    # 405 - How interacting with animals changes us - Prof Aubrey Fine

    Prof Fine Book : https://shorturl.at/aeltL

    Animals have an incredible effect on us humans, they can dissolve a bad mood in a moment and melt our hearts on demand with a simple touch and to talk to us about the science underpinning this, is Prof Aubrey Fine who is a psychologist, a best selling author and is an expert in the field of children and animal therapeutic interaction.

    Professor Fine tells us what effects animals have on our psyche but also how they change us physiologically.We hear the positive impact animals have on children with ADHD, Autism and other conditions.

    Find out the varying reasons people choose to have a pet in the first place.

    And crucially we hear how to process the loss of a pet that has come to be a beloved member of the family as Professor Fine tells us how he dealt with the loss of his own golden retriever Ketzy.

    This is a really touching and insightful conversation with a man who has a deep love and respect for his animal companions but also an appreciation of their power to help us become better human beings.

    # 404 - Why you are not happy and how to fix it - Prof John Helliwell

    # 404 - Why you are not happy and how to fix it - Prof John Helliwell

    We're all about happy habits on this podcast and today I'm looking at happiness itself with Professor John Helliwell happiness expert who has studied happiness and the annual world happiness report every year since it was first published in 2012.

    We ask which countries are the happiest and why?

    Are those people who are married or in a long term relationship happier than single people?

    How does an experiment involving dropping wallets in the street, teach us about happiness?

    Are younger people happier than older people?

    And crucially what can we do that boosts our own happiness?

    # 402 - Insulin and the weightloss mindset - Dr Morgan Nolte

    # 402 - Insulin and the weightloss mindset - Dr Morgan Nolte

    Today I welcome back clinical specialist Dr Morgan Nolte, in this episode we talk about the insulin model of sustainable weightloss.

    Crucially we explore the mindset that we need in order to achieve any goal including weight management goals.

    Discover the habits needed to bring about sustainable behaviour change such as committing to a goal, embracing discomfort, tracking activities, and controlling the controllables and engaging in what is called autosuggestion, and if that term is new, guess what you're already engaging in autosuggestion when it comes to your negative habits.

    This is a masterclass in how to attain any goal. Dr Nolte spells out exactly how to go about achieving an aim from moment to moment and day to day.

    I guarantee you'll get lots out of this episode especially if you have struggled in the past with turning things around whatever your goal has been.

    # 401 - Is glyphosate, a widely used herbicide in your food causing chronic disease

    # 401 - Is glyphosate, a widely used herbicide in your food causing chronic disease

    Dr Stephanie Seneff author of Toxic legacy has been a loud voice in opposing the use of the weedkilling chemical glyphosate called Roundup by the agricultural sector.
    In this episode we explore what this chemical is and discuss how it negatively affects not only the health of animals in the laboratory but also livestock.
    We hear of the environmental implications of its use but chillingly we also hear about how it affects human health, our reproductive and our endochrine systems.
    Dr Seneff explores the damage to the nervous system in humans including neurological damage.
    Expect learn of the increase in glyphosate use and a corresponding increase in the numbers of children being diagnosed with autism in recent years.
    We discover how the use of pesticides and herbicides impacts our microbiome, our gut bacteria which has been linked with the maasive increase in gastrointestinal disorders in recent years.
    We learn that you can't wash glyphosate off affected foodstuffs as it is absorbed into the tissues of plants.
    This is a subject that is of concern and a very current one given in North America these chemicals are widely used and in Europe a decision has only recently been made to allow the continued use of this glyphosate weedkiller for another 10 years which really needs to be examined.

    # 400 - The big FAT lie - Nina Teicholz science journalist

    # 400 - The big FAT lie - Nina Teicholz science journalist

    This podcast is about sharing information, quality information about how to become better versions of ourselves, physically and mentally. For information about our physical health we have historicallyrelied on scientists, nutritionists, medics, experts and government guidelines.

    But what happens when that information is tainted, this is what we explore today as I talk with investugative science journalist and author of The Big Fat Surprise, Nina Teicholz. Nina is a force of nature who has almost singlehandedly challenged the narrative on fat in our diets and that saturated fat causes heart disease.

    In this episode we discover where the commonly accepted and yet disproven idea that saturated fat is bad for us, came from.

    We hear about a physiologist called Ancel Keys and the role his flawed science, his biases and his sheer force of personality played in influencing the American Heart Association and its dietary guidelines and how that influence continues to this day, 70 years on.

    We hear why researchers were afraid to talk with Nina when she was writing her book.

    Expect to learn Nina's thoughts on vegetable oils inclusion in modern diets in recent decades and how their increased consumption has led to worsening health.

    We talk about the enormous control large mutinational food companies have over western diets at the expense of our health.

    We learn why the pharmaceutical industry thrives off drugs that people take indefinitely, such as the new weightloss drug Ozempic which Oprah recently announced that shes taking , indeed I ask Nina what her thoughts are on Oprah's relationship with Ozempic given her decades long status as a weightloss icon.

    My conversation with Nina Teichloz is a real eye opener, with more than few jaw dropping admissions, I hope you enjoy it as amuch as I did.
