How Psychedelics Change the Brain: MDMA, Psilocybin, Benefits & Risks | Dr. Rick Doblin
23 juli 2025 · 1 uur 16 min
Trigger Warning:
This episode includes discussion of trauma, suicide, abuse, and emotional processing in the context of psychedelic therapy. Please take care while listening. Viewer discretion is advised. Lees meerYou've been told psychedelics are poison.
That healing trauma requires years of talk therapy.
What if three sessions could change everything?
This week on Live Well Be Well, I sit down with Dr. Rick Doblin, who has spent 39 years fighting for something most people thought impossible: bringing psychedelics back into medicine. As the founder of MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies), Rick has dedicated his life to proving that MDMA isn't just a party drug. It's a revolutionary treatment for trauma that could change how we understand healing itself.
Rick doesn't just speak about psychedelics as science or policy. He's lived them, studied them, and helped thousands heal with them. His work isn't about escapism. It's about going deeper. Into the body. Into memory. Into parts of ourselves we've long avoided. And then, through compassion and skilled integration, coming out the other side, changed.
We explore:
Rick's first psychedelic experience and what it taught him about interconnectedness
How MDMA works in the brain to reduce fear and increase compassionWhy MDMA may be the most effective tool we have for PTSD
The three-phase therapy protocol and why context matters more than the drug itself
What went wrong with FDA approval and why Rick believes approval is inevitable
The difference between a "bad trip" and a meaningful one
Why people with the most difficult childhoods often show the greatest improvement with MDMA therapy
How patients develop empathy (not forgiveness, but understanding) for their perpetrators
Your trauma doesn't define you. But learning to hold it with compassion might just set you free.
Love,
Sarah Ann 💛

No One Talks About This: How a Woman’s Brain Changes Through Every Life Stage | Dr. Sarah Mckay
16 juli 2025 · 1 uur 16 min
You've been told your hormones make you irrational.That menopause means cognitive decline, your emotions are just chemistry gone wrong, and your brain is simply too complicated to understand.Science says otherwise. Lees meer
This week's guest, Dr. Sarah McKay, is a neuroscientist, author, and brain health expert who's spent her career dismantling the myths we've been told about women's brains. From the idea that we're slaves to our hormones to the fear that menopause means inevitable decline, Sarah brings data, nuance, and hope to conversations that have been shaped by outdated stereotypes for far too long.
We explore:
Why male and female brains are more similar than different, and how cultural context shapes the differences we do see
The surprising truth about PMS: how rates vary from 12% in France to 90% in Iran
Why the stereotype that women are "more emotional" isn't backed by science
How your brain actually changes during menopause
The real relationship between hormones, sleep, and brain fog
Why early puberty affects girls and boys so differently
What brain networks do when estrogen declines
The truth about HRT and brain health: what the data actually shows
How expectations and cultural narratives create the experiences we have
Sarah doesn't dismiss women's struggles or minimize real symptoms. Instead, she offers something more powerful: the understanding that our brains are not broken, fragile, or at the mercy of our biology. They're sophisticated, adaptive, and capable of remarkable reorganization throughout our lives.
This isn't about toxic positivity or dismissing genuine challenges. It's about recognizing that the stories we've been told about women's brains, that we're irrational, unstable, or declining, aren't just wrong. They're actively shaping our reality.
Love,
Sarah Ann 💛

