Have you ever wondered what wellness really means?

Or been tempted by one of those weird TikTok health trends — and thought, should I actually try that?

And what about happiness? What is it really… and how do we find it?

Well, I’m Simon JJ Green, and on This Upbeat Life, I’m on a mission to find out.

Every 2 weeks, I take a slightly cheeky look at the world of health and wellness — from the latest trends, and so-called “miracle cures” to what’s really in the news.

But more importantly, I’ll be chatting with ordinary, everyday people to discover what truly makes them happy. Because sometimes, the best advice doesn’t come from a guru — it comes from the person standing next to you in the checkout queue.

So, join me for honest conversations, surprising insights, and the occasional laugh, as we explore what it really means to live… an upbeat life.

Because, honestly — happiness might just be the best medicine!
