In this fascinating episode of Live Well, Be Well, I sit down with Professor Gideon Lack, one of the worldâs foremost experts on allergies. We dive deep into the rising prevalence of allergies, exploring the two significant waves of the allergy epidemicârespiratory and food-relatedâand what they mean for us today.
Professor Lack sheds light on the hygiene hypothesis, explaining how modern cleanliness impacts our immune systems and the skin barrier, potentially leading to allergies. We also discuss his pioneering LEAP study, which found that introducing peanuts early in life dramatically reduces the risk of peanut allergiesâa revelation thatâs reshaped allergy prevention guidelines.
We cover why some people develop allergies later in life, practical tips for managing both respiratory and food allergies, and the role pets and a less sanitised environment might play in reducing allergic conditions. Whether youâre curious about allergy prevention for infants or navigating allergies on a plant-based diet, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you live well.
About Professor Gideon Lack
Professor Gideon Lack is a leading paediatric allergist and researcher at Kingâs College London. His work has transformed our understanding of allergies, particularly through his landmark LEAP study.

In this episode of Live Well, Be Well, I sit down with Dr. Stacy Sims, who joins us all the way from New Zealand, to debunk the biggest myths surrounding womenâs health. This conversation is all about understanding why âwomen are not small menâ and why so much generic health adviceâfasting, calorie counting, and trendy fitness routinesâcan actually do more harm than good for women.
We discuss everything from the role of protein in a womanâs diet to the truth about Zone 2 training and the risks of Ozempic. Dr. Sims highlights why women need to stop trying to fit into the male-centric fitness and health narrative and instead focus on what truly works for our unique physiology.
This is an episode every woman needs to hearâand one to share with the women you care about.
What Youâll Learn:Why women need health advice tailored to their physiology, not based on menâs studies.Why fasting may be detrimental to active women.The crucial role of protein in supporting womenâs hormones, metabolism, and lean muscle.How Zone 2 training fits into a womanâs workout routineâand why itâs not the âgolden childâ for womenâs health.How oral contraceptives can affect your mood, health, and performance.The truth about Ozempic and why quick fixes for weight loss are risky.Follow Dr. Stacy Sims:

My guest for today is Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals and Meditations for Mortals. We look into the paradox of productivity, exploring why our relentless pursuit of doing more doesn't necessarily lead to a happier or more fulfilling life. Oliver shares insights on how letting go of the impossible quest to "get it all done" can open the door to genuine fulfilment and peace of mind.
By embracing self-compassion and seeing imperfection as a strength, we uncover how personally redefining success can transform our approach to life. Oliver offers practical strategies to help us shift our focus from constant busyness to making more meaningful choices with our finite time.

In this clip, my guest is Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, a renowned neuroscientist and psychologist specializing in the science of emotion. We delve into the fascinating concept of the brain's "body budget"âhow our brains predict and regulate the needs of our bodies through a process called allostasis.
Lisa explains how disruptions in this body budgeting system can manifest as depression and anxiety, essentially viewing depression as a "bankrupt" body budget. We discuss the profound connection between our physical state and our emotions, and how changing the meanings we assign to our physical sensations can transform anxiety into determination.
This episode offers actionable insights to help you retrain your brain, manage your emotions, and foster a healthier mind-body relationship.

In this clip, my guest is Dr. Kanchan Koya, Ph.D., a molecular biologist and health coach who specializes in the health benefits of spices. We discuss the surprising and powerful effects of incorporating culinary amounts of spices into everyday meals. We also explore recent human studies demonstrating how small additions of spice blends can significantly reduce markers of inflammation, even when added to a standard Western diet.
We clarify the difference between spices and herbs, highlighting that while spices come from various parts of the plant like roots, stems, seeds, and bark, and herbs are derived from leaves, both offer overlapping health benefits due to their rich polyphenol and phytochemical content. Dr. Koya shares practical tips on integrating spices into your diet by enhancing the foods you already love, starting with three to five accessible spices like turmeric (paired with black pepper), cinnamon, and others.
Start now with these actionable insights into how simple meal additions can profoundly reduce inflammation, improve metabolic health, and enhance overall well-being.

Dr. Shefali, a psychologist and author, explains the 'shadow self' - a part of us we often ignore. She shows how this hidden side can make us seek control and approval from others, even when we think we're just being helpful or trying our best.
Through real-life examples, Dr. Shefali challenges what we think about self-love. She argues that true self-acceptance means facing our fears and insecurities head-on, not hiding from them. She explains why we sometimes lie to ourselves and how to stop.
The clip gives practical ways to better understand ourselves and break free from always needing others' approval. Dr. Shefali teaches us how to align our thoughts, feelings, and actions to live more honestly and happily. By using these ideas, viewers can learn to be more true to themselves and improve their mental health.
