Summary
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 arteries
- Why inflammation is important and what balances inflammation
- Why a mediterranean focused diet is important
- How changing areas of your lifestyle such as sleep, stress and movement - can benefit your heart health
- Minimising excess sugar and refined, processed foods in the diet
- Ornish 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.

| 0:00.0 | Today's podcast is sponsored by Zoe and I'm pretty convinced that anyone listening to this |
| 0:04.7 | podcast right now has an invested interest in health. Maybe you've tried the recipes, |
| 0:09.6 | taken advice from guests, all like me you see food as medicine. But to any of you ever feel like |
| 0:15.4 | you're doing all the right stuff to live a healthy lifestyle but you still feel fatigued in the |
| 0:20.8 | afternoons. It could be because the advice that we give to most people simply isn't enough |
| 0:27.0 | for your unique body. And I'm a believer that personalized nutrition could be beneficial if you |
| 0:32.8 | find yourself in this pattern. And Zoe's groundbreaking science does what generic advice can't do. They |
| 0:39.1 | look at your blood fat and blood sugar control and you've got microbiome to help you understand how |
| 0:44.8 | different foods affect your body so you can feel your best. Nailing your own nutrition can have huge |
| 0:50.5 | benefits on long term health as well as relieving more immediate problems like fatigue. So magnesium |
| 0:56.0 | supplements for example can help one person sleep better but they might have little effect on |
| 1:00.3 | someone else. And as Professor Tim said in our conversation personalized nutrition takes away |
| 1:06.5 | that trial and error and that very long process of trying to figure out what's going on inside |
| 1:10.8 | your body on your own. Zoe has been genuinely life changing for its members who've reported feeling |
| 1:17.3 | less tired after lunch and that the energy levels are far more consistent. Discover what eating for |
