Intermittent fasting has been making waves, especially on social media, where it's often hailed as a miracle fix for weight loss. While it's no silver bullet, fasting can be an effective tool when part of a well-rounded lifestyle tailored to individual needs. Intermittent fasting is a pattern of eating that alternates between periods of fasting, usually 12 to 16 hours, and eating. Staying hydrated is key. The British Dietetic Association notes that this break can help regulate insulin levels and reduce fat storage. Unlike typical diets, it focuses on when you eat, not what, which may make it easier to stick to. Isn’t this how the human body evolved to function? Is intermittent fasting safe for everyone?

Society’s beauty standards constantly evolve, and sometimes in surprising ways. The terms "rodent man" and "hot rodent man" have gone viral on TikTok, racking up millions of views. And the roots of those terms are pretty literal - they refer to men whose facial features are reminiscent of rodents like mice, rats or hamsters. I know, it might not seem like the most flattering of comparisons to start with, but it seems like rodent men are genuinely becoming the latest kind of sex symbol. What does a "rodent man" look like then? Where did the term come from? Isn't calling someone a “hot rodent man” somewhat reductive? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

It may come as a surprise, but for some, summer isn’t always a time for rest and recharging. Quite the opposite, in fact. This phenomenon, known as “mid-year crisis” or “summer burnout,” is a type of seasonal depression that occurs during the summer months. According to The Guardian newspaper, symptoms include drowsiness, lack of appetite, decreased libido and energy, and a general feeling of being overworked and tired. These feelings can occur during or after vacations, even after a period of rest. It's as if the positive effects expected from a holiday were totally ephemeral. Worse, some people feel more sensitive and irritable than before their break. What are the symptoms? How do you explain this seasonal crisis? But isn’t summer supposed to be special? `In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What are the biggest misconceptions on beating heatwaves?

Much like your fingerprints, your body odour is totally unique to you. It varies from person to person based on the chemical makeup of their sweat, which, believe it or not, is actually odourless on its own. Sweat only starts to smell when it comes into contact with bacteria on our skin. Our distinct scent depends not just on this skin microbiome but also on factors like sex, age, genetics, and hormone levels. Our body odour can change at different times in our lives; for instance, during pregnancy due to hormonal shifts. What kind of foods could be impacting my body odour? What else can I do besides adapting my diet? What if I try all that and I still have BO? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

"Irrational”, “overdramatic”, “hysterical”, “sensitive” - if you’re a woman you have most likely been described using one of these words or similar in the past. That’s because there’s a common belief that women are more emotional than men, which still persists to this day. It can sometimes be framed in a positive way, saying that women show more empathy. But all too often it’s used as a weapon to dismiss what a woman is saying. Is there any scientific basis to such assumptions? What were the results then? How so?

Still to this day, this psychological condition is most often referred to by its previous name: multiple personality disorder. That’s in particular down to exaggerated representations in popular culture like books, TV or cinema. Some prominent examples are the story of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho or, more recently, Split. Experts have criticised the use of DID as a plot device in such representations, saying they often confuse it with other disorders like psychosis or schizophrenia. They also perpetuate certain myths about people with mental illnesses. These include the idea that they are usually dangerous or have flamboyant personalities. So what is DID really like then?

Electric toothbrushes come with a head that makes small circular movements automatically. Studies have shown that, for the same amount of brushing time, they can remove up to twice as much plaque as manual toothbrushes. They also help reduce the risk of gingivitis, gum inflammation, and bleeding. However, some electric toothbrushes can be too abrasive on sensitive or weakened teeth, as not all use the same technology. It also depends on how you use them. Improper brushing can lead to dental hypersensitivity and even tooth loosening. So what is the right brushing technique? How do you choose the right manual toothbrush?

What is environmental racism? We’ve covered a lot of environmental issues on Do You Really Know? so regular listeners will be well aware of how the climate crisis is affecting the whole planet. But it’s important to also note how these problems don’t affect everyone equally. People in developing countries, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere, are already feeling the impact on their income, physical health and surrounding environment. That’s despite industrialised countries having contributed far more to global warming overall. What kind of environmental problems are we talking about exactly? Do you have any concrete examples?

Since 2020, TikTok has allowed its creators to make money by posting on the platform. To do so, they need at least 10,000 followers and to rack up 100,000 views on their videos over a 30-day period. But with earnings of around 30 cents per 1,000 views, it’s not exactly a get-rich-quick scheme. So to increase the visibility of their videos — and thereby earn more money — some creators have turned to a controversial tactic known as "rage baiting." What is rage baiting? How does that work?

I don’t know about you, but I find that there’s something about the seaside air which just always makes me relax and puts me in a better mood. As it turns out, that might be more than just my impression. A study conducted by the University of Vienna and published in May 2022 established that living near the sea can have significant effects on health and life expectancy. Now the idea is not exactly brand new. Way back in the 17th century, English doctor Robert Wittie published a book entitled Scarborough Spa, in which he recommended people take sea baths and walk along the coast to treat certain illnesses.

Over the years, many surveys have looked into what time of day people say they most enjoy having sex, but the findings have varied drastically. For instance, one run by CBD brand Naturecan in 2023 found that the most satisfying time was 7:30 a.m., with two-thirds of the Brits surveyed preferring morning sex to night-time sex. But more recently, lingerie brand Pour Moi pinpointed 10:09pm on Saturday as the “sexiest time of the week”, after surveying 2,000 sexually active adults from the UK, Ireland, Canada and the USA.

Everyone has lied at least once in their life. But did you know that we lie at least once a day? This surprising conclusion comes from an American study published in 1996. The reasons behind our lies are quite intriguing. Often, we lie to protect the people we care about, this is known as a “white lie.” But that’s not the whole story. According to neuropsychologist and researcher Sylvie Chokron, lying is an incredibly complex cognitive process. When we lie, we activate multiple brain regions, including those responsible for language, creativity, memory, and self-control. Have we to be pretty clever to be a good liar? And which parts of the brain are affected when we lie? But why do we lie? To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: Why do some people believe in ghosts?

Plant milks have been all the rage for a number of years now, and they’re gradually taking up more and more space on supermarket shelves, to the detriment of animal milks. In 2020, British shoppers spent £100m more on plant milks compared to the previous year, according to research from Mintel. That was a rise of over 30%, demonstrating their growing popularity. They are considered a viable alternative for people who are allergic or intolerant to lactose. They often have a sweet taste, making them a popular breakfast option.
