Medicine Unravelled

Coconut is one of the most efficient and effective fruits around. Every part of it can be and is used, from the husk for making baskets or the cream and water for cooking or skin care. The health benefits have been known for centuries in the tropics, however the Western world has only recently caught wind of its amazing properties, which is why you now see it everywhere. However, as with most thin...

Today we’ll be unravelling the genius of Casimir Funk, the Father of the Vitamin. We’re all great at looking at the past and many of us enjoy History: learning about the events that have changed our lives today. But how often do we consider how healthy foods and nutrients came about? I’ll be the first to say that although I advocate for people to take vitamins and minerals, I wasn’t aware of who h...

Make 2023 the best year yet. It doesn’t have to be difficult, hard work and time-consuming to have a better life. By taking simple steps and making small shifts and improvements, you’ll soon notice how things have changed. Imagine in our health: the high blood pressure or arthritis or weight change didn’t happen at once overnight. No, these have occurred with the gradual shifts in your lifestyle b...

The menopause. The second biggest secret women have kept for years.

A few weeks ago I did the ‘A week for the Ladies’ episodes, unravelling the truths about female hormones, the menstrual cycle and taking contraceptive pills. With the ongoing interest in these episodes, the Wednesday episodes have blossomed to be focused on Women’s health. Starting with today’s episode summarising in a simple manner what to do to tap into and optimise each phases of your menstrual...

By making a few small adjustments and adding in a few tricks, you’ll be sailing through these shifts with ease in no time. Unfortunately we’re not given enough guidance in medical school on how to actually prepare for and get through the night shifts. Today I’m...

I have so Matcha to tell you about my favourite drink. In today’s episode I’ll be unraveling the amazing health benefits that just 1 cup of matcha green tea per day can have on your overall physical and mental health.

PMS affects so many women worldwide and many have been made to believe that this is just their bad luck or genes and that they’ve pulled the short straw of womanhood. But that is far from the truth. PMS is not the norm. For many, coming into January is daunting for even more reasons. It brings with it the joys of the worst PMS of the year. Why does this happen and how can it be prevented? Listen i...

As trainees, we can’t escape the Night Shift in Medicine. It is one of the most dreaded parts of the job. Sadly, we have all heard of and possibly even know someone who has had some form of road traffic incident after a Night Shift. Yet, when was the last time you had a seminar or teaching session on how to be safe after a Night Shift? I’ve certainly never had any. There are many things we can cam...

Happy New Year to you all. In today’s society it’s almost expected of us to create New Year’s resolutions. As great as they are, the ongoing joke that we these resolutions never last is not helping us to grow and develop the life we truly want. In today’s episode, I’ll start challenging you to think differently about the way you set your resolutions and what you may consider to focus on. Please le...

Today’s shout out goes to the Brain coach, Jim Kwik. I have learnt and implemented so much of what he teaches into my daily routine and have seen massive impact on my memory and general brain function. I couldn’t hold back from sharing with you. This mega computer that we carry around with us has so much potential that we rarely tap into. Far too often I hear patients or family members expressing...

Relaxation has become a skill in itself. When we’re feeling uptight or getting irritated and stressed, on of the first things our family, friends or colleagues will likely say to us is: ‘relax’. How many of us actually know what it means to relax? How many of us wait until we are fully exhausted before considering to start relaxing? I’m afraid by then it’s too late! It is incredibly important to h...

In my books, perfection doesn’t exist. If it does, then it means I have no more room for growth, development and discovery. And that just bodes for a life of pressure and stress and missing out on the beautiful journey. Delaying things until the ‘perfect’ moment or having the ‘perfect’ figure and knowledge is just a another great procrastination technique. All the greats talk about learning from t...

I have spoken before about the power of our internal talk to ourselves. It has a great power over us. The same goes for the language and choice of words we use. In this podcast I talk about the small changes you can make every day and start applying to your life immediately with incredible results. Today’s tip couldn’t be more simpler, however the underlying meaning and psychological impact it wil...

I am so excited to be sharing about my favourite element, magnesium. By the end of this episode, you’ll not only understand but also share my excitement about magnesium. Such a simple mineral and supplement, but by far under rated. So many systems in our body require it for optimal performance yet we are not providing ourselves enough. I’ll be going through 10 benefits of magnesium and also provid...

It is in these areas that great growth and progress can be made. Simple daily techniques can help U...

Throughout my medical training I remember having to attend resilience training. The sessions would take us through team building exercises, methods for reducing stress, such as going for walks, meditating, spending time with friends and family. However these were never methods that would help me on a busy shift at work where I don’t leave until 10pm, deal with 10 different emotions from patients a...
