Number 1: The 3 macronutrients of happiness and how to build them into your life | Professor Arthur Brooks
How do you become happier? Professor Arthur Brooks describes 3 “macronutrients” for a happier life: enjoyment, satisfaction and meaning. Rather than chasing positive feelings, the idea is to build more of each into our everyday lives. We get into some really practical ways to do this, including: • Why being bored is good for your brain • The three times to put your phone away each day • How to make your downtime more meaningful • How to find more meaning through love, awe and spirituality 👤 About today’s guest: Arthur Brooks is a professor at Vanderbilt University, a senior fellow at Harvard Business School, a New York Times bestselling author and a leading researcher on happiness and meaning. His latest book, The Meaning of Your Life, is out now. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of From Strength to Strength, it's an account of how the modern world sets us up to fail at finding meaning, and a plan for finding what you seek.

Number 2: A nutritionist’s guide to 30g of protein and over 10g of fibre in every meal | Dominique Ludwig

Number 3: 5 foods to lose fat, regulate your appetite and improve your metabolism without counting calories | Dr Federica Amati
What’s the healthiest way to lose weight and keep it off without counting calories? On paper, it sounds simple. But in a modern world of ultra-processed foods, clever marketing and disrupted hunger signals, it’s rarely that straightforward. And that’s why I think this is a conversation for everyone. Because learning to regulate your appetite is a health skill for all of us. It shapes your energy, your metabolic health, your gut and how you feel from one day to the next. 👉 I’m joined by Dr Federica Amati, PhD, a Medical Scientist and Registered Public Health Nutritionist with over 15 years of experience in research and clinical practice. We take a food-first approach to fat loss by focusing on key foods that improve satiety. And we get into a really important and often overlooked topic. What you need to know before, during and after taking GLP-1 weight loss medications. We talk about…Why ultra-processed foods drive overeatingThe benefits of quality fibre, protein and healthy fats Whether skipping breakfast is helpful and how small changes in meal timing can improve your metabolic healthHow to make weight loss sustainableHow to approach GLP-1 medications safely and effectively The Appetite Reset: How to Eat, Drink and Thrive Before, During and After GLP-1s by Dr Federica Amati. Release 25/06/26. (Penguin Michael Joseph, £25) And if you’re listening and wondering how to actually put this into practice day to day, that’s really the intention behind The Doctor’s Kitchen app. Every recipe is developed and tested in your London kitchen, with the pink fridge, to be high fibre, quality protein… and delicious!

Number 4: 5 signs of low fibre and how to eat 30g a day without getting bloated | Dr Emily Leeming
I’ve been talking a lot about healthy protein and sometimes it can feel like you have to pick a side. Protein or fibre. But for long-term health, you want both on your plate. The problem is, 96% of people still don’t hit the recommended daily fibre target. Even if you eat vegetables at every meal. A salad is brilliant for micronutrients and polyphenols, but alone it’s usually not enough to reach the 30g of fibre a day linked to better gut health, satiety, cholesterol and a lower risk of disease. But for a lot of people, trying to eat more fibre comes with one big problem… bloating. So today I’m joined by Dr Emily Leeming, former chef, registered dietitian, scientist at King’s College London and author of the new book ‘Fibre Power’, to break down how to increase fibre in a way that works for your gut. She brings a rare combination of ongoing research, clinical practice and love for food. We cover:Key signs you may not be eating enough fibreHow to eat 30g of fibre a day without bloatingHigh-fibre foods people often overlookThe difference between high and low FODMAP foodsWhether fibre supplements are worth itOne fibre habit to start today It’s a really practical episode and I hope it leaves you inspired to make a few tweaks to gently increase your fibre intake.

Number 5: 4 ways to ease bloating, constipation and improve your gut health beyond diet | Dr Rabia Topan
SHOW NOTES This episode is for anyone dealing with constipation, bloating, reflux, abdominal pain or IBS. And really, anyone who wants to protect their gut, reduce stress and feel better overall. When we think about gut health, we usually start with food… what to eat, what to cut out, which diet or supplement to try next. And while nutrition is foundational, there’s another side we don’t talk about enough: the constant conversation between your brain and your gut 🧠💬 My guest today is Dr Rabia Topan, an NHS consultant gastroenterologist and PhD researcher specialising in disorders of gut–brain interaction like IBS. She works at The Functional Gut Clinic with people who’ve often had “normal” tests for years, but very real symptoms. She’s also trained in cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy and yoga, bringing a practical, mind–body approach to gut health. We cover 👇 • Breathwork techniques and why slowing your breath to around 6 breaths per minute can shift you into “rest and digest” • What the gut–brain axis actually is • Simple daily movements and pelvic floor exercises to support gut function • Practical toilet training tips for children • How cognitive reframing and gut-directed hypnotherapy can ease bloating, constipation and IBS • One habit you can start today to calm your nervous system and support your gut every morning 🔗 Key links • Dr Rabia’s website with resources, yoga videos and more • Gut–brain hypnotherapy audio you can try at home Important disclaimer: The patient mentioned in this episode gave full consent for their story to be shared.
