How To Heal Chronic Pain with Dr Howard Schubiner (re-release) #519

Why has nutrition - something that should be so simple - become so complicated? With 70% of our diet now consisting of ultra-processed foods and conflicting advice everywhere we look, is it any wonder we're confused about what to eat? Today's returning guest is my good friend, Dr Rupy Aujla, who is on a mission to make healthy cooking accessible and enjoyable for all. He’s a medical doctor, nutritionist and founder of The Doctor's Kitchen and author of five best-selling books. If you haven't heard Rupy's story before, his life was changed after suffering a significant heart condition in 2009. After learning about nutritional medicine, he was able to reverse his condition using a food and lifestyle approach. Today, Rupy is constantly creating tasty recipes that help people optimise their health and he shares them - yes, in his cookbooks - but, also, in his wonderful Doctor’s Kitchen recipe app that helps over 10,000 people each week use evidence-based food and lifestyle medicine, to live healthier, happier lives.  In this fantastic conversation, you'll discover: The science of burning fat and why calorie counting often fails in the real world Four evidence-based principles for sustainable weight management that don't require strict tracking  Why ultra-processed foods lead to overconsumption and how to naturally reduce them in your diet The power of single-ingredient foods and how they can transform your health - and why protein at breakfast is crucial for appetite regulation throughout the day Why eating dinner a little bit earlier, can significantly impact our metabolism and weight How the quality of our sleep directly affects our food choices and the connection between emotional eating and our relationship with food Why different diets work for different people, how to find your personal approach and practical tips for implementing healthy changes while maintaining a busy lifestyle This conversation strips away the complexity of nutrition, offering clear, actionable strategies that anyone can implement.  So, if you're feeling overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice, this conversation offers a practical roadmap forward, showing you how simple - and enjoyable - healthy eating can be.   Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

For today’s episode, I’m pleased to welcome back the wonderful Dr Tara Swart. Tara is a neuroscientist, a former medical doctor & psychiatrist, a lecturer at MIT, an executive coach and author of the bestselling book, The Source. She also hosts the podcast Reinvent Yourself with Dr Tara.   If you’ve listened to my previous episodes with Tara, you’ll remember her unique talent for using neuroscience and behavioural psychology to probe ideas, theories, and practices that many believe work, but we’re not sure why.    This insightful and often unusual episode takes a deep and meaningful look at stress - what exactly it is, what impact it has on health and how it predisposes us to storing fat. We also discuss the most effective ways to manage stress, the best ways to build resilience and the benefits of practices like journalling.    We really do cover a whole variety of different topics today including metacognition, the definition of spirituality, what exactly intuition and interoception are, and how we can use them to get to know our minds and bodies more intimately. We talk about rituals, the incredible power of creativity, beauty, and time spent in nature. And finally, we ask some big questions around the topic of death and consciousness, which Tara is increasingly drawn to studying.    If you’re someone who’s interested in alternative thinking and new ideas, but likes the reassurance of scientific backing, Tara’s warmth and wisdom will tick all your boxes. If you’re a sceptic - well, this conversation might just open your mind.   Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

Do you live with regrets? In today’s clip from episode 440, I’m joined by fellow physician, author, speaker and friend, the incredible Dr Gabor Maté. In this clip we explore some common life regrets through the lens of Gabor's thoughts and work and he offers some thought-provoking insights on each. Gabor shares that living with ‘no regrets’ isn’t about erasing mistakes but understanding them, recognising that you did the best you could at the time, and offering your past self compassion. As with all my conversations with Gabor, this one is packed with wisdom, heart, and actionable insights. Gabor has been a regular guest on Feel Better Live More since his first appearance way back in 2018, and we both agreed that this was perhaps our favourite conversation to date.
