    #279 BITESIZE | Do This Every Day to Reduce Stress and Anxiety | Dr Andrew Weil

    enJune 02, 2022
    What is the connection between mind and body according to Dr. Weil?
    How do non-physical causes affect physical health?
    What role do placebo effects play in healing?
    What is the significance of breath regulation in health?
    Why is mindfulness important for overall well-being?

    • The mind and body connection is deeply overlooked in Western science and medicineRecognizing the interconnectedness of mind and body can lead to better health and wellness through practices like mindfulness and meditation

      According to Dr. Andrew Weil, the mind and body are deeply connected, but the current Western scientific and medical paradigm often fails to acknowledge this connection. He believes that they are two sides of the same reality and that non-physical causes of physical events should be recognized. This oversight has hindered research in areas like mind-body interactions, the acceptance of modalities like hypnosis as medical treatments, and the understanding of phenomena like placebo effects. By recognizing the interconnectedness of the mind and body, we can better understand health and wellness as a whole. Try incorporating daily practices, like mindfulness or meditation, to reduce stress and promote overall well-being.

    • Exploring the Power of Ancient Breathing Techniques for Modern Anxiety ReliefAncient breathing techniques like the 478 breath can effectively reduce anxiety and promote calmness, making them essential components of healthy living often underutilized due to their affordability, efficiency, and enjoyment.

      Mind-body medicine, including practices like breath regulation, is an essential component of healthy living that is often underutilized due to its affordability, efficiency, and enjoyment for both practitioner and patient. The ancient Indian practice of focusing on breath regulation has been shown to effectively reduce anxiety and promote calmness, despite receiving little scientific attention. One such technique is the 478 breath, a yoga practice that has been around for thousands of years and has been popularized by the speaker since the 1980s. This technique, learned from Dr. Fulford, involves specific breathing patterns and has been practiced and taught by the speaker to countless patients. The speaker emphasizes that managing stress through mind-body practices is crucial to prevent damage to both the body and mind.

    • Improve health with the 4-7-8 breathing techniqueReduce inflammation, lower heart rate, blood pressure, and improve digestion with this simple 30-second breathing practice twice a day

      The 4-7-8 breathing technique is a simple, free, and effective practice that can significantly improve health by reducing inflammation in the body. This technique, which involves breathing in quietly through the nose for a count of four, holding the breath for a count of seven, and exhaling forcefully through the mouth for a count of eight, can be done twice a day and requires only 30 seconds. By practicing this technique regularly, one can decrease sympathetic tone and increase parasympathetic tone, leading to lower heart rate, blood pressure, and improved digestion. This technique, which has been shown to be effective in large groups of people, can be used as prevention, prophylaxis, and treatment for various diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, and depression. The understanding that inflammation is a root cause of many chronic diseases and that focusing on reducing inflammation through lifestyle practices like the 4-7-8 breathing technique can help tackle multiple diseases at once is a powerful theme that emerges from this discussion.

    • Understanding the interconnected nature of the body for effective health managementEffective health management involves recognizing the interconnectedness of the body and utilizing techniques like breath regulation to foster independence and autonomy, while addressing fundamental aspects like food, movement, sleep, and stress.

      The human body functions as an interconnected system, and treating it as a collection of separate parts can limit our understanding and effectiveness of addressing health issues. A powerful example of this is the use of the 478 breath technique for anxiety, which empowers individuals to take control of their anxiety states through breath regulation, fostering greater independence and autonomy compared to relying on external medications that can create dependence. The mind's power and the placebo effect are crucial elements in healthcare, and addressing fundamental aspects like food, movement, sleep, and stress is essential for overall well-being.

    • The Power of the Mind in HealingThe mind plays a crucial role in our overall health and wellbeing, and placebo responses, often overlooked, are actual healing responses from within, mediated by the mind.

      Our mind plays a significant role in our overall health and wellbeing. The way we perceive the world and our belief systems can influence our behaviors and determine long-term changes. The power of the mind is often overlooked in medicine, with the term "placebo" carrying a negative connotation. However, placebo responses are actual healing responses from within, mediated by the mind. Instead of dismissing placebo effects, we should aim to maximize them in medical treatments. The art of medicine lies in presenting treatments to patients in a way that elicits the maximum healing response with minimal direct physical intervention. It's time to reframe the conversation around placebo effects and recognize their importance in the realm of healthcare. To illustrate this concept, try flipping through a medical journal and examining the results in the placebo group. The placebo effect is not imaginary, but a real and valuable aspect of the healing process.

