We’ve been busy ‘podding’ this week, with loads of new podcasts added to our free resource.
First up it’s the monthly podcast from Dr Joel Fuhrman and his daughter Jenna. This month they are dissecting the causes and treatment options for diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a worldwide epidemic and if you’ve ever wanted to understand what causes it and how to avoid/heal from it this is a sound 50 minute investment:
Next up it’s Dr Ayan Panja an NHS doctor with 25+ years experience. We love these bite-sized weekly podcast shows (typically 14/15 mins). In this week’s show he discusses the positive and negative emotions our role models bring out in us and the impact that has on our health.
Dr Cole’s latest podcast focuses on forever chemicals (PFAS) and their impact on our health. From understanding what they are and how they have become part of our daily lives, to recognising the symptoms and how to test for exposure to them Dr Will looks at practical strategies to minimise our exposure. They may be invisible, but that doesn’t make them any less detrimental to our health. You can find the 56 min PFA episode here.
Dr Perlmutter’s 2 weekly podcast is fascinating. The latest episode focuses on improving brain health through physical exercise with Louisa Nicola, neurophysiologist and human performance coach. Who knew how exercise impacts our brain health? Well, it does. 38 min well spent.
Megan Devine’s podcast is powerful. She’s a psychotherapist and grief advocate. Here she questions why we have made trauma (aka resilience) into something we celebrate with one of our hugely admired doctors; Dr Gabor Maté. They discuss elephants and his preparations to interview Prince Harry earlier in the year.
Also this week we’ve added Dr Maté’s newest tome to our Healthy Mind book resource.
We’ve spent time working on our Disorders and Addictions section of the site too. Dr Maté’s work is featured there, along with these folks:
Back in podcast land, to this: This week’s Kate Bowler’s podcast has this powerful edition.
WARNING – may be triggering.
We were gifted this beautiful memoir last Christmas and we have no words to do it justice. ‘Comedians have the ability to be unsparingly honest in ways that buck all cultural norms. It’s a truth-telling that so many of us crave. Cue Rob Delaney. Rob is a comedian, actor, writer, and director. His memoir, A Heart That Works is an unsparing account of the death of his beautiful son, Henry. Rob lives in London with his family where Kate visited him for this honest and hilarious conversation.’
Kate and Rob discuss: ‘The importance of finding people who really understand what you’re feeling. What not to say to people whose kids have died. How tragic loss exiles you to a planet where only those who understand grief live. The ways we hope grief metabolises in us and transforms us into empathetic, heart-open kinds of people. Rob wants us all to understand that if the unthinkable happens, our hearts still beat so strong in truth and love.’
As Rob says: ‘Ask me questions!’ 53 unforgettable minutes here.
Over to the Kris Carr podcast: Kris has lived with stage 4 cancer for 20+ yrs. She is well qualified to talk about How to Be the CEO of Your Health – the title of this week’s episode. She believes that ‘We all have an innate power to heal ourselves.’
Kris would agree with this sentiment:
Next is Dr Nicole LePera (aka The Holistic Psychologist)’s podcast. This week’s is no99 (wonder what she’s got up her sleeve for the big 100?) in which she invites us to: ‘Discover the power of authentic relationships and join us on the brave journey of embracing uncomfortable truths and growing into one’s authentic self. Learn how to identify and create new friendships that align with your soul and stand in your truth.’
Whew. That was a busy week. Took a moment to enjoy these fresh figs and blackberries from the garden, with the best vegan Greek yoghurt we’ve found (Abbot Kinneys) on top of Deliciously Ella‘s pancakes. Delicious they certainly were.
Right, back to work. Always more to do!
