Summary

Hello, and welcome to an episode of On the Edge with Andrew Gold with today’s guest, award-winning science author and TV presenter Dr. Stuart Farrimond, who’ll be talking about how to live the perfect day, from your sleep and your coffee in the morning, to your work habits and commutes, and your exercise and evening routine.

In the US and probably Canada, it’s known as Live your Best Life – link in the show notes. It’s a gorgeous book, really beautifully designed, and would make for a wonderful present for someone. Each page has a question, such as Why is waking up so hard, why do I have bad breath when I wake up, will skipping breakfast make me fat, will wearing a coat indoors mean I’m colder when I go out and is my phone ruining my sex life. Each question and page is adorned with lovely images and graphs that are really accessible and easy, even for someone of my limited neural capacities. We have a fun and interesting chat. Things do get a little heavier in the final third of today’s episode, as Stuart talks about undergoing surgery for a brain tumour. He speaks emotionally but also informatively about the subject and provides some inspirational pearls of wisdom to end on. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

0:28.4	exercise and evening routine. Before going on about the lovely Stuart, I just want to
0:34.2	shamelessly boast that you're listening to the UK's number one ranked
0:38.5	podcast in the documentary category of Apple Podcasts, where it is also in the new and noteworthy curation.
0:45.5	That means there are loads of new listeners.
0:47.6	Welcome to the show.
0:48.6	I hope you enjoy it.
0:49.6	Old listeners, play nice, show them the ropes, what am I talking about?
0:54.0	Seriously though, I started this podcast just six months ago, so listen to this.
0:59.6	The first month had only four listens. The following month had over 200 listens. Now the podcast is a full-time job and a busy
1:08.6	one at that so it means basically not sleeping so I had to weigh up at that
1:12.3	point whether it was worth continuing the show
1:14.8	with just 200 listens.
1:17.2	What kept me going, and I mean this, was the abundance of lovely, kind and uplifting
1:22.1	messages from you listeners, which has continued steadily to this day.
1:27.2	I kept going and last month, December, we had 30,000 listens in that month alone and last week the show passed a
