    The Science of Weightloss After 40 with Dr Rocio Salas-Whalen

    In this insightful conversation, endocrinologist Dr Rocio Salas-Whalen joins Bahar to demystify the science and emotional journey behind GLP-1 medications. They explore how these drugs—originally developed for diabetes—have become a cornerstone of modern metabolic and hormonal health. From microdosing pitfalls to the importance of muscle preservation, protein intake, and hydration, Dr Salas-Whalen explains why these medications can be transformative when used responsibly under medical supervision. The discussion also touches on the psychological side of weight loss, the future of obesity treatment, and how GLP-1 might even influence brain health and addiction recovery. Dr Salas-Whalen’s new book Weightless offers practical guidance for women navigating midlife metabolism with compassion and science. Key Takeaways GLP-1 medications were discovered in 2005 and have redefined metabolic health. Chronic inflammation is a central issue in obesity and ageing. Microdosing doesn’t work—therapeutic dosing under expert care is essential. Muscle mass is the engine of metabolism and longevity. 100–110 grams of protein per day supports muscle, bone, and skin health. Hydration is often neglected but vital. GLP-1 may support addiction recovery and emotional stability. Sustainable change requires both science and emotional awareness.

  5. Unlocking the Gut–Brain Connection with Srinivas Kamath

    Unlocking the Gut–Brain Connection with Srinivas Kamath

    This conversation explores the complex and deeply human relationship between gut health and mental wellbeing. Srinivas Kamath shares insights from his research into the gut–brain axis, unpacking how hormones, stress, medication and diet intersect at the microbiome level. We discuss the limitations of current mental health treatments, the growing promise of prebiotics, and why personalised medicine may be the future of emotional and cognitive care. The episode also looks ahead to emerging research in longevity, GLP-1 therapies and the role of the gut in neurodegenerative disease, offering a grounded yet hopeful view of where this science is heading. Key Takeaways The gut and brain operate in constant two-way communication, influencing mood, cognition and emotional regulation. Chronic stress and elevated cortisol can compromise the gut lining, contributing to inflammation and so-called leaky gut. Female hormones shape the microbiome across the lifespan, and gut health in turn affects hormonal balance. Understanding an individual’s microbiome opens the door to truly personalised approaches to mental and emotional health. Many psychiatric medications alter the gut microbiome, which may explain common side effects and variable outcomes. Prebiotics play a foundational role in supporting a resilient and diverse microbiome.For most people, prebiotics are more effective and sustainable than probiotic supplementation alone. GLP-1 is central to appetite regulation, gut signalling and broader metabolic and mental health pathways. The vagus nerve acts as a key communication highway between the gut and the brain.Gut microbiome research is rapidly evolving, with more questions than definitive answers at this stage.

    In this conversation, I’m joined by  fashion author, researcher and communication expert Dijanna Mulhearn to explore the hidden language of clothing and the evolving role of fashion as a form of personal branding. Together, we unpack how social media has reshaped our understanding of style, why corporate dressing has splintered into new tribes post pandemic, and how celebrity culture continues to direct the global wardrobe.Dijanna brings her signature clarity to the psychology of fashion, the ethics of consumption, and the way clothing communicates power, intention and identity. This is a conversation about authenticity, individuality and the quiet authority of dressing with purpose.Key Takeaways: Fashion is not decoration. It is a communication system that signals identity, values and intention. Corporate dressing has changed, but the fundamentals of clarity and authority still matter. Social media has blurred the lines between inspiration and imitation. What we choose to wear contributes to our personal brand every day. Clothing shapes confidence and behaviour. Celebrity influence remains one of fashion’s strongest currency drivers. Sustainability is no longer optional. It is part of responsible consumption.
