Imagine being drunk, without having drunk a single drop of alcohol, it seems completely implausible, and yet for some is a reality. South-West media shared the story of a motorist who appeared in court in Bruges in 2022 after being found to have too much alcohol in his blood twice in the same year. The man, in his forties, was eventually acquitted, proving that the tests were not the result of a night of drinking, but rather of auto-brewery syndrome.  Self-brewing syndrome, also known as intestinal fermentation syndrome, is when your body turns into a mini-brewery. Professor Alvarez, co-author of an analysis published on the subject in December 2020. says it's when carbs ferment into ethanol right inside your gut, thanks to yeast. Normally, our gut yeast can't brew enough booze to affect us. But for those with auto-brewery syndrome, it's a different story. They've got an overabundance of yeast, and when too much sugar is consumed, it ferments into alcohol, leading to drunkenness. What is it? And what are the consequences? Can it be treated?

Olive oil, a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet, boasts a rich composition of essential fatty acids, vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with polyphenols. These antioxidants are celebrated for their role in decelerating cellular ageing. Fatty acids, a pivotal component of lipids, include some that our bodies cannot produce, underscoring the necessity of sourcing them from our diets. Predominantly composed of omega-9, olive oil's monounsaturated fatty acids are linked to a diminished risk of cardiovascular ailments. They are also known to lower LDL-cholesterol—the infamous ‘bad' cholesterol—as well as the overall cholesterol levels in our bloodstream. Additionally, olive oil serves as a natural appetite suppressant, fostering a sense of fullness and aiding in the regulation of blood sugar levels. Does all this mean that olive oil is calorie-free? How do I choose the right oil? And how do you store olive oil properly? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Nearly one in three adults in the UK experiences symptoms of insomnia. On average, adults in the UK get about 7.6 hours of sleep per night. In recent years, the popularity of gadgets designed to track and improve sleep has surged. However, this growing focus on achieving perfect sleep has given rise to a new issue: orthosomnia. Smartwatches, fitness trackers, and more advanced gadgets like connected sleep masks or mattress sensors track sleep patterns and stages, such as REM and deep sleep. According to The Guardian in October 2024, the sleep monitor industry was valued at 270 million pounds annually, reflecting the growing fascination with these detailed sleep metrics. What is orthosomnia? Why do we think we need 8 hours of sleep? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

According to a Direct Line Group study from 2022, over 70% of UK adults don't get the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Nighttime micro-awakenings are a common contributing problem. For many of us, they happen four to six times per night without us even noticing. And they usually just mark the end of a sleep cycle. But they're more common in some people, and can be down to various factors like anxiety, mental hyperactivity, asthma, acid reflux, or arthritis. The effects of caffeine, tea, alcohol, and tobacco should also be considered. And it's important to know that as you age, your production of sleep hormone melatonin decreases. How are our sleep cycles structured? What should I do if these micro-awakenings become too frequent? What if those techniques don't work for me? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

We talk about sleep needs a lot on Do You Really Know, so regular listeners will be well aware that we need 7-9 hours each day, and that not getting enough can lead to negative health impacts. Regardless of who you are, when you get less than seven hours of sleep, you start accumulating what's known as sleep debt or sleep deficit. The Sleep Foundation defines it as: “the difference between the amount of sleep someone needs and the amount they actually get.” What can I do in the short term if I notice such symptoms? Can't I just lie in on the weekend? So how can we make up for lost sleep without disrupting our biological clock? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

You've no doubt heard that certain foods can increase desire, or even improve sexual performance. Oysters, ginger, chocolate and strawberries are just a few examples of foods that supposedly have that magical effect. They're labelled aphrodisiacs, a word which comes from the name of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love. There are very few scientific studies out there to back that belief up. In people who have blood circulation issues, some foods can have the same effect as Viagra, which relaxes the blood vessels and thereby improves blood flow to the genitals. Can food really have an impact on our level of sexual desire? What about alcohol? So why do people keep talking about aphrodisiacs if they don't really work?

