From Pharmacy to Ayurveda: One Practitioner's Journey to the Root Cause with Bobby Sira

In this wide-ranging episode of Integrative Medicine Matters, Dr Elizabeth Thompson sits down with Bobby Sira, a pharmacist turned integrative practitioner whose journey has taken him from conventional pharmacy through Ayurveda, yoga, functional medicine and integrative oncology. Bobby holds the precision of modern science and ancient Ayurvedic wisdom in the same breath, finding in both a shared language of flow, balance and healing. Together they explore his concept of horizontal and vertical healing, the parallels between Ayurveda and pharmacogenomics, and why the body's soil must be prepared before medicine can truly work. What emerges is a philosophically rich yet practically grounded conversation, ending with a simple but profound reminder: we cannot solve the problems inside us with only the things outside us. In this show you will learn about:🌿 True healing moves in two directions at once, horizontally through tools and treatments and vertically through inner rootedness and purpose 🌱 The body is like soil and must be prepared before any medicine can truly take root and flourish 🧬 Ayurveda and modern epigenetics are converging on the same ancient truth about identity and balance 💊 Pharmaceuticals are one tool among many and must always be used in relationship to the whole person 🔬 Pharmacogenomics is already here and will transform how we prescribe and personalise cancer treatment 🧘 Just five minutes of daily meditation measurably reduces inflammation and changes how we receive and process everything around us 🕯️ Illness can be understood as a loss of cellular identity and healing as the journey back to wholeness 🌟 Knowing what lights someone up is one of the most powerful clinical tools a practitioner can have About the Guest: Bobby is an Integrative Pharmacist and founder of PharmAveda UK, repositioning pharmacists as clinical integrators within personalised and integrative oncology. A King's College London graduate with over 25 years across NHS and private healthcare, he began questioning a system brilliant at targeting disease but underpowered in supporting the terrain. This led him to train in Yoga, Meditation and Ayurveda in India, alongside nutrition, counselling and therapeutic movement. Bobby's practice is further shaped by advanced training in Integrative Metabolic Oncology, including fasting-mimicking protocols, ketogenic strategies and metabolic modulators.

Functional Medicine, Spirituality and the Art of Whole Person Care with Dr Sally Bramley

In this rich and deeply moving episode of Integrative Medicine Matters, Dr Elizabeth Thompson sits down with Dr Sally Bramley, a conventionally trained doctor who found her way to integrative and functional medicine through two pivotal experiences: a serious illness that shook her to her core, and a period of profound aliveness spent in New Zealand that opened her eyes to what health could truly feel like. Sally brings a rare and beautiful combination of rigorous scientific training, functional medicine expertise, somatic therapy, mindfulness practice and deep spiritual inquiry to her work, and the conversation that unfolds is one of the most honest and wide ranging explorations of what it means to truly heal that we have had on this podcast. Together Elizabeth and Sally explore the limitations of the fix it model in conventional medicine, the role of the nervous system in healing, the rising importance of the divine feminine in healthcare, what compassion really means in a clinical context, and why illness, rather than being something to befought and removed, might sometimes be the body's most important invitation to change. Key Takeaways: 🌿 Integrative medicine offers the freedom to meet each person exactly where they are 🔬 Functional medicine is a powerful framework but only works when it addresses root causes not just symptoms 💔 Personal illness can become the greatest doorway to deeper healing and genuine clinical compassion 🧠 The body holds an extraordinary intelligence that is always trying to heal given the right conditions 🌸 The nervous system must feel safe before any real healing can begin 🤝 True compassion means fully seeing someone exactlywhere they are without needing them to be different ✨ Illness can be an invitation to change rather than simply an enemy to be defeated 🎨 The best clinical practice is a creative responsive dance not a rigid protocol If you would like to learn more about functional medicine, NCIM are offering 25% discount (August 2026) from a short course run by Dr Bramley.

