    No.1 Grief Expert: Why You're Still Hurting & How To Move On

    This week I'm joined by Dr Chloe Paidoussis-Mitchell, psychologist and grief specialist, and one of the most compassionate voices helping people understand loss in all its forms. What we share isn't about moving on. It's about patients and people who've carried grief in silence for years and finally found a way through. What we explore together: Why the goal of grief isn't to "get over it" and what it actually means to healWhy grief doesn't follow the five stages and why that model was never designed for bereavementThe losses no one talks about: divorce, estrangement, childlessness, leaving your home country, lonelinessHow the brain maps the people we love and why grief feels so physically disorientingHow to actually help someone who is grieving and why a text message isn't enoughWhat a friendship breakup really does to us, and how to make sense of itThe signs you're dysregulated and what your body is trying to tell youA simple technique to create a safe space in your mind for moments of overwhelm If you or someone you love is carrying grief of any kind, whether or not there has been a death this one is for you.

    The Cannabis Expert: The Painkiller Alternative for Chronic Pain, Endometriosis & Migraines

    Have you ever been told that the thing you need to get better doesn't exist on the NHS but quietly, it does? This week I'm joined by Dr. Simon Erridge, medical doctor, UCL researcher, and one of the UK's leading voices in medical cannabis. Simon has a way of cutting through the stigma and the noise and what he shares isn't about getting high. It's about patients who've tried everything, suffered for years, and finally found relief. What we explore together: What medical cannabis actually is  and why it's nothing like what you probably picture when you hear the word cannabis Why the UK is one of the highest opioid-prescribing countries in the world, and what that tells us about how we treat chronic pain What's actually happening in the brain with PTSD and how medical cannabis can help decouple the trauma from the memory itself The shocking contamination rates in illicit cannabis, and why the black market route puts people at real risk Who shouldn't use medical cannabis, and the conditions where it's not appropriate The full range of conditions being treated right now: from migraines, Crohn's disease and MS to anxiety, depression, OCD and cancer-related symptoms If you or someone you love has been living with chronic pain, PTSD, endometriosis, or any condition that feels like it has no solution this one is for you.

    Is one glass of red wine a day actually good for your gut?