The condition we're going to talk about today is pretty rare. It affects around 1% of women, but it can really disrupt the lives of those who suffer from it. Persistent genital arousal disorder, or PGAD for short, was officially identified by the medical community back in 2001, when Sandra Leiblum and Sharon Nathan published an article about it in The Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy. At the time, they called it persistent genital arousal syndrome, and identified five specific criteria for diagnosis.  These were then expanded by the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health in 2021. According to that organisation, PGAD refers to “persistent or recurrent, unwanted or intrusive, distressing sensations of genital arousal”. It is “most commonly experienced in the clitoris but also in other genito-pelvic regions” and “may include other types of genito-pelvic dysesthesia” like buzzing, tingling, burning, twitching, itch or pain.” The minimum duration for a diagnosis is 3 months.

You may know Hugh Jackman as the star of X-Men, The Greatest Showman, and Les Misérables, but did you know that he has a secret to success that involves working less, not more? That's right, Hugh Jackman follows the 85% rule, an unofficial guide to life that says we should try hard at things, but not too hard. In other words, we should aim to work at 85% of our capacity, rather than 100%. But why would he do that, and does it really work? Does the science back up this claim?

It may be a little taboo to talk about it, but there are a lot of people out there who, for a variety of reasons, don't have as much sex as they would like, or arguably need. And there's actually a form of therapy out there which is specifically designed to help people become more comfortable with sex and intimacy. The idea of sex surrogacy started catching on in Europe in the 2000s, and these days it's actually regulated and even covered by social security in some countries, like Switzerland, Denmark and the Netherlands. Still, in many places it's a legal grey area, and raises a number of ethical questions to boot. For example it became a subject of debate in France in 2013, when a proposal was put forward to cover sex surrogacy expenses for disabled people. Why would someone need to use the services of a sex surrogate? What's the difference between a sex surrogate and a sex worker? ⁠⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !⁠⁠ To listen to the latest episodes, click here: ⁠⁠Will Star Wars: Andor live up to the hype?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Why were the queen's bees told of her death?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Do I have poor blood circulation?⁠⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

A lazy girl job is an easy, enjoyable and well-paid job that doesn't require much passion or effort, and leaves you with plenty of time to live your life outside of work. It might sound too good to be true but some TikTokers have been posting videos of themselves bragging about their lazy girl jobs, such as working from home, answering emails, or doing administrative tasks and the hashtag #lazygirljob has amassed over 16 million views on the platform. Why are people choosing a ‘lazy girl' job? What are the problems with this type of work? What are the dangers of posting about this online? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

According to UK government data, a total of 6.5 billion passenger journeys were completed using public transport vehicles like buses, trains and tram systems, in the year to March 2023.  Packed platforms, overcrowded carriages and uncertain schedules are just some of the issues public transport commuters have to deal with on a regular basis, not to mention the occasional strike. Being crammed into a tube, bus or train with other commuters can make you feel oppressed, fatigued or even suffocated. Some people experience dizziness and anxiety, and fainting isn't uncommon.

Social media has been part of our daily digital lives for nearly two decades now, and while there are plenty of positives associated with it, there's also an undeniably dark side. Recent years have brought to light the sometimes traumatic work experience of social media moderators who have to review content that's flagged as potentially harmful or offensive. Back in 2018, German directors Hans Block and Moritz Riesewick released a documentary called The Cleaners, which looked into just that and would go on to win several awards.  Where did the concept come from?

The last week or so has seen temperatures reach around 20° in the south of England, and you can expect to see similar temperatures for the next month or so as we head into summer. Whenever the weather warms up, there's always a temptation to try to mask any odours or stains that are coming from our sweaty bodies, but it's worth bearing in mind that sweating is actually a crucial bodily function. Did you know that sweat is a watery solution that contains mostly water, but also some minerals and proteins. Just what is the purpose of sweat then?

