As we come to the end of a very exciting season eight, I wanted to personally share all the learnings I’ve learned from the last 12 episodes. I feel incredibly honoured as the host of this podcast to sit down and have inspiring, emotional conversations with such a diverse range of people. I’ve learned so much after eight seasons, but even more especially after these 12 episodes because this season we took a real, drive focus by increasing our production and going to every single guest’s house all over the country. And through that, being in their homes, connecting to them more personally, not only do I remember all of those conversations, but I really felt a sense that they opened up to me more as well. I feel really privileged and honoured. And for that reason, I wanted to end the series with a solo episode with all the things I’ve learned personally. We spoke with people from Professor David Nutt who looks at psychedelics and how we can actually wire our brain, to how the epicentre of our health is our gut health, and through entrepreneurial women such as Liz Earle, she taught me how we can engineer our own serendipity. So all of my findings and learnings, I am going to bring to you today to end series 8. If there’s anything you learned personally, please do let me know - I always love hearing from everyone who listens to the podcast. Send me an email or send me a DM.

How can you supercharge your gut? Dr Federica Amati is a registered nutritionist with a PhD in clinical medicine research, who specialises in achieving optimal nutrition through evidence-based, personalised nutrition plans. Federica works as a nutritional scientist and consultant for ZOE Nutrition. The ZOE app launched in the US and the ZOE covid study uses the technology in place that is now the largest live study with 4 million registered participants logging into the app. But there’s more on that later because today we explore what the gut microbiome is and how it links with an individual’s diet and metabolic health. We look at our gut health and avoiding food-driven inflammation, and ask: could this be the key to achieving a healthy weight, maximising your energy, and overall optimal health?

In today's episode, I interview Dr. Sarah Berry, a Reader in Nutritional Sciences at King's College London and the lead nutritional scientist on the ZOE Predict study, which you may remember if you listened to Tim Spector's episode from a few weeks ago.   And before you hit play, I want to ask you a few questions and just take a moment to actually look at the complexity of your own diet.   Do you analyse calories?   Do you look at macros?  Or do you follow a specific diet to optimise your health?   As a nutritionist, I am always interested in what inspires people to make choices around their diet.   As individuals, we are complex, but in today's episode, we break down how complex the food we consume is too, and how this impacts our own health.  And you may be surprised that the type of diet style you have adopted may not be having as much of an impact as you wished.   We delve into:  the complexity of food versus the complexity of us and how this affects our own health outcomes  the food matrix to help us learn even more around the complexity which lies in our own responses to food  the concept of how and when we eat is going to have a dramatic health outcome on our health markers  Plus social jet lag and time restricted eating.  This is a really interesting episode which I personally have learned a lot from. I think you’ll enjoy it too.

Emmy Brunner is a psychotherapist, author and personal empowerment coach. Author of The Trauma Redefined, and Find Your True Voice, Emmy is an expert on trauma, and I sat down with her at her beautiful home in Brighton to discuss dealing with shame and finding your highest self. Emmy believes we’ve all experienced trauma in our lives. What we now refer to as mental illness is actually our response to those traumas. When we cultivate a compassionate relationship with ourselves, we are able to step into our power, creating a mindset that expects and generates success. When we learn to listen to, and love, ourselves we unlock this ability. This was such a powerful episode to record and I’m so excited to share it with you. As always please do let me know your thoughts on the episode, share it with friends and subscribe if you haven’t already.