Is Your Partner Wrecking Your Gut Health? And How Fibre Can Heal You | Dr. Emily Leeming
9 juli 2025 · 1 uur 10 min
Your gut isn't just about what you eat. Lees meer
It’s about how you live, love, feel, and breathe.
In this episode of Live Well Be Well, I sit down with Emily Leeming, PhD, gut-brain researcher at King's College London and registered nutritionist whose work bridges the gap between cutting-edge microbiome science and practical wellness, to uncover the hidden forces shaping your microbiome. We go far beyond food and supplements to explore how hormones, intimacy, stress, and human connection are quietly reshaping your gut health every single day.
Emily reveals why men and women have fundamentally different gut microbiomes, how a 10-second kiss transfers 80 million microbes between partners, and why stress, trauma, and even loneliness might impact your gut health more than any probiotic.
This isn't about achieving perfect gut health. It's about understanding that your microbiome is alive, responsive, and deeply interconnected with how you feel, relate, and move through the world.
In this conversation, we explore:
• Why men and women experience gut health differently
• How estrogen fluctuations and menopause alter women's gut diversity
• Why testosterone and sperm quality are linked to gut health in men
• The surprising ways sex and cohabitation change your microbiome
• How stress, loneliness, and trauma can shrink your microbiome
• The emerging connections between ADHD, autism, and gut-brain signaling
• Why breathwork is one of the most underrated tools for gut health
• The truth about commercial gut testing versus listening to your body
• What stool reveals that gut tests don’t
• The role of polyphenols, fibre & fermented foods in microbial diversity
• How gardening, touch, and community naturally diversify your microbes
You'll leave with a completely reframed understanding of gut health. One that honors the emotional, social, and hormonal dimensions of wellness alongside the nutritional ones.
Love,
Sarah Ann 💛

We explore how small changes like a single cup of greens or taking the first uncomfortable step can rewire the brain. This isn’t about hacks.

Dr. Zach Bush on Glyphosate, the Microbiome & What Modern Medicine Gets Wrong
2 juli 2025 · 53 min
⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of grief, trauma, death, childhood illness (including cancer), and environmental toxins. Listener discretion is advised — particularly for parents and caregivers of children affected by illness. Lees meer
If you’ve been navigating your health through routines, biohacks, or supplements but still feel disconnected, burnt out, or unwell, this conversation may shift everything.
True healing is rarely about control. And it’s almost never linear.
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Zach Bush, a triple board-certified physician in internal medicine, endocrinology, and hospice care, and founder of regenerative health company Farmer's Footprint, to rethink everything we’ve been told about medicine, longevity, and what it means to feel whole. Dr. Zach's research reveals how the human gut microbiome contains more biodiversity than any other ecosystem on Earth, including rainforests and coral reefs, and how this internal garden directly influences our capacity for creative thought, emotional resilience, and physical healing.
This isn’t just about symptoms or protocols. It’s about connection to nature, to others, and most of all, to yourself.
We explore how modern health has become more fragmented than ever, and why the root of healing might be much quieter, much simpler, and much more human than we’ve been led to believe. Dr. Zach explains how your body regenerates your entire gut lining every three days, why stress hormones function as internal antibiotics that destroy beneficial bacteria, and how forest bathing measurably shifts your nervous system from sympathetic overdrive to parasympathetic healing, which is why Japan now prescribes it as first-line treatment for depression.
Together, we explore:
• Why the body is always healing at rates we can barely comprehend, unless we get in the way
• How the gut’s biodiversity mirrors the richness of our inner and outer environments
• What real nourishment means (and why food pre…

How to Heal IBS, Improve Gut Health & Fix Digestive Issues
25 juni 2025 · 1 uur 2 min
If you've been managing IBS by avoiding certain foods but still experiencing unpredictable flare-ups, you're not alone. Emerging science shows that IBS is a complex condition involving multiple body systems: your nervous system, immune response, and gut microbiome all influence how and when symptoms appear. Lees meer
For something so physical, IBS is rarely just about the gut.
I created this IBS Masterclass podcast episode to help you finally understand what's really driving your symptoms. And it's not just about food. Stress, sleep, movement, and even your gut-brain connection can all play a role in making IBS worse.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS, affects nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide, yet it's still so often dismissed as "just a sensitive gut." The reality? IBS sits in that quiet, complicated space between physical and emotional. And we don't need more elimination diets or shame. We need understanding, compassion, and space to heal.
To give you the clearest answers, I've brought together the world's leading gut health experts:
Dr. Will Bulsiewicz – gastroenterologist and NYT bestselling author of Fiber Fueled, helping us understand the role of fiber, fermentation, and plant diversity in long-term digestive health
Dr. James Kinross – colorectal surgeon and author of Dark Matter, exploring how gut bacteria influence inflammation, immunity, and disease risk
Dr. Emeran Mayer – gastroenterologist & neuroscientist, author of The Mind-Gut-Immune Connection, bringing over four decades of research into how emotions, microbes, and immunity shape the IBS experience
Professor Felice Jacka – Director of the Food & Mood Centre at Deakin University, pioneer in nutritional psychiatry, uncovering how food and mental health are deeply connected through the gut
We explore:
• How stress and trauma shape gut-brain signalling
• Why the vagus nerve is a key player in digestion
• The misunderstood link between emotional health and IBS
• Whether FODMAP diets help or simply mask d…

