    The Gut-Mind Doctor: The Mind and Food Strategies That Can Heal Your Gut Microbiome | Dr. Emeran Mayer

    Did you know that a significant number of IBS patients struggle with anxiety and depression? This stark reality drives home why it's crucial to view the brain and gut not as separate but as intricately linked systems. In today's Live Well Be Well episode, I sit down with Dr. Emeran Mayer, a leading expert in the brain-gut connection. Together, we explore how this connection influences our overall health, emphasising the need for a holistic approach to both mental and gut health. Dr. Mayer explains how stress impacts our gut health just as significantly as diet does and discusses the benefits of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and other stress-management techniques in treating gut-related issues. This conversation delves into: ✔️ The two-way communication between our brain and gut. ✔️ The role of stress in gut health and effective stress-reduction techniques. ✔️ The importance of a microbiota-friendly diet rich in fiber and polyphenols. ✔️ Debunking myths around digestive enzymes, types of milk, and sweeteners. ✔️ The influence of environmental factors like plastics on our gut health. ✔️ How psychedelic therapy is emerging as a potential treatment for gut health issues linked to psychological stress. Dr. Mayer leaves us with a profound definition of what it means to Live Well Be Well - that true wellness comes not just from what we eat in isolation, but from leading a life that's good for ourselves, our communities, and the planet. Who is Dr. Emeran Mayer? Dr. Mayer is a prominent gastroenterologist and neuroscientist, recognized for his extensive research on the brain-gut connection. With professorships at UCLA and authorship of significant works like "The Mind-Gut Connection" and "The Gut-Immune Connection," Dr. Mayer advocates for a comprehensive approach to health that marries diet with lifestyle modifications to enhance both mental and physical well-being. 👉 Connect with Dr. Emeran Mayer: Website: https://emeranmayer.com/Instagram: @emeranmayer *** Thank you to my wonderful sponsors!  VivoBarefoot | 'If you can’t be barefoot, be Vivobarefoot’ For 20% off, use code LWBW20 www.vivobarefoot.com OneSkin | Topical Products for Healthy Aging http://oneskin.co/LWBW Use code LWBW for 15% off your first order  *** If you enjoyed this episode you might also like: The MOST Surprising Food That Fights Disease & Helps With Losing Weight | Doug Evans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRuYfCmIz74 How to Prevent Alzheimer’s and Boost Your Brain Health with These PROVEN Foods | The Brain Docs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKEvPm11R3o The Surprising Spice That Reduces Inflammation FAST!

    Beyond the Surface: 5 Questions for the Soul with Oliver Burkeman

    Each week, I ask my guest five questions designed to nourish their mind, body, and soul pre interview. These questions help us explore what makes each guest tick as an imperfect, evolving human, taking them out of their heads and into their bodies. While our discussions often go deep into the intellect, these questions invite my guests to step out of their comfort zones, gain a fresh perspective, and perhaps hold a bit more compassion for themselves. I believe this shift from headspace to heart space is something we can all relate to – it’s the universal journey of being human. And as a listener, I hope you’ll come away feeling a little more connected, not only to these stories but to the shared truths and vulnerabilities we uncover here. Each conversation is an opportunity to peek behind the scenes and share in the humanity of those on the other side of the microphone.

This episode of Live Well, Be Well is super special because I'm sitting down once again with the amazing Dr. Stacy Sims, a leading expert in women's physiology.

    Can Women Follow Bryan Johnson’s $2M Anti-Aging Blueprint? Kate Tolo, Co-Founder of Blueprint, Shares Her Experience

    What if the key to revolutionary health changes wasn't a one-size-fits-all solution but deeply personalized care, especially for women? This question propels us into a world where health protocols are no longer generic but finely tuned to meet the unique needs of each individual. In this Live Well, Be Well episode, I sit down with Kate Tolo, the Chief Marketing Officer at Blueprint and a pioneer in the anti-aging field. Kate's remarkable career transition from the fashion industry in New York to health technology highlights her unique perspective on personal growth and the challenges of modern life. She has been instrumental in crafting Blueprint, a public science experiment that pushes the boundaries of what we understand about aging and human health optimization. In our conversation, Kate shares her transformative journey from relying on fast food to becoming a health care innovator. She talks about the challenges of adapting health protocols initially designed for men to better suit women, and how personal health data can significantly impact preventive care and overall wellness. Her story is a testament to the potential of customized health solutions. Kate Tolo's work involves not only advanced health practices but also a philosophical exploration of life's complexities. This episode has profoundly impacted my perspective on health and personalized care, particularly for women. It underscores the potential for each of us to take control of our health in a way that respects our unique needs and circumstances. I hope it inspires you as much as it did me. If you found this conversation enlightening, please share it with others.

