Our guest this week is Dr. Stephan Guyenet, a respected neurobiologist, health advocate and author. We discuss the way our brain can affect our attempts at health improvement, and how we can find ourselves fighting against our own body when it comes to fat loss. Junk foods which are calorie-dense can disrupt brain processes and leave the body thinking it needs to increase fat levels. Reducing food intake on fasts and fad diets can therefore leave the body reacting to starvation. Eating healthily should make you feel good, and if you are balancing your nutrients. Adjust your food levels as you go along, and stick with the things that make you feel better. Nutritional diets need to adapt as our circumstances change - and as we get older. With hormonal changes happening when we age, estrogen levels drop in women. This makes it harder to lose fat - especially around the middle. We talk to Dr. Stephan about his work on Dan's Plan - designed to help people become aware of factors that affect health, and to make changes that will have you feeling better. Track your progress towards your goals, and be mindful of the reality of your experience. When you start to find the right levels for you, your cravings should reduce and you should start to enjoy the new foods you are eating.

Our guest for this week's episode is Dr. Mark Goulston, a respected psychiatrist and consultant - and author of several best-selling books. We discuss those reasons why people fall off the wagon when it comes to health and fitness, and how we allow stress to knock us off course. Seeking comfort in food after a difficult encounter or event is often the downfall in many diets. Equally, feeling disheartened with daily stresses and problem people can lead to the use of breaking from goals as a reward. Dr. Mark talks about the techniques we can all use to reassess how we handle impulses, such as taking the time to reflect on choices before we act with an 8-step pause. We also discuss how to overcome obstacles thrown up by difficult people through calm negotiations and helping them to feel important and wanted. We also talk about how you need to be the advocate of your own health if you are going to get results. Don't be afraid to challenge your doctor, and make sure you know what outcome you hope for before you go to appointments - that way you can push for a positive result.   Further reading from Dr. Mark Goulston Visit Dr. Mark's website here Find Dr. Mark on Twitter @MarkGoulston Order Talking to Crazy: How to Deal with the Irrational and Impossible People in Your Life Order Just Listen: Discover the Secret to Getting Through to Absolutely Anyone Order Get Out of Your Own Way: Overcoming Self-Defeating Behavior Don't forget to leave us a review in iTunes!

In this week's episode, we're sitting down with life coach and author Laura Coe to discuss her work on 'emotional obesity' and to discover how positive, healthy thinking can turn our lives around. Getting healthy isn't just a physical process, it's a mental one as well. Laura tells us about her own journey through chronic illness and over-medication, and how changing her diet turned her health around - leaving her looking and feeling better than ever. However, when many of us do win our personal health battles, we can find that we're not actually feeling better. Our health may have improved, but we're still tied to negative choices and thinking negative thoughts. These heavy thoughts weigh us down, leading to a state of emotional obesity. Recognizing and overcoming this is the key to getting the life you want, advises Laura. Becoming emotionally fit is as hard as a physical health battle, but using affirmative exercises and focusing on your goals can unlock your potential and help you discover more about the true and authentic you. You can get yourself back on the right path and start making the changes that will give you the life you want.

Guest Lindsey Jean is with us today to discuss the effects of prescription medication and diet on conditions such as ADD, and how over-medicating can be dangerous to health and cause serious complications. Is our tendency to give out pills to children putting their health at risk, and are there better ways to manage conditions that affect concentration and behavior? Lindsey tells us about her own experiences as a child with hyperactive tendencies, under-encouraged at school and at home, and written off as 'hard to handle' and 'naughty'. Used to a diet of processed food and take-outs coupled with the sedative medications prescribed by doctors, she eventually found herself with liver failure from the pills and battling excess weight from her diet. Making changes in her lifestyle one step at a time, Lindsey has been able to overcome those hurdles and get herself back to peak health. We discuss how people can be distracted from their goals and how commitment is the key. Technology can also be greatly beneficial - make sure to read up on the information available and search for answers to your own health queries. Don't be afraid to challenge your doctor if something isn't working out for you, and always aim to be the CEO of your own health.

