    How This Controversial Food Is Solving the Baby Allergy Crisis by 85%! | Professor Gideon Lack

    In this fascinating episode of Live Well, Be Well, I sit down with Professor Gideon Lack, one of the world’s foremost experts on allergies. We dive deep into the rising prevalence of allergies, exploring the two significant waves of the allergy epidemic—respiratory and food-related—and what they mean for us today. Professor Lack sheds light on the hygiene hypothesis, explaining how modern cleanliness impacts our immune systems and the skin barrier, potentially leading to allergies. We also discuss his pioneering LEAP study, which found that introducing peanuts early in life dramatically reduces the risk of peanut allergies—a revelation that’s reshaped allergy prevention guidelines. We cover why some people develop allergies later in life, practical tips for managing both respiratory and food allergies, and the role pets and a less sanitised environment might play in reducing allergic conditions. Whether you’re curious about allergy prevention for infants or navigating allergies on a plant-based diet, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you live well. About Professor Gideon Lack Professor Gideon Lack is a leading paediatric allergist and researcher at King’s College London. His work has transformed our understanding of allergies, particularly through his landmark LEAP study. With decades of experience in allergy prevention and treatment, Professor Lack continues to drive innovation in this field, making a tangible difference to families worldwide.

    Dr. Stacy Sims: Exercise, Nutrition & Women’s Health

    In this episode of Live Well, Be Well, I sit down with Dr. Stacy Sims, who joins us all the way from New Zealand, to debunk the biggest myths surrounding women’s health. This conversation is all about understanding why “women are not small men” and why so much generic health advice—fasting, calorie counting, and trendy fitness routines—can actually do more harm than good for women. We discuss everything from the role of protein in a woman’s diet to the truth about Zone 2 training and the risks of Ozempic. Dr. Sims highlights why women need to stop trying to fit into the male-centric fitness and health narrative and instead focus on what truly works for our unique physiology. This is an episode every woman needs to hear—and one to share with the women you care about. What You’ll Learn:Why women need health advice tailored to their physiology, not based on men’s studies.Why fasting may be detrimental to active women.The crucial role of protein in supporting women’s hormones, metabolism, and lean muscle.How Zone 2 training fits into a woman’s workout routine—and why it’s not the “golden child” for women’s health.How oral contraceptives can affect your mood, health, and performance.The truth about Ozempic and why quick fixes for weight loss are risky.

    The Dark Side of Productivity and Why It's Dangerous | Oliver Burkeman

    My guest for today is Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals and Meditations for Mortals. We look into the paradox of productivity, exploring why our relentless pursuit of doing more doesn't necessarily lead to a happier or more fulfilling life. Oliver shares insights on how letting go of the impossible quest to "get it all done" can open the door to genuine fulfilment and peace of mind.  By embracing self-compassion and seeing imperfection as a strength, we uncover how personally redefining success can transform our approach to life. Oliver offers practical strategies to help us shift our focus from constant busyness to making more meaningful choices with our finite time.  Oliver Burkeman’s Website: https://www.oliverburkeman.com/  Books: https://www.oliverburkeman.com/meditationsformortals https://www.oliverburkeman.com/fourthousandweeks *** Thank you to my wonderful sponsors!  FREE Ridiculously healthy coffee works well for me.
