lifestyle medicine

Todays Snacksize Doctor’s Kitchen podcast is all about integrative approaches to cancer. This is obviously a hugely emotive topic, but I’m a firm believer that more can be done to prevent and treat the multitude of cancers.

Catch Dr Zollman on Episode 72 and 159 talking about the rise of integrative medicine and how it applies to cancer prevention, therapy and preventing recurrence after treatment.

My good friend Deepak is back on the podcast today speaking with Sakina. I had the most wonderful conversation with Deepak on the podcast before.

Dr Deepak Ravindran is a boundary spanning ‘upstreamist’ with a trauma informed approach to pain practice. He has over 20 years of experience in Pain Management and is Clinical Lead in Pain Medicine at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in the UK. He is also one of the very few consultants in the UK who holds a certification in musculoskeletal, pain medicine and is board certified in lifestyle medicine. Longcovid, Pain Medicine and Trauma informed practice are subjects that Deepak is passionate about and today Sakina chats to him about:

DIY vs DWY medicine

Sleep and it’s impact on chronic pain

Setting the circadian rhythm, sunlight and caffeine

Making complementary therapy more accessible

He hosts the PainSpeak podcast and is the author of the Best Seller “The Pain Free Mindset” released in 2021 and it’s by far one of my favouroite books. It’s aimed at patients suffering with pain but it’s also immensely useful for all healthcare professionals in understanding all the recent advances around pain management in a trauma informed manner.

A multidisciplinary approach in cancer care is a positive and empowering experience where people can choose what they would like to be doing. Every tool and approach adds on to synergistically provide better support. This is what my guest, Dr Catherine Zollman, GP, medical director of Penny Brohn UK cancer charity, firmly believes in.

Catherine trained to registrar level in Medical Oncology before qualifying as a GP in 1995. She completed a Fellowship in Integrative Medicine at University of Arizona in 2010 and works part-time as an NHS GP and as GP Cancer Lead for the local Clinical Commissioning Group.

Today we talk about:

• The next generation of lifestyle medicine practitioners
• General principles of an anti-cancer diet
• Medical tests informing not directing treatment
• The rainbow of exercises and why moving has anti-cancer benefits
• Building resilience and how for some people, cancer is an opportunity to start thinking about what makes their life richer.

Plus a special guest appearance from Catherine’s son, Luke and his friend Louis who were helping out during the conference and are fans of the podcast who wanted to say hi!

Today’s show is a little bit different from the norm. I’m catching up with good friend of mine and fellow GP, Dr Ayan Panja. You’ll recognise him from previous episodes where we discussed heart and brain health and he has been practising medicine for 22 years since qualifying from Imperial College School of Medicine (my old university).

He co-founded and teaches on the RCGP accredited course “Prescribing Lifestyle Medicine”, he’s writing a book that I cannot wait to read, due for publication in January 2023, plus he’s the host of a brilliant podcast called “Saving Lives in Slow motion”.

This is where Ayan takes 15 minutes of your time to give his perspective on health and wellbeing which is “quietly-mind expanding” as he puts it. Informal, but professional and very very listenable. So good in fact, that I’ve embedded one of my favourite episodes that you’re about to listen to before me and Ayan chat on my podcast. This is on medical myths it runs for about 12 minutes and then you’ll hear me and Ayan talk about a number of other topics:

• Bereavement
• Lifestyle Medicine
• Ayan’s new book
• Why medics need to take a break
• Some of our favourite UK artists

In light of the current Coronavirus pandemic - we thought it was a good opportunity for us to re-release a fantastic podcast that we recorded with Immunologist - Dr Jenna Macciochi, who specialises in understanding how nutrition and lifestyle interact with the immune system in health and disease.

There's a lot of information around at the moment concerning our immune health and we thought it would be a great opportunity to remind people just how incredible our bodies are and what we can all do to help ourselves stay well at this time.

For more specific information and a detailed Q&A session that I held recently on Instagram with Dr Jenna - please click this link here to view the conversation on YouTube. 

The topics that we covered on the Instagram live recently are still very much current today, with isolation, social distancing and trying to limit any contact all key areas for us all to be focusing on and prioritising right now.

In this episode, we talk about what immune health actually means and where it comes from

• What is immunity?
• Where does immunity work?
• How it’s not as simple as eating to BOOST Immunity
• What defines a robust immune system
• Foods to support immunity
• Lifestyle practices to support Immune health
• Vitamin D and it’s impact on Immune health
• Autoimmune disease and support
• Clock genes and Sleep Hygiene
• Is suppressing fever beneficial?
• Mitochondrial function and support

Do take some time to listen to this episode in full - there's a wealth of information being shared by the very knowledgeable Dr Jenna and you will find it super interesting, there's something for everyone on this podcast.

And you absolutely must check out Jenna's new book - 'Immunity - The Science of Staying Well' by clicking on this link here - this is a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to understand their immune health in greater detail - it's definitely well worth a read and covers a lot of great content that we didn't have the time to talk through on the podcast too.

We all know that a poor diet negatively impacts our physical health. In fact, it is now the leading cause of early death in men and number two in women. But it’s not only our physical health that is affected – the effects on our mental health can also be devastating. This week, I am joined by world leading expert in the field of nutritional psychiatry, Professor Felice Jacka, to discuss her ground-breaking research into the link between food and our mental health. We discuss why lifestyle medicine should be the starting point for many mental health conditions and why there is an urgent need to train medical practitioners to give such lifestyle advice. We delve into the important role the gut microbiome plays in this area and how a diet rich in diversity is key. We also talk about the link between a mother’s diet in pregnancy and their child’s emotional health. At a time where the modern food environment is so broken and depression and anxiety are on the rise, this conversation is more important than ever. It really is a fascinating listen – I hope you enjoy it!
