How to Reverse Childhood Obesity with Kim Roberts
SPECIAL EPISODE FOR WORLD OBESITY DAY to
support a charity called HENRY, which is doing amazing work to combat childhood
obesity.
The statistics look
gloomy. 1 in 10 children are obese when they start school and the odds are
stacked against them. Only 1 in 20 children who starts school obese, will be a
healthy weight when they leave primary school. But finally, there is a glimmer
of hope. Have HENRY found a solution to reverse the trend? Their results so far
are extremely promising. Today, I talk to Chief Executive of HENRY, Kim Roberts
about the amazing work that HENRY does and what they have achieved so far.
HENRY believes that the problem doesn’t just lie in what people are eating and
tries to work with parents to create healthy environments. Kim explains that
empathy before education is key and that HENRY takes a holistic approach to helping
families become healthier and happier. The practitioners that HENRY trains have
reported that they too have benefited from the training and have made positive
change in their lives. HENRY’s approach echoes my own approach when tackling
health of families and I believe that if it was available to all families, we
would be a happier, healthier nation. At a time when childhood obesity
is on the rise and we are at risk of our children having a lower life
expectancy than their parents, it has never been more imperative to talk about
these issues. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

Why Getting More Light Will Transform Your Health with Linda Geddes
Since the dawn of time, humans have worshipped the sun. And with good reason. Our biology is set up to work in partnership with it. From our sleep cycles to our immune systems and our mental health, access to sunlight is crucial for living a happy and fulfilling life. Our bodies and our brains are designed to function during the day and rest at night. But as more of us move into light-polluted cities, spending our days in dim offices and our evenings watching brightly lit screens, we are in danger of losing something vital: our connection to the star that gave us life. It’s a loss that could have far-reaching consequences for our health.
This week, I sit down with award-winning journalist, Linda Geddes, to discuss just what those health implications are. We talk about the concept of night owls and larks and examine whether getting a lie in at the weekend is really as restorative as it sounds. We discuss jet lag and Linda shares the fascinating findings of her research in this area – including her own experiment of getting rid of light at night in her own home. Finally, we discuss what we can all do to get a little more light into our days. If you are listening to this podcast during the day, you won’t be able to resist the urge of going outside to soak up some natural light!

How to Optimise Your Brain Health with Dr Rahul Jandial
We are undergoing a huge technological experiment. In our pockets we
have tiny technological miracles through which we can communicate, instantly,
with anyone on the planet. We are constantly bombarded with endless
information. But what impact is all this having on our brain? Why is it
important to allow our brains to drift into random thoughts and be creative? I
discuss all this with neuroscientist and brain surgeon, Dr Rahul Jandial, who
loves technology but believes that we need to structure some boundaries around
its use – especially for children. We talk about the impact of music on the
brain and what it means to be in flow state. Dr Jandial explains what happens
in the brain when we engage in what he calls “meditative breathing” and why he
is such a huge proponent of it. He explains how his knowledge of brain
health has shaped the way he parents– from encouraging navigational skills in
his children to exposing them to a diverse range of experiences. It seems where
the brain is concerned – if you don’t use it, you lose it! Finally, he draws on
his years of experience as a brain surgeon to share some practical tips that
can help us all get the best out of our minds.

What Every Parent Should Know with Philippa Perry
How do we improve our relationship with our children? Why do our children make us feel so irritated at times? And what do we do if we’ve acted in a way that we shouldn’t have? I’m joined this week by psychotherapist and author, Philippa Perry, to talk about all these issues and more. We discuss why culture gets in the way of our natural instincts and why she believes that allowing your child to “cry it out” can be harmful.
We delve into the effect that technology is having on our relationships and discuss screen-time for kids. Philippa explains that although we all get it wrong at times, it is how we repair our mistakes that is key. We also discuss why being authentic with our children is important for a close connection. Finally, Philippa shares her tops tips, which I have started putting into practice already! At the heart of Philippa’s advice is connection and the advice she gives is applicable to all our human relationships – not just those with our children! I hope this conversation helps you deepen the human connections in your life.

How Diet Can Save Your Mental Health with Professor Felice Jacka
We all know that a poor diet negatively impacts our physical health. In fact, it is now the leading cause of early death in men and number two in women. But it’s not only our physical health that is affected – the effects on our mental health can also be devastating. This week, I am joined by world leading expert in the field of nutritional psychiatry, Professor Felice Jacka, to discuss her ground-breaking research into the link between food and our mental health. We discuss why lifestyle medicine should be the starting point for many mental health conditions and why there is an urgent need to train medical practitioners to give such lifestyle advice. We delve into the important role the gut microbiome plays in this area and how a diet rich in diversity is key. We also talk about the link between a mother’s diet in pregnancy and their child’s emotional health. At a time where the modern food environment is so broken and depression and anxiety are on the rise, this conversation is more important than ever. It really is a fascinating listen – I hope you enjoy it!

