Rich Roll on Conversation, Connection and How To Cope In a Toxic World
My guest on this week’s podcast is plant-powered wellness advocate, best-selling author and podcast host, Rich Roll. You may remember Rich from episode 28, when he talked about his transformation from overweight alcoholic to vegan ultra-endurance athlete, and the importance of finding purpose in life. Rich is the first of my guests to feature on Feel Better Live More for a second time and that’s because, when I met him back in autumn 2018, I felt a deep connection and I knew our conversation wasn’t finished.
We cover so much ground in this chat, from
learning how to say no, to avoiding the toxic nutrition wars on Twitter and why
it’s OK not to watch the News. Rich recounts his journey of sobriety and
reveals why ‘alcoholic’ is one label he’ll never give up. We talk about
addiction as a broad spectrum of disease that even includes our dependence on
technology. Finally, we discuss how best to cope with the divided state of the
world, how vital it is to open up to new perspectives, and why long-form
conversations – like this very podcast – might just be the antidote
we need in our distracted, modern world.
I think you can hear how much I enjoyed
catching up with Rich again and I know there will be many topics that resonate
with you. I hope you find it as inspiring as I did.

How To Make Lifestyle Changes That Will Last with Dr Rangan Chatterjee and Dr Ayan Panja
Why is it that so many of us find it hard to stick to a new diet or lifestyle plan? We all start off well enough – full of energy and optimism but then the novelty soon wears off and life gets in the way. After some time, we are right back where we first started. The fact is, most health plans are based on the common, but incorrect assumption that we can make sweeping and lasting changes to our health by relying solely on willpower and motivation. But for the vast majority of us, this is just not true. This is exactly why I wrote my new book, ‘Feel Better in 5’– I want to empower people to make changes in their life not just in the short term, but ones that will stand the test of time.
This week, my good friend Dr Ayan Panja returns to the podcast and we discuss just how we can all make lifestyle changes that last. We talk about how 5 minute chunks of time really can change your life, the importance of human connection when trying to make lifestyle change, why I am such a fan of a rounded approach to health and the ripple effect – how one small change in one aspect of your life can very quickly ripple into other areas. We also discuss what, in our collective 40 years of clinical experience, we have found to actually work with our patients when making lifestyle change. We delve into the latest in behaviour science and how we can use this to help us make new healthy habits. Finally, I explain to Ayan that my goal in writing ‘Feel Better in 5’ was to make health as accessible as possible to people of all backgrounds hence the reason nearly all the recommendations within it are completely free. Ayan finishes by sharing some of his tops tips. I really enjoyed taking some time out to sit down and chat with one of my best friends – I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did!

