In today's episode, we delve into the often-overlooked topic of male fertility. Despite its significance, discussions around male fertility remain sparse, with many unaware of its prevalence. Shockingly, statistics reveal that one-third of all infertility cases are attributed to male factors. Our guest, leading urologist Dr. Justin Dubin, sheds light on this crucial aspect of men's health. As a specialist in men's health and co-host of The Man Up Podcast, Dr. Dubin offers invaluable insights into optimising male fertility. He emphasises the importance of men taking an active role in addressing fertility issues and provides actionable steps to enhance overall reproductive health.

Join us as we explore the factors influencing male fertility and learn practical strategies to improve reproductive wellness. Dr. Dubin's expertise offers a comprehensive understanding of this vital aspect of men's health, empowering listeners to take control of their fertility journey for long-term well-being.

In today's episode, I talk with Dr. Shazia Malik, a leading consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist based in London with expertise in reproductive medicine and surgery. Dr. Malik's impressive credentials include graduating with honours, pursuing advanced training in Cambridge, and gaining accreditation in reproductive medicine and surgery at the Distinguished University College Hospital in London. She has further honed her skills at renowned institutions like King's College Hospital and has emerged as an IVF consultant with extensive experience in reproductive health and fertility.

Our conversation delves into essential topics that often remain unaddressed, shedding light on gaps in our understanding of women's health.

Over the past year, my exploration of fertility has been fuelled by personal experiences and challenges, prompting me to uncover the often overlooked aspects of women's health. I've been continuously amazed by the gaps in our collective knowledge and realized that I'm not alone in lacking awareness of fundamental biological facts. Sadly, women's health remains underfunded and neglected, leaving many individuals uninformed about crucial biological processes and potential disruptions. While today's episode may diverge from our typical content, the significance of this topic compelled me to share these insights with you, and I hope you find value in our conversation.

In today's episode, I am joined by Nikki Armitage-Foy, a renowned performance coach and the visionary founder of Electric Women. Nicky has been the guiding force behind numerous powerful women gracing stages and boardrooms globally.

When Nikki was in her twenties, her well-oiled masculine approach to life was leaving her feeling depleted and feeling as if I she never doing it ‘right’. And as a release she over-ate, over-drank, over-shopped, spent way too much time in her head and felt disconnected from her body. In 2010, she did a visualisation where she ‘met’ her Electric Woman. She had a vision of a woman who emitted peace and power, she ran a successful business and had a full, happy and conscious life that she designed, true to her values. Nikki now supports women to 'meet' their own Electric Woman, to help them design their lives and access their true power.

Today we delve into the behind-the-scenes role that Nikki plays—the secret ingredient in the success stories of many influential women. Join us for an engaging conversation as Nikki Armitage-Foy imparts her perspective on building a successful life and shares valuable insights and practical tools that can guide you on your own journey to personal empowerment.

And just like that we're back and ready to take over your Sundays! I've been so excited to launch Season 10 - we've got some incredible guests lined up and it's going to be bigger and better than ever! And what a better way to start than with one of the UK’s leading psychosexual and relationship therapists, Kate Moyle.

Sexual wellness is a topic that is slowly becoming more spoken about and with this new liberation spreading over the globe, I thought that there is no one better than Kate to talk to about this topic. A recent study found that nearly half of 25-34 year old woman complained of a lack of sexual enjoyment and another found that people in Britain were having less sex than they once did. These numbers do sound bleak but behind any problem there are always solutions and steps forward!

The wonderful Kate works with anyone that is struggling with difficulties in their sex lives, particularly with people whose sexuality is impacted by the stresses of modern life. Kate helps thousands of people recognise their personal understanding of sexuality and sexual health and takes the view that all issues including sexual wellness have roots in psychology, emotion and a person’s history and culture. Ultimately Kate’s work is about helping people get to a place of sexual health, happiness and wellbeing. I don't hold back in this episode so it's definitely worth a listen!

I've got some big news - we're officially one week away from the tenth season of the Not Perfect Podcast! I'll be back with a brand new episode next week but today I wanted to replay one of the most mind-blowing episodes. Wow, wow and just more wow. There are those books that arrive and are so powerful, they challenge your outlook, teach you new things and leave you better than when you started. This episode dives into one of those books - Maybe You Should Talk To Someone with the author Lori Gottlieb. We speak about letting go of the past, breaking patterns, heartbreak, love, managing life and most importantly discuss why therapy is so powerful!