In this week's episode, our guest is Dr. Randy Jirtle. Dr. Jirtle is a respected scientist working in the field of epigenetics, and he called in to tell us all about that work and how it affects our health and our wellbeing. We take a look at how our body's DNA can be modified in the pre-natal phase through dietary supplements and how genetic testing can break down more deeply to give us a clearer picture of our individual health. Dr. Jirtle also talks to us about the influence our diet has on our health and how we need to learn to be flexible, adapting what we eat to our age, our circumstances and our needs. Taking into account our changing needs and striving to maintain a healthy balance is the key to long-term wellbeing. This should also be considered when approaching exercise: small steps build you up and help your body recover, while overdoing things is likely to put you off your quest and leave you feeling demotivated. We consider how changes to your diet and lifestyle, an understanding of your own genetic structure and a willingness to adapt to what your body needs might help reduce the need for artificial medication and lead to better management of enduring health conditions.

In this week's episode, our guest is Dr. Tami Meraglia. A leading practitioner in the fields of cosmetic and integrative naturopathic medicine, Dr. Tami works with patients and through online services to change how we approach our health and to help us focus on the right areas of wellness. We discuss Dr. Tami's own background as a classical ballet dancer and her route into medicine, and discover more about the personal health journey she has taken. We also look in depth at some common health issues, such as osteoporosis and insomnia, and discuss overcoming stress for better health. By becoming the "CEO of your own health" and taking control of the chemical balances in your body, you can find ways to eat yourself well. Dr. Tami tells us how important the role of hormones is in our wellness quests as well - particularly progesterone and testosterone, which can dramatically affect our metabolism. Levels of testosterone can be affected by sugar, studies suggest. If you balance your hormone levels, you'll be well on your way to managing your health and feeling better.

In today's episode, we're speaking with one of the key advocates of the Paleo diet: Dr. Loren Cordain. If Dr. Loren's name sounds familiar, it's because he's the author of bestseller The Paleo Diet and widely credited as a founding father of the modern Paleo lifestyle. We discuss how Paleolithic eating came about, and just what it means. As a label often attached to modern diets, deciding exactly what is Paleo and what isn't can be tricky. So where should you start? We talk about those four major food groups to avoid: refined sugars, refined grains, oils and dairy products. We also discuss how grass produced meat, seafood, poultry and in-season vegetables and fruit have great health benefits. Beating disease by eating yourself well is possible, and researchers such as Dr. Loren are paving the way with their insightful studies. We also look at Dr. Loren's work in the field of skincare and nutrition, discussing how the right foods can make you feel great both outside and inside. And finally, we tackle the topic of mixing up your diet and combining different food elements - is it dangerous to bring modern foods into a Paleo plan, and how should meal planning be approached if you're trying out Paleo? If you'd like to add to the discussion, get in touch with us and send us your comments.

We sit down this week and talk with George Bryant, who is the author of New York Times' bestseller The Paleo Kitchen. The chef, healthy eating advocate and former Marine shares his personal health story with us. We discuss how he got on the road to recovery and wellness, and take a look at the changes you could apply to your own diet and lifestyle. Could 'freeform Paleo' be the answer you're looking for? A strict diet is great if you're taking in the right nutrients, but what works for someone might not be right for another. If you feel your body is missing out because of a restrictive diet, introduce things back in that suit you and your needs. Be prepared to try things out, and don't be disheartened if something doesn't work out. Keep trying and strive for your goals. We discuss The Paleo Kitchen and how it could help you with your own health problems. Follow the meal plans suggested or create your own: use the information available and change your own eating habits for the better. Healthy eating is something to be excited about, and if you're doing what works for you and enjoying it, you're much more likely to succeed.

