What if the health of your brain determined the health of every other part of your life – your body, your relationships, even your sense of purpose? Today’s guest firmly believes that it does.

A topic that I’m truly passionate about is the introduction of social media and smartphones into all aspects of our lives – and what impact this is having on us individually, collectively and, perhaps most urgently, what impact this is having on our children.
Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.

Could our healthcare system be making us sicker rather than healthier? In the UK, autism diagnoses have increased by a staggering 787% between 1998 and 2018, and one in five people now has some form of mental health disorder. But what if some of our health struggles aren't diseases to be cured, but normal human experiences being medicalised?
This week, I'm joined by Dr Suzanne O'Sullivan, a consultant in clinical neurophysiology and neurology at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, who specialises in the investigation of complex epilepsy and also has an active interest in psychogenic disorders.
Her latest book, The Age of Diagnosis: Sickness, Health, and Why Medicine Has Gone Too Far, aims to challenge long-held assumptions about medical progress and change the way we think about our health.
In this thought-provoking conversation, we explore:
This is a nuanced, compassionate discussion that challenges many of the widely held assumptions in modern healthcare and I would urge you to listen with an open mind. Throughout our conversation, Suzanne emphasises that she's not arguing against the existence of these conditions or suggesting everyone should refuse diagnosis.
Rather, she encourages both patients and doctors to consider whether medicalising our struggles is always the right approach. I hope you enjoy listening.

This week, I'm joined by the remarkable Erling Kagge, Norwegian adventurer, philosopher and acclaimed writer. Erling is the first person to complete the "Three Poles Challenge" - reaching the North Pole, the South Pole, and the summit of Mount Everest on foot. After this record-breaking feat, Erling attended Cambridge University to study philosophy.
He’s also the author of multiple best-selling books, including, Silence: In the Age of Noise and Walking: One Step at a Time.
When Erling was 29, he did something most of us can't imagine - he walked alone to the South Pole for 50 days in complete silence, with no radio contact whatsoever. What started as a physical journey across ice became something far more profound - a journey into himself.
In our conversation, we explore
As Erling reminds us, most of us don't realise what we're truly capable of. His encouragement to break free from limiting beliefs, to move our bodies more, and to add variety to our routines offers a practical path toward a more meaningful life.
In his words, finding fulfilment is about "finding your own North Pole" – a journey that asks us to be brave enough to face ourselves in silence. I hope you enjoy listening.

Journalling regularly has been shown to decrease emotional stress, make it easier to turn new behaviours into long term habits, improve the quality of our relationships and, ultimately, help us lead more mindful and intentional lives. It can help improve sleep, lead to better decision making and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.
Today’s clip is from episode 413 of the podcast which was a solo episode where I outlined the transformative power of journaling.
I’ve recommended a journalling practice to thousands of my patients over the years, but I’ve also seen the positive impact it has had on my own life as well.
In this clip, I share how you can get started really easily by asking yourself 3 powerful questions every morning. They are deceptively simple and answering them will take less than 5 minutes, but doing so can prove transformative.

Almost everyone today is addicted to something. From phones and social media to alcohol and drugs, our modern life has created an unprecedented epidemic of dependency. But what is actually driving this addiction and how can we actually break free?
This week’s returning guest is Dr Joe Dispenza. Dr Joe is a best-selling author, speaker, researcher and someone who has been studying neuroscience, meditation and stress for decades. He believes that every single one of us has a lot more potential that we think, and once we start to tap into that potential, we can create huge changes in our lives, for both our health and our happiness.
In this week’s conversation, we explore:
Throughout this conversation, Dr Joe emphasises that change requires becoming conscious of our unconscious patterns. Breaking free requires noticing these patterns and making different choices, even when those choices are uncomfortable.
So, whether you're struggling with addiction, processing past trauma, or simply want to create a more fulfilling life, this episode is full of profound, thought provoking wisdom that will leave you feeling re-assured, motivated and inspired.

Your breath is intimately linked with every aspect of your health – from how you respond to stress to how efficiently your body burns fat.