The Truth About Ozempic, Weight Loss & Food Addiction | Dr. David Kessler, Former FDA Commissioner
18 juni 2025 · 56 min
Food addiction isn't about willpower. Lees meer
It’s about biology.
This week’s guest, Dr. David A. Kessler, pulls back the curtain on GLP-1 drugs, the medications everyone's talking about but few truly understand. As a former FDA Commissioner, bestselling author of Diet, Drugs, and Dopamine, and someone who has personally used Ozempic, Dr. David reveals what pharmaceutical companies aren't telling you about how they actually work.
David shares his own journey with GLP-1 medications, the science behind why they're so effective, and the critical conversations we're not having about safety, proper use, and what happens when you stop taking them.
Through science, candor, and vulnerability, he explains:
Why food addiction is real, and how it rewires the reward circuits of the brain
How GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are changing the conversation about obesity and self-blame
Why “just eat less” doesn’t work… and never did
How visceral fat creates an invisible storm of inflammation, starting in childhood
And what it means to actually change your relationship with food for good
Dr Kessler doesn’t offer a magic solution. He offers tools: from nutritional rewiring to behavioral insight, from emotional honesty to policy change.
Ultimately, he reminds us that health isn’t about being perfect. It’s about understanding what drives us, learning how to interrupt the cycle, and reclaiming agency in a world designed to overwhelm it.
Real healing isn’t about restriction. It’s about relief.
It’s not about weight. It’s about freedom.
Love,
Sarah Ann 💛

How to Heal Shame & Find Your True Self with IFS Therapy | Sarah Jones
11 juni 2025 · 53 min
Healing doesn’t come from fixing yourself. Lees meer
It comes from understanding yourself.
Not just the polished parts but the scared ones, the striving ones, the parts we hide to survive.
This week’s guest, Sarah Jones, is a storyteller, artist, and activist known for her fearless exploration of identity. But this conversation isn’t just about identity in the outer world, it’s about the stories we carry inside, and the compassion it takes to hold them with care.
Raised in a racially and culturally mixed household, Sarah unpacks what it means to belong to many worlds and sometimes feel at home in none. Through humor, vulnerability, and incredible emotional depth, she shares how the practice of Internal Family Systems (IFS) helped her name, understand, and begin to heal her inner landscape.
We explore:
Why perfectionism is often just pain in disguise
What it means to live with “multiple parts” and how to listen to them
The link between emotional safety and self-worth
How addiction, self-abandonment, and survival can mask our basic goodness
And the healing power of play, creativity, and radical curiosity
Sarah reminds us that real self-love isn’t about declarations it’s about attention. Tending to the parts of us that didn’t get to speak, and learning to meet them with kindness.
Love,
Sarah Ann 💛

Mastering Women’s Health: Protein, Hormones, Sleep, Brain Health and Strength Training | Sarah Macklin
4 juni 2025 · 1 uur 4 min
We’re not taught how to train for our cycle. Lees meer
We’re not taught how to eat for our hormones.
We’re not taught how our brains change - through menopause, pregnancy, or even monthly shifts.
But we should be.
This week’s episode is a powerful roundtable of experts who are rewriting the script on women’s health - not with trends, but with evidence, nuance, and real-life wisdom. Because the truth is, we don’t need more restriction or more hustle. We need education. Compassion. And space to evolve.
In this masterclass conversation, I’m joined by some of the world’s leading minds on women’s performance, pelvic health, nutrition, and cognition - including:
Dr. Stacy Sims – exercise physiologist, menopause educator, and voice behind “Women Are Not Small Men”
Kate Tolo – strength and conditioning coach bridging mindset and movement
Dr. Rena Malik – urologist and pelvic health expert breaking taboos with clarity
Drs. Ayesha & Dean Sherzai – neurologists on a mission to end Alzheimer’s and promote brain resilience
We explore:
The biggest misconceptions about protein and training for women
Why Zone 2 cardio and strength work are non-negotiables

