On the 5th anniversary of this podcast, I'm revisiting my eye-opening conversation with functional medicine expert, Dr Sarah Davies. You'll hear me share what my younger son suffered as a little boy. Year after year, he was put on increasing amounts of medication that didn't cure him. That's because the experts in charge of his care had no understanding of the role of gut health. His story now drives me to help other families who are feeling helpless. You'll hear us discuss: The body's innate wisdom and ability to heal itself. Why our current medical system is failing patients by not treating the root cause of chronic conditions. How a functional medicine approach is reversing conditions that are deemed to be untreatable. You can hear the full story of what happened to my son in episode 59 of this podcast, "The Medicine of Miracles", with Dr. Mark Hyman. Find it here. Dr Sarah Davies is founder of Functional Nexus and is a passionate educator of both patients and practitioners. You can learn more about her practice here.

Welcome to episode 100 of this podcast! On this milestone episode, it felt right to share the absolute bedrock of my wellbeing: the weekly Jewish Sabbath. I lift the lid on what the Sabbath means to me - and how you can create your own sanctuary in time (you don't need to be Jewish to have a regular day of rest!). In our unpredictable, chaotic, stressful, tech-filled world, a weekly respite is more important than ever. Too much choice is leaving us feeling paralysed, distracted, exhausted, overwhelmed, unfocused and unable to prioritise. The antidote is simple and available to everyone. You'll learn: How limiting our choices for one day a week not only reduces our stress but also increases our clarity and productivity.Why we need a predictable rhythm in order to thrive, with firm boundaries and respite baked into our week.The importance of creating regular rituals that foster close connection with your loved ones. I'd love to know if this episode inspires you to instigate your own day of rest.

Talking to others is a crucial part of our wellbeing: particularly if we're struggling with something and need a compassionate, listening ear. But our tongue can cause us - and others - significant harm. If we use our power of speech to gossip, complain or put ourselves down, that has a negative impact on our own wellbeing - not to mention the effect is has on other people. In this episode, I help you to become more aware of what is coming out of your mouth - and how that might be attracting negative energy into your life.

I understand how it feels to put your own body's needs last...because that used to be me too.

I hope that this episode encourages you to listen to your precious body - and start to give it the care it craves.
