The Natural Doctors podcast The Natural Doctors

Dr Jess is delighted to welcome Dr Noyan Muini to her practice as a fellow medical and functional medicine doctor who is passionate about personalised medicine, the power of lifestyle changes and treating the root causes of disease.

As a highly experienced NHS doctor and GP, Dr Noyan's frustrations over the lack of time spent with patients, the limited framework of treatment  and the slow uptake of cutting edge science led him to find functional medicine. And to literally find Dr Jess at a previous Integrative and Personalised Medicine Congress! 

Together, they share the same views and passions about how best to treat patients and to give them back their health and happiness. 

This episode is an exciting conversation with Drs Jess, Xandra and Noyan about the future of their clinic and the future of modern medicine.

It’s a topic that more and more people are talking about and considering as a potentially powerful way to support their health. 

Jess and Xandra have a lot of experience with time-restricted eating and have recently tried out longer periods of fasting. They discuss the benefits of the different types of fasting, who should and shouldn’t fast and how to make the whole process as easy as possible.

So many of us become carers in our lifetime, whether that be for children or for parents....or for both. And the physical and emotional responsibilities can take their toll on our health. 

Self-care is not selfish, in fact it's absolutely crucial to preserving our own health so that we can then help those we love. 

Jess and Xandra ask how can you show yourself the love you're showing for someone else? They offer words of encouragement and practical tips to those in the caring role and share their own experiences of looking after others. 

As a highly experienced doctor homeopath, Jess discusses which supplements and remedies are her favourites. And how to find those vital windows of calm to recharge. 

Detoxing goes way beyond a juice fast or a few visits to the sauna. When you consider what contributes to your toxic burden, Jess and Xandra encourage you  to examine your whole life. Every change you make, however big or small, can make a powerful difference and in this conversation, they show you how.

When it comes to our food, do we think about what's nourishing us and what is harming us?  We can make positive changes easily and cheaply by buying in bulk, going straight to the producer, batch cooking, avoiding inflammatory oils and considering organic where possible. Visit the Pesticide Action Network and see which foods are on their Dirty Dozen list.

Looking at your home environment, what about the air we breathe? The water we drink? The mattress we sleep on? If you're planning a house renovation, what can you consider to make it as clean as possible?

We love the natural and organic mattresses from Natural Mat and they have kindly offered our podcast listeners 10% off Naturalmat and Naturalmat Baby branded products online or in-store until 31st May 2024. Use the code NATURALDOCTORS at the checkout or at one of their UK showrooms.

We also love Air Doctor purifiers and paint from Earthborn. Food wise, we're big fans of Unicorn Grocery and Gazegill Organics. Our favourite cleaning products are from Ecover, Bio-D and Method.  And watching Nancy Birtwhistle on Insta! :)