Lori Gottlieb is a psychotherapist and author of the New York Times bestseller Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, which is being adapted as a television series. In addition to her clinical practice, she writes The Atlantic’s weekly “Dear Therapist” advice column and contributes regularly to The New York Times and many other publications. Her recent TED Talk is one of the top 10 most watched of the year. A member of the Advisory Council for Bring Change to Mind and advisor to the Aspen Institute, she is a sought-after expert in media such as The Today Show, Good Morning America, The CBS This Morning, CNN, and NPR’s “Fresh Air.” She is also the co-host of the new iHeart Radio podcast, “Dear Therapists,” produced by Katie Couric.

This is another one of my all time favourite interviews where I speak to writer and thought leader in human potential, Peter Crone, aka ‘The Mind Architect’.

I’ve been following Peter’s work for the last few years and it has had a profound impact on me along with millions of people around the world. He has worked with world-famous actors, athletes and very successful businessmen, yet what he teaches resonates with every individual. There are very few people in life who are able to sum up seemingly complex ideas about what it means to be human and make all the anxieties we face sound simple. Peter Crone is one of them. 

In this episode, Peter explains his famous quote: ‘true happiness is the absence of the search for happiness’ and why being at peace with the worst case scenario means there is nothing left to fear. He goes on to explain how we can only be free when we are in complete harmony with our current circumstances. It's when we stop trying to figure everything out, that we will find freedom. 

The product Peter shares is freedom and though you might wonder how an earth someone can sell freedom, this interview will show you how. His philosophy is life-changing and this is such a powerful conversation which I hope will help every single one of you.

For more on Peter Crone, be sure to follow him on Instagram @petercroneofficial and check out his website https://www.petercrone.com.

I'm taking you back to one of my favourite episodes! Wow, this conversation was spine chilling and eye opening! In this episode, I speak with a global expert on narcissism (a topic I have been fascinated by and longing to dive in deeper). My special guest is Dr Ramani Durvasula - best selling author, clinical psychologist, professor of psychology and media expert.

You may have watched Dr Ramani share her expertise on narcissistic personality disorder and narcissistic abuse on Red Table with Jada and Willow Smith, The Today Show or Good Morning America amongst many others.

Dr Ramani breaks down narcissism in a way you can easily understand and if you're like me, this episode made me have so many aha moments! Dr Ramani explains behaviour that often feels unexplainable and we unpack gas lighting and love bombing. We are confronting a topic that is one of the highest forms of manipulation in my opinion and I’m sure everyone has been exposed to it in some way or another.

Dr Ramani books are fantastic and I also encourage you to check out her YouTube channel!

Hello and welcome to a very special bonus episode with a teacher, guider and my astrologist for over 10 years, Ruth Nahmias. She is one of the brightest stars that I know and gives the most sound advice. If you’re not into astrology, please don’t immediately assume that this episode is not worth listening to. I personally use astrology as a self-reflecting tool because it either resonates or it doesn’t and I think that the stars can often provide wisdom. 

Hopefully this episode will give you things to think about, point you in the right direction and just raise your awareness of what we can expect to unfold in 2022. As I’m sure you might agree this past year has been a hard one. We have had to navigate a lot of changes, there’s been a lot of fear and there has been constant uncertainty. So I think we’re all looking forward to a more positive 2022! 

Well done everyone for getting through this past year and I look forward to connecting with more of you in 2022! :)

Welcome to an extremely special episode to mark 100 episodes of the Not Perfect Podcast!! I began this podcast in 2019 and it has definitely been one of the best things I've ever done. I just want to take a moment to say a BIG thank you to all my loyal listeners and to all my wonderful guests. It has been complete therapy for me as I hope it's been for you. It has opened up conversations I wouldn't have had, introduced me to books that I may not have read and in all honesty it's just been heaven to speak to some of you and connect on so many different levels. It truly makes my day when I receive messages or reviews about the podcast!

To mark the 100th episode, we thought we would combine some of our most listened to episodes over the past couple of years and share some of the fantastic answers to the first few questions which I ask every guest at the start of the podcast. Hearing all of their answers together just proves how unbelievably wonderful all my guests have been, they all have so much wisdom to share and I'm so happy that I've been able to share these conversations with you.

Here's to many more brilliant guests and I can't wait for you all to see what we have in store for the next series!

Wishing you all a VERY happy Christmas!