How AI is Revolutionizing Medicine | The Doctor Who Saved Himself With AI | Dr. David Fajgenbaum
28 mei 2025 · 54 min
There are defining moments that split your life into before and after. Moments when everything you thought you knew gets stripped away, leaving only what truly matters. For Dr. David Fajgenbaum, that moment came not once, but five times, each bringing him closer to death and, paradoxically, teaching him how to live. Lees meer
This week's episode explores what happens when the system fails you and you refuse to accept failure. When David was diagnosed with Castleman disease at 25, a rare condition where your immune system turns against your own body, traditional medicine reached its limits. But David didn't. Instead of surrendering, he became both patient and researcher, ultimately discovering the treatment that would save not just his life, but potentially thousands of others.
In our conversation, David reveals the mindset shifts that kept him fighting when hope felt impossible, how AI is revolutionizing our approach to drug discovery, and why the cure for your condition might already exist in a pharmacy right now. His story challenges everything we think we know about medicine, healing, and what's possible when you refuse to take no for an answer.
What struck me most about our conversation wasn't just David's survival story, but how he turned personal crisis into a mission that's reshaping medicine. His ability to stay curious even when doctors said there was nothing left to try, and his belief that the answers we need might already exist, just waiting to be discovered. David showed me that breakthrough thinking isn't always about creating something new, but seeing what's already there differently.
About Dr. David Fajgenbaum:
Dr. David Fajgenbaum is a physician-scientist, bestselling author of Chasing My Cure, and co-founder of Every Cure, a nonprofit on a mission to unlock the full potential of every approved drug to treat every disease it possibly can. Recently named to TIME's 100 Health list for 2025, he's revolutionising medical research by repurposing existing dru…

Why Women Feel Shame Talking About Work Vs Motherhood | Dr. Jessica Zucker
21 mei 2025 · 1 uur 5 min
This week on Live Well Be Well, I got to sit down with the incredible Dr. Jessica Zucker, psychologist, writer, and fierce advocate for women’s reproductive and mental health. We dove into some of the hardest stories we rarely talk about, the pressure to become a mother, the quiet weight of miscarriage, and that strange guilt that can come with ambivalence about parenthood. Jessica’s wisdom on how our cultural scripts shape our inner lives is breathtaking and a much needed reminder that sharing our truths is how we heal. Lees meer
We peel back attachment theory in real life, exploring how our earliest bonds echo through every relationship we have and why rewriting those old narratives can be our greatest act of self love. Jessica does not shy away from the emotional labor we carry, the hidden tears, the unspoken hopes, and the ways we hold ourselves back from speaking up. This is not just theory, it is a heartfelt guide to giving voice to the parts of ourselves we have been taught to silence.
By the end of our chat you will see why honesty is revolutionary, why compassion for yourself changes everything, and what courage really looks like in the messy middle of life. If you have ever felt alone in your doubts or stifled by expectations this episode is for you.
About Dr. Jessica Zucker:
Dr. Jessica Zucker is a renowned psychologist, writer, and advocate specialising in women’s reproductive and maternal mental health. Based in Los Angeles, she has spent over 15 years supporting women through the emotional complexities of fertility, miscarriage, and motherhood. Jessica is the author of the bestselling book I Had a Miscarriage, which helped spark a global movement encouraging women to speak openly about pregnancy loss and reproductive grief. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, TIME, and The Guardian, and she is widely respected for her compassionate, feminist approach to breaking the silence around topics traditionally shrouded in shame.