Today we're sitting down with Andrea Beaman to discuss the impact of thyroid problems and how a healthy, holistic and nutrition-based management plan can make a bigger difference than medication. The right food and lifestyle can trigger a boost in your immune system and have you feeling better. Some of the key ways you can change your habits include cooking in bulk to save yourself time and keep your diet plan on track, and selecting fresher foods from local farmers' markets to maximize your nutritional intake. You can also find a whole host of spices and condiments at these markets to add flavor to your meals and improve leftovers. Eating right can have such an important effect on your health and wellbeing, and we discuss some of the ways that you can bring healthy eating into your own routine. We also chat about how traditional responses to the discovery of the BCRA gene may be more extreme than is appropriate, and discuss whether there could be more benefit from a change in diet and lifestyle than in irreversible surgeries. A tendency towards an illness is not a guarantee of getting it, and a healthier lifestyle could prevent the problem occurring without the need to go under the knife.

In today's episode, we speak with author, blogger and health advocate Lea Valle about her fantastic Paleo recipes - including a whole host of delicious desserts that are gluten-free and dairy-free. We also discuss Lea's personal health and weight loss journey, and what led her to finding the healthy lifestyle she follows today. Following an MS diagnosis, Lea followed an MS-friendly diet she found online but didn't see any real results. On losing weight, Lea's health issues continued - so she looked further into elimination diets and Paleo. A few years on and with a second opinion - coeliac disease - Lea was able to start resolving her health problems through her diet. Today, she is free from pain and feeling fantastic! We discuss those tasty recipes she's been cooking up, too. Many people who restrict their diet for health reasons feel that they can't have treats any more, or that feeding a fussy young family will be difficult. Lea's recipes range from pizza crust to banana bread and from chocolate chip cookies to cashew cheesecake. Have you tried any of these recipes, or do you have your own to add? Leave us a comment and get involved in the discussion below.

In this week's episode, we're talking with Sarah Ballantyne about her own health and weight loss journey. A biophysicist, leading academic and popular health blogger, Sarah's whole family have benefited from her wellness discoveries and are firm advocates of the Paleo diet. Just how did Sarah go from being apartment-bound with a chronic and enduring illness to achieving the healthy, full lifestyle she has today? Her journey started like many of ours did - with fast weight loss that uncovered an ongoing range of health problems. A functional medicine advocate and accomplished academic, she used science to tackle her issues and found that through Paleo and elimination diets, certain aspects of her condition could be reduced and controlled: while still keeping her weight down. This enabled her to drop prescription medicines and resume an active life, free from pain and illness. Sarah regularly blogs about her experiences, and has now introduced the rest of her family to Paleo. Her blog has lots of advice for moms looking to help their kids with health issues - or simply to introduce healthy eating habits early in life. We talk about some of the challenges and benefits Paleo diets have for children.

How does hormone replacement therapy affect your health, and what is the difference between natural and synthetic hormones? The idea of any kind of HRT can be scary - but there are a lot of ways that they can work to balance your body and improve your health. Dr. Lo is with us this week to discuss the importance of hormone balance in successful weight loss and improved health. We take a look at bio-identical hormones, how they match your personal biology and how the right balance can be the key to unlocking good health. Dr. Lo - or Dr. Lauren Noel - is a naturopathic practitioner and health advocate who owns Shine Natural Medicine. How does stress affect your health and fitness? We also take a good look at the effects of sleep deprivation and stress on the body, and talk about setting up the best morning routine to get your day started - and kickstart your body, too. Whether you walk, meditate or do some yoga, a light morning activity gets your body working: shut it down again at night with a good sleep routine. Your medication could also be affecting your health, so look at ways to reduce your reliance on these when possible.

In this short in-between episode I talk about the mental game and how friends may not be helpful when you begin to make chnages in your lifestyle. My interview with Charlie Hoehn click here Charlie Hoehn Timothy Ferriss > Quotes   Timothy Ferriss quotes (showing 1-30 of 276) “For all of the most important things, the timing always sucks. Waiting for a good time to quit your job? The stars will never align and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn't conspire against you, but it doesn't go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect. "Someday" is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. Pro and con lists are just as bad. If it's important to you and you want to do it "eventually," just do it and correct course along the way.”― Timothy Ferriss, The 4-Hour Workweek 138 likes Like “But you are the average of the five people you associate with most, so do not underestimate the effects of your pessimistic, unambitious, or disorganized friends. If someone isn't making you stronger, they're making you weaker.”― Timothy Ferriss, 

