Have you ever been told by a doctor that it would help if you lost weight, did some exercise or eat a healthier diet? Usually that advice is not followed up with any practical advice on how to do those things. Well thankfully that is about to change. Nutritank was founded by two medical students Dr Ally Jaffee and Dr Iain Broadley who believed that nutrition and lifestyle medicine education in medical training was not adequate. They believed that they had a responsibility to their generation and future generations of doctors to make a change and that young people are in the ideal position to make that difference. By working with medical schools, nutrition and dietetic organisations around the UK, Nutritank has evolved into an innovative information hub of food, nutrition and lifestyle medicine. In this episode we discuss Dr Broadley's background and how he got into medicine. He shares openly about how he didn't have a great self care routine during his first time at university (he has two degrees!). This led to  a breakdown due to stress prior to his finals in the 3rd year. He bounced back through dedicating time to self-care This experience got him through medical school. It highlighted to him the importance of self-care and lifestyle, and as a medical student he asked himself the obvious question: "Why are we not teaching this to our doctors?" He shares his experience of how Nutritank has been influential in changing the curriculum at medical school across the UK to include nutrition and lifestyle education. I cannot stress how significant this is! Thanks to Nutritank our future generations will be provided with the tools and education of how to look after our physical and mental health which you cannot put a price on.

Making her second appearance on the podcast is my best friend Lakshmi Patel. Lakshmi and I sat down for a long overdue chat about her life post breast cancer. This is a deep conversation. We discuss everything from childhood trauma's that have shaped us both, Lakshmi talks about her spiritual journey through cancer and how it has lead her to find her true purpose. Lakshmi and I have known each other since we were 8 years old (that's 35 years - you do the math and work out our age!). There isn't another person alive that knows me as well as she does and I can say confidently that it's the same the other way around. Her story is incredible! If you haven't checked out our first conversation then the links are below! You're in for a real treat. A fly on the wall view of a long form conversation between two souls that have a deep connection. I am extremely grateful to have Lakshmi in my life.

To mark the 50th episode of the podcast I decided to step into the hot seat! It was during a casual conversation with my good friend Dr. Nilesh Satguru that the idea for this episode came about. After talking about my past he asked why I've never shared the story on the podcast! I could not think of a good reason why not so here we are! Luckily he agreed to take the role of interview for which I am very grateful. In this episode we go deep. Into my story, my journey, big life decisions and my path in happiness. I had an absolute blast recording the episode, nothing was scripted, we had no real agenda so what you hear is a fly on the wall documentary of a conversation between two friends. Thank you to all my previous guests for helping me get this far. I'm only scratching the surface and the evolution of the podcast has been amazing to experience. I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey so far and I intend to continue that way! I hope you enjoy the episode! You can watch the episode in full on YouTube!

However when you put the title Doctor in front of that person it changes the dynamic and perception, which of course it should not.

Dr. Orlena Kerek worked as a doctor in the UK and witnessed so many sick people in hospital dying of “lifestyle disease” that could have been prevented with a healthy lifestyle. Later she began her training in paediatrics. She saw so many children coming into her clinic with tummy ache because they were constipated and not eating a healthy diet. This opened her eyes to the fact that children develop eating and lifestyle habits at an early age. Once she became a mother she realised how difficult it can be to help our kids develop healthy eating habits. She moved away from clinical practice to help families establish healthy habits. In this episode we discuss habit change and Dr. Orlena reveals some easy tips that will help you with long term behaviour change.

Never has the time been right to start increasing your physical activity levels. The warmer days and longer evenings make it the perfect time to take long walks or go out for a run or a cycle.  We all know that physical activity is good for us. But do we know why? How much do we need to do in order for it to be effective? Personal trainers and gyms are not everyone's cup of tea, but what else can we do if that's the case? This week's guest is the perfect person to answer those plus many other questions! Dr. Joeseph Godden is a Foundation Year 2 Doctor who holds a BSc in Sports & Exercise Medicine, is a qualified Level 3 Personal Trainer and the founder of The Fit Life Doctor. He has a strong interest in physical activity, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine and its importance in the primary prevention of illness.". Very rarely do you come across a doctor who is also a qualified personal trainer so I was delighted when Joe agreed to come onto the podcast. It's great to see a new generation of medical professionals broadening their understanding of health, it will only strengthen the medical care we all receive. Dr. Joe was a pleasure to interview.

We are designed to move. We are designed to move freely, roam, walk, run, climb. The human body can move in so many different ways (just think of all the different events in the Olympics!). Many of us however have lost that connection with movement. Our modern sedentary lives have made us a slave to technology and convenience. One person who has not lost this connection is coach, personal trainer and friend, Phillip Elder. I met Phillip when I first entered into the fitness industry during my time in Dubai. The self confessed "careful trainer", Phil has always paid a great attention to detail when it comes to technique inside and outside the gym. In this episode we talk about his journey into fitness and the environment that helped him to create the identity. Now a father of two toddlers we go on to talk about how important it is to put the fun back into movement, particularly for the younger generation. He goes on to share some excellent ideas to keep children active and how he survived a strict lockdown in  Dubai whilst suffering from COVID-19. It was great catching up with Phil after so long. We left so much more on the table to discuss so I am sure there will be a part two around the corner....

It's the start of Mens Health Week which is about raising awareness about health issues that impact the male population. In the UK over 3 out of 4 suicides are by men and suicide is the biggest cause of death for men under 35 12.5% of men in the UK are suffering from mental health disorders. Men are nearly three times more likely than women to become alcohol dependent and are more likely to die from illegal drug use. Our social evolution has brought about terms like "man up"  and "boys don't cry" which has made it difficult for men to open up about mental health issues. In this episode I talk with Alex Manzi who is an author, coach, podcaster but above all a human soul, (who happens to be male!) who has experienced mental health ups and downs like the rest of us. He was kind enough to share his story of how he battled with depression in his 20's and his journey to a better state of being.
