On this episode, I invite fellow doctor and friend Dr Ayan Panja, General Practitioner, super generalist, lifestyle medicine enthusiast and co-founder of Lobe Medical back to the podcast to talk about eating and lifestyle for our heart health.Eating for your heart as a concept, is not about food like a pill - but diet is an important consideration for protecting and promoting our heart health and it's why I ultimately believe that nutrition training is vital for all medics to grasp an understanding of, as well as the general public.Listen up because it's not just people in their 50's and 60's that need to be listening to this episode - it's actually relevant for all generations - because looking after your heart is a life long process.In this episode we talked about the following:Defined narrow inflamed arteriesWhy inflammation is important and what balances inflammationWhy a mediterranean focused diet is importantHow changing areas of your lifestyle such as sleep, stress and movement - can benefit your heart healthMinimising excess sugar and refined, processed foods in the dietOrnish lifestyle programme I really hope you enjoyed listening to the podcast - remember to subscribe on your favourite podcast player so you don't miss any future episodes.

#19 Eat For Inflammation - with Dr Jenna Macciochi
Today we have Dr Jenna back with us - this time to talk about Eating for Inflammation - you might wonder why I have an immunologist here to talk about inflammation - that will become very clear throughout our conversation.In today's podcast we talk about inflammation as a concept - why it's becoming so popular in the medical literature and why it's so relevant to a host of different medical specialties.Today we cover the following:What do we mean by inflammation?The benefits of inflammationSymptoms of inflammation imbalanceHow we measure inflammationStopping the inflammation triggersThe microbiome and inflammationObesity and inflammation imbalanceSugar and inflammationIf I was to summarise our conversation in a dietary way of life - it would be the Mediterranean diet. As we alluded to in our conversation, the Mediterranean diet is known to be anti-inflammatory, and now you have an understanding of what we mean by anti-inflammation.Inflammation isn't something that we need to radically remove entirely, its use in human biology needs to be understood. But in the context of our modern lifestyles we are usually out of balance.If you have a copy of my new book - Eat to Beat Illness - make sure you check out the page where I have a diagram looking at what is pro and what is anti-inflammatory in our modern world.
