  • Silence as Medicine: How Moments of Stillness Transform Your Brain, Body & Emotional Health with Erling Kagge #551

    Silence as Medicine: How Moments of Stillness Transform Your Brain, Body & Emotional Health with Erling Kagge #551
    Apr 29 2025
    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 Why Erling believes silence is where "the world's secrets are hidden" and how finding quiet moments can help us get to know ourselves better - and appreciate others more Erling’s surprising relationship with fear and how being "one with the environment" creates an unexpected sense of peace even in extreme danger - like facing a charging polar bear! The three simple origins of true gratefulness that Erling found during his expeditions: feeling warm after being cold, feeling full after being hungry and resting after exhaustion – experiences most of us rarely have in our comfortable modern lives How our experience of boredom has completely changed – from being bored because nothing is happening to feeling bored because too many things are happening at once Why Erling believes we should actually "make our lives more difficult" on purpose and how this approach helps us find meaning and satisfaction Practical ideas for bringing moments of silence into our busy lives – whether it's walking without your phone, taking the stairs instead of the lift, or just standing still for a few minutes 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.

  • BITESIZE | The 5 Minute Morning Habit To Reduce Stress, Overwhelm & Negative Thoughts | Dr Rangan Chatterjee #550

    BITESIZE | The 5 Minute Morning Habit To Reduce Stress, Overwhelm & Negative Thoughts | Dr Rangan Chatterjee #550
    Apr 24 2025
    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.

  • How To Break Unconscious Patterns, The Power of Meditation, The Truth About Dopamine & Creating Lasting Change with Dr Joe Dispenza #549

    How To Break Unconscious Patterns, The Power of Meditation, The Truth About Dopamine & Creating Lasting Change with Dr Joe Dispenza #549
    Apr 22 2025
    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: How every addiction is, at its core, an attempt to change how we feel emotionally and why understanding this is the first step to breaking free Why activities like gaming or social media scrolling can make it harder to enjoy the simple pleasures in life How novice meditators in Dr Joe's Week Long Advanced Retreats demonstrate measurable biological changes after just seven days How to heal and move on from the past by releasing emotional baggage, rather than simply re-living painful memories The critical importance of how you start each day and the precise structure of Dr Joe's own morning routine – including how he prepares his mind before meditation Why even small moments of presence can have a powerful effect on our lives 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.

Dr Rangan Chatterjee is the real deal truly caring

The first time I ever saw Dr Rangan Chatterjee was on YouTube from a British tv series - Doctor in the House -- and I thought he was so brave and effective....I am vegan so I don't agree with everything Dr Chatterjee says but I feel is tremendously caring and empowering. I saw him running around his neighborhood with someone he interviewed and I dreamed of returning to running and now I have. I am older and some of his insights are things I know about but I am learning so much including about having hope -- because I do lose "hope" and to have Dr Rangan Chatterjee on podcasts and YouTube helping us through the Covid-19 pandemic with insights and his guests are so helpful.

I have ACUTE INSOMNIA and PTSD from a violent crime over 8 years ago at a doctor's office in SOHO NYC and like too many victimes in NY I still do not have Justice.

When the Pandemic struck finally people knew what PTSD feels like how isolating it is. When I contracted COVID-19 flying out of NY for 24 hours to look for a new home I was taken to a new level of "aloneness" and isolation, fear, anxiety, etc...


Just grateful for Dr Rangan Chatterjee's podcasts are like having an online friend offering support --- he is clear he is human and has his own vulnerabilities. He cared for his Dad before he passed away which is so moving and he is coping with the success he really craved but he is learrning the challenging sides of celebrity. We learn how the pandemic has changed his life as well as he offers us tools via his insights and his diverse guests.
