    #1 Self-Compassion Expert: How to Regulate Your Nervous System for Better Health | Dr. Kirstin Neff

    Many of us think self-compassion is just about being kind to ourselves, or even perhaps that it implies a sense of laziness or self-indulgence. But Dr. Kristin Neff completely challenges these ideas. She reveals how self-compassion is actually a powerful tool for motivation and resilience, and explains why our culture, and even our evolutionary instincts, can work against it.  Dr. Kristin Neff PhD, is a professor in educational psychology, and the world's expert on self-compassion having established it as a field of study. In this conversation, we talk about the science of self-compassion and how it's linked to burnout and emotional eating. Dr. Neff's insights on gender differences in self-compassion and the famous "donut study" make us rethink our whole approach to wellbeing.  This conversation hit close to home, being someone who has experienced burnout. Dr. Neff breaks down complex concepts like the three elements of self-compassion in a way that's easy to understand and apply to daily life. Remember, being kind to yourself isn't a luxury - it's essential for wellbeing. And the best part? It's free and available to everyone, anytime. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this episode. Has it changed how you think about self-compassion? Sarah Ann *** Thank you to my wonderful sponsors!

    Emotions Aren't Hardwired: THIS IS HOW you can architect your emotions

    Cortisol is synonymous with stress. However, according to Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, it isn’t really the ‘stress hormone’ we all think it is. In today’s episode, Dr. Feldman Barrett shares a different view on how the brain handles stress and uncertainty, and that it is always predicting and shaping our reality. She talks about "body budgeting" and how it is linked to depression and anxiety, and her take on SSRIs and mental health made me rethink everything I thought I knew about the "fight or flight" concept. Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett is a university professor, psychologist and neuroscientist. She's one of the most cited scientists in the world, with over 270 published papers. Her work has shaped our understanding of emotions, the mind, and the brain, and she has written two books that break down complex brain science for everyone.  If you want to understand your emotions or improve your mental health, you need to hear this, and make sure you add her books to your reading list: "Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain" and "How Emotions Are Made".  This episode might just change how you see your brain and emotions, and how you experience things on a daily basis.

    4 Types of Stress: How to Manage Each One | Mo Gawdat & Alice Law

    Stress is something we all deal with, but did you know that it affects us in four different ways? Stress can impact us mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, and in this episode we look into all four modalities and how to recognise them.   Mo Gawdat is a former Chief Business Officer at Google X and a bestselling author, and Alice Law is a stress management expert with a powerful personal story. Together, they're on a mission to take a million people a year out of stress. In this conversation we explore the power of acceptance and how it differs from complacency, why connecting with others is crucial for managing stress, how different generations experience stress, and why we need more compassion. Mo and Alice Law break all of these down for us, sharing insights from their new book "Unstressable". I’m sure this will make you look at stress differently, and maybe you'll try Mo's challenge of setting your alarm for 3PM on Sundays (yes, really!). Sarah Ann *** Thank you to my wonderful sponsors!

    Elevate Your Mindset and Master the 6-Minute Breath Hold Like a Champion

    Here’s my wonderful conversation with Li Karlsen, a freediver and former Swedish Army captain. She served for 20 years before discovering freediving at 35. Li has broken records, including a 200-metre dive on one breath, and a dive under Greenland's ice. Now she helps others face their fears. We talked about her change from military life to ocean depths, and Li shared how freediving helped her heal and find herself. She gives insights on mindset, self-compassion, and purpose that apply to daily life, and her 'Naked Island Test' might change how you see yourself and others. This talk made me want to push my limits and listen to my inner voice. Whether you're changing your life or want something new, Li's story could inspire you. Let me know if this makes you try something different - maybe not Arctic freediving, but who knows?  Sarah Ann 💛  *** BON CHARGE | Science-backed beauty, wellness and recovery products. https://boncharge.com/LIVEWELL?rfsn=8119877.ae1cd73 Use code LIVEWELL for 15% off.

    Dr. William Li: How Your Diet AFFECTS the Blood-Brain Barrier

    Dr. William Li is back on Live Well, Be Well! Mental health is a huge focus for me, and with good reason. Dementia's on the rise, and many people can resonate with the brain fog that comes as a consequence of our fast-paced world. But - did you ever think that being picky with food might mess with your mental health? Dr. William Li breaks down this new research for us, as we chat about how what we eat is so closely linked to our brain health. It's not just about food though - we get into the importance of moving your body, hanging out with friends, and that all-important thing called sleep. We also talk about ways to keep dementia at bay, with Dr. Li sharing some hopeful insights, as well as discussing the not so well known glymphatic system, which is like a brain car wash that only works when you're snoozing. Dr. William Li is a world-renowned physician, scientist, and author. His groundbreaking research has impacted over 70 diseases, including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. He's one of the most sought-after medical experts in the field today. Let me know what you think, and don't forget to live well and be well! Sarah Ann *** Thank you to my wonderful sponsors!

    Surprising Spice Benefits That Help Fight Diseases | Kanchan Koya

    Spices as medicine? Today I chat with Kanchan Koya, a Harvard-trained molecular biologist who traded the lab for the kitchen, and now runs Spice Spice Baby and has a cookbook packed with vibrant spice-filled recipes. We dig into the science behind spices - from fighting inflammation to boosting gut health. Did you know a dash of cinnamon could help blood sugar? Or that chilli might extend your lifespan? It could also be our way to fight against chronic diseases. Kanchan shares easy ways to sprinkle more spices into your meals. We talk about building a "food pharmacy" and making cooking joyful. This conversation got me dreaming of how I can explore more recipes with my spice rack. I hope it inspires you to see spices differently, and maybe you'll start your own delicious health experiments in the kitchen after today. Kanchan Koya is a Harvard-trained molecular biologist turned author, podcast host, and nutrition coach. With a PhD from Harvard Medical School, she leverages her scientific expertise to champion the health benefits of ancient spices. Kanchan founded Spice Spice Baby, authored a bestselling cookbook, and hosts the Radical Vitality podcast, blending cutting-edge science with ancient wisdom for vibrant living.