Can you spare just five minutes today to be kind?
While kindness is, of course, something I hope
we all put out into the world – and receive in return – on a daily basis, I’m
all for making time to reinforce and celebrate its positive effects.
Being kind to others doesn’t just benefit
them. Recent research confirms that
kindness can be incredibly beneficial for our
wellbeing, too. Psychologists know caring and showing empathy can reduce pain, anxiety, depression and give you
more energy, as well as make you happier and extend your life. One study from
the Yale School of Medicine in the US found that people who perform more acts
of kindness in a day are more resilient to stress and have a more positive
outlook on life.
So today, I’d like you to make time for a
five-minute act of kindness. See it as something extra, a conscious effort to
go above and beyond what you might normally do for others.
Spread some joy
In my new book, Feel Better In 5, there are a selection of five-minute exercises I suggest to help you become a healthier, happier version of yourself. They’re called ‘health snacks’ and the idea is they don’t require huge time commitments, so they feel achievable. But they put you on a journey to greater wellbeing and soon add up to real health results. One of my favourites is what I call, ‘The Kindness Practice’ – this falls into the Heart section of the book, which focuses on ways we can increase those all-important emotional connections in our lives.
There are infinite ways you can spend five-minutes on a simple act of kindness. Here are some suggestions to get you started, but I’m sure you can think of many more (I’d love you to share them with me on any of my social media channels):
You
could send someone you know a meaningful text, telling them how much you value
them or thanking them for something they’ve done, either recently or a long
time ago. It
could be a little note you write to your kids for when they wake up in the
morning. You
could pop by to say hello to an elderly neighbour on your way back home,
bringing in their bins or picking up their post as you do.Why not
strike up a conversation with the barista who made your latte and thank them
for making it just the way you like it?If
there’s a local business you use and value, could you write them a short
testimonial to share online?You
could make a packed lunch for your partner or tuck a treat into their bag for
them to find later, along with funny note to make them smile. If you
spot a greetings card someone you know would like, you could buy it and pop it
in the post to them, just because…
You
see, it doesn’t take much to make someone else – and yourself – feel
better. We are often so busy we don’t let the people around us know we value
them. Doing so is easy, it doesn’t have to cost anything, and we can give them
a wonderful, warm glow that they can carry with them for the rest of the day. I
often imagine how much happier the world would be if everyone in it did a small
act of kindness every day. It would change everything.
The Ripple Effect
How, exactly, can just five minutes a day
begin to ‘change everything’? It’s a bold claim, I know, but I’ve seen it in
action and I call it The Ripple Effect.
It
happens when tiny changes in routine trigger new, positive changes in other
areas. For example, someone who starts doing five minutes of exercise a day will
begin to feel the difference it’s making and find themselves motivated to stop
eating junk food.
It’s
not hard to see how the positive effects of kindness might ripple out and
improve the mental and physical health and overall lives of everyone involved.
That note to your kids makes them feel loved and safe, gives them the
confidence to stand up for someone being bullied. The elderly neighbour you
visited feels less lonely and decides they have the energy to get to their
bridge club after all. Your own self-esteem is bolstered, you feel less
stressed out and suddenly that after-work run doesn’t sound so exhausting
anymore.
I have
seen this ‘ripple effect’ work with my patients over and over again.
Take one, small step and the benefits will ripple out into many different areas and help more than just you – that’s the true, life-changing potential of the Feel Better in 5 programme.
For more ideas to nurture Mind, Body and Heart, order my book Feel Better In 5: Your Daily Plan To Feel Great For Life.

If This Man Can Turn His Life Around, So Can You with John McAvoy
CAUTION ADVISED: this podcast contains swearing.
Is there a change you’d like to make in your life? Something you’re desperate to overcome, but can’t see how? Or a goal you’re scared to aim for, because it feels too far off? My guest on this week’s podcast might just convince you to have a go. He’s John McAvoy, endurance athlete extraordinaire, author and the man with one of the most inspirational stories I have ever heard. John was born into a notorious crime family and has served a total of 10 years in some of the UK’s highest security prisons, for armed robbery. He was raised into a life of organised crime and, as a teenager, it was the only career path he could see for himself. In fact, he bought his first gun at the age of 16 and very quickly became one of the UK’s most wanted men. How did he go from serving two life sentences to breaking British and World sporting records and giving talks to schoolchildren? From violent criminal to opinion leader, invited to 10 Downing Street for his views on the justice system? You’ll have to listen and find out. Not only is every part of John’s story worthy of a Hollywood movie script, the lessons and life advice he shares are relevant to each and every one of us. Whether you’re interested in his rowing and Ironman success, how he transformed his moral code or how he overcame adversity, this really is a compelling conversation. I know you’re going to be as gripped by John as I was.

