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.

Michael Pollan: Could Psychedelics Solve the Mental Health Crisis?
CAUTION ADVISED: this podcast contains swearing
Many of you will know Michael Pollan as a world-renowned food writer but now he has written a book that brings psychedelic drugs into mainstream consciousness. But why? Long before they gained a bad reputation, it seemed to researchers, scientists and doctors as though psychedelics were going to be the new wonder drugs for mental illnesses. They promised to treat conditions like alcoholism, depression and anxiety without the side effects associated with conventional drugs. But unfortunately, in the 1960’s, there was a backlash against the counter-culture who had embraced psychedelics and all further research was banned. Now, decades later, the world is in the grip of a mental health crisis. But thankfully, there is a glimmer of hope – research has recently begun again on the amazing potential of LSD, DMT and psilocybin.
This week, I sit down with Michael Pollan to take a deep dive into this extraordinary world. We explore the remarkable history of psychedelics, the findings of the current research in this area and Michael shares his own personal experiences with psychedelics under the guidance of therapists. Whilst larger scale studies are still needed, we talk about how therapist-guided psychedelic drug therapy could potentially change the way healthcare is delivered for mental illnesses – perhaps meaning a resolution of not only symptoms for patients, but also in many cases, the fundamental root causes. Finally, we discuss the potential wider use of psychedelics as a tool for social change. This really is a gripping and eye-opening conversation – I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Tennis: A Game for Life with Jamie Murray
CAUTION ADVISED: this podcast contains mild swearing.
Having won 6 grand slam titles, Jamie Murray is one of the most successful British tennis players of all time. This week, with Wimbledon nearly upon us, I sit down to talk with him about what he does behind the scenes to keep fit and healthy and what we can all learn from this – from the equipment he carries with him to how he focuses his mind before a match. We talk about his childhood, how much tennis he and his brother (Andy Murray) played as children and whether just focusing on one sport is beneficial for children. We also discuss the benefits of playing doubles and Jamie talks about his YouTube channel in which he has created instructional videos to help people improve their doubles game. Jamie believes that tennis is a game for everyone – I hope this conversation inspires you to pick up a tennis racket or simply get more active.

The Secret to a Long and Happy life
CAUTION ADVISED: this
podcast contains swearing.
A long healthy life is no accident. It begins with good genes, but it also depends on good habits. If you adopt the right lifestyle, experts say, chances are you may live up to a decade longer. So, what’s the formula for success? National Geographic Explorer and author Dan Buettner has lead teams of researchers across the globe to uncover the secrets of Blue Zones—geographic regions where high percentages of centenarians are enjoying remarkably long, full and happy lives. In this week’s episode, I talk with Dan about his adventures in the Blue Zones and discuss what we can all learn from his findings.
Dan
found commonalities amongst each of these Blue Zones which led to a formula for
success that includes lifestyle, community and purpose. We delve into all these
areas and discuss how achieving a long, healthy and happy life is something
that goes far beyond personal responsibility. People in these longevity hot
spots do not pursue health and happiness. Health and happiness ensues from the
environment which they are in. Dan explains what you can do to design your
surroundings to stack the deck in favour of health, longevity and happiness. We
also discuss Dan’s Blue Zones Project – a health and longevity initiative that
models the principles of communities around the world that have the longest
living people and applies those principles to other cities and communities. The
results have been staggering.
Finally,
Dan explains how he has changed his own lifestyle following his research and he
shares his top tips for living a longer and more fulfilling life. This is a
fascinating conversation – I hope you enjoy it!

Pushing Your Limits and Discovering Yourself with Kilian Jornet
When was the last time you were
completely alone? Not alone by modern standards, but truly alone –
with no mobile phone or outside influences providing information to your brain.
Can you think of a time? Global icon, prolific mountain runner and guest on
this week’s episode, Kilian Jornet believes that it is only when you take away
the storm of information, that you can discover what your true priorities are.
And for him, the mountains are the tool to do just that. Not only do they allow
him to explore the beauty of nature, they allow him to discover himself. He
explains that by pushing his body to its limits, all the masks that he wears in
everyday life are removed and he is able to find out who he really is.
Kilian and I discuss the benefits of
solitude, failure and visualisation. We delve into Kilian’s amazing feat of
climbing Everest twice in one week and talk about how immersing oneself in a
challenging situation can be a form of mediation. Finally, Kilian shares some
brilliant tips to help us all connect with ourselves and live our best
lives. I found Kilian’s single-minded drive to live the life he
wants to live truly inspiring – I hope this conversation inspires you
too.
