For most of medical history, in the West at least, the idea that there could be a relationship between the mind and the immune system was inconceivable. 
At medical school, I was taught that there is no relationship whatsoever between our mindset and our ability to stave off infections like viruses, colds and even reduce our susceptibility to cancer.
But that is now thought to be completely incorrect. In fact there is a clear relationship between our emotions, our microbes and our immune systems.
To talk about this with me today is Dr Monty Lyman. A medical doctor, researcher and author who specializes in the relationship between the mind and the immune system. He is an Academic Clinical Fellow at the University of Oxford and in todays podcast we talk about: 
How irritable bowel relates to an ‘irritable mind’Gut Rehabilitation and what that entailsThe relationship between the mind, body and microbesWhy psychological stress causes inflammation in the bodyHow an anti-inflammatory lifestyle can heal both the mind and body by recalibrating an unbalanced defence system

Today’s snacksize Doctor’s Kitchen podcast is all about framing happiness so you can experience more positivity day to day.
Taken from the full episode #100 Four Lifestyle Equations Everyone needs to know, where I talk about a selection of formulas that I try and put into practice each day.
Mo Gawdat first talked to us about this equation back on episode #91 Solving Happiness, which is one of my favourite episodes to date.


Snacksize 15: What is The Happiness Equation?

A number of lifestyle related illnesses have uncontrolled inflammation at its core. Whether that’s obesity, heart disease or even dementia, inflammation appears to play a role.
I’ve done a free mini-series on inflammation that you can find on my newsletter, where I talk about the big drivers of inflammation (namely gut health, exercise, sleep and mindset) and we’ve done a number of episodes on inflammation on the podcast to determine what it is and why we’d all be better reducing it. And on todays podcast I wanted to zoom in on spices in particular.
These are by no means the only spices with inflammation reducing potential, but possibly the ones I used most commonly and are likely to have the biggest evidence base.
Ginger, Turmeric and Cinnamon are my go to and I get at least one of these spices in my diet daily.

Today’s snacksize Doctor’s Kitchen podcast is about the rise of allergies in both adults & children globally taken from episode #101 Ending Food Allergy with Professor Kari Nadeau.
Have you noticed the rapid rise in childhood food allergies? Peanuts, dairy, wheat, egg. All of these appear so commonly removed from children’s diets in schools and it’s not just children that are suffering. But why? On the full podcast 
Kari Nadeau is Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics and for more than 30 years, she has devoted herself to understanding how environmental and genetic factors affect the risk of developing allergies and asthma, and the molecular mechanisms underlying these diseases.


Snacksize 14: What is the hygiene hypothesis?

Olive oil is a hot topic. We first dived into the benefits of olive oil back on episode 99 with Dr Simon, but I thought it was time for an update.
Today you’re going to learn about:
Why Olive oil is so healthy The evidence for Olive oils benefits How much Olive oil you should be consuming every day for benefits How to choose a quality Olive oil The minimum polyphenol content you need to look out for Whether “cold pressed” means anything Cheap and fake olive oils and whether they have any value
Dr Simon Poole is in the studio and on YouTube you can watch our taste test with 5 different olive oils. He shows me the techniques behind how to smell, taste and grade olive oils and how you can do this at home too!
Dr Simon is an internationally acclaimed expert in the mediterranean diet and lifestyle, and the nutrition of extra virgin olive oil. He has more than 30 years experience as a medical doctor, he’s a teacher and researcher in Cambridge, widely published in academic journals, and is author of award winning books including The Olive Oil Diet, The Real Mediterranean Diet, Diabetes for Dummies and Diabetes Nutrition for Dummies.
We also taste test his own olive oil called “Positively Good For You” that isn’t available for purchase at present, but watch this space because considering the flavour, quality and price of the oil, I expect to see it on shelves soon.
