In an exciting development, radio presenter Gemma Atkinson has announced the launch of her new health and wellness podcast, titled Just As Well. The first episode will address important topics surrounding weight-loss drugs.
Partnership with Women’s Health Magazine
Atkinson, age 40, has teamed up with Women’s Health magazine for this venture. The podcast will feature co-host Claire Sanderson, Editor-in-Chief of Women’s Health UK. Together, they aim to provide listeners with a mix of scientific health advice and candid conversations with notable guests.
Guest Appearances and Topics
The podcast is set to include a range of expert guests, such as:
- Medical doctor Tim Spector

The premiere episode features nutritionist and cookbook author Emily English. Listeners can access the episode on all major podcast platforms.
Gemma’s Motivation and Vision
Expressing her enthusiasm for the new project, Gemma stated, “I’m thrilled to be part of this podcast and to have the opportunity to sit with and interview so many inspiring people.” She added, “Health and wellness is extremely important to me, particularly now that I am in my 40s and a mother.” Gemma emphasized her commitment to gathering valuable information for her audience through expert interviews.
Content Focus: Health Discussions
Each episode of Just As Well promises to be filled with actionable advice and inspiration for listeners. According to Claire Sanderson, the podcast will serve as a platform for women to access relevant knowledge to enhance their daily lives.
The first episode delves into the complex conversation surrounding weight-loss medications and the significance of building muscle mass. Emily English candidly discusses her experiences with eating disorders and the contrasting effects of drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro.
Insights on Weight-Loss Drugs
Emily noted the dual perspectives on these weight-loss medications, remarking, “I know people who it’s been life-changing for, but I also know others who found it challenging to adjust their lifestyles.” She emphasized the need for individuals to address the underlying issues that may prompt the use of such medications, suggesting that simply using them without addressing fundamental health concerns can be ineffective.
Conclusion: A New Chapter for Gemma
This podcast launch comes on the heels of the cancellation of Gemma’s reality show, Gemma and Gorka: Life Behind the Lens, after just two seasons. As both she and her husband, dancer Gorka Márquez, focus on their individual projects, viewers can look forward to this new initiative bringing important health discussions to the forefront.
