Summary
On the podcast this week we're taking a slightly different approach - we usually cover topics such as food, medicine and lifestyle, but in light of the current situation I thought it would be pertinent to share something else with you this week.
We're delaying our future episodes for the time being and I wanted to talk to you today about the COVID19 situation - there's a lot of details out there at the moment and it's an incredibly overwhelming amount of information coming from many many different sources, including social media.
This weeks episode is geared toward arming you with the tools to understand the current news, how to contextualise the scary scenarios and what to expect from the numbers over the next few weeks.
So today, I wanted to share with you
- My thoughts on 'what you need to know' regarding the current COVID19 situation (as of 28th March)
- A 'How to' guide for dealing with quarantine and the positive effects it can have including opportunities for kindness
- How you can be supporting your mental health
- Ways to look after your physical health and your nutrition intake
- The impact the situation may be having on teenagers/students
- Tips on navigating social media and the media/news at the current time
- My current work within the NHS and ways that you may be able to help and get involved
- What we're doing within The Doctor's Kitchen to provide support and information throughout this time
I appreciate that there's a lot of news and information out there at the moment on COVID19, so please do feel free to listen to as little or as much of this episode as you can at this current time.
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.

| 0:00.0 | Today's podcast is sponsored by Zory 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, or like me, you see food as medicine. But to any of you ever feel like |
| 0:15.3 | 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 for |
| 0:27.1 | your unique body. And I'm a believer that personalized nutrition could be beneficial if you find |
| 0:33.0 | yourself in this pattern. And Zory's groundbreaking science does what generic advice can't do. They |
| 0:39.0 | 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 |
| 0:50.2 | huge benefits on long-term health as well as relieving more immediate problems like fatigue. |
| 0:55.2 | So magnesium supplements for example can help one person sleep better but they might have |
| 0:59.5 | little effect on someone else. And as Professor Tim said in our conversation, personalized nutrition |
| 1:05.2 | takes away that trial and error and that very long process of trying to figure out what's going on |
| 1:10.4 | inside your body on your own. Zory has been genuinely life-changing for its members who've |
| 1:16.4 | reported feeling less tired after lunch and that the energy levels are far more consistent. |
| 1:21.3 | Discover what eating for your best health really looks like. Go to joinzory.com and use kitchen, |

| 1:33.8 | Today's episode is sponsored by JD Williams, the one-stop online store for fashion and |
| 1:38.6 | homeware. Getting older is in many ways a blessing. My society might like to portray getting |
| 1:44.0 | older as the autumn of life. I've actually found it to be highly gratifying and we've actually |
| 1:48.5 | discussed the many benefits of age and the misconceptions of aging with neuroscientists, |