In this week's episode, Dr. Tom Malterre is with us to discuss his work on The Elimination Diet, and we take a look at the effects of gluten and other food products on conditions such as autism. Functional medicine shows us that food is the key to good health, but putting that into practice can be tricky. The Elimination Diet focuses on removing those substances which are harmful to your health and discovering what is causing your health issues. If inflammation and irritation are common for you, food is a powerful medicine that will calm your digestive tract. Dr. Tom uses functional medicine in his role at the Autism Research Institute, and he shares with us some insights into the effects of diet on autism spectrum disorders. Intolerance to gluten and other substances can make aspects of the condition harder to deal with, and changing a child's diet can make a big difference. Adults will also benefit from a functional medicine approach. If you're making your first steps towards going gluten free or trying to figure out what is making you feel so tired and sick, check out Dr. Tom's book The Elimination Diet for information, advice and recipes.

In this week's episode, Shawn Stevenson is back with us to discuss another aspect of successful weight loss and health: getting enough sleep. It's all too easy to neglect the body's need for sleep, but studies show that a lack of sleep can be catastrophic for the body's healing and detoxifying systems. While we sleep, our brain rests and works on repairing the damage of the day: without sleep, you find yourself burning vital nutrients and setting yourself up for a difficult day. Shawn talks to us about the balance between melatonin and cortisol, and how a lack of magnesium could be affecting your sleep. It has been shown that poor quality sleep makes weight loss harder and exacerbates health problems: if you're looking to get healthy and fit, start with addressing your sleeping habits. Shawn's top tips for getting better sleep include imposing a screen curfew at night, and getting moving in the morning when you wake. Both of these things will help toward improving the amount of deep sleep you get. We also look at the difficulties associated with certain medications and their impact on health: could alternative or functional medicine be the answer to your health issues?

In today's episode, we've got two great guests to speak to you about their new book. Dr. Jayson Calton and wife Mira Calton are leading nutritionists who have written two bestselling books on lifestyle and food choices. Their third, The Micronutrient Miracle: The 28-Day Plan to Lose Weight, Increase Your Energy, and Reverse Disease, is now available through Amazon, and the couple spoke to us about what micronutrients are - and how they fit in to your quest for good health and weight loss. Under the guidance of Jayson and through a great deal of research and investigating, Mira was able to overcome her own struggles with osteoporosis and bring herself back to full fitness. This journey together has led to a partnership which now seeks to help others find their own way back to health. Micronutrients are those essential substances the body needs to survive, and include vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids. Macronutrients, on the other hand, include the carbs and fats that we're often told to avoid. Mira and Jayson advise that finding a balance is essential: much like an orchestra needs the right number of instruments and for all members to be present, the body needs all of the right components and in the correct quantities if it is to do a good job. Having an excess of one nutrient but a lack of another is likely to cause damage, so finding a balance in your diet is vital.

In this week's episode, we sit down with blogger and health guru Jimmy Moore to discuss his new Ketogenic Cookbook, and to look at the issues surrounding cholesterol and weight loss. Following his own weight loss experience through the Atkins program, Jimmy has started a voyage of discovery and is a well-known figure in the health and fitness field through his blogs and podcasts. We look at the issues surrounding cholesterol and how doctors' test results can be misleading or wrongly interpreted - especially following a major change in body size and weight. Medication is often better replaced with lifestyle changes, such as selecting the right foods. Processed foods almost always contain refined starches, sugars, salts and oils: reducing or removing the intake of these foods will help those cholesterol levels as well as reducing inflammation. Jimmy also talks with us about the importance of ketone levels, and how encouraging nutritional ketosis through your diet could not only assist you in your quest for weight loss, but could actually work to heal your body - and you could discover some tasty new dishes along the way!

