Feel Better, Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee

Did you know that around 95% of your behaviours come from your subconscious mind? For most of us, this means living much of our lives on autopilot. 

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 498 of the podcast with Dr Bruce Lipton.

In childhood our subconscious minds can take on unhelpful beliefs that drive our habits and thinking throughout our lives.

In this clip Bruce shares that reprogramming this ‘hidden’ part of your mind is not only possible, it also has the potential to completely transform your life.

BITESIZE | How To Break Free From Subconscious Habits and Take Back Control | Dr Bruce Lipton #581

Many of us feel under constant pressure to optimise every moment, to become more efficient, more productive and somehow more worthy. But what if embracing our limits could be the key to living a calmer, more meaningful life?

This week’s returning guest on my Feel Better, Live More podcast, Oliver Burkeman, believes that accepting that we can’t do everything might just set us free.

Oliver is the author of the Sunday Times bestselling ‘Four Thousand Weeks’ and ‘The Antidote’, and for many years wrote a popular weekly column on psychology for the Guardian. His work has also appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Psychologies and New Philosopher. 

His latest book, ‘Meditations for Mortals: A Four Week Guide to Doing What Counts’, takes us on a liberating journey towards a more meaningful life – one that begins not with fantasies of the ideal existence, but with the reality in which we actually find ourselves. Designed as a four-week ‘retreat of the mind’, it offers daily wisdom, solace and inspiration to aid a saner, freer and more enchantment-filled way of living.

In our brilliant conversation, we discuss:

 Why the belief that life will finally feel easier once we clear our to-do list is such a persistent illusion

 How shifting our focus from endless achievement to small, present moments can transform the way we experience each day

 Why the fantasy of perfect decisions keeps us stuck in indecision, and how accepting the downsides of any choice can set us free

 How our fear of wasting time is often rooted in perfectionism, and why many of us feel we have to earn our worth through effort

 The liberating idea of daily-ish habits – a flexible, compassionate way to keep showing up without turning routines into self-criticism

 Why we don’t need to wait for life to feel calm or under control before we start living with more intention

 How embracing our limits and accepting that time is finite can help us feel more fully alive and connected

I was delighted to have the opportunity to speak to Oliver again as he brings such clarity and compassion to questions so many of us grapple with. Instead of offering yet another system for getting more done, this conversation is about stepping back, loosening our grip and recognising that a good life isn’t measured by productivity but by presence, meaning and connection.

I hope you enjoy listening.

How to Stop Overthinking & Start Living a More Meaningful Life with Oliver Burkeman #580

Compared to most of our evolutionary history we have never been richer, safer, or lived longer lives. Yet, despite that, more of us are struggling with our health than ever before. What’s going on?

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 381 of the podcast with Swedish psychiatrist, globally renowned speaker, and best-selling author Dr Anders Hansen.

Anders believes we can start to understand the struggles of modern life by looking to the brain, where our emotions are created.

In this clip, he offers a powerful reframe for understanding anxiety, and some simple, practical tools to help.

Anders is someone who really wants all of us to learn how exactly our brains are wired – so we can more easily understand ourselves and our daily behaviours. He is passionate, knowledgeable and a brilliant communicator.

BITESIZE | Why Your Brain Wants You To Be Anxious (And What You Can Do About It) | Dr Anders Hansen #579

As we get older, have you ever wondered why the exercise advice we’ve been given doesn’t seem to work as well as it once did? As we move into our 40s and beyond, our physiology changes in ways that can often feel confusing and frustrating. But what if we could harness those changes to feel stronger, healthier and more resilient than ever before? 

My guest this week is exercise physiologist and nutritional scientist, Dr Stacy Sims. Stacy is dedicated to helping active women – and the people who support them – take back control of their bodies, health and lives through science-based knowledge and practical tools. 

She is the author of two books, including ‘ROAR: How to Match Your Food and Fitness to Your Unique Female Physiology for Optimum Performance, Great Health, and a Strong, Lean Body for Life’ and the creator of her signature course, Women Are Not Small Men, after recognising the lack of research specifically done on women in exercise, nutrition and medicine. 

In this conversation, we discuss: 

 Why conventional fitness advice often fails women in midlife, and how we can move beyond outdated recommendations 

 How hormonal changes during perimenopause affect everything from metabolism and muscle strength to mood and sleep 

 The crucial role of resistance training in maintaining bone density, muscle mass and cognitive function as we get older 

 Why high-intensity interval training can boost our metabolism, balance blood sugar and reduce harmful belly fat 

 How the language around “muscle toning” can be unhelpful, and why lifting heavier weights is so important for building real strength and protecting our long-term health 

 Practical ways to start strength training safely, even if you don’t enjoy the gym, and simple strategies for fitting effective movement into a busy week with minimal time 

 How building strength now supports our independence, resilience and vitality, helping us stay active, prevent injuries and feel confident as we age 

This conversation is an invitation for all of us to rethink what’s possible as we grow older. Stacy’s insights remind us that with the right information and support, we can build strength, confidence and better health at any stage of life. 

And if you find this episode helpful, why not share it with the women in your life – friends, family or colleagues – so they can feel empowered and informed about their bodies, too. 

I hope you enjoy listening.

The New Science of Women’s Health: Strength, Metabolism & Menopause with Dr Stacy Sims #578

In a world seemingly obsessed with financial success, what does it truly mean to be wealthy? And what if the path to a more meaningful life has less to do with what we earn and more to do with how we live?

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 517 of the podcast with successful entrepreneur, online creator, and author of the book ‘The Five Types of Wealth: A Transformative Guide to Design Your Dream Life’, Sahil Bloom.