Whether it's out of necessity or for enjoyment, lubricant helps a lot of people in their sex lives. According to The Cleveland Clinic: “Around 17% of people assigned female at birth (AFAB) age 18 to 50 report problems with vaginal dryness during sex, even before menopause takes place.” And that figure increases to 50% after menopause. There are a number of factors that can contribute to insufficient lubrication. These include certain hormonal contraceptives, medications, conditions like diabetes, or pregnancy and breastfeeding.  What's the actual purpose of lubricant?

Perfume is a luxury product worn by people all around the world, but fragrances are not without health risks. Perfumes use a mix of chemicals, some are natural, such as essential oils from plants, but many of them are synthetic, meaning they are created in a laboratory. The problem is that the perfume industry is not very transparent about what goes into their products. They can hide hundreds of ingredients under the vague term "fragrance", without disclosing them to the consumers or the regulators. This means that we don't really know what we're spraying on our skin, clothes, and hair and some can be irritating and cause allergies. Even high quality famous brands can contribute to allergies which affect between 5 and 25 million people in Europe. Which brands? How is this possible? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

According to Whatsapp, over 7 billion voice notes are sent on the app every day. A lot of the time, they offer a more personal touch and clearer explanations than text messages. But not everyone is a fan.  Tech journalist Victoria Turk published an article on the Huffington Post in 2019 under the headline “Can We All Agree That WhatsApp Voice Notes Are Terrible?”, while in 2023 Women's Health Mag ran a feature on voice note fatigue, marking the messaging feature's 10th anniversary.

Using an ATM, paying for petrol or shopping at a retail store are pretty routine things that many of us do on a frequent basis. But it's important to be aware of the often invisible threat posed by a criminal practice called skimming, which sees fraudsters clone bank cards.  Across the pond in the US, data analytics firm Fico reported a 96% increase in debit card skimming in 2023, and recent months have also seen prominent cases in the UK. Let's take a moment to understand what skimming is a little better, and go over the best ways in which you can protect yourself. Is it really possible to clone a bank card?

No doubt at some point in your life you've skipped a meal, whether it was to save money, lose weight or just because you were too damn busy with work. Maybe you even do it on a regular basis, without really knowing whether it's good or bad for you. Skipping meals makes us more likely to snack afterwards, eating food items which are often high in fat and sugar. Another risk is that you compensate by overeating at your next mealtime. By taking on more calories than you need, you'll accentuate feelings of hunger.  Can I at least skip breakfast? What about when I'm not feeling hungry at all?

Many of us have a ritual of falling asleep to our favorite tunes or a comforting podcast. It's no surprise we find solace in this routine; after all, music is known to dial down blood pressure and heart rate, ease anxiety, and reduce cortisol levels. The benefits don't stop there – music can also boost oxytocin production and sweep away those pesky negative thoughts, setting the stage for a peaceful night's rest. For those battling chronic pain, melodies can be a balm, offering a more tranquil slumber thanks to music's proven pain-dulling powers. In fact, the innovative Music Care app, developed by Dr. Stéphane Guétin, even lets healthcare providers prescribe tunes as a form of pain management. What's the best soundtrack for slumber?

Like a lot of things, the concept of white privilege comes from the USA. It means that simply being white gives a person additional benefits or rights compared to those of other skin colours.

It's not uncommon to hear ringing, buzzing, humming or hissing sounds that can't be heard by anyone else. The medical term for these symptoms is tinnitus. The sounds may affect both ears, or just one. If you're lucky, they're a temporary or intermittent problem, but for some people they can be more severe, affecting their daily lives.  2019 figures from the British Tinnitus Association suggested that persistent tinnitus affects 1 in 8 people. Occasional ringing in the ears is nothing to worry about. It's when it lasts for longer than a few minutes that you may wish to consult a GP. Bear in mind that tinnitus itself isn't actually a disease. The sounds are symptoms of other disorders and health conditions. Where does it come from? Does it get worse with age?