    • The Power of the Mind to Heal and Boost ConfidenceThe mind's ability to bring about physical changes in the body can mimic pharmaceutical effects, enhancing mental well-being and overall health. Strategies for boosting confidence and improving relationships are found in 'Happy Minds Happy Life'.

      The human mind has the power to bring about physical changes in the body that can mimic the effects of pharmaceutical agents. This is a significant discovery from decades of randomized controlled drug testing. It's crucial to understand and harness this ability to boost confidence in our bodies' resilience and healing capabilities. Most people are healthy most of the time, which is a testament to our bodies' intrinsic healing mechanisms. This discovery can lead to simple and practical strategies for enhancing mental well-being and overall health. My new book, "Happy Minds Happy Life: 10 Simple Ways to Feel Great Every Day," offers such strategies, including dealing with criticism, overcoming lack of motivation, building better relationships, and experiencing more joy in life. If you find my podcast insightful, I believe you'll enjoy this book. It's available as a paperback.

    #476 A Monk's Guide To Finding Happiness, Cultivating Inner Peace & Slowing Down In A Fast-Paced World: Haemin Sunim

    #476 A Monk's Guide To Finding Happiness, Cultivating Inner Peace & Slowing Down In A Fast-Paced World: Haemin Sunim
    What if the key to happiness and fulfilment was not changing our external circumstances but learning to appreciate and understand our inner world? This powerful idea is at the heart of this week's conversation with Buddhist monk and author Haemin Sunim. Haemin is a Zen Buddhist teacher and the author of two Sunday Times bestselling books, including his very latest, the beautiful: ‘When Things Don’t Go Your Way: Zen Wisdom for Difficult Times.’    Haemin was born in South Korea, educated at Berkeley, Harvard, and Princeton, and received formal monastic training in Korea. When not travelling to share his teachings, he resides in Seoul, where he founded the Dharma Illumination Zen Center, offering meditation retreats and counselling programs. We begin our conversation exploring the tension between personal aspirations and societal expectations, what Haemin calls the "me of me" versus the "me of others." This internal conflict, he believes, is at the root of much of our stress and unhappiness.   We also discuss the importance of slowing down and being present, and how, in our rush to achieve and reach our goals, we can often miss the beauty and richness of our current experiences. With that in mind, Haemin shares some practical tips for mindfulness, that can help us reconnect with ourselves and the world around us.   A key theme in this conversation is the interconnected nature of all things. Haemin explains how adopting this worldview can profoundly affect our happiness and sense of purpose. We also discuss the power of listening, the importance of solitude, and the crucially important notion that we always have a choice in how we interpret and respond to life's challenges. And, even when things don't go our way, there's always an opportunity for growth and unexpected joy.   This is a beautiful conversation, full of deep and practical insights that I’m sure will help you find greater peace, purpose and contentment.    Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

    #474 How To Eat To Balance Hormones, Boost Energy & Burn Fat with Dr Mindy Pelz
    For many years, today’s guest, has been helping tens of thousands of women all around the world live healthier lives by helping them understand the key differences male and female bodies. Dr Mindy Pelz is a renowned holistic health expert, a pioneer on the subject of women’s health and the author of several books, including the international bestseller ‘Fast Like a Girl’ and her brand new one, ‘Eat Like a Girl: 100+ Delicious Recipes to Balance Hormones, Boost Energy, and Burn Fat’. This is Mindy’s third appearance on my podcast and our initial conversation back in 2022 was one of the most listened-to podcast episodes in the entire UK that year and I think that speaks to just how important her empowering message really is. In this conversation, Mindy explains the importance of women understanding their unique hormonal cycles and offers profound insights on how they can live in harmony with their hormones, and find balance in our hectic modern world. Mindy talks about how we can harness the power of food to support our body’s natural rhythms and how as a society, we can bring a more positive attitude to the challenges of peri-menopause and menopause. We also explore Mindy’s foundational five health principles.   Always passionate in her approach, Mindy embodies the importance of staying curious, adaptable and proactive and, in this episode, she highlights the importance of healthcare professionals truly listening to women's experiences but emphasises that it's ultimately us who are responsible for our own wellbeing.   While this episode primarily focuses on female health, the content within it is crucial listening for everyone. Yes, Mindy wants to provide women with powerful knowledge about their bodies but, for men, Mindy’s work provides a deeper understanding of the unique challenges that women face and helps them better support the women in their lives.   This really is a powerful conversation and Mindy’s empowering attitude reminds all of us that it's never too late to better understand our bodies and take action to improve the quality of our lives.    Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