I am absolutely thrilled to have someone I greatly look up to on the show today. Today’s guest is Helen Russell, a British journalist, happiness researcher and international bestselling author of The Year of Living Danishly, Leap Year, Gone Viking and The Atlas of Happiness. Helen was formerly the editor of Marie Claire online and has been a long term writer for The Telegraph, Stylist, Metro, The Independent and many others. Today we are going to be speaking about her new book and I implore every single person to read this. It’s called How to be Sad. I saw this title a few months ago and I thought this couldn’t be a more relevant book for my show. Embracing our full emotional spectrum is not easy but thankfully Helen is here to share her wisdom about getting happier by being sad. 

With so much going on in the world right now, it’s important we don’t suppress our emotions. We are all allowed emotions and I hope this conversation helps you learn how to embrace them. 

How to be Sad is out in paperback in January 2022 and you can pre-order it here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Sad-Everything-learned-getting/dp/0008384592/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Today I am interviewing a total mastermind who has unlocked the creativity of millions. The New York Times called her the Queen of Change. She is 73 years old, an author of 40 books, an artist, scriptwriter, poet, playwright, novelist, composer, journalist, teacher, speaker and so much more. I am of course speaking about the wonderful Julia Cameron. 

You may have heard about the concept of morning pages or perhaps you’ve heard of the iconic book, The Artists Way. This is a manifestation of Julia’s mind. For over 40 years, she’s been changing people’s lives by helping them to discover the natural born creativity, manage that mean inner critic and become unblocked. The Artists Way has helped millions of people and I continue to turn to it whenever I’m in need of some inspiration. Since then her book The Listening Path has come out and she has a new book out in January 2022 called Seeking Wisdom which should be immediately added to your Christmas wish list. I hope you all enjoy listening to Julia and all her wonderful wisdom!

Today’s guest is a fascinating one. I first found him through his book, The Secret of Instant Healing and then began to watch video after video of this man heal people all around the world. 

Dr Frank Kinslow has been researching and teaching healing techniques for more than 35 years. His work draws from his clinical experience as a chiropractic physician and a huge passion for relativity and quantum physics. In 2007 the Quantum Entrainment process of instant healing was born out of a personal crisis. Dr Kinslow began to share his method and within a few years, tens of thousands of people around the world began healing themselves through his work. Dr Frank went on to publish bestselling books, including Beyond Happiness, How to Be Happy Without Even Trying, The Secret of Instant Healing and the list goes on. His body of work is truly phenomenal. Beside this he is a teacher for the deaf, a doctor of clinical spiritual counselling. It is a true honour to have him on the show today.

Today I am thrilled to be speaking to Emma Gannon, a close friend and prolific writer, best known for her bestselling books and hosting the Ctrl Alt Delete podcast. Currently, Emma lends her thought-provoking insights to the Hyphen newsletter, where she delicately explores the nuanced aspects of life. In her latest masterpiece, "The Success Myth," Emma takes us on a journey to unravel the myths surrounding success and its purported link to happiness. It's a common assumption that a bit more success equates to greater happiness, but Emma challenges this simplistic formula. Throughout the episode, she guides us towards a new path—one that promises not just success, but profound fulfillment. It's a path that diverges from conventional ideas of success, offering a refreshing perspective.

Emma doesn't claim to have all the answers; she's not a guru. Instead, she invites us to join her in an exploration, a thoughtful journey that challenges preconceived notions and encourages us to redefine our understanding of success. Her wisdom is not prescriptive but offers a lens through which we can navigate our own paths to fulfillment. Join us in this engaging conversation as Emma Gannon shares her unique insights, providing a fresh perspective on success and happiness. It's a discussion that will leave you pondering and, perhaps, viewing success through a different lens.

On today’s podcast we will be speaking about life after death with the most wonderful author, healer, counsellor and spiritual midwife, Mariel Forde Clarke. Mariel has dedicated much of her life to helping people rethink the end of life and supporting their transition from the physical to the non-physical. Mariel’s interest in the afterlife stemmed from her own near death experience when she was pronounced ‘dead’ on the operating table and that was when her perspective on life totally changed. 

In her book, Whereafter: Where do our loved ones go after they die?, Mariel weaves the science and the spiritual to create a beautiful, heavily researched book that soothes the soul by sharing a possibility of what happens after we depart from reality as we know it. Mariel was a self confessed sceptic before her own experience but now she is here to guide us and help thousands of people realise that when physical life ends, the love that was shared was eternal, and that love never dies.