    The MOST Surprising Food That Fights Disease & Helps With Losing Weight | Doug Evans

    For years, we've been sold the idea that eating healthy is complicated, expensive, or out of reach. But what if I told you the most powerful superfood on the planet is something you can grow in your kitchen without soil, sunlight, or even much effort? This week on Live Well, Be Well, I sit down with Doug Evans, the ultimate advocate for sprouting, to uncover how these tiny plants can revolutionise our health, longevity, and even the global food system. Doug isn’t just a passionate Sprout evangelist—his journey from a fast-food diet to becoming the Sprout Guy is nothing short of transformational. He shares the science behind why sprouts are nutritional powerhouses, packed with protein, antioxidants, and micronutrients that can help combat chronic disease, enhance gut health, and support sustainable eating. We also dive into his personal story—from overcoming a tough upbringing to discovering the raw, plant-based lifestyle that changed everything. And yes, we tackle the myths: Are sprouts safe? Do they contain enough protein? Can you really thrive eating just sprouts? Doug has the answers, and they might just challenge everything you thought you knew about nutrition. In This Episode, We Explore: ✔️ Why sprouts might be the most nutrient-dense food on the planet ✔️ The simple, affordable way to grow your own food at home ✔️ How sprouting can increase protein, vitamins, and antioxidants by over 300% ✔️ The science behind sulforaphane and its powerful benefits for brain and metabolic health ✔️ Doug’s personal transformation and how he became the face of the sprouting revolution ✔️ The truth about food justice, sustainability, and why sprouting could change the way we eat This episode is packed with game-changing insights, practical takeaways, and a new way to look at food. Whether you're a hardcore health enthusiast or just curious about levelling up your nutrition, this conversation will leave you inspired to rethink what’s possible in your kitchen.

    How to Prevent Alzheimer’s and Boost Your Brain Health with these PROVEN Foods | The Brain Docs

    I’ve always been fascinated by brain health—how we think, feel, and function is deeply tied to how we live our lives. And yet, for so long, cognitive decline has been framed as an inevitable part of ageing. But what if that’s not the full story? In this Live Well, Be Well episode, I sit down with two of the world’s leading neurologists, Drs. Dean and Ayesha Sherzai to explore the cutting-edge science of brain health, neuroplasticity, and longevity. Their work is revolutionising our understanding of how we can actively shape our cognitive future—and the truth is, we have far more control than we think. We get into: ✔️ The myth of brain ageing—why decline isn’t inevitable and how we can strengthen our cognition at any age. ✔️ The power of neuroplasticity—how small daily habits can rewire the brain for better focus, memory, and resilience. ✔️The sleep-brain connection. Why deep sleep is the ultimate detox and the number one factor for long-term cognitive health. ✔️Food as medicine for the brain—how the MIND Diet has been shown to reduce Alzheimer’s risk by over 50%. ✔️The real impact of stress on cognition—and how we can train our brains to handle pressure more effectively. ✔️The attention crisis—how social media and technology are rewiring our minds and what we can do to regain control. Drs. Dean and Ayesha Sherzai are co-directors of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Program at Loma Linda University and the authors of The Alzheimer’s Solution. Their research proves that up to 80% of dementia cases could be prevented—and in this episode, they share the simple but powerful changes we can all make today to build a healthier, sharper brain for life. This conversation really shifted the way I think about my brain health, and I hope it does the same for you. If you found this episode valuable, please share it—and as always, let me know your thoughts.

    3 NEW Science-Backed Blue Zone Strategies Increase Your Lifespan & Happiness: Dan Buettner

    What if the secret to living a longer, healthier life wasn’t in a pill, supplement, or biohacking trend—but in your environment, relationships, and daily habits? In this episode, I sit down with Dan Buettner, National Geographic explorer, bestselling author, and longevity researcher, to break down the science of the Blue Zones—regions of the world where people live the longest and thrive well into their 90s and 100s. We dive deep into the data-driven habits that contribute to longevity, why your social circle can determine your health, and the biggest myths about aging and diet. Dan also shares his response to recent criticisms about the Blue Zones and reveals new emerging longevity hotspots based on his latest research. In this episode, we cover: ✔️ The 5 regions in the world where people consistently live the longest ✔️ Why community and social connection are more powerful than willpower ✔️ The ideal longevity diet based on decades of research ✔️ How your environment is the #1 factor in shaping health outcomes ✔️ The biggest longevity myths - and what actually works ✔️ How modern society is eroding these Blue Zone principles - and what we can do about it Who is Dan Buettner? Dan Buettner is a National Geographic fellow, New York Times bestselling author, and founder of Blue Zones, a research initiative dedicated to understanding and applying the world’s best practices for longevity. His work has led to policy changes in over 70 cities to improve public health, and his Netflix documentary, Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones, explores these regions in depth. 👉 Connect with Dan Buettner: Website: www.bluezones.comInstagram: @danbuettner *** Thank you to my wonderful sponsors!  OneSkin | Topical Products for Healthy Aging http://oneskin.co/LWBW  Use code LWBW for 15% off your first order  *** If you enjoyed this episode, you might also like: Live to 100 with Secrets of the Blue Zones: What The Longest Living People Eat Daily | Dan Buettner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUHR8wwSVIs Ellen Langer: The Mind Can Slow Down an Aging Body https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGpNMy1VxsY Most Extreme Anti-Ageing Routine: How To STAY YOUNG Forever & Look 18 Again | Bryan Johnson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G-Ax76WwXM *** Sign up to Sarah’s Compassionate Cure newsletter:  Science Simplified, Health Humanised.
