BITESIZE | The Science of Sunlight: How 20 Minutes a Day Could Transform Your Mood, Energy & Sleep | Dr Roger Seheult #684

When we think of sunlight, vitamin D is usually the first thing that comes to mind. But the truth is, the full spectrum of light that we get exposed to when we spend time outside plays a vital role in how we sleep, how we feel and even how our cells create energy. Today’s Bitesize is from episode 586 of the podcast with quadruple board-certified physician, Dr Roger Seheult. Most of us know that getting outside is good for us, but we may not realise just how powerful sunlight can be for our health.

The Science of Happiness, Love & Human Connection with Professor Sonja Lyubomirsky #683

If you can’t shake the idea that happiness lies just around the corner, that you’ll ‘be happy when…’ you achieve X, Y or Z, then this conversation will bring you into the present. Because as my guest reveals, the secret to happiness isn't your future success, money or health, but something far simpler (which you can change today). It’s feeling loved. That's the conclusion happiness researcher Sonja Lyubomirsky has arrived at after 36 years studying what makes us content, and it's the focus of this week's episode. Sonja is Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of California,…

BITESIZE | The Truth About Stress: How to Reduce Overwhelm & Feel Calmer Every Day | Dr Rangan Chatterjee #682

What has the biggest impact on your health and happiness today? Perhaps you’re thinking it’s work, money, what you eat, how you sleep… Maybe it’s your friends and family and how you interact with them… These are all valid answers. But let me put it to you that I think there’s one factor that is linked to, but overrides, all of these things: stress. Today’s Bitesize is from episode 607 of the podcast which was a solo episode I recorded all about stress. While some stress is just part of life, if it starts to accumulate it can have negative consequences for our health and happiness. I explain…

BITESIZE | How to Train Your Eyes & Rewire Your Brain for Better Focus & Less Stress | Dr Bryce Appelbaum #676

When we think about improving our health, we often think about changing our diet, increasing how much we move, improving the quality of our sleep and lowering stress, but how many of us think about ‘working’ on our vision? Every day, many of us experience symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, headaches or poor concentration – and never realise that our eyes might be playing a central role. In today’s Bitesize, pioneering neuro-optometrist Dr Bryce Appelbaum explains why our visual system is about far more than simply how well we can see.

The 5 Most Important Biomarkers That Influence Your Health & How To Live Better For Longer with Dr Florence Comite #666

You might assume that how you’ll age is down to your genes. That your disease risk is out of your hands, sealed by midlife, and something to manage rather than change.

Florence is a clinician-scientist, Yale and National Institutes of Health-trained endocrinologist, and some might call her a disruptor. Her life’s work has been built on the radical idea that decline is not inevitable, it is detectable. And because it’s detectable, it’s reversible. Her new book,…

BITESIZE | 3 Hidden Causes of Low Energy (and What You Can Do About Them) | Dr Rangan Chatterjee #663