On today’s podcast I speak to the global, spiritual teacher Monica Berg who is the author of some of my favourite books including Fear is not an option and the book we are going to be speaking about today, Rethink Love. Throughout Monica’s work she shows individuals how to create a life in which they are living and loving as the most powerful and fulfilled person they’ve always wanted to be. 

Her books combine her many years of Kabbalistic study with her own personal life experiences. She battled and overcame a debilitating eating disorder at a young age and as a mother of four children, one of whom has special needs, she has become an outspoken advocate for him and others struggling to find their voice. 

Monica and her husband co-host The Spiritually Hungry podcast which is truly brilliant. She also serves as Chief Communications Officer of The Kabbalah Centre International. Monica’s book on love is a highlighter at the ready book. Love is something which is confusing me lately as I’m only just beginning to understand the full extent of what that word really means. It’s far from what Disney told me many years ago. It’s a true honour to have such a profound spiritual thought leader on the show today.

Today I have Ian Washington-Smith on the podcast and wow are you guys in for an extra special episode! I recently spent a weekend with Ian who taught me some of the most mind-blowing lessons on mental health, beliefs and behaviour change and I can’t wait for you guys to get a taste of what I’ve been learning. Ian is one of the most fascinating people I’ve ever met, he’s a former police manager who ran operations and intelligence management, corruption, prevention and covert investigation. He then went on to found organisations such as the Thames Valley Black Police Association Cognitive Coaching and most recently Mindsmith Thinking. Ian supports individuals and organisations to change by adapting their thinking towards issues such as individual potential, people productivity, diversity and leadership. 

Through his work he is able to unlock inner gifts within people. Ian’s approach is profound, it’s different and it takes inspiration from so much of the history of psychology. It is some of the greatest teachings and I hope every single person can learn from someone like Ian.

Today’s interview is with a very special guest, Dr Rosemary Mazanet who is one of the world’s leading medical advisors and researchers. Among the many boards she is on, Dr Rosemary is a Charter Trustee at the University of Pennsylvania Health System and is the Co-Chair of the Leonard Davis Institute Executive Advisory Board at Wharton. 

In today’s episode, we are going to really dig deep behind the truth and the history of CBD. CBD burst onto the wellness scene in about 2018 in a massive way and it brought a lot of confusion with it. Does CBD work? What should or shouldn’t it be used for? Dr Rosemary is the Chief Science Officer at Columbia Care and one of the most exciting global experts on the subject. It is a huge honour to welcome Dr Rosemary on the podcast to really look into the why’s, the what’s and the research behind CBD as we know it. Trust me, this episode is mind-blowing!

I have been so looking forward to interviewing a woman who has been pioneering deep healing for nearly thirty years. Fiona Arrigo is a senior biodynamic psychotherapist who has spent a lifetime studying ancient teachings from many cultures and created the well known Arrigo Programme which has helped thousands of people on their journey to healing and becoming whole.

Fiona Arrigo and The Arrigo Programme have become the epitome of deep therapeutic care. Launching Britain’s first alternative health retreat, Stop the World, back in 1990, Fiona’s approach to healing modalities has never been more relevant or needed than today. Fiona has the ability to draw people together, allowing them to express and understand themselves. She helps pave the way for others to experience a deeper connection with their inner essence, wisdom and the joy which is always there if only we can access it. Her mentoring and guidance are transformative for those who are intent on reaching a place of greater peace. Fiona hosts both individual and group retreats in the UK and globally which we speak about in more detail in this episode.

Her podcast throughout lockdown was so reassuring and I eagerly listen to it each week to hear Fiona’s guidance and wisdom. Her meditations are also wonderful so I recommend you try those out too. It is a true honour to have such an experienced healer with us today on the Not Perfect Podcast.

In today’s podcast I am joined by Natasha Lunn, the features director at RED magazine and the creator of a popular and acclaimed email newsletter, Conversations on Love. Her first book, Conversations on Love, was published in July and went straight into the Sunday Times top ten bestseller list.

Natasha Lunn’s work is some of the most important work being done and it is all centred around teaching us about LOVE. I opened her book and on the first page in black and white, Natasha explains that none of us talk about love and yet still expect to be an expert at it. 

