BITESIZE | 3 Simple Dietary Tips to Improve Your Gut Health, Boost Your Energy & Reduce Inflammation | Dr Emily Leeming #575
Twenty years ago, very few scientists even knew about something called the gut microbiome. Now, with over 70,000 research papers published on the subject, this complex ecosystem, home to trillions of microorganisms, is recognised as a key factor in our physical and mental wellbeing.
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 508 of the podcast with microbiome scientist and researcher at King’s College London, Dr Emily Leeming.
We now know that our gut health plays a crucial role in everything from our immune system and our ability to respond to stress, to our skin and even our mental wellbeing.
In this clip, Emily shares some of the latest science along with some simple, practical tips for building more gut-friendly foods into your diet.
Emily is someone who is highly knowledgeable and passionate about helping us all improve the health of our guts. Her message is clear: nurturing our gut microbiome is not about following rigid rules – it’s about understanding this remarkable ecosystem and working with it, not against it.

How to Feel More Understood, Valued and Secure in Your Relationships with Alain de Botton #574
We live in a culture that often celebrates the ‘perfect’ relationship
but does little to prepare us for the reality of long-term commitment. Modern life is filled with idealised images of love and marriage – but the truth, as this week’s returning guest suggests, is far more human, messy and ultimately hopeful.
I’m delighted to welcome Alain de Botton back to the podcast. Alain is
an author, internationally acclaimed philosopher and founder of The School of Life, a hugely popular education and wellness organisation that provides guidance on how to achieve happiness and fulfilment. His latest book, ‘From Trauma to Healing: How to Locate, Process and Recover From Psychological Wounds’ helps us understand what trauma is, how it affects us and what we can do about it.
During this incredible conversation, we discuss:
Why the idea that we will “marry the right person” sets us up for disappointment
How our childhood experiences shape who we’re drawn to as adults
The hidden cost of perfectionism in relationships
The cultural myths about soulmates, instant understanding and effortless romance, and how these ideas can undermine lasting love
How unprocessed trauma can resurface in our closest relationships, and why learning to communicate our needs is an essential skill
The surprising role that distance, independence and time apart can play in sustaining desire and intimacy
There’s something deeply reassuring in knowing that love doesn’t have to look like the stories we grew up with. And by letting go of these cultural myths and by embracing each other’s flaws, we improve not only our relationships, but also how happy and contented we feel. I hope
you enjoy listening.

The Most Important Daily Habits That Could Add Decades to Your Life & Keep Your Brain Young with Dr Darshan Shah #573
Did you know that your daily habits directly affect the speed at which your brain is ageing and your risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease in the future?
This week, I'm delighted to welcome Dr Darshan Shah to the podcast. Darshan is a medical doctor, a board-certified surgeon, an expert in preventive health and the founder of Next Health, the first health optimisation and longevity centre to offer life-extending and enhancing technology and treatments.
Whilst working as a surgeon, Darshan became seriously ill with type diabetes, hypertension, an autoimmune condition, and he was told he had a 50% chance of dying in the next 25 years. This wake-up call came just as his first son was born. Rather than accepting a life dependent on medications, he immersed himself in functional medicine and completely reversed his conditions in just eight months.
During our conversation, you'll discover:
The 5 things you could start doing today that would actually increase your chances of getting Alzheimer’s
The 80/20 principle for health and how focusing on just 20% of interventions can deliver 80% of the results
Why sitting for more than four hours increases your risk of death by 15%
Why becoming the "boss of your own biology" through tracking key biomarkers could be life-saving
How inflammation from your gut and mouth can directly impact your brain health decades later
Darshan’s top supplement recommendations for longevity
This conversation challenges the notion that we can simply live intuitively in today's environment and expect to stay healthy. Darshan argues that in our current toxic world, taking an active role in monitoring and optimising our health isn't just beneficial, it's essential.
Whether you're interested in detailed health tracking or just want to learn the basics of staying well, this conversation is packed with practical advice that could transform how you think about your health. I hope you enjoy listening.

The Art of Communication: How to Stay Calm, Connected and In Control During Life’s Toughest Moments with Jefferson Fisher #571
Most of us spend our lives in conversation - yet very few of us are ever taught how to communicate well. Whether it’s with our partners, colleagues, family or friends, we often assume that being heard is the same as being understood. But true communication isn’t just about the words we use - it’s about the tone, timing and energy behind them.
This week’s guest believes that better communication can transform not only our relationships, but our health and happiness as well.
Jefferson Fisher is a trial lawyer, a sought after public speaker and the author of the brand new book, The Next Conversation: Argue Less, Talk More.
In this conversation, we explore:
Why good communication is about more than just words
The three essential principles to better communication
How to shift from reaction to reflection by making your first word your breath
What it means to “control the moment”
How to use the “I can tell…” framework to defuse tension
Why silence can be a superpower, when used correctly
How ego, fear and unspoken emotion are often the real reason for arguments
This isn’t just an episode about talking. It’s about how to listen better, show up with more intention, and move from conflict to connection – one breath, one moment, one conversation at a time. I hope you enjoy listening.
