Lucy Procter is one of the world’s leading HYROX athletes. At just 23, she has already competed at the highest level — but behind her remarkable rise is a story of late diagnosis, masking, burnout and learning to understand her body. In this honest conversation, Lucy opens up about being diagnosed with ADHD and autism as an adult, struggling to make and maintain friendships at school, and mistaking anxiety, overwhelm and “freeze days” for laziness or a lack of discipline. She also shares the impact of PMDD on her mental health, body image, heart rate, training and performance, alongside the difficult journey of losing — and ultimately regaining — her menstrual cycle. Lucy explains how she changed her fuelling, recovery and approach to training, and why rest is now an essential part of her career. As a Red Bull athlete, Lucy is competing on the world stage while learning how to work with her neurodivergence rather than against it. This is a candid conversation about ADHD, autism, PMDD, elite sport, body image, self-compassion and building a healthier, more sustainable future.

Noticing more hair in your brush, a thinner ponytail or widening around your parting? Hair loss can be frightening – but understanding what’s causing it is the first step towards tackling it.  In this episode of Just As Well Claire Sanderson and Gemma Atkinson are joined by leading trichologist Annabel Kingsley to explain why women experience hair loss during postpartum, perimenopause and menopause – and how stress, rapid weight loss, GLP-1 medication and low iron levels can also trigger shedding.  Annabel reveals how to tell normal shedding from a potential problem, when hair loss may be reversible and when to seek expert help. She also shares the changes that can support healthier hair growth, from getting enough protein and carbohydrates to looking after your scalp properly.  Plus, she separates fact from fiction on collagen, biotin, red-light therapy, minoxidil and expensive hair products – and explains why taking supplements without a blood test could make matters worse.  If you’re worried about hair loss, this practical and reassuring episode will help you understand what’s happening – and what to do next.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Can a diagnosis sometimes do more harm than good? Claire Sanderson and Gemma Atkinson are joined by consultant neurologist and bestselling author Suzanne O’Sullivan to explore why more people are receiving medical labels—and whether those labels always lead to better health. Suzanne explains the important difference between misdiagnosis and overdiagnosis, and why finding an abnormality doesn’t necessarily mean it will ever make you ill. The conversation covers the rise in ADHD and autism diagnoses, the risks of medicating children too readily, health anxiety, wearables, full-body scans and the impact of constantly monitoring our bodies. They also ask whether ordinary sadness and anxiety are becoming overmedicalised, and how we can raise awareness of menopause without making women fear it. Suzanne’s views have attracted criticism, but her argument isn’t that people should ignore symptoms or avoid medical care. Instead, she wants us to ask: what will this diagnosis give me, what harm could it cause and will it meaningfully improve my life? Suzanne O’Sullivan’s latest book is The Age of Diagnosis.