I don’t think I realised how complicated my relationship with love had become over years of bruising and I’m sure many of you might relate. After years of feeling that love was always out of reach, journalist Natasha Lunn set out to understand how relationships work and evolve over a lifetime. She turned to authors and experts to learn about their experiences as well as drawing on her own asking: ‘How do we find love?’, ‘How do we survive when we lose it?’. It is an honour to have Natasha, the author of the Sunday Times bestselling book, Conversations on Love on today’s podcast.

Today I am joined by Professor John Aitken, who is a global leader in reproductive biology with over four decades of dedicated work. John has made groundbreaking discoveries that have revolutionised our understanding of male infertility and paved the way for innovative treatments. He's the author of The Infertility Trap that looks at the long term consequences of declining fertility globally. I read his book earlier this year and was shocked as I turned the pages. Never did I dream that birth rates dropping would be a serious problem, as I just assumed we were overpopulated as it was. John's research opened my eyes to a very real challenge we face, which is how are declining fertility and lifestyle choices will affect us all long term. And why? A very important conversation around this has to happen sooner rather than later if we want to change the direction.

This interview with John was possibly one of the most eye opening chats I've ever had because it speaks to the future in a very personal way, but also macro way. I think it reminds us that we truly are a species that deeply relies on each other. We are so interconnected and the subject of fertility and reproduction does feel very spiritual in many ways and also links in with the psychological links in with our behavior. It's just a very human topic. So I hope you are enjoying this content that feels slightly different from the normal programming on the Unwind podcast. But I wanted to open up to share some of my own personal curiosity at the moment, and I hope you're following the journey and enjoying it too.

Welcome to Season 9 of the Not Perfect Podcast! It is a total honour to kick off the series with one of the most successful motivational speakers of all time on today’s podcast. Mel Robbins has been a go to for me in some of my lowest and highest moments. Mel coaches more than 60 million people online every month and her videos have had over a billion views. Her groundbreaking work on behaviour change has been translated into 36 languages. 

Today we are going to be discussing her newest book, The High Five Habit which will be released later this month. The book is packed full of quotes that give you that ‘aha’ feeling. It’s full of research backed tools for you to change your mind, change your life and live your highest, most empowered, full of love existence. Mel explains that everyone should wake up in the morning and give themselves a high five as it stimulates the nervous system, giving you a jilt of energy and your brain a drip of dopamine which can lift your mood. Mel explains it in the simplest and most relatable way so it's a real honour to have such a world leader on today’s podcast. 

*Trigger Warning* - sensitive topics are discussed in this episode like sexual assault at the beginning of the podcast.

I am joined today by a long term friend of mine, Genelle Aldred. Genelle is a former ITV and BBC journalist and the founder of communications consultancy GA\C. She is now a published author and has written a book we all need to read. It’s called Communicate for Change: Creating justice in a world of bias and it explores the missing nuisance to our conversation in the public arena at this moment in time. It’s a thought provoking book that unpacks the tribalism we see in our culture and presents a new way forward, a far more harmonious way, a way that appreciates all individuals and is a guide book to how we get there.

If we want to make a positive difference, we have to know how to recognise our own biases and blind spots - only then can we understand how to be part of the solution and start having meaningful conversations. Genelle offers suggestions to help us be better listeners, readers, watchers and talkers. She breaks down the barriers to effective conversation so that we can disagree in a more nuanced and thoughtful way and stop singular narratives driving our conversation.

This was such a fascinating conversation and I'm thrilled she's shone a light on a topic that is so relevant. I can't wait for you all to hear it!

My guest this week is Dan Murray-Serter. Dan is a serial entrepreneur, the co-founder of a brain care company called Heights and the host of the UK’s number one business podcast, Secret Leaders.

Dan’s journey actually began from his own struggles with mental health: trying to solve his chronic anxiety and six-month-long insomnia. He tried everything from self-medicating with alcohol, without alcohol, saw a therapist, a doctor but to no avail. But when a friend asked whether he had considered his brain’s nutrition as a cause, he decided to see a dietitian. He found out that he didn’t have key nutrients needed for his brain and she recommended high quality supplements. His sleep dramatically improved.

Dan’s life is now focused on how he can improve brain care and he has created the ‘Smart Supplement’ to help others on the same journey and teach them about how to feed the brain for it to thrive.

This week my guest is someone who is totally extraordinary and her energy fills an entire space with such positivity and empowerment. Tai Beauchamp is a motivational speaker, media personality, meditation leader, writer, entrepreneur, philanthropist and soon to be author. In the past year she set up morning mindset with Tai and has thousands tuning in several times a week to upgrade their minds in the mornings and it is honestly so refreshing. 

