    #434 Why Running Isn’t Bad For Your Knees, How To Exercise Without Pain & Move Faster (Without Even Trying!) with Helen Hall

    #434 Why Running Isn’t Bad For Your Knees, How To Exercise Without Pain & Move Faster (Without Even Trying!) with Helen Hall

    Today I’m thrilled to welcome my dear friend, Helen Hall back to the podcast. Helen is a movement therapist, a running coach, a pain expert and one of the best coaches in any modality that I have ever come across. She has had a lifelong passion for analysing posture and movement, and her clients include elite athletes, whether they be runners, cyclists or premier league footballers, but also everyday folk who simply want to walk or run pain-free.
     
    She combines objective clarity from the most advanced motion analysis technology in the world, with 46 years of visual experience and study in the field, to seek out the root causes of chronic pain and injury, that often seem resistant to standard treatment protocols. 
     
    In order to help more people than those able to visit her in person, she first shared her movement philosophy in her wonderful book ‘Even With Your Shoes On’. She has gone on to create a series of online videos to help more people move pain-free. Helen has also launched an online course called ‘PFM Pilot’ which is getting fantastic reviews - it is aimed at both professionals working in the field of movement, pain and injury, and also amateurs who are keen to learn more and help themselves.
    Helen first came on my podcast on Episode 216 in November 2021 and many of you got in touch to say how helpful the tools shared in that episode were. 
    In this conversation, we continue where we left off:

    We talk again about the vital importance of our head position – and how to become aware of how you’re holding your own head, if you’re struggling to know.We bust the myth that running is bad for your knees.We discuss walk-run strategies and how they can help all of us reduce injury, recover more quickly and run faster.We discuss why ‘foot wiping’ - a very simple practice that I do on most days - could help you move with more ease.We talk about the importance of spending time barefoot.We discuss minimalist shoes and why we are both big fans. 
    Since I began working with Helen she’s become a cherished friend, whose wisdom and insights cover much more than walking and running. Her message for this brilliant episode is straightforward and optimistic: think about your head, think about your feet – and don’t assume that you can no longer move without pain. She is an inspiring lady, this is an inspiring conversation, I hope you enjoy listening.

    #432 The Real Cause of Belly Fat, How To Fix Your Metabolism & Why Your Liver Is More Important Than You Think with Professor Robert Lustig

    #432 The Real Cause of Belly Fat, How To Fix Your Metabolism & Why Your Liver Is More Important Than You Think with Professor Robert Lustig

    Twenty percent of obese people are in metabolically great health. Meanwhile sixty percent of supposedly ‘healthy’ weight people are metabolically unwell and at risk of a host of chronic diseases. With this in mind, do we need to change our thinking about what ‘being fat’ really means?
    Today, I’m thrilled to welcome back Dr Robert Lustig, a leading public health authority who for many years has been trying to expose the truth behind the food industry and the many myths within modern medicine. Rob is Professor Emeritus of Paediatrics, Division of Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco He is the author of multiple books including Metabolical: The Truth About Processed Food and How it Poisons People and the Planet.
     
    Robert first came onto my podcast back on episode 251 when we took a deep dive into what happens inside our bodies when we consume excess sugar. In today’s conversation, we do touch again on the impact of sugar on human health but the main focus is on the three different sites in the body where we deposit fat: subcutaneous (which you can see and feel); visceral (stress-related fat around the middle), and liver fat. It’s only the first of these that you’re likely to notice on the scales – but it’s the latter two, says Rob, that really determine your health.
    We talk about why it’s stress not food that largely drives dangerous visceral - the fat that surrounds our organs - and Rob’s view that chronic stress underpins metabolic, mental, global and planetary health.
    We also discuss
    how a minimally processed, wholefood diet can mitigate stress and weight gainwhy he’s not a fan of fructose, nor the glycaemic indexwhy he thinks that continuous glucose monitors (CGM) can help the general population, not just those with diabeteswhy the liver may well be the body’s most important organ when it comes to metabolic health, and some of the key tests we can do to assess our own liver healthAnd we also talk about alcohol, fruit, honey and many more topics that will help you make empowered decisions for you and your family’s health. 
    Rob’s work has changed many people’s lives around the world and his message deserves to be heard loud and clear. He is knowledgeable, passionate and someone who is not afraid to say what he thinks. I always enjoy talking to him, I hope you enjoy listening.

    #430 How To Live A Happy and Contented Life, Why Wealth Is Nothing To Do With Money & Why Hacks Don’t Work with Morgan Housel

    #430 How To Live A Happy and Contented Life, Why Wealth Is Nothing To Do With Money & Why Hacks Don’t Work with Morgan Housel

    When John D Rockefeller was asked how much money was enough, he famously replied, “Just a little bit more.” This quote is often used to illustrate our hard-to-shake view that money will solve all life’s problems. But as today’s guest is keen to point out, it probably won’t. Because life’s true riches don’t have a £-sign in front of them.
     
    Today’s guest is the multi award-winning financial writer and bestselling author Morgan Housel. Morgan is a partner at The Collaborative Fund and a former columnist at The Wall Street Journal.
     
    In his first book, The Psychology of Money, Morgan explains how doing well with finance is less about what you know and more about how you behave. This is an idea that I believe applies equally to health. That book became a global sensation and to date has sold over 4 million copies. And his second book, Same as Ever:Timeless Lessons on Risk, Opportunity and Living a Good Life has just come out.
     
    Morgan explains that in finance, as in health, we generally don’t want to put in the hard work over the long term. We want shortcuts, secret hacks, silver bullets. Yet, he says, basic truths and principles remain the same as ever.
     
    We also talk about the relationship between money and happiness, the relationship between our finances and our health, the real meaning of wealth and the importance of having a sense of control.
     
    We discuss the problems with black and white thinking, the dangers of social comparison, the difference between success and happiness, and why we need to be careful about who we look up to.
     
    At its core, this is a conversation about what it really means to live a happy and contented life.
     
    There’s a quote from Lao Tzu, that I really like: “He who knows he has enough is rich.” It’s such simple yet profound advice. And it chimes with Morgan’s ultimate message, that whatever your current financial situation, what’s going to make you happy is probably not what you think.
     
    This is a thought provoking conversation that I’m pretty sure will have you thinking deeply about your life.

What they said + bios of guests + ads music

I echo what past receivers said so I’ll add 2 more things. I appreciate how the host introduces a well crafted bio of each guest so we understand: their studies and certifications, their work, experience and expertise and their mission. Second, I also appreciate the music intermission that signals ads are coming. Other wellness podcasts do not announce the break time for ads and since the products announced are related things get muddy. I appreciate this production choices that signal transparency.

Euphoric Team ,

I’m speechless. 🤯

This is such a wonderful podcast.

Dr. Chatterjee is a brilliant interviewer. The episodes are relatable, engaging, and useful.

Apply the wisdom in his episodes and it will change your life. I’m sure of it!

Thanks for the top-tier content. I can’t get enough and tell all my friends about your show.

Easy

I like his voice, his topics and especially how thorough he is. I have struggled with depression and anxiety for over 35 years and he has brought lightening viewpoints to me. I am very appreciative!
