Many people are living in chronic stress mode without realising it.

They feel tired but wired, their sleep becomes disrupted, digestion becomes sensitive, and small stresses start to feel overwhelming.

But often these symptoms are not random.

They are signals from the nervous system that the body has been in survival mode for too long.

In this episode of the SIX Hats Podcast, integrative GP Dr Shami explores 10 common signs that your body may be stuck in stress mode, and explains why recognising these signals is the first step toward restoring balance.

You’ll also learn a simple nervous system reset exercise you can try today.

If you recognise several of these signs, your body may simply be asking for more safety, rhythm and recovery.

ADHD affects both children and adults, yet many people feel they’re still not getting the full picture, especially when it comes to root causes and long-term brain health.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Ali Ajaz, a UK-based psychiatrist with specialist interests in Nutritional Psychiatry, Gut–Brain Health, and Functional Medicine. A graduate of Guy's, King's and St Thomas' School of Medicine, Dr Ajaz has over a decade of NHS experience in forensic psychiatry, alongside a strong academic background in research and medical education.

We discuss:

• The importance of assessing nutrients such as ferritin, iron, B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc
• How gut health, inflammation, sleep, and lifestyle factors can worsen or improve ADHD symptoms
• Why some patients experience profound improvements when nutrition and lifestyle are addressed alongside conventional care

This conversation is for anyone living with ADHD, parenting a child with ADHD, or wanting to understand how brain health, nutrition, and lifestyle truly intersect.

In this episode of SIX Hats, Dr Shami is joined by neuroscientist Cameron Allen, founder of Neuroprogeny, to explore why nervous system regulation may be the missing link in healing — especially for people who feel they’ve “tried everything.”

Together, they unpack:

• What nervous system regulation actually means (beyond breathwork and mindset)
• Why chronic stress and survival states are so common in modern life
• How learning safety in the body can unlock physical, emotional, and cognitive healing
• Why symptoms often persist when the nervous system remains dysregulated

This conversation is essential listening for anyone experiencing burnout, anxiety, chronic symptoms, or feeling stuck despite doing all the “right” things.

In this episode of Six Hats, Dr. Shami sits down with Dr. Brian Ang—ophthalmologist, nutritional medicine advocate, and founder of Nutravision.

Through his clinical work, he began connecting the dots between vision, inflammation, ageing, micronutrient status, and the brain—and discovered how profoundly nutrition shapes long-term eye and systemic health.

Today, Dr. Ang shares the story behind Nutravision, why he believes targeted supplementation is the next frontier for protecting the eyes, and how precision nutrition can slow degeneration, support cognition, and optimise wellbeing as we age.