Today we dive into her wisdom and Tai explains why a morning routine is so important. She discusses the tools you need to create a great morning and what thoughts to consciously bring into your mind. She explains that so many of us are jumping up into our day and not preparing our heart and spirit to expect, desire and design great things. She believes that the way you start and the way you begin is half the win. It's all about being in the right headspace to get what we want and clear as to what actions we want to take.

I also wanted to let you all know that I'm taking a short summer break from the podcast but I will be back with some more fantastic guests in September!

Today’s interview is with a pioneering thinker who is on a huge mission to make 1 billion people happier. Mo Gawdat is the international bestselling author of the book, Solve for Happy and the host of the extremely popular podcast Slo Mo. Mo started his working life as an engineer and then took on the role of Chief Business Officer at Google X. I love the way Mo’s mind works because he marries the science and the logic with the spiritual. Mo does this excellently and with so much ease and harmony that after hearing him speak or reading his work, you leave with a sense of order and calm within. 

Mo’s latest book, Scary Smart, is another hit in the making. I’m not sure if you know much about artificial intelligence and the world of robots but this book explores what is waiting for us in the future. Mo explains its 100% fact that robots are in our future but explores how this will affect us, our mental health and the way we live. And asks the question - what can we do about it now? This book is a wake up call, a call to action, a mirror to the way we live now and an invitation to raise our game as humans to ensure that the AI algorithms that are learning from our behaviour start to prioritise kindness. So I hope you enjoy this insightful, fascinating conversation about robots, AI, our mental health, kindness, compassion and where our responsibility lies. 

Scary Smart is out in September, please pre-order your copy now as you can enter a really exciting competition.

He truly has pioneered a movement and changed the lives of millions worldwide.

In this episode, we talk about why the brain is good at survival but not so great at happiness.

Today’s guest is a huge inspiration of mine and her research has been incredibly influential for my work. I mention her throughout my book so to have Kristin Neff as a guest on the show is a true honour.

Kristin Neff has pioneered the field of self-compassion research for almost 20 years. She has developed a training program called Mindful Self-Compassion and authored best-selling books such as Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself. Her work has changed millions of lives and has proven that being kind to ourselves can improve our health, relationships and set us up for a truly successful life. In today’s interview, we dive in to her latest book, Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive and unlock Kirsten’s learnings around the power behind self-compassion. 

We talk about the benefits of self-compassion and how we need to develop both its fierce and tender side. We discuss how women have been discouraged from developing their fierceness as part of their true nature and how Kristin encourages women to reclaim the powerful side of kindness in order to find lasting happiness and bring about social change. 

I know it can be the hardest thing to be kind to ourselves, and we can get easily caught up in our inner critic telling us all the things we should be worried about but Kristin’s work shows us how dialling down that voice and turning up the volume of compassionate thoughts can be truly life-changing. It’s a skill we all need to learn and Kristin shows us how.

Today’s guest is Dr Andrew Morrice. Dr Andrew has spent decades as a GP doctor working for the NHS in England but 15 years ago he decided to start learning about the Human Givens approach alongside his clinical practice. Human Givens approach is a therapy that takes a truly bio-psycho-social approach towards emotional and mental wellbeing. 

I first learnt about Human Givens from my mother who studied the approach too and I honestly think it’s one of the best frameworks to understanding our emotional needs as humans. In this episode we dive into the brain and body connection and we discuss why physical factors can create emotional and mental challenges and why a lot of advice about health is contradictory and distorted by vested interests. Dr Andrew sifts the sense from the nonsense making it easier to think clearly about how our brain and body work together. 

He runs fascinating day courses which are jam packed full of learning and I couldn’t recommend them more. As Maya Angelou said - “when you know better, do better” and I don’t think you could find a more inspirational teacher than Andrew. I hope you enjoy this episode!

Do you ever have turning points in the month where you feel ready to conquer the world on one day, but the very next day you feel like you can’t achieve anything? If the answer is yes, then you will be fascinated by my guest today. Amy Thomson is a tech founder, entrepreneur, author and all round wonder woman and expert on all things hormones. It always amazes me how much we don’t know about the fundamental mechanisms that go on inside our bodies every day, especially when they affect our mood, health and wellbeing so significantly. Amy has dedicated her life to helping us understand our hormones better, she has built an app Moody and just released her new brilliant book of the same name, Moody: a woman’s 21st century hormone guide. 