You're most likely familiar with the concept of Dry January, which started out in the UK in 2013 and has since become hugely popular. It involves not consuming a single drop of alcohol for the whole month of January. In 2022, record participation numbers were recorded, with over 130,000 people signing up with Alcohol Change to take part. On average, British people drink 9.8 litres of pure alcohol per year, according to figures released by the OECD in 2021. Right from the first few hours of cutting out alcohol, the body starts its detox process. You may get noticeable withdrawal symptoms, depending on how dependent your body is on alcohol. If you're a moderate drinker, you may have a little trouble getting to sleep. If you drink more often, you might get headaches or break into a sweat. It's often said that the first three days are the hardest. Is there really an impact in such a short space of time? What about from week two onwards? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Within an ecosystem there are many different species, and it can be difficult for conservationists to come up with specific strategies to protect every single one of them. That's why some have started focusing on umbrella species, because of the benefits that protecting them has for other co-occurring species. It's as if they're putting an umbrella over the entire surrounding ecosystem. They help conservationists select locations for reserves, establish the minimum size, and to generally better understand ecosystems i.e. their composition, structure and processes. What are some examples of umbrella species? Funny, a lot of those are also the most popular species in humans' eyes, aren't they?

As we embrace resolutions and light up the skies with fireworks, it's time to mark the arrival of the New Year! All of us on the Do You Really Know team, hoping you soaked in the holiday vibes and send you our warm wishes for a splendid 2024. Today, planet Earth has set off on another full orbit around the sun, a journey which will span 365 days until we hit the reset button again next year. And that's why we now refer to January 1st as New Year's Day. But bear in mind, that wasn't always the case. We can trace back our calendar roots to the Romans and their initial 355-day calendar. That's right: 355, and not the 365 we're used to these days. That lunar-based system was credited to Numa Pompilius, the legendary second King of Rome, who succeeded Romulus. And it saw the New Year kick off in March, a nod to Mars, the Roman god of war.  When did January 1st appear then? What about elsewhere in the world? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

As date night options go, the cinema is a timeless classic which can be both fun and romantic. Even in the age of “Netflix and chill”, there's an appeal to the immersive experience you can only get watching a film on the big screen. So if you're wondering what to do this Valentine's Day, why not book a cinema visit? You may not be having a conversation, but you can interpret body language. If it's a first date, and they're on their phone all the time, that might be off putting. If your date is comfortable enough to hold your hand or let you put your arm around their shoulder without it being awkward, that's a good sign. Of course, don't be pushy or intrusive. Make sure you ask your date for consent before trying any kind of physical intimacy. How can you have a good date when you're not even talking to one another during the film? Any tips for a great cinema date? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

If you wake up feeling rough after a night of heavy drinking, it's likely your liver couldn't handle all that alcohol, and your body couldn't flush it out completely. That's when you get stuck with classic hangover symptoms, like nausea, a pounding headache and perhaps even a bout of diarrhoea. Apart from chugging water to rehydrate, figuring out what to eat to get back on your feet can be a bit tricky. When you're in this situation, there's often a hankering for fast food. A 2016 study from the University of Chicago's Department of Medicine suggested this craving is linked to sleep deprivation, which causes the brain to release endocannabinoids, compensating for the energy drop. That leads to a yearning for comfort food, often on the greasier or sweeter side. Interestingly, the sweeter the alcohol you consume, the more likely it is that your appetite will be revved up the next day. Why does that happen? So what should else we eat then?

What is Stendhal syndrome? Stendhal's syndrome is a rare and unusual psychological disorder. It's a psychosomatic condition whereby certain people suffer from a rapid heartbeat, fainting or even hallucinations, when exposed to objects or works of art of great beauty. The condition takes its name from a famous French writer who experienced a similar state of intense emotion upon visiting Rome, Naples and Florence. Stendhal wrote about his visit to Florence's Santa Croce Basilica in a book entitled Naples and Florence: A journey from Milan to Reggio. If I see something amazingly beautiful, I could just faint at any moment?