In this clip, he shares some of the powerful life lessons that inspired his book and we explore small daily actions and practical tools that could help you build a happier, healthier, more fulfilled life.

BITESIZE | The 5 Types of Wealth: How to Design Your Dream Life | Sahil Bloom #577

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 . 

This week, I’m delighted to welcome Dr Bryce Appelbaum, a pioneering neuro-optometrist who believes that vision is our most overlooked and underutilised tool for improving how we feel, think and function. Bryce is a board-certified Fellow of the College of Optometrists in Vision Development and founder of MyVisionFirst , where he and his team combine vision therapy with principles from occupational therapy, physical therapy and holistic wellness. 

Bryce’s expertise includes reorganising the visual brain after concussion, correcting developmental visual delays that interfere with reading and learning and enhancing visual skills to elevate athletic performance. 

In this incredible conversation, we discuss:

 Why eyesight and vision are not the same, and why most eye tests are missing a vital part of the picture

 How visual processing affects everything from focus and mood to movement, memory and resilience

 The hidden visual problems that are often left undiagnosed in both children and adults, and how these can impact learning, behaviour and emotional regulation

 The neurological impact of concussion and trauma on the visual system, and how it can be rehabilitated

 Why our screen habits are damaging not just our eyes but our brains - and how to reverse the effects

 The power of “vision therapy” to rewire the brain and transform quality of life

 Practical strategies to reduce digital eye strain and support visual health, even if you only have a few minutes a day

Many of us don’t realise just how much our vision influences how we think, perform. In a screen-heavy world, Bryce’s insights show that with the right
tools, we can train our eyes and brain to support better health, learning and quality of life at any age.

How to Train Your Eyes & Rewire Your Brain for Better Eyesight, Sharper Focus, Improved Memory & Less Stress with Dr Bryce Appelbaum #576

Twenty years ago, very few scientists even knew about something called the gut microbiome. Now, with over 70,000 research papers published on the subject, this complex ecosystem, home to trillions of microorganisms, is recognised as a key factor in our physical and mental wellbeing.

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 508 of the podcast with microbiome scientist and researcher at King’s College London, Dr Emily Leeming.

We now know that our gut health plays a crucial role in everything from our immune system and our ability to respond to stress, to our skin and even our mental wellbeing.

In this clip, Emily shares some of the latest science along with some simple, practical tips for building more gut-friendly foods into your diet.

Emily is someone who is highly knowledgeable and passionate about helping us all improve the health of our guts. Her message is clear: nurturing our gut microbiome is not about following rigid rules – it’s about understanding this remarkable ecosystem and working with it, not against it.

BITESIZE | 3 Simple Dietary Tips to Improve Your Gut Health, Boost Your Energy & Reduce Inflammation | Dr Emily Leeming #575

We live in a culture that often celebrates the ‘perfect’ relationship
but does little to prepare us for the reality of long-term commitment. Modern life is filled with idealised images of love and marriage – but the truth, as this week’s returning guest suggests, is far more human, messy and ultimately hopeful.

 

I’m delighted to welcome Alain de Botton back to the podcast. Alain is
an author, internationally acclaimed philosopher and founder of The School of Life, a hugely popular education and wellness organisation that provides guidance on how to achieve happiness and fulfilment. His latest book, ‘From Trauma to Healing: How to Locate, Process and Recover From Psychological Wounds’ helps us understand what trauma is, how it affects us and what we can do about it.

During this incredible conversation, we discuss:

 Why the idea that we will “marry the right person” sets us up for disappointment

 How our childhood experiences shape who we’re drawn to as adults 

 The hidden cost of perfectionism in relationships

 The cultural myths about soulmates, instant understanding and effortless romance, and how these ideas can undermine lasting love

 How unprocessed trauma can resurface in our closest relationships, and why learning to communicate our needs is an essential skill

 The surprising role that distance, independence and time apart can play in sustaining desire and intimacy

 

There’s something deeply reassuring in knowing that love doesn’t have to look like the stories we grew up with. And by letting go of these cultural myths and by embracing each other’s flaws, we improve not only our relationships, but also how happy and contented we feel. I hope
you enjoy listening.

How to Feel More Understood, Valued and Secure in Your Relationships with Alain de Botton #574

Did you know that your daily habits directly affect the speed at which your brain is ageing and your risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease in the future?

 

This week, I'm delighted to welcome Dr Darshan Shah to the podcast. Darshan is a medical doctor, a board-certified surgeon, an expert in preventive health and the founder of Next Health, the first health optimisation and longevity centre to offer life-extending and enhancing technology and treatments.

 

Whilst working as a surgeon, Darshan became seriously ill with type diabetes, hypertension, an autoimmune condition, and he was told he had a 50% chance of dying in the next 25 years. This wake-up call came just as his first son was born. Rather than accepting a life dependent on medications, he immersed himself in functional medicine and completely reversed his conditions in just eight months. 

 

During our conversation, you'll discover: 

 The 5 things you could start doing today that would actually increase your chances of getting Alzheimer’s

 The 80/20 principle for health and how focusing on just 20% of interventions can deliver 80% of the results

 Why sitting for more than four hours increases your risk of death by 15%

 Why becoming the "boss of your own biology" through tracking key biomarkers could be life-saving

 How inflammation from your gut and mouth can directly impact your brain health decades later

 Darshan’s top supplement recommendations for longevity

This conversation challenges the notion that we can simply live intuitively in today's environment and expect to stay healthy. Darshan argues that in our current toxic world, taking an active role in monitoring and optimising our health isn't just beneficial, it's essential. 

Whether you're interested in detailed health tracking or just want to learn the basics of staying well, this conversation is packed with practical advice that could transform how you think about your health. I hope you enjoy listening.