Why You Are Stronger Than You Think with Ross Edgley
This week, I have the great pleasure of sitting down with arguably the fittest (but definitely one of the loveliest) men on the planet – swimmer and all-round adventurer, Ross Edgley. He believes that the next frontier of human performance is the mind and his superhuman feats are testament to that fact. He is the first ever swimmer to circumnavigate the whole of Great Britain without ever setting foot on land. And this is just one in a long list of mind-blowing accomplishments for Ross.
But how is all that relevant to the rest of us? As well as talking about how he got through his epic journey, Ross explains the science behind why our minds limit us. He explains how we can all push ourselves beyond our comfort zones and reap the amazing knock-on benefits that come from doing that. We delve into the importance of intrinsic motivation and self-discovery through self-discipline. Ross speaks with wisdom and humility and is truly inspirational – he challenges you to go on your own journey of self-discovery. The overriding message from both of us is – it doesn’t matter where you start, just start somewhere. I hope this episode inspires you to push yourself outside your circle of comfort.

Brain Training, Addiction, Self-Love and Community – End of Season 2
CAUTION ADVISED:
this podcast contains swearing and themes of an adult nature.
This week’s episode wraps up the second season of the Feel
Better, Live More podcast. Over the past 12 months, I’ve had the honour of sharing fascinating
conversations with a wide variety of incredible people. Thank you to every
single one of my guests – each conversation has been an inspiration to
me.
In this episode I re-share some of the anecdotes and wisdom shared by a
few guests from this series – Dr Tara Swart explains how we can all take back
control of our lives by training our brains to create the life we want to live;
Dr Gabor Mate calls for a compassionate approach toward addiction, where
we look for the source of the pain that has led to the addiction; Chloe
Brotheridge talks about self love and the importance of putting ourselves
first in order to be in the best that we can be for others; and Johann
Hari shares a heart-warming story of how an unlikely community was borne
out of desperation and the unbelievable transformations that occurred for the
whole community as a result of it.
This isn’t a ‘best of’ episode – there are far too many amazing
conversations to choose from for that – but I hope that you enjoy these clips
and that this short compilation reminds you of some of your favourite episodes
or inspires you to check out previous episodes you might have missed.
Thank
you to every single one of you who downloads, listens, shares, comments and
gives feedback on this podcast – I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
I’d
love it if you would join the #FBLM podcast conversation online, share the
podcast, let me know what your favourite topics have been and what you’d like
to see covered in the new series. Until then, I hope that you have a fantastic
summer. Whatever you get up to, I really hope that you try and apply some of
the things that you’ve learnt from this podcast. And finally, in the words of
Haemin Sunim in episode 62, ‘May you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be
peaceful, may you always be protected’.

What Makes Us Human with Tony Riddle
This week I sit down with natural lifestyle coach, Tony Riddle, who plans to run the whole length of Great Britain completing 30 miles every day for 30 days completely barefoot in order to show what humans are capable of and what he believes is biologically normal for us. He also plans to raise awareness of sustainability along the way. Tony believes that we are a species that is destined to be innately empowered, wild and connected yet our modern lives are removing us from this natural state. For the last 18 years, Tony’s whole raison d’etre has been to find ways of living that are more in sync with our human biology in order to allow himself, his family and his clients to thrive in this modern world and in this episode, we discuss what he has learnt.
Tony believes that the closer you take people to nature, the better able they are to heal. Many would consider Tony’s lifestyle extreme – he has no chairs in his house and is mostly barefoot. Tony explains why he has made the decision to get rid of all the chairs in his home, why the squat is so important and why having functioning feet is critical for our overall health. Tony also shares some simple ways that office workers and night shift workers can improve their health whilst at work. Finally, Tony shares some of his top tips that will help us all feel better in our everyday lives. This conversation provides a really fascinating insight into what Tony believes is the true essence of being human. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Why Sleep is the Most Important Pillar of Health with Professor Matthew Walker
This interview originally aired 12 months ago as a
2 part conversation, which have proved to be two of the most popular episodes
that I have released so far. Many listeners have asked me to re-release them as
one single conversation so that they can listen from start to finish without
interruption, so here it is!
Sleep is one of the most undervalued components of
our health, yet neglecting it can have devastating consequences. In this
episode, I talk to world-leading sleep researcher, author of the international
best-selling book ‘Why We Sleep’ and Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology,
Matthew Walker. We discuss everything you ever needed to know about sleep.
Matthew shares some brilliant tips to combat jet lag, explains how sleep can
enhance athletic performance and decrease risk of injury and reveals just how
much caffeine consumption can impact sleep. We explore the reasons behind the
current global sleep-loss epidemic and how sleep deprivation can affect every
aspect of our health – from our blood sugar levels and our risk of heart attack
to our mental health. Finally, we discuss alcohol’s impact on sleep and the
staggering financial costs associated with lost sleep. Matthew also shares what
he has changed in his own life since starting his research. This is an
invaluable conversation – I hope you enjoy it!
Please note: Matthew has agreed to do a follow-up podcast to answer any questions you may still have about sleep. Listen and let me know which questions you would like me to put to Matthew via my closed Facebook group (Dr Chatterjee 4 Pillar Community Tribe), where you can also discuss other podcast episodes and any lifestyle changes that you are trying to make.