Understanding the Loneliness Epidemic | John Vervaeke on Trust, Belonging & Meaning
14 mei 2025 · 1 uur 2 min
This week on Live Well Be Well, I'm delighted to welcome cognitive scientist and philosopher John Vervaeke to explore what he calls "the meaning crisis" - a profound cultural shift affecting our collective wellbeing and sense of purpose. Lees meer
John unpacks why meaning is so essential to our cognitive agency, selfhood, and personhood. We explore how modern life has disconnected us from ourselves, from each other, and from the world around us, leading to rising mental health issues, addiction, and loneliness. As John explains, finding meaning isn't about pursuing individual purpose but about cultivating wisdom through shared experience and connection.
As he powerfully notes, we shouldn't get deeply involved with someone who hasn't experienced significant grief because "they have not developed their humanity." We also discuss how to develop wisdom through what he calls "the flow state" - when we're so fully engaged that our sense of time diminishes and self-consciousness falls away.
About John Vervaeke:
John Vervaeke is a cognitive scientist, philosopher, and award-winning lecturer at the University of Toronto. His work combines cognitive science, philosophy, Buddhism, and other wisdom traditions to address the challenges of meaning-making in our modern world. John is the creator of the Awakening from the Meaning Crisis lecture series and author of a book by the same name.

The 7 Pillars to Finding Genuine Love Beyond Dating Apps | Francesca Hogi
7 mei 2025 · 1 uur 16 min
This week on Live Well Be Well, I'm exploring the world of modern love and relationships with dating coach and author Francesca Hogi. In an era where AI relationships are becoming reality and dating apps dominate our search for connection, Francesca offers refreshing insights into how we can find authentic love in these complex times. Lees meer
Our conversation dives deep into what creates emotional safety in relationships, the importance of developing self-trust, and why so many people are feeling burnt out by modern dating culture. Francesca shares her powerful perspective on the "new definition of true love" and explains why rejection isn't what we think it is.
Francesca explains that when you truly value yourself, you naturally become attracted to people who genuinely appreciate you rather than those who merely tolerate you. We also explore her fascinating Meet Cute Mindset framework for creating more opportunities to find love in everyday life.
About Francesca Hogi:
Francesca Hogi is a renowned dating coach, matchmaker, and author of How to Find True Love: A Practical Guide to Getting the Relationship You Want. With over a decade of experience helping people find meaningful connections, Francesca brings a unique blend of practical advice and profound wisdom to the often challenging world of modern dating.

Dr. Gemma Newman: The One Shift That Changed My Perspective on Connection | 5 Questions
5 mei 2025 · 13 min
Each week, I ask my guest five questions designed to nourish their mind, body, and soul pre interview. These questions help us explore what makes each guest tick as an imperfect, evolving human, taking them out of their heads and into their bodies. Lees meer
While our discussions often go deep into the intellect, these questions invite my guests to step out of their comfort zones, gain a fresh perspective, and perhaps hold a bit more compassion for themselves. I believe this shift from headspace to heart space is something we can all relate to – it’s the universal journey of being human.
And as a listener, I hope you’ll come away feeling a little more connected, not only to these stories but to the shared truths and vulnerabilities we uncover here. Each conversation is an opportunity to peek behind the scenes and share in the humanity of those on the other side of the microphone.

The Brain-Immune Expert: This Is How Social Media Is Reprogramming Your Immune System | Prof. Dan Nicolau
30 april 2025 · 1 uur 12 min
I'm excited to share this week's Live Well Be Well episode with you all! I had Dr. Dan Nicolau join me to explore the fascinating intersection of our brain and immune system - a relationship that could completely transform how we understand health and disease. Lees meer
"Neuroimmunology" - the powerful two-way communication between our brain and immune system. We often think of these systems separately, but Dan reveals how they're constantly in dialogue, influencing everything from allergies and autoimmune conditions to mental health and chronic disease.
We dive into how modern life - particularly our relationship with social media and screens - might be disrupting this delicate balance and potentially driving inflammation throughout our bodies. Dan shares insights from his groundbreaking research on how what we scroll through might literally be changing our biology, and offers practical wisdom on how we can become more mindful of these connections in our daily lives.
About Dr. Dan Nicolau:
Dr. Dan Nicolau is a polymath researcher whose work spans mathematics, engineering, medicine, and computer science. As a leading voice in neuroimmunology, his research explores how the brain and immune system communicate and how this relationship affects our health from allergies to cancer. His multidisciplinary approach combines rigorous science with profound philosophical insights about what it means to live well in the modern world.