    #472 How to Break Free from Chronic Pain and Reclaim Your Life with Professor Peter O'Sullivan

    #472 How to Break Free from Chronic Pain and Reclaim Your Life with Professor Peter O'Sullivan
    Did you know that chronic pain affects 1 in 5 people globally and is the leading cause of disability? Whether it's persistent back pain, recurring neck issues, stubborn knee problems, or debilitating migraines, chronic pain can be both physically exhausting and emotionally draining. But, as this week’s fantastic guest will explain, there is so much more that we could be doing.   Professor Peter O'Sullivan is a Specialist Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist and a John Curtin Distinguished Professor at the School of Allied Health Sciences at Curtin University. He’s internationally recognised as a leading clinician, researcher and educator in musculoskeletal pain disorders. And, with his team, he’s developed an approach called cognitive functional therapy, which has been proven to work not just with chronic back pain but also with other persistent pain conditions. Together, they have published more than 345 scientific papers, written numerous book chapters, and Peter has been the keynote speaker at over 120 international conferences.  In this episode, Peter explains why changing the story around pain is one of the most important things we need to address, if we want to effectively tackle it. We delve into the 10 myths of lower back pain and challenge common beliefs about posture, core strength, and the necessity of scans. Peter also explains why many popular strategies for avoiding back pain might actually make things worse. We discuss the vital role of healthcare professionals in chronic pain management, including the need for a multidimensional approach that combines physical therapy with psychological understanding. Building trust, listening to patient stories, and fostering hope is crucial in order to make people active participants in their own recovery journey. Peter is knowledgeable, passionate and someone who deeply cares about helping people break free from chronic pain. I truly believe this episode has the potential to change lives. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain yourself or know someone who is, I encourage you to tune in and listen to this valuable information. Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

    #471 8 Hidden Habits To Live Your Healthiest, Happiest and Most Fulfilled Life with Robin Sharma

    #471  8 Hidden Habits To Live Your Healthiest, Happiest and Most Fulfilled Life with Robin Sharma

    Is it time to redefine what it means to live a rich life? In a world where we're constantly bombarded with images of material success, it's easy to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others and believing that more money means more happiness. But what if there's more to wealth than just money?

     

    What if the richest people aren't those with the most money but those with the most meaningful lives?

    This week, I'm thrilled to welcome Robin Sharma to my Feel Better Live More podcast. Robin is a globally respected humanitarian who has devoted over a quarter of a century to helping humans realise their native gifts. One of the top leadership and personal mastery experts in the world, he advises companies such as NASA, Nike, Microsoft, Starbucks, Yale University and the Young Presidents’ Organization. 

    He’s the author of several international bestsellers, including The 5AM Club and The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. In his latest book, The Wealth Money Can’t Buy: The 8 Hidden Habits to Live Your Richest Life, Robin aims to change our perception to include not just financial success but seven other essential forms of wealth, too.

    In our conversation, we explore Robin’s concept of the ‘eight forms of wealth’, including physical and mental wellness, rich family relationships, fulfilling work and strong community connections. We discuss why traditional self-help approaches often fall short, particularly in the realm of personal growth and happiness, and how society’s obsession with hustle culture and toxic positivity has exacerbated the problem of burnout and dissatisfaction.

    Robin is perhaps best known for his thriving 5AM Club community and in this episode, he shares insights on the power of intentional morning routines, including his ​​five-question morning maximiser, and the value of continuous learning. We delve into practical strategies for implementing these principles in various life situations, even for those of us who have busy schedules or family responsibilities.

    We also touch on the importance of nature, disconnecting from technology, and finding moments to savour in our daily lives. We explore the value of service, small acts of kindness, and how we can all live our lives to the fullest.

    Robin’s perspective on what it truly means to live a rich life is a powerful reminder for us all and his approach offers a much-needed alternative to the endless pursuit of material success, showing us how to create a life that's ‘wealthy’ in all the ways that matter most. I hope you enjoy listening.

    Healing Breath Meditation
    Sometimes it is easy to forget that we get so busy in our lives that we need to take a few moments to quiet down, re-connect to ourselves and the present moment, and heal from the day, week, month that has been happening. This meditation hopes to encourage you to take a few moments today and every day to just heal through the quiet persistent, never-ending present moment of our breath. Namaste.

There are many other ways and when we change it up, very often we see things differently so much so that when we come back to our old ways of doing things, we can actually see them again, as if it is the first time, with a brand new perspective. This meditation hopes to help the meditator get to that place of seeing things again, for the first time. One breath at a time.
