January 13, 2025 # 479 - Are you eating your way to dementia ?
50 million people suffer with dementia today, that figure will triple in the coming 20 years. While genetics does play a role, lifestyle and behaviours such as the foods we eat are a siginificant contributor to whether we become a dementa patient or not.
I examine the role food plays in our potential to acquire dementia. Plus I look at the foods that accelerate the likelihood of us suffering cognitive decline, and contrast these against brain boosting foods.
I also show the association between insulin resistance and the most common form of dementia, alzheimers disease.

January 09, 2025 # 478 - Mindfulness : live your best life - Prof Ellen Langer
Prof Langer's book : https://amzn.to/3WW7UPg
Prof Ellen Langer also known as the Mother of Mindfulness, became the first woman to receive tenure in psychology at Harvard University, she has spent the last forty-five-years researching mindlessness and mindfulness. She has published hundreds of articles and numerous bestselling books including her latest, The Mindful body. Her research and books focus on the illusion of control, mindful aging, health, stress and decision-making.
She is very much a believer in the idea that the mind and body are unified and not separate as has been the conventionally accepted concept underpinning western medicine.
In this episode Prof Langer determines what she means when she uses the term mindfulness and how it differs from the concept that many people believe it to be.
We hear what prompted her to study mindfulness in the first place.
Throughout the interview Prof Langer gives examples of the groundbreaking research she has performed, including the famous Counterclockwise study which looked at what effects turning back the clock psychologically would have on an older adult's physiological state.
We talk about the power of mindset, perception and we hear about the impact mindset had on the physiology of chambermaids.
Expect to learn why Professor Langer believes the mind and body are one entity.
We hear about mindlessness and learn Professor Langer's thoughts on probability, the pointlessness of making predictions and how best to make decisions.
Professor Ellen Langer is a titan in the field of psychology, I was so honoured to have her on the podcast, I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I did.

January 02, 2025 # 476 - Weightloss secrets for the new year - Dr Morgan Nolte
Today I welcome back clinical specialist Dr Morgan Nolte, in this episode we talk abouthow to achieve your weightloss goal. In reality the mindset needed to achieve a weightloss goal is the same as the mindset needed to achieve any goal.
Crucially we explore the mindset that we need in order to achieve any goal including weight management goals.
Discover the habits needed to bring about sustainable behaviour change such as committing to a goal, embracing discomfort, tracking activities, and controlling the controllables and engaging in what is called autosuggestion, and if that term is new, guess what you're already engaging in autosuggestion when it comes to your negative habits.
This is a masterclass in how to attain any goal. Dr Nolte spells out exactly how to go about achieving an aim from moment to moment and day to day.
I guarantee you'll get lots out of this episode especially if you have struggled in the past with turning things around whatever your goal has been.

December 19, 2024 #472 - Women MUST lift weights for optimum HEALTH - Dr Stacy Sims
Dr Sims books: https://amzn.to/3VH0w8E
Dr Stacy Sims is a physiologist who specialises in women's fitness, performance, nutrition and hormone related health. This seems ridiculous given the fact that women make up about 50% of the global population, but the vast majority of scientific data we have has been derived by studying only men, which means theres a glaring lack of science-based information thats specific to women. And this often means women are doing the wrong training, eating the wrong food, not reaching their full potential, and/or often suffering unnecessary discomfort and pain. Dr Sims' mission is to redress that imbalance.
In this episode we talk about how body temperature is a factor in women's health and performance.
We learn what exercises women should be doing and what nutrition they should be consuming.
Should women be taking cold plunges ?
We discover how resistance training can help offset cognitive decline.
We learn how women in peri menopause are in a state of sympathetic drive and what this means for their health and performance.
Expect to learn of the value of interval training.
Discover that women in their 20s and 30s can positively influence their personal experience of the peri-menopause and menopause years ahead of time.
Plus, we find out how women can reframe how they perceive weight training, consumption of protein and the gym space that is ususally a male dominated arena.