In this episode, Amy shares the research and science behind how our hormones work for twenty-first-century survival, how understanding them can help you build better and healthier routines, and why the systems and cycles inside us are an invisible but powerful force.

We discuss why we need to start thinking about health and wellbeing from the perspective of a female experience because women’s bodies are different to men’s, what happens to our hormones when we fall in love and the impact that the contraceptive pill can have on our bodies.

This week I am speaking to Jeff Kahn, one of the world’s leading sleep specialists. He is the co-founder and CEO at Rise Science and was one of the first to publish research on technology enabled sleep behaviour modification over a decade ago. He has recently completed the largest known study on sleep and real world job performance which I find deeply fascinating and something that is not spoken about enough. Jeff’s research and work has been read by millions and he continues to empower people to live healthier and more successful lives through better sleep and circadian health.

His incredible company could not be more relevant today. The app essentially helps you make behaviour modifications all-around sleep. Jeff believes lack of quality sleep may be the most under appreciated health concern in society, and his company is working to change that through sleep behaviour modification. In this episode, we discuss how sleep is the fibre of what it means to be human and how it has the power to affect our diet, our emotional health, our ability to exercise and even our vocal tone! 

Jeff explains that the two things you should care about are sleep debt and circadian rhythm. He encourages us to monitor our total sleep debt over time to get an accurate picture of your sleep need. He also suggests we strategise our day around the day’s dips and peaks - scheduling tasks that require more concentration around our peaks and more passive tasks around our dips. His app Rise Science helps you track sleep, know your energy schedule, measure your sleep debt - allowing people to keep their circadian rhythms and sleep debt at the forefront of their minds. 

I learnt so much from this conversation and it is definitely worth a listen if you struggle with sleep or if you’re in need of a bedtime routine. Sweet dreams!

It is a total honour to have Ann Louise Gittleman on today’s show. Ann is a top nutritionist and author who is internationally recognised as a pioneer in dietary, longevity, environmental and women’s health issues. Ann was talking about wellbeing before anyone even knew what it meant and at the age of 70, she is still making waves in the health and wellness industry. Ann is an award-winning New York Times bestselling author of over 35 books and has recently added to her collection with her latest book, Radical Longevity. 

Her new book depicts a new view of ageing - one that defies conventional wisdom and redefines the ageing process with resilience, vitality and grace for cellular regeneration. The topic of ageing is important for every age as all of us should practicing healthy ageing habits and techniques to ensure we support our health for as long as possible. 

Ann does just that and this episode is brimming with information. We discuss why epigenetics are so important when thinking of the longevity of our health, how our body stores trauma and how our bodies are continuously being betrayed by the toxicity of our environment. Ann provides tips on how we can fortify the glands and ward off radiation with certain foods and supplements. While she’s extremely conscious of everything she consumes, she leads a very balanced diet and even encourages people to drink coffee (the purest kind) and indulge in a glass of wine or two! I am very happy to take that advice on board. 

Her book is eye-opening and while you may never look at foods in the same way, Ann is proof that her lifestyle will keep you young and healthy for a very long time!

Today’s guest is someone I wish I’d discovered years ago, Cal Newport. Cal is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University and the author of seven books. His New York bestseller, Deep Work, Digital Minimalism is what led him to write his latest book, A World Without Email.

Can you imagine what our life would be like without emails? By 2019 the average person checks their emails 75 times a day and the average worker sends 126 emails per day - that is one every four minutes. Don’t be too alarmed though, Cal Newport is here to provide us with practical solutions for learning to live with email successfully rather than have it destroy our working patterns. 

In this episode, we talk about the destructive nature of social snacking and how unhealthy our digital habits have become. We discuss how it plays into our dopamine response and how it’s encouraging us to become addicted to tech. However, what Cal explains is that the issue is not the content itself but the way that we use tech as a distraction mechanism. The truth is that the more we rely on technology, the more it is affecting our brain health. 

However, it’s not all doom and gloom. Cal talks us through the ways in which we can be more disciplined with communication. He provides us with a number of practical solutions for tackling email exhaustion, email etiquette, how to improve processes that aid performance and how to inform others about your new way of managing email. 

It won’t come as a surprise that you won’t be able to find him on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram but you can visit his website calnewport.com and read some of his fantastic essays.
