The New Science of Eating Well with Professor Tim Spector

Professor Tim Spector rarely eats bananas these days. He treats a glass of fruit juice as he would a can of cola. And, despite having to watch his blood pressure, he no longer restricts the salt he adds to food. Controversial views? Perhaps, if heard out of context. But, as Tim explains in this episode of my Feel Better Live More podcast, these are just a few examples of new thinking he has adopted on certain foods, since discovering his own, personal metabolic response to them.

Tim was my first-ever guest, five and a half years ago, and I’m pleased he’s returning for his fourth conversation. And if you’ve heard the previous three conversations, there is plenty of new information in this conversation. And if this is your first time listening to me talking with Tim, I think you are in for a treat.

Tim is an award-winning scientist, professor of genetics and author of four fantastic books, each of which challenge commonly accepted views about food, weight and health. He’s Head of the Department of Twin Research at King’s College London, and, as Director of the British Gut Project, a world-leader when it comes to gut microbiome studies. Tim’s latest book Food For Life: The New Science Of Eating Well is his most thorough yet

In this conversation, we talk about a health technology called CGM (which stands for continuous glucose monitors) and touch on what Tim has learned from using them. We talk through the biology of blood sugar spikes and why it’s not the odd spike here and there that’s problematic but regular ones that can lead to health issues, such as chronic inflammation and insulin resistance.

We also discuss Tim’s views on calorie counting, the role that exercise plays in health and weight loss and Tim’s view on the concept that food is medicine. We both reflect on what a transformative difference it would make if more patients were offered nutrition advice as a first line of treatment.

I think one of the things I respect the most about Tim is his willingness to change his mind and his views in public. I think it helps all of us be more open minded and less stuck in our ways. I always enjoy sitting down with Tim, this is an enlightening thought provoking, and I hope inspiring conversation. I hope you enjoy listening.

The New Addition To My Morning Routine: Master Your Mind Through Movement and Breathwork with Erwan Le Corre

Today’s guest is someone who I have wanted to talk to for many years. I first came across him around 10 years ago and was fascinated by his approach to movement and, in particular, natural movement.

Erwan Le Corre is the founder of MovNat, a school of physical competency entirely based on natural movement. Since Erwan founded it back in 2008, it has quickly spread across the globe, with certification courses, weekend retreats and instructors all over the world. One of Erwan’s core philosophies is that many of us have become ‘zoo-humans’ and as a result, we are suffering physically, mentally, and spiritually. In his ground-breaking book, The Practice of Natural Movement: Reclaim Power, Health and Freedom, Erwan outlines a simple structured process that can help us all, get back to who we are meant to be.

As humans, we are incredibly physically versatile. We can walk, run, sit, stand, jump, swim, dive, throw, catch, climb and more. But how many of these movements do we typically do in daily life? Why have we become so removed from these intrinsic, functional capabilities? And, does going to the gym or lifting a few weights at home, really compensate enough?

In our conversation, Erwan explains what he means by the term functional fitness – being fit for life, as opposed to looking fit or simply being fit for a specific sport. We talk about the benefits of moving in more natural ways and these benefits are not just related to our physical health, they help our mental wellbeing as well.

Erwan has always been devoted to mastery and currently holds the US National Record in STA (static apnea) with a 7 minute and 8 second breath hold. Over the past few years, he has been researching, experimenting with and developing his own breath-work practice, that he has named BreathHoldWork meditation.

He launched his method online just over a year ago and I signed up and completed his 4 week online course. It was one of the best courses I have ever done and it really has had a transformative effect on me. So much so, that what I learned from Erwan has now found its way into my daily morning routine. At the start of his online course, I could only hold my breath for about 1 minute. Within 4 weeks, I increased that to 4 minutes and 20 seconds! And, it was not because my body had adapted physiologically. It is because he taught me how to harness the power of my mind.

As you will learn in this conversation, Erwan’s technique is completely different from The Wim Hof Method that you may already be familiar with. In that method, you hyperventilate at the start. In Erwan’s method there is no hyperventilation, which in his opinion means you can gain deeper insights, achieve greater calm and more quickly access a state of inner peace. By learning how to quieten your mind and nervous system, when your body is begging you to breathe, you really do learn something quite profound about yourself – and it is a skill that transfers into other parts of your life. After all, if you can stay calm in this kind of environment, most things in life afterwards appear relatively easy in comparison.

This was a really enjoyable conversation, which at its core, is about inspiring you to rediscover who you really are – an innately capable and resilient human. I hope you enjoy listening.

Unlock The Power of Your Mind and Live Your Best Life Today with Lewis Howes

TRIGGER WARNING: CONTAINS REFERENCES TO SEXUAL ABUSE

What determines your success in life? Is it talent, opportunity, fate or luck? They can all be factors, but none of them determine your destiny. What does, according to today’s guest, is your mindset.

Lewis Howes is a best-selling author and host of The School Of Greatness podcast. He was recognised by the White House and President Obama as one of the top 100 entrepreneurs in America under 30. He’s also author of a brand new book, The Greatness Mindset: Unlock The Power Of Your Mind And Live Your Best Life Today.