Heart disease is the top cause of death amongst men and women, and a leading contributor in many illness and health problems - but what can we do to combat it? Many doctors and medical advisers are taking a functional approach to health and integrating nutrition, supplements and activity with traditional pharmaceutical-based treatments. In this week's episode, we speak to Dr. Anna Cabeca about the upcoming Healthy Heart Summit and the importance of lifestyle in managing health. Many health problems, especially those related to aging and in particular for women's health, can be targeted through the simple principle of 'stop something, start something. In other words, you make one positive change in your lifestyle at the same time as stopping a negative behavior. Over time, these small changes - such as cutting out sugar and gluten or taking up walking - will start to make a big difference to your overall health. We also discuss the importance of sexual health and wellbeing, and how sexual problems could be indicative of a broader disorder or illness. Dr. Anna tells us about her 'Sexier, Younger You' program and the ways that women can really focus on their health through their lifestyles and attitudes, reducing stress, fatigue and other symptoms as well as impacting illnesses. Through nutrition and supplements, you could find yourself reducing your reliance on traditional medicines.

Dr. Daniel Kalish is with us this week to discuss what functional medicine is and how it can help you on your journey to wellness. If you're finding that conventional medicine is struggling to find a cause for your symptoms but has ruled out any life-threatening cause, integrative and functional medicine may have the solution. Dealing with long term chronic health problems such as pain, fatigue, weight issues and depression can all benefit from an alternative approach, and Dr. Kalish has been working to find a solution for patients for over two decades. Through the Wellness Center and the Kalish Institute, practitioners are blending scientific medicine with natural cures to solve deep-rooted, non-urgent health problems that conventional medicine isn't placed to take time over. Lab testing will determine the cause of the problem, which tends to lie in four main areas: the liver, the brain, the hormonal system or the digestive system. Sometimes a combination of health issues can be at work. Once the imbalance has been identified, therapies and remedies can be suggested for the patient. Listen in to see how this functional approach to wellness could impact your own routine and answer the questions you have about your own health.

With thousands of people reporting successes through following the plan, we wanted to take a look to see how this diet might benefit our listeners. Dr. Paul started investigating his own health back in 2005 after noticing changes relating to age, and discovered the Paleo diet. Although the original anti-carbohydrate Paleo plan had some great benefits, Paul also noticed areas of his health that were negatively affected, and began research into which nutrients were missing in the Paleo plan and needed supplementing into his diet. Through this research, the Perfect Health Diet was created. Dr. Paul tells us about the advantages of the plan, and discusses how important your relationship with your food is. Cooking is a vital part of eating, and taking the time to prepare your foods can make you much more mindful of what you're eating and why. Vitamins, carbs and proteins are all necessary to health and varying the Paleo diet to your own needs can see more health benefits for you.

In this week's episode, we speak to respected public speaker, health advocate and private practitioner Dr. Jack Kruse about his own health journey and the systems he has developed to help others manage their weight loss and health improvement goals. From a twist on the typical Paleo diet to the pitfalls of calorie counting, Dr. Jack tells us how we can make a difference with small everyday changes to our own routines. Exactly what is the Leptin Prescription Theory, and how does it help with metabolism improvement and weight loss? We discuss the theory and its benefits, and the ways that you can get involved with Dr. Jacks' wellness philosophies. A common trap dieters hit is that of calorie counting and regular weigh-ins, which can be demotivating and raise stress levels. Instead, concentrate on cutting out processed foods and replacing with high-protein, unprocessed food plans that bring in the right nutrients and balance your body. Dr. Jack has achieved personal success in weight loss and health regain and has plenty of secrets he can share with the rest of us. Find out new ways to approach your quest for wellbeing and fitness.We also discuss some further reading that listeners may like to undertake.

