You Never Know with Nicole Lee – Details, episodes & analysis

Could your anxiety, fatigue, or arthritis actually be coming from your gut?

In episode 27 of the You Never Know podcast, Nicole Lee sits down with functional medicine coach Jo Brownlow to explore the link between gut health, hormone balance, autoimmune conditions, and emotional well-being.

Jo shares her personal journey healing from Hashimoto’s disease, quitting alcohol, and transforming her son’s focus and neurodivergence through gut repair. They dive deep into the misunderstood symptoms of autoimmune disorders, and how stress, toxins, mold, food, and even botox, affect you.

💡 What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How functional medicine uncovers root causes, not just symptoms
• The surprising gut-hormone-anxiety connection
• Why 95% of serotonin, the happy neurotransmitter, is made in your gut
• The link between alcohol, inflammation, and autoimmune issues
• Perimenopause and thyroid healing
• Why over-exercising and under-resting depletes your body
• Jo’s story of healing her son’s brain fog and neurodivergence through diet

If you’ve been dismissed, overwhelmed, or just want to understand your body better—this one is for you.

Many investors obsess over numbers, charts, earnings, and market noise. But what if the real edge came from something far less obvious?

In this episode, I speak with Nirgunan Tiruchelvam — Head of Consumer and Internet at Aletheia Capital and author of Investing in the COVID Era — about seeing equity markets in a completely different way.

We dive into why strong financials don’t always mean a strong stock price, what coffee prices tell you about perceptions of value, and why gold and oil prices sometimes tell a different story when compared to their equities.

From Singapore’s quietly performing equity market to the rise of stablecoins, and how to cut through the noise when choosing a digital wealth platform, this is a conversation that might just change how you see investing.

Men don’t talk enough about the failure, burnout, or mental toll of running a business or leading in the workplace — but perhaps they should.

In this episode of You Never Know, Neil Patwardhan shares what it’s really like behind the scenes — from working in the corporate world at Dell and Accenture to becoming an “accidental founder,” and learning the sometimes-dark lessons of entrepreneurship.

Growing up as an immigrant kid in the U.S., Neil had to learn how to fit in, fail fast, and find his way out of deep loneliness — which allowed him to hone valuable skills in networking, leading to sales roles, including the one he has today as Chief Sales Officer APAC at Sinch.

We talk about sales as a life skill regardless of your role, the stigma in Asia around failure, and why vulnerability — especially for men — is often the missing piece in both business and life.

If you want to up your game in sales and networking, and you’re curious about what some men may be going through in business and in life, this episode is for you. I hope it reaches you exactly when you’re meant to find it.

Your voice is your personal brand. And your brand is your biggest asset. Not your knowledge. Not your picture-perfect image. Not even your business card.

In this episode of You Never Know, I sit down with Own Your Voice coach, speaker, and emcee, Rae Fung for a real conversation about what it means to find — and own — your voice.

From starting out as an emcee at 15, to navigating the raw hunger for validation, battling the complexities of unhealthy mentorship, and discovering the power of her inner and outer voice, Rae's journey is a strong reminder that personal branding isn’t something you build — it’s something you uncover from within.

What if winning awards doesn’t mean you’ve truly succeeded? What if purpose matters more than, and can even lead to, success?

In this episode I speak with Anser Aly, an award-winning "accidental marketer" who spent nearly two decades at Unilever leading campaigns at global brands — including three Cannes Lions wins.

But despite all the accolades, something was missing. And that something was purpose.

That was when Anser found his why, transitioned into learning and leadership development, and committed to helping others find theirs too.

Whether you’re winning on paper or wondering what’s next, this episode is your reminder that purpose is so much more than success — it leads to real success. I hope this inspires you and finds you exactly when you need it.