The 19-Year-Old Trying To Become The Oldest Man Alive: Inside The Blueprint Cult – Talmage Johnson
23 april 2025 · 1 uur 22 min
Thrilled to welcome Talmage Johnson today on Live Well Be Well! After interviewing his father Bryan Johnson two years ago, I'm finally sitting down with the younger half of this pioneering health duo to discuss his journey with Blueprint – the revolutionary health protocol that's challenging how we approach longevity. Lees meer
At just 19 years old, Talmage offers a refreshingly thoughtful perspective on health optimisation. Talmage shares how his version of Blueprint focuses primarily on the foundational pillars of sleep, nutrition, and exercise. We dive deep into his daily routine – from his 4-6 hour eating window and plant-based diet to his disciplined sleep schedule and comprehensive fitness regimen.
Talmage speaks candidly about balancing extreme discipline with enjoying life, his relationship with data tracking, and his unique perspective on relationships at his age. His insight into cultivating health habits at such a young age provides valuable wisdom for listeners of all generations.
About Talmage Johnson:
Talmage Johnson is a health advocate and entrepreneur who began following the Blueprint protocol at age 16. Now at 19, he works with his father Bryan Johnson at their health company while taking a gap year from university. He shares his health journey publicly, participating in what he calls "compounding health" - making a long-term investment in his future self through disciplined health practices.

We've all heard about the gut microbiome, but did you know your mouth houses billions of bacteria that significantly impact your overall health? From heart disease and dementia to fertility struggles - the connection between your oral health and these conditions is astonishing! Dr. Lee explains how bleeding gums are actually a warning sign of "leaky gums" allowing bacteria to enter your bloodstream and potentially cause harm throughout your body.
We discuss practical tips for maintaining a healthy oral microbiome, from proper brushing and flossing techniques to choosing the right products. Dr. Lee shares eye-opening insights about how snacking habits, breathing methods, and even certain toothpastes can disrupt your oral microbiome.
About Dr. Katie Lee:
Dr. Katie Lee is a renowned dentist and author of Save by the Mouth, where she explores the crucial connections between oral health and systemic wellness. With extensive clinical experience and a passion for preventative care, Dr. Lee operates a telehealth service helping patients optimize their oral microbiome through testing and personalized treatment plans.

The Burnout Therapist: Why 80% of Us Are About to Break | Sophie Scott | 5 Questions
14 april 2025 · 9 min
Each week, I ask my guest five questions designed to nourish their mind, body, and soul pre interview. These questions help us explore what makes each guest tick as an imperfect, evolving human, taking them out of their heads and into their bodies. Lees meer
While our discussions often go deep into the intellect, these questions invite my guests to step out of their comfort zones, gain a fresh perspective, and perhaps hold a bit more compassion for themselves. I believe this shift from headspace to heart space is something we can all relate to – it’s the universal journey of being human.
And as a listener, I hope you’ll come away feeling a little more connected, not only to these stories but to the shared truths and vulnerabilities we uncover here. Each conversation is an opportunity to peek behind the scenes and share in the humanity of those on the other side of the microphone.

9 april 2025 · 1 uur 4 min
This week, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with someone whose story of transformation is not just powerful, but profoundly moving. Doug Bopst, once a convicted felon and drug addict, is now a celebrated speaker, author, and personal trainer using his experience to inspire others to break free from addiction and build lives of purpose and passion. Lees meer
In this episode, Doug and I dive deep into the truth behind recovery, the mindset shifts required to let go of the past, and the tools that helped him completely reshape his future. He shares how a cellmate in jail became the unexpected catalyst for his change, and how fitness, nutrition, and a strong spiritual foundation became pillars in his healing journey.
We also touch on the male mental health crisis, vulnerability as a strength, and the importance of building authentic connections in a disconnected world. Doug opens up about how he found faith, purpose, and peace—and how he maintains his mindset on the hard days.
If you've ever felt stuck, unworthy, or afraid to face your past, this conversation is here to show you that change is always possible.
About Doug Bopst:
Doug is an award-winning personal trainer, author of three books, and host of the Adversity Advantage Podcast. His mission is to help people break free from addiction and transform their lives through fitness, mindset, and personal accountability.