Is There Anything Better Than Movement For Transforming The Way That You Feel: Best of 2019
Over the past
2 years, I have had the privilege of talking with some of the most influential
and insightful voices in the health and wellbeing space. To celebrate, I have
released 3 very special compilation episodes at the end of 2019, which happens
to also be the end of the decade! In my new book, Feel Better in 5, I split up health into 3 main areas: Mind,
Body and Heart. I covered ‘Mind’ and ‘Heart’ in the past 2 episodes of the
podcast and in today’s show, the theme is ‘Body’ – we all know that moving
our body each day is crucial for our health and our wellbeing – it give us more
energy, better creativity, improves our sleep quality and so much more.
In today’s
episode, you are going to hear some of the best clips on this topic from my
podcast. You will hear from the inspirational radio presenter, Vassos
Alexander, on just how unfit he was a few years ago, why he started to exercise
and how he has quickly become a really experienced and accomplished runner, the
medical doctor, Mithu Storoni, who shares how regularly moving throughout
the day helps you to buffer the effects of stress, the neuroscientist, Shane
O’Mara, who explains how sitting around all day is exhausting and how movement
actually energises us, and how walking can reverse aging in the brain. Then you
will hear a clip from one of my most enjoyable conversations so far, with the
filmmaker, Sanjay Rawal, who shares how we can approach running and, in fact,
all movement, in a completely different way and use it as a pathway to transformation.
I then share clips from the science journalist and author, Linda Geddes, on how
going out for a walk every lunchtime helps you to strengthen your own circadian
rhythm and helps you be more alert, Tony Riddle who shares his view on why
humans are currently living in conflict with their evolutionary heritage and
why he made the decision to remove all of the chairs from his house and
finally, the inspirational, Ross Edgeley, who explains why the most
important component for any movement practice is adherence – and why choosing a
movement that you ENJOY is so important in terms of sticking to it in the
long term.
I hope you
will find this an inspirational episode as we move from one decade, into a
brand new one. Enjoy!
There are a wide variety of 5 minute movements in my brand new book Feel Better in 5 – 5 minute bodyweight strength training workouts that require no equipment, 5 minute yoga flows, 5 minute HIIT workouts, 5 minute playful ones and so much more. You can order your very own copy now – Feel better in 5; Your Daily Plan to Feel Better for Life.

Desk Jockey Workout: 4/4 The Crucifix
The Desk Jockey Workout is one of the many 5 minute workouts from my book. Feel Better in 5. It is particularly good if you spend most of your day sitting down, perhaps looking at screens. It can be incredibly helpful for back pain, neck pain, shoulder discomfort and general stiffness. Each of the 4 movements should be done in sequence. Quality is much more important than quantity. For detailed written instructions on how to do each movement, please see pages 169-177 of my book, Feel Better in 5.
This video demonstrates the fourth and final movement from the ‘Desk Jockey Workout’ – it is called ‘The Crucifix’. I’ve been doing the crucifix for years and it has helped enormously with my back pain and posture. The beauty of this exercise is that it can be done anywhere with no equipment at all. It doesn’t leave you sweaty either, so it is perfect to do at work. After doing this movement, my upper back, neck and shoulders feel fantastic. Give it a go and let me know below what you think.

It can be incredibly helpful for back pain, neck pain, shoulder discomfort and general stiffness. Each of the 4 movements should be done in sequence. Quality is much more important than quantity. For detailed written instructions on how to do each movement, please see pages 169-177 of my book, Feel Better in 5.
This video demonstrates the third out of four movements in the ‘Desk Jockey Workout’ – it is called ‘Arm Spirals’. Our arms and shoulder blades are chronically underused, especially in people who are stuck in chairs all day with their arms relatively immobile. This can lead to pain in our necks and shoulders and, sometimes, contribute to headaches. Arm spirals are a brilliant way to wake up your arms and shoulder blades and get them moving. This is one of my favourite movements to do after a long day at work. Give it a go and let me know what you think.

This video demonstrates the second out of four movements in the ‘Desk Jockey Workout’ – it is called ‘Frontal Cogs’. Frontal cogs are similar to the previous movement, wall cogs, but work your body in a different plane. In this movement, you will use your back and chest muscles as well as your ribs. Once you get the hang of this one, it is a really enjoyable movement to do. Give it a go and let me know what you think.