According to The Cleveland Clinic, around one in four people are affected by bad breath. It's also known as halitosis and bad breath can be a source of embarrassment. It's sometimes caused by consuming certain well-known foods, like garlic, onion, cheese, and coffee for example.  But it can also be a symptom of an underlying health condition, such as pneumonia, gum recession, kidney disease and gastrointestinal disorders.

Some psychological and addiction experts say that making and sticking to resolutions can do wonders for your health. And just because it's not the New Year right now, that doesn't mean you can't start a resolution right away. After all, there's no time like the present, right? Let's face it though, sticking to a resolution can be tough, especially when it comes to giving up something you're used to doing, eating or drinking on a regular basis. Like alcohol for example. If you're looking to cut back on alcohol but can't see yourself managing to go without, we've got an approach from Tiktok to tell you about today, which may just help you in your quest: it's called the one-week method. How does it work? What are the benefits? Should I be looking to give up alcohol completely after a while? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Did you know that each of us has a truly unique body odour, which is influenced by a mix of genetic, hormonal, age-related, environmental, and lifestyle factor? And your diet plays a role in shaping your natural scent. Some foods have their own noticeably strong odours, like garlic or onions for example, and can in turn cause us to sweat more. The same goes for spices and chili, which makes sense given how hot they are. If you eat a lot of turmeric, you may notice a tangy aroma emanating straight from your skin pores, caused by an uptick in sweat acidity and the presence of a molecule called carvone. Is there anything else that could explain a change in odour? Are there any foods that can improve body odour? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

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?  In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

If there are any teenagers out there listening in, chances are you have faced an acne breakout at some point in the recent past, or perhaps you're even going through that now. Rest assured, that was the case for many of us adults too when we were your age, and for some people, acne continues to be a nuisance into adulthood. It's tied to a number of factors including hormonal shifts, genetics, lifestyle, and diet. These blemishes basically result from an excess of sebum. Regular listeners will remember that sebum contributes to the skin's hydrolipidic film, protecting it from various threats and maintaining hydration. Is squeezing pimples a good idea?

In the Western world, we celebrate Christmas on December 25th to honour the birth of Jesus, a tradition dating back to around the year 300 AD. But well before that, various cultures had been marking the end of the year as a symbol of life's renewal. Over time, Christmas has transcended its origins and found unique expressions in different corners of the globe, from Brazil and Ethiopia to Japan and Egypt. Let's take Nordic countries, for instance. Their holiday traditions, especially the culinary ones, can get quite bizarre. In Greenland, Christmas delicacies include Mattak – raw whale skin served with whale blubber. Are there other traditions? What about the kids? Are there any less creepy traditions?

Getting restorative sleep and putting an end to back pain are both good reasons to opt for quality bedding. And if another reason was needed: on average, we spend 7-9 hours in bed every night and around a third of our lives sleeping in total. The problem is it can sometimes be like diving into a sea of options when it comes to mattresses. The most common type is the foam mattress, which adapts to all body shapes. What are the other types of mattresses? Should I go for soft or firm? What if I have back problems? How often should I be changing my mattress? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

According to The Sun, scientists say that “the average person in the UK now consumes more than eight kilograms of chemical additives every year.” Of course with that being an average figure, it can shoot up even further for those who eat a lot of ultra-processed foods.  If you've ever looked closely at ingredients lists on the packaging of food you buy in your supermarket, you'll have noticed the E numbers by which additives can be recognised. Each category has its assigned E numbers. For example, colours are in the 100s, preservatives in the 200s and antioxidants in the 300s. Aren't additives banned? What are they actually used for? Why do additives have such a bad rap then?

