#51 How to Heal a Moral Injury – Helping Healthcare Workers Heal Mental Wounds in the Aftermath of Coronavirus with Dr Dominic Murphy

#51 How to Heal a Moral Injury – Helping Healthcare Workers Heal Mental Wounds in the Aftermath of Coronavirus with Dr Dominic Murphy

In today’s episode I talk to Head of Research at Combat Stress, Dr Dominic Murphy.


Combat Stress are the UKs leading charity for veterans' mental health.


For a century they have been helping former servicemen and women deal with issues like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression. Today they provide specialist treatment and support for veterans from every service and conflict to give them hope and a future.


I think it would be a pragmatic choice to start discussing the mental implications of COVID- 19 on healthcare workers that have not only witnessed events but may have been involved in some huge decisions that challenge our moral code.


I'm sure that you will find our discussion today really interesting and thought provoking.


On the podcast, we talk about:


  • Dominic’s work as a Clinical Psychologist and PTSD with war veterans
  • The extent of PTSD and predisposing factors
  • What is a moral injury?
  • The relationship between moral injury and PTSD
  • Why look at moral injury - why do some people not respond well to gold standard treatments for PTSD
  • What are we doing in the UK to explore moral injury
  • Is moral injury relevant during the current COVID-19 crisis?
  • Preventative measures with food, alcohol and exercise
  • The prevalence of PTSD before the pandemic and what needs to change in both the culture of medicine and access to care

Please do be sure to check out the Combat Stress Website where they have some fantastic resources and support available and also look up their social media pages (links below)


You'll also find links on The Doctor's Kitchen Website to the papers that Dominic and I discussed on the podcast.


And don't forget to subscribe to The Doctor's Kitchen newsletter where we will be continuing to share weekly science based recipes and tips to help you live the healthiest and happiest lifestyle possible.

Snacksize 19: Train your inner child

Snacksize 19: Train your inner child

Questioning my habits and traits as an adult and leaning into the lens of childhood experiences has been pretty game changing for helping me understand the ‘why’ in my behaviours. And it’s only after understanding the ‘why’, that we can attempt to reconcile and revamp any mindsets that may not be serving us.Todays snacksize is taken from episode #105 with Katie Warriner and Emma Guns where we talk about negativity bias and the brain.Katie describes in very simple and relatable terms how even the stories we tell ourselves as children, can impact overarching beliefs in adulthood that translate into patterns of behaviour.🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube hereYou can download The Doctor’s Kitchen app for free to get access to our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.

Snacksize 18: How to resolve conflicts

Snacksize 18: How to resolve conflicts

Today’s snacksize Doctor’s Kitchen podcast is all about conflict aversion and how that permeates into our behaviours in adulthood. If you’re anything like me, I hate conflict and actively avoid it. But leaning into the uncomfortableness of what is a normal product of problem solving, is an important skill that we should all practice. Whether it’s at work, in friendships or in romantic relationships, resolving conflicts is a necessary exercise.This clip is taken from the full episode #107 about building exceptional relationships with David Bradford and Carole Robin, authors of the brilliant book ‘Connect’.🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube hereYou can download The Doctor’s Kitchen app for free to get access to our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.

#246 How to choose the best Spices with Ren Patel

#246 How to choose the best Spices with Ren Patel

I have the Queen of Spice from Ren’s Kitchen on the show today talking about everything to do with sourcing and investing in the best spices for your food, not just from a nutritional standpoint, but a flavour perspective too. I’ve always been a fan of spices for their medicinal properties, but today I was blown away by how much Ren taught me about spices and I was shocked at how different spices can taste in their raw whole form.Ren has been in the spice business for years and has some of the best chefs and restaurants use her spices. Tom Kerridge, Bubala, Palomar, Raffles hotel, Ottolenghi to name a few.Remember, spices add diversity to your plate – they count as 1/4 point each and we’re aiming for 30 different plant points a week! Even used in small amounts, the addition of spices is suggested to improve gut microbiome composition and reduce markers of inflammation. Plus they have been part of the diet of human populations for thousands of years and add a ton of flavour.Today we talk what we’re doing WRONG when using spices, what Ren has taught people in her cooking classes and how to source correctly and how to spot the best spices in the market.You can find out more about Ren and Rens Pantry on her website renspantry.com. 🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here📱 Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app for free*🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our website*The Doctor's Kitchen App gives you access to all of our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.

BONUS Make Better Bread with Karen O’Donoghue

BONUS Make Better Bread with Karen O’Donoghue

Karen O’Donoghue is a champion for not only better bread, but also better food quality, choices and better growing methods.You can hear the passion in Karens message and I love her commitment to the craft of sourcing, fermenting and baking. She’s a force, and I love her energy. I think you will too.Soaking and sprouting is clearly something Karen believes we should be doing more of. And if I think back to traditional methods of cooking in my families kitchen, these vital steps are things that we wouldn’t have skipped. Soaking peas, nuts and seeds. Combining specific spices and herbs with them. This is an artform that increases the nutritional value of our food, but is rapidly being lost as we move toward more convenience and speed. Something that I realise I’m guilty of myself in todays podcast.Karen and her company, Happy Tummy Co inform people about the need to spend more on health, invest in the soil and re-engage with the food supply. I love the message and the enthusiasm. As uncomfortable as it may be to hear the hard truths presented in an unforgiving way, I think sometimes it’s important to hear the message in it’s raw form.You can check out Karen’s bread, recipes and idyllic bakery in Ireland at www.thehappytummyco.com PLUS, we cooked up her scones and an incredible Teff porridge in the studio that you can find on YouTube. 🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here📱 Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app for free*🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our website*The Doctor's Kitchen App gives you access to all of our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.

Snacksize 17: How to overcome resistance to habits

Today’s snacksize Doctor’s Kitchen podcast is all about embracing the framework and mechanisms that drive both change and inaction. If you understand the drivers of both, then behaviour change becomes a lot easier.Understand the blockers and motivators for your desired outcome and intentionally design the perfect environment bit by bit. Journaling is a great practice for this and it’s something that I’ve been putting into practice more recently as I try and carve out time to write my next book.This clip is taken from the full episode #100 Four Lifestyle Equations Everyone needs to know, where I talk about a selection of formulas that I try and put into practice each day.🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube hereYou can download The Doctor’s Kitchen app for free to get access to our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.