In the program this week, stand-up comedian and filmmaker Tom Naughton talks to us about his updated director's cut of Fathead, a 2009 documentary response to Supersize Me, and to discuss the issues of wellness and weight loss. Are misconceptions about healthy eating harming your chances of success? Could well meaning but wrong dietary choices be setting you back on your mission for healthy weight loss? Tom tells us about his own experiences and successes with paleo dieting and other lifestyle changes, and offers advice for others in the same boat. Listen in to find out more about the effects of processed sugars, and how the right dietary fats should be embraced rather than rejected. Many diet and fitness programs concentrate heavily on weigh-ins, BMI and cutting out fats, when in reality carbohydrates and sugars are far more damaging. Once certain problem foods such as carbohydrates are cut from your diet or reduced managably, you should start noticing real change in how you look and feel. Don't obsess over the scale - it's better to avoid checking entirely, or to have a friend keep track for you, so that you're not becoming demotivated over natural fluctuations and instead are seeing the whole picture. We also consider the agricultural implications of paleo dieting and how everything from soil condition to plant types can affect the nutritional value of fresh produce. The fresher the better, and many tasty and healthy things can be grown at your own home - saving you money while helping you to get healthy. Tom Naughton will be speaking at Low Carb Cruise - check their website for details The directors cut of 'Fathead' can be viewed via the iTunes store, and is available on Hulu and Amazon Instant We'll be taking a look at Tom's new book in the future: keep listening in for updates!

In this week's episode, Dr Tracey Marks of BeyondBurnout.com talks to us about the body's physical and mental reactions to stress and how overworking our minds can lead to health problems. Stress can manifest physically through insomnia, lack of energy, irritability and a struggle to enjoy activities. If you're not feeling at your best, you'll find it hard to stick to your fitness routine or you'll find yourself slipping into bad habits. Discover how stress might be affecting you, and what you can do to fix the problem. We discuss some of the ways that stress can be overcome. Taking a break during your busy day can be a great way to recharge your batteries and appreciate the moment you're in, instead of worrying about what's coming up next. Consider downloading a meditation app such as HeadSpace to guide you through some easy stress-busting exercises. By taking time to reset, your mind will be refreshed and you'll be more ready to handle challenges. We also take a look at the effects of processed sugar on the body and the best ways to detox from processed foods. Hidden sugars are everywhere, but there are great benefits to be had by taking the time to avoid them. Natural sugars can also be damaging to health too - limit intake of fruit and other high sugar items to avoid insulin spikes and to keep your body balanced and healthy. Finally, this episode considers the small changes we can make in our day to day lives to ensure that we feel better and are prepared to tackle the challenge of wellness, forming good, positive habits for fitness and weight loss.

Listeners are keen to know how to measure progress, so in this week's episode we'll look at how to make sure that your efforts are having a positive effect on your weight, fitness and health. If you're looking to find out how to track your progress without meeting those common setbacks, listen in to this week's discussion now to hear the solutions and to learn how to measure your journey. Losing weight and getting fit is a learning process, and sometimes things may not go as planned. If you do fall off the wagon or if you don't get the fast result you hoped for, you might become disillusioned and give in. Monitoring your progress will ensure that your changes are working, but by enlisting a friend or family member to record your weigh-ins and other data, you can avoid seeing the results until you've reached your milestones. This means that you'll see the positive results for what they really are, and you can work on areas to improve. Establish your baseline through BMI testing, and then develop the great habits you need to improve your health while stopping bad habits that are holding you back from reaching your potential. Don't try to make too many changes at once, and look for helpful products and apps to support you, as well as enlisting the help of loved ones.

In this week's episode, we look at habitual behaviors: how they are formed and how to overcome the negative ones. Negative habits in your diet and lifestyle, such as regular alcohol drinking or consuming processed sugar, can make your quest for good health and weight loss much more difficult. However, positive habits can make a real difference to your day to day life and get you feeling more relaxed, balanced and healthy. A great way to tackle bad habits it to swap them for good ones. Learn more about the ways you can make small but effective behavioral improvements and changes, and how they can get you on the path to a happy, healthy lifestyle. For example, taking magnesium baths, swapping alcohol for tea and using the Take Ten app are all steps we discuss this week: small but positive changes that will make a difference to your wellbeing. Over time, habits become normal to us and we just do them without thinking. Programming your brain with these good habits may take a little time and effort at first, but before long will become automatic to you. Once these good habits are natural to you, you'll find it much easier to bring in new habits as well and take an all-round approach to becoming happier and healthier.

