least to get lean while building muscle.

It's all been a bit much lately, to be honest. Turns out, a 'sorry we missed you' notification on a day when I had WAITED IN ALL MORNING was the straw that broke the camel's back.The real lesson here is that I need to refresh my coping mechanisms because something as trivial as missing a delivery, albeit for a replacement internet router because my one inexplicably gave up a few days ago, shouldn't be the thing that makes me cry.
We're back with the a Bullet Points episode because I've just watched the news and some reactions to the Sean Combs case have left me, well, confused. Are we so blinded by celebrity that abandon common sense?Listen to the two episodes on this case from Redhanded here: Diddy Part 1 and Diddy Part 2.
I spoke about this over my Substack this week but, my word, the new series of And Just Like That has made me feel really scared about getting older. What happened to the dynamic, powerful women from Sex and the City - I want them back!Also, my latest weight loss update is one I wasn't expecting. The pump from the gym feels great but after weeks of feeling leaner, it's surprising to feel swollen all of a sudden.Oh, and some incredible beauty finds:Self Glow by James ReadYepoda Porefect PadsLisa Eldridge Desert Gleam Ziip Halo.*contains affiliate links.
I've been on my travels, have had some bizarre but quite insightful messages and have been humbled by the weights room in the gym this week...
This episode is brought to you by a migraine. If it feels all over the place, it's because I'm all over the place today thanks to a humdinger of a migraine that's left me feeling like a slightly lopsided, cloth-tongued, weepy-eyed wimp.With that said, there are things to discuss. Such as the reaction to my weight loss, why I want to defend Jeremy Clarkson and why being slightly 'perfect' online gets more engagement. From the woman who this afternoon posted a 'fashion' reel on Instagram with smudged eye makeup and her glasses on because of aforementioned migraine.Anyway, let me know your thoughts on all of this, whether it's on email office@emmaguns.com, on Instagram @emmaguns or over on my Substack.

Let's park goal-setting until next week, but while it's fresh in the news, I wanted to talk about the current story surrounding Blake Lively's lawsuit against her It Ends with Us director Justin Baldoni. Not about the case specifically but what it throws up about how women are treated in the media and how quick people are to believe the worst of them. And how even I fell foul of this alleged smear campaign.I'm wearing the WAT the Brand Hoody and JoggersCubitts Glasses in the style MerlinHourglass Veil Hydrating Skin TintVictoria Beckham Beauty Reflect Highlighter in AmberSweed Cloud Mascara in BrownSubscribe to my SubstackFollow me on InstagramEmail me at office@emmaguns.com•contains affiliates Hosted on Acast.

I am the first to poo-poo manifestation and all the plinky-plonky performative nonsense that sells itself as 'self help' but I've come to realise that goal-setting, particularly after a challenging 2024 might be a very smart move on my part.

In this week's Bullet Points, I discuss the Gregg Wallace scandal, a huge topic in the UK this week. I share my thoughts having worked with Gregg previously. As London is 'crowned' the Phone Theft Capital of Europe, I share how a trip to London changed my perspective and how it has influenced my behaviour in the city. Finally, I share a useful hack that might help you focus more. Johann Hari and I discussed attention span on the show a while ago and you can listen to that here: Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/Email me at: office@emmaguns.comListen to the #EmmaGunsShow for free on:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6goNFPSxewG2CiP4nBcNNY?si=1448e83ed0c84479Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-guns-show/id1102982843?i=1000599251800or search 'Emma Guns' wherever you listen to your podcasts.#greggwallace #masterchefscandal #masterchef #london #phonetheft #phonethieves #crimewave #attentionspan #johannhari #readinghack Hosted on Acast.

The power of the re-frame is something to explore in this episode of the podcast. I've set the bar quite high for myself in the past, especially professionally, and this year has been about relaxing that tight grip on 'success'. However, it has been a puzzler simply because a lot of the positive steps I've taken to relieve some of that pressure are the things I'd do when I was struggling with depression. In one instance, it allowed me to withdraw from the world, in another it's allowed me to show up as a better version of myself. So what's the difference?Also in this episode, I ponder whether being too self-aware is a fast-track to anxiety and I lose the pot over the current 'it' body cream.Email me at office@emmaguns.comSubscribe and comment on my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/Listen to the #EmmaGunsShow for free on:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6goNFPSxewG2CiP4nBcNNY?si=1448e83ed0c84479Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-guns-show/id1102982843?i=1000599251800or search 'Emma Guns' wherever you listen to your podcasts.

On this episode, let's talk about how the super short days are making it harder to regulate mood (read: be in a good one!), how the Wicked film press tour is quite the sight to behold and how Black Friday has gone from being a day to a month-long extravaganza.