How to Prevent Cognitive Decline: Neurologists Share 6 Key Brain-Boosting Habits | Be Well Moments
5 april 2025 · 15 min
This conversation hit me hard as my own grandmother suffered from Alzheimer's for 14 years before passing. If you're worried about cognitive decline for yourself or someone you love, this clip delivers game-changing insights. The neurologists break down why women are more susceptible to Alzheimer's, and reveal the NEURO plan - a simple framework anyone can follow to protect their brain health. They debunk the oversimplified "Type 3 Diabetes" theory and explain how up to 80% of dementia cases might be preventable through lifestyle changes. This isn't just about adding years to your life, but life to your years by protecting your most precious asset - your mind. Lees meer

Simon Sinek: The ADHD Superpower - Why It’s My Greatest Advantage
2 april 2025 · 1 uur 23 min
This week, I’m sitting down once again with someone who’s not only inspired millions around the world but has become a close friend - Simon Sinek. It’s such a joy to have this deeply open and personal conversation in his own home, where we journey far beyond leadership theory into the very heart of identity, self-acceptance, and the messy beauty of being human. Lees meer
Simon is the renowned author of Start With Why, Leaders Eat Last, and The Infinite Game. Known globally for his work on leadership and purpose, Simon has transformed how organisations and individuals think about fulfilment, motivation, and long-term success. But in this episode, we strip all that back. What was Simon like before his big ideas took shape? How did his ADHD diagnosis in adulthood impact him? And why does he believe our unique neurodivergence can be our greatest superpower?
We speak candidly about mental health, self-doubt, the friction of neurodivergence, and why vulnerability with friends has been key to Simon’s own journey of growth. This isn’t the Simon you’ve heard in keynote speeches - this is the Simon who’s still evolving, still curious, and still navigating change. I think you’ll find real comfort and wisdom in what he shares.
About Simon Sinek: Simon is a bestselling author, inspirational speaker, and unshakable optimist. His work focuses on leadership, purpose, and building a better world by helping people live and lead more fulfilled lives. His TED Talk on “Start With Why” is one of the most watched of all time, and his ideas have influenced everyone from Fortune 500 CEOs to early-stage entrepreneurs.

The Gut-Mind Doctor: The Mind and Food Strategies That Can Heal Your Gut Microbiome | Dr. Emeran Mayer
19 maart 2025 · 1 uur 21 min
Did you know that a significant number of IBS patients struggle with anxiety and depression? This stark reality drives home why it's crucial to view the brain and gut not as separate but as intricately linked systems. Lees meer
In today's Live Well Be Well episode, I sit down with Dr. Emeran Mayer, a leading expert in the brain-gut connection. Together, we explore how this connection influences our overall health, emphasising the need for a holistic approach to both mental and gut health. Dr. Mayer explains how stress impacts our gut health just as significantly as diet does and discusses the benefits of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and other stress-management techniques in treating gut-related issues.
This conversation delves into:
✔️ The two-way communication between our brain and gut.
✔️ The role of stress in gut health and effective stress-reduction techniques.
✔️ The importance of a microbiota-friendly diet rich in fiber and polyphenols.
✔️ Debunking myths around digestive enzymes, types of milk, and sweeteners.
✔️ The influence of environmental factors like plastics on our gut health.
✔️ How psychedelic therapy is emerging as a potential treatment for gut health issues linked to psychological stress.
Dr. Mayer leaves us with a profound definition of what it means to Live Well Be Well - that true wellness comes not just from what we eat in isolation, but from leading a life that's good for ourselves, our communities, and the planet.
Who is Dr. Emeran Mayer?
Dr. Mayer is a prominent gastroenterologist and neuroscientist, recognized for his extensive research on the brain-gut connection. With professorships at UCLA and authorship of significant works like "The Mind-Gut Connection" and "The Gut-Immune Connection," Dr. Mayer advocates for a comprehensive approach to health that marries diet with lifestyle modifications to enhance both mental and physical well-being.