In this episode I discuss how not to get overwhelmed when you have decided to make a change in your lifestyle. Start at the shallow end of the pool first - don't jump in at the deep end. Building up little successes will give you the drive to succeed, rather than becoming swamped by restrictions across your whole diet. This week's episode is packed full of tips to help you make your changes one at a time. So what small steps can be taken? Start by adding two cups of vegetables to each meal, before looking to cut out problematic food groups. Reduce rather than withdraw, so that you're not putting your body through too much stress. You can also bring a probiotic supplement into your diet to rebalance your insides and undo damage caused by processed foods, or add fish oil for nutritional benefits and repair benefits. Equally, if you're taking on a new workout strategy don't just head off to the gym - speak to your physician or an orthopedic specialist and make sure that your exercise plans won't cause more harm than good. Make changes on a week by week basis, rather than taking everything on at once. You'll be much more likely to succeed if you can see the changes happen, so focus on one change at a time. It might help to keep a food and activity diary during this time, so you can see how different foods and exercise routines are affecting you.

When you're looking to get healthy and improve your fitness, have you considered the environment you live in? If you're living in a cluttered, disordered world, you're not fully focused on the things that are important to you: your health and wellbeing. The principles of Feng Shui focus around the balance of energy flow in your body and in your home, removing physical and metaphorical blockages to cleanse your body and allow it to heal. This week, Feng Shui expert Cathi Hargaden talks to us about how you can bring the ideas of Chinese philosophy into your own life to tackle issues that affect your physical health, such as stress or insomnia. If you're not sleeping well, your body can't heal and rejuvenate - not great for getting into shape and feeling fantastic. By making changes to your environment, you could see real change in your physical self as well. In the modern world, we're surrounded by technology and therefore by electricity. Could this explain why we find it so hard to shut off at night? There's a lot of things in our surroundings that might be affecting us, and Cathi talks us through some of the changes you can make, and how they can work. If you would like to find out more about Feng Shui or arrange a private consultation, you can visit Cathi's website at www.fengshuimasteryshow.com To see real examples of Feng Shui in action and to discover how the techniques work, go to www.fengshuimasteryshow.com Got a question for us about this week's episode?

How can stress have a negative effect on your mental capabilities? What is the link between our brain's performance and our body's condition? And how can you improve your all-round wellbeing? That's the discussion in this week's podcast, as Dr David Jockers tells us about his new book, 'Supercharge Your Brain: The Complete Guide to Radically Improve Your Mood, Memory and Mindset'. Our bodies are controlled by chemicals which were originally intended as part of our survival system. Now, these hormonal changes often come into play because of stress and other factors, and these hormones can create a 'brain fog' which clouds our view and leads to physical problems, too. Seize control of your mind and body with a better understanding of the mental processes and the biological reactions that you go through, and learn how to achieve optimal health by learning with your mind and your body over time. You could soon start to see a change in your fitness levels, your available energy, your mental capabilities and your enthusiasm for life, all starting with small changes to your outlook and your routine.

Looking to make healthy eating choices, but worried about the costs? Think that farmers' markets are just for chefs and professionals? Organic, locally sourced food is often thought to be expensive and out of reach for home cooks, but Mark 'Farmer Mark' Anderson is here to bust those myths and to tell us about his farmers' market program that's sweeping across Los Angeles and the Orange County. Local farmers can supply high quality fresh produce at prices to match or even beat grocery store rates, and the fresh food they produce is second to none. We speak to Farmer Mark about his surprising journey from the business world to agriculture, and how his five newly established farmers' markets have gone from strength to strength. These markets are part of rising movement to make organic, healthy and fresh produce available to shoppers, and to help us all make better choices about the food we eat. Not only can you discover a new world of tastes and textures, you can speak to the growers and discover more about the food you eat. We also look at how demand for fresh produce is growing, as Mark tells us to vote with our forks and to shop locally, encouraging better foods and a trend towards openness when it comes to food retail.