Lewis firmly believes that we all have greatness within us but he says that the main enemy of greatness is the lack of a clear, meaningful mission. He believes we can all overcome our fears, self-doubt and rewrite the stories of our past to propel us into a brighter future.

He is someone that most people would consider successful but this wasn’t always the case. It wasn’t until Lewis hit his 30s – around 10 years ago – that he faced his biggest fear. For years Lewis had stayed silent and felt shameful about the fact he was sexually abused as a child. He shares the extraordinarily moving story of how he finally opened up about this, and started his journey of healing. Of course, he was scared to do so like so many of us are, when it comes to talking about deeply personal experiences.

In this episode, Lewis talks beautifully about the need for us to intentionally face our fears, the importance of letting go of guilt and shame, the particular struggles that men often feel when it comes to expressing their emotions, and the incredible power of forgiveness.

This was a really powerful, raw and honest conversation. I hope you enjoy listening.

What We All Need To Know About Human Emotions & How They Affect Our Behaviour with Batja Mesquita

Are emotions universal? Do you think people are programmed to feel a certain way in specific situations? Or is there a clear distinction between what makes you feel angry, happy or sad, compared to someone else?

Today’s guest is someone whose work I believe can help all of us to make better connections in a fractured, modern world. Batja Mesquita is a social psychologist, affective scientist, and pioneer of cultural psychology. She’s also a Professor of Psychology at the University of Leuven in Belgium and in her ground-breaking book, Between Us: How Cultures Create Emotions, she suggests emotions don’t live within us, they arise between us. They are made, not innate; they form in response to social interaction and can differ dramatically across societies and cultures.

That’s not, of course, to deny our emotions are authentic – or to say that we don’t feel them deeply. Rather it’s a way to acknowledge that not everyone will see the same situation in the same way. We can probably all think of occasions where someone from another culture has responded unusually to us – or where our own behaviour has been misunderstood by them.

In this conversation, Batja gives examples of how, as a Dutch academic visiting America, she found her colleagues’ culture of compliments uncomfortable and overfamiliar. She explains that it’s not about our language, although the words we choose to describe our feelings can be significant. Instead, says Batja, our culture, heritage, gender, socioeconomic group or even age influences how we interpret the world – and so what our emotional norms are in a given situation.

We cover so many thought-provoking topics, including:

What emotions really are – and why anger, shame or pride might differ across cultures.Parenting and how we understand and influence our child’s emotions.The immigrant experience and how being raised with dual cultures might affect your relationships and approach to life.How a better understanding of cultural differences and language interpretation could help doctor-patient relationships.

I absolutely loved Batja’s book and I think her work is really important. The more we are able to connect with our fellow humans instead of judging them, the happier and more harmonious the world is going to be. I hope you enjoy listening.

Fasting, Hormones & Menopause: Why Women Need A Different Approach To Men with Dr Mindy Pelz

CAUTION: This podcast discusses fasting, and its advice may not be suitable for anyone with an eating disorder. If you have an existing health condition or are taking medication, always consult your healthcare practitioner before going for prolonged periods without eating. 

Today’s podcast could transform the lives of many women – but it’s a conversation that is just as relevant for men. My guest is Mindy Pelz, a nutrition expert, an author and a pioneer on the subject of women’s health, hormones and fasting.

Fasting itself is a topic we’ve spoken about on many occasions on this podcast, as it can have many potential benefits for our health and longevity. But when we talk about fasting and health in general, we often presume that men and women are going to respond in the same way. But as Mindy explains, men and women are fundamentally different biologically and hormonally, which means they may need to adopt different approaches.

Mindy’s new book Fast Like A Girl – which really is a fantastic read -explains that distinction and goes on to provide the protocols women can use, so fasting works in their favour. It’s billed as a women’s guide to using fasting to burn fat, boost energy and balance hormones. But I’d argue that it gives us a whole lot more than that.

As we begin this conversation, Mindy sets out the key hormonal differences between men and women. With men governed primarily by testosterone, released at regular intervals and doses throughout the day. Women, however, are led by a symphony of oestrogen, testosterone and progesterone in amounts that vary across an average 28-day menstrual cycle. 

Mindy talks us through what exactly is going on hormonally during the four phases of a woman’s cycle and how this makes women feel physically, cognitively and emotionally. She explains how women can tailor everything from their working habits to their workouts, their social life to their diet, to better match their hormone profile at each stage of the cycle – this approach can help women feel more in control. We discuss the benefits for conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), infertility and irregular cycles.

We also discuss the different stages of women’s lives – reproductive, perimenopausal and post-menopausal – and how different types and lengths of fasting can be optimised in each stage.

But this conversation is not just about health. The fact that women’s confidence, motivation, cognition and energy levels will rise and dip throughout the month has major implications for the workplace and society in general. We are living in a world where half the population are experiencing this vital hormonal flux – and it’s a world largely set up and managed by men who don’t understand it.

This is not just an empowering listen for women, it is for all of us – partners, brothers, fathers, sons, and friends. I hope you enjoy listening.
