    Dr Sally Harris

    Dr Sally Harris is a qualified medical doctor with over 30 years experience, whose interest in people and the way that stress affects their health has taken her on a very interesting journey. These days she works in the private sector combining general practice with health screening, and has also been the advising doctor to the League Managers Association - the professional body that represents all football managers in the English leagues - for the last 9 years. Through her work, Sally has learned many things about what high achievers have in common, and the key principles for maintaining health in a fast-paced life. In this episode, she speaks about her belief that we need a certain level of stress to build resilience but that too much stress is definitely harmful; the importance of health screening based on your own risk factors and not gathering health data for the sake of it; and why consistency is the key principle that underpins everything. Dr Harris is also passionate about women’s health, so of course Gabby asks her for her thoughts on the best way to get through the menopause - listen to the end for her top tip. Hosted on Acast.

    Naga Munchetty

    This week, broadcaster and now author Naga Munchetty, joins Gabby to talk about her journey to the midpoint. As Naga explains in this episode, it wasn’t until midlife that she was diagnosed with adenomyosis and realised that, despite what she had been told her entire adult life, her periods had always been far from normal. It motivated her to understand more about what is going on in women’s health and why women’s reproductive issues are not better diagnosed or understood. She has put all of this into her new book It’s Probably Nothing, and here she shares some of the anecdotes and advice from it; for example, how best to prepare for a medical appointment in order to get the help you need. They also talk about how Naga found exercise in midlife, how fortunate she feels to be doing a job she loves, and the pros and cons of not letting her condition curtail her life and passions.

    Dr Tara Porter on Parenting

    Clinical Psychologist, Dr Tara Porter, has worked with children and adolescents for over 25 years, including as the lead of a NHS CAMHS Psychology Team. She has seen first hand the increase in children being referred to these services, and has written a new book based on what she believes are some of the root causes of the problems that children - and parents - are struggling with today. Tara does not profess to have all the answers, or to be the perfect parent herself; far from it, the focus of her book is on parenting that’s “good enough” - not perfect. She explains to Gabby the reasoning behind this, and how the strive for perfection has caused a disparity between opportunities and expectations, which is harming both parents and children.  As well as explaining what she’s come to see as her three principles of “good enough” parenting, Dr Tara answers some of your questions including how best to support your child through exam stress, and how to help your child navigate friendships and school dynamics. They also discuss some of the issues raised in the recent Netflix series, Adolescence, and her take on how to approach the issue of smartphones with your children to try and ensure they stay open about what’s going on in their digital world.  Dr Tara’s new book Good Enough: A Framework for Modern Parenting is available now, as is her debut You Don't Understand Me: the Young Woman's Guide to Life. You can find out more about the therapeutic services she provides at www.taraporterpsychologist.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Tom Parker Bowles

    Son of Queen Camilla, Tom Parker Bowles, joins Gabby this week to talk about his career as a food writer, turning 50, and why he considers long lunches to be one of life’s greatest pleasures. Tom shares some of his earliest food memories of his mother’s home cooking, why the dining table has always been so important to him and his family, and why he believes food is endlessly fascinating and has always been political. They also discuss what it was like for him growing up within a family in the glare of the media spotlight, how our relationship with our parents changes as we age, and how hangovers have become much more “psychological” as he’s gotten older!  As well as diving deep into his book Cooking and the Crown - an exploration of royal food - and the inspiration behind his new podcast Intoxicating History, Tom gives us an insight into Christmas celebrations with the King and Queen.      Hosted on Acast.
