Talking Bollox Podcast
Science Week 2026 is nearly here (Nov 8th–15th) and this year’s theme is Water: from molecule to ocean — so we flipped the lens inwards to what’s going on inside your own body.

There’s chat about MMA weight cutting (hot baths, saunas, Epsom salts), electrolytes hype, carb cuts and “water weight”, ice baths vs hot soaks, sea swimming shock, cramp myths, and using sweat as a future performance bio-sensor.
A massive shoutout again to our sponsor, Science Week 2026, running nationwide...