Killing Carbs: The Answer to Type 1 Diabetes? with Dr Ian Lake

In this fascinating episode, Dr Elizabeth Thompson sits down with Dr Ian Lake, a biochemist turned GP who also happens to have lived with Type 1 diabetes for over 30 years. Ian shares the remarkable story of how a terrifying hypoglycaemic episode alone in a field in Norway, combined with an early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy, led him to radically rethink how he managed his condition. Drawing on his background in biochemistry, his training in traditional Chinese medicine and his discovery of the pioneering work of Dr Richard Bernstein, Ian made the decision to dramatically reduce his carbohydrate intake and focus on managing insulin rather than glucose. The results were profound. What follows is one of the most illuminating conversations you will hear about how the body truly works, why insulin is far more important than we are typically told, what ketones actually are and why they are nothing to fear, and how a 1000 mile cycling trip through the Alps became the ultimate real world experiment in metabolic health, ending in a book that could genuinely change how Type 1 diabetes is understood and managed. In this show you will learn about: 🚴 A near fatal hypo in Norway changed everything 🔬 Insulin matters more than glucose, always 🥑 You don't need to eat carbs to have enough glucose 🍄 Nutritional ketosis and diabetic ketoacidosis are completely different things 🧠 Ketones are a powerful and natural brain fuel ⏰ Timing your meals around insulin's natural rhythm is a game changer 🏔️ Low carb eating gave Ian the freedom to cycle 1000 miles without worry 📖 Shifting Gears puts the science of insulin into language everyone can understand About the Guest: Dr Ian Lake is a GP with 37 years of clinical experience based in Stroud, holding degrees in Medical Cell Biology, Biochemistry and Medicine from the University of Liverpool. Diagnosed with LADA, a form of Type 1 diabetes, in his mid thirties, Ian spent two decades managing his condition conventionally before switching to a very low carbohydrate diet with transformative results. He is now one of the UK's most passionate advocates for low carb approaches in Type 1 diabetes, speaking at conferences nationally and founding member of the Public Health Collaboration, a charity dedicated to promoting real food for health. His new book "Shifting Gears" tells the story of his 1000 mile cycle ride through the Alps and his journey to understanding insulin metabolism in a whole new way.

In this inspiring episode of Integrative Medicine Matters, Dr Elizabeth Thompson sits down with Dr Michael Dixon GP, pioneer and one of the most quietly revolutionary figures in British healthcare. Michael shares the remarkable story of how a rainy morning drive to surgery, chronic migraines, eczema and a profound sense of professional dissatisfaction led him to open his practice to a Christian healer and how that one decision changed everything. What followed was a 30-year journey that took him from curious country GP to the architect of the social prescribing movement now operating in over 40 countries. Together they explore why human connection is the foundation of all healing, why our health service is financially unsustainable without a radical shift upstream, and why the answers to our biggest health challenges may lie not in the next pharmaceutical breakthrough, but in farms, forests, communities and each other.

Your Genes Are Not Your Destiny: The Science Behind Anxiety, Energy and Calm with Emma Beswick

In this fascinating episode of Integrative Medicine Matters, Dr Elizabeth Thompson sits down with Emma Beswick, nutritionist and founder of LifeCode GX, for a wide ranging and deeply personal conversation about nutrigenomics and what our genes can tell us about our health. Emma takes us on a remarkable journey from the powerhouses of our cells to the pathways behind anxiety, calm and cognitive function, revealing how small variations in our genetic code can have a profound impact on how we feel every day. Drawing on her own experience of lifelong anxiety and the moment she discovered her GABA pathway was genetically compromised, Emma explains how understanding our individual genetics can transform the way we approach nutrition, lifestyle and wellbeing. Warm, wise and genuinely eye opening, this conversation will change the way you think about your body, your health history and your potential.

The Whole Person Prescription: Lifestyle Medicine with Dr John Sykes

Dr Elizabeth Thompson speaks with GP and lifestyle medicine advocate Dr John Sykes about why true health goes far beyond managing biomarkers. Drawing on his work both in the NHS and private practice, John makes the case for whole person care — addressing physical activity, nutrition, sleep, mental wellbeing, harmful substances and social connection as the real foundations of health. The conversation explores the growing role of GLP-1 weight loss medications, whereJohn argues passionately that wraparound lifestyle care should be the core treatment, not an afterthought. He touches on the battle between big food and big pharma, the critical importance of muscle mass as we age, and the scienceof muscle myokines as natural anti-inflammatory agents. The episode closes on an optimistic note, celebrating community-based initiatives like Park Run and the growing momentum behind lifestyle medicine as a genuine force for change. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: • Health is physical, mental and social wellbeing, not just absence of disease • 70% of chronic disease is lifestyle driven and much of it can be reduced or reversed • Why stopping GLP-1 drugs without lifestyle support can leave patients worse off • How exercise dramatically cuts risk of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, depression & dementia • Why resistance training from midlife is essential to prevent age related muscle loss • Leg and grip strength are among the best predictors of a long functional life • Personalisation is essential as advice only works when it fits someone's real life SEE FULL SHOW NOTES HERE Dr John Sykes is a GP in Bath who is as passionate about Lifestyle Medicine as he is about General Practice. Whilst living in Australia, Dr Sykes has utilised his keen interest in positive lifestyle changes to set up a Lifestyle Medicine Clinic in Sydney to reduce, prevent or reverse disease and to help his patients lead healthier, happier lives. He is a Fellow of the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine as well as a Trustee and Director of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine. He has organised and delivered several national and international conferences on Lifestyle Medicine in the UK. This includes the inaugural “RCGP Lifestyle Medicine” Conference, which won a local award with the RCGP.