If you believe the marketing slogans printed on their packaging, light or reduced-calorie food products offer you the same enjoyment but with fewer calories. It seems like a no-brainer, right?! In order for a product to be labelled as “light” (with either “-ght” or “-te” at the end), current rules in the UK state that it must be “at least 30% lower in one typical value (calories or fat) than that manufacturer's standard version of the product in the same range”.

A lot of people are reluctant to go out in the cold during the winter season. It's a real shame, as there are many ways in which you can protect yourself from low or even sub-zero temperatures. You've probably been told it a million times since you were a kid, but it bears repeating: you need to wrap up warm! The clothes you wear outdoors trap warm air inside. A good starting point is wearing a cotton T-shirt to absorb sweat and thereby neutralise humidity, which can exacerbate feelings of cold.Then wear a sweater or warm jacket made of high-quality material like wool, cashmere or alpaca. Finally, a decent coat or windcheater on top, as well as a scarf, gloves and most importantly a woolly hat or beanie, as 30% of warmth leaves the body via the head.

Whether it's as kids in the school playground, fooling around with our first partner as a teenager or with our own kids when we become parents, tickling is generally synonymous with moments of playful fun. Of course tickling can bring on strong reactions and some people hate it, so it's important to only do it to someone if they're not objecting, no matter how harmless it might seem to you. Some people are just way more sensitive to it than others, and might start laughing or cringing at the slightest touch, or even in anticipation of being tickled. Why are some parts of our bodies more sensitive to tickling than others? Why can't I tickle myself? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In the days of yore, clothes were scrubbed with soap, brushes, and sheer elbow grease. But today, laundry detergents have revolutionized the way we clean our garments. These modern marvels remove stains without requiring Herculean effort. But navigating the overwhelming array of choices in the detergent aisle can be overwhelming.  The French consumer magazine 60 millions de consommateurs carried out an extensive study in February 2020 to answer just this question. They scrutinized 25 different washing powder brands. Their evaluation criteria included chemical risk, environmental impact, health considerations, washing efficiency, and color preservation.

Sniffling, sneezing, itchy eyes, asthma flare-ups, and even sleep disruptions. If you're wondering why you're dealing with all the telltale signs of hay fever smack in the middle of December, you might just be grappling with what's commonly known as the Christmas tree syndrome. In a nutshell, it's a seasonal allergy triggered by the presence of mould in the needles and trunk of the tree.

Antibiotics are critical to modern medicine, and have saved millions of lives since first being introduced in the mid-20th century. However, there are drawbacks to prescribing antibiotics when they're not actually required. Of course there's the issue of antibiotic resistance, which is seen as a major threat to human health. And there are also unwanted side effects of antibiotic use to take into account. After all, they don't only target the bacteria that are making us sick. They also kill harmless bacteria in the gut which actually keep us healthy. What's more, according to MedicalXpress.com, “this disruption to gut microbiome composition can last for up to two years after antibiotic treatment.” Other side effects include diarrhea and bloating. Is there anything we can do to protect our gut? Can antibiotics also lead to yeast infections? Do I have to go right to the end of my course of antibiotics?

Panto, short for pantomime, has become a staple of British Christmas celebrations but surprisingly its origins are neither British or Christmassy. It has its roots in the ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia, which was celebrated in December and involved dressing up as the opposite gender, swapping roles, and having a lot of fun. The word ‘pantomime' comes from the Latin ‘pantomimus', which means ‘actor who plays every role'. The Romans also had a tradition of performing plays called mummia, which were based on stories from Egypt. How did panto come to Britain? What are some of the earliest examples of panto in Britain?

We all know staying hydrated is crucial for feeling fit and healthy. The general recommendation is to drink between 1.5 to 2 litres of water a day. But let's be honest, it's not always easy to stick to that. Ideally, you shouldn't wait until you're thirsty to drink water because thirst signals that your body has already lost about half a litre of water. But you might be surprised to learn that your diet can also play a big role in keeping you hydrated.  Which foods are the best for hydration? Are there hydrating options for winter?
