Hello and welcome back to On the Men. It's been a while, right? I am back.

I'm very, very pleased. I've been on tour with my band, so I've been a bit out of action for a while. But we are back, we are ready, and boy, have we got some goodies coming up. In this series, I'm going to be taking a look into the world of mental health, addiction and recovery, and how people get through hard times. My guest today is the one and only

Dr. Rangen Chatterjee. Yes. Now Rangen has practiced medicine for over 20 years and believes that

good health is accessible to all of us. His goal is to change the way we look at illness and he

shares his expertise and learnings on his own incredibly successful podcast, feel better, live more.

I was actually a guest very early on in his podcast, so it was good for him to return the

favour and let me interview him. I had the privilege of going to visit him in his home,

and we had a really in-depth chat. I hope you find it as interesting to listen to as I did

recording it. Hello, Rongan. Welcome to On the Mend. Hey, Matt. How you doing? I'm really good, man. I'm really good. Mate, thanks so much to having me over. I really appreciate it. It's lovely here. Oh, mate. I'm so chuff you came over. I was thinking how you do it actually after the gig last night yeah yeah like I always think about how are you going to switch off after playing

yeah I was thinking how you do it actually after the gig last night. Yeah, yeah. Like I always think about how are you going to switch off after playing? Yeah, man. Yeah, I was kind of saying I've recently bought a PlayStation, which is a new thing for me. I've never really been into computer games. And I've always wanted one when I was a kid, never had one. And then I remember when we first moved into a flat, me and James, we started the band, we bought an Xbox. Right. And I just stay up, get stoned, and play Xbox for hours. And that lasted about six months, and I haven't had one since. But I need something after the show, because after the show finishes, I'm so wired and so kind of like energetic still. And I kind of,

I don't want to go and sit in the bar with everyone. You know, I go down, I say hello for half an hour, then I go back to my room and I play Spider-Man for about two hours. I love it. Swinging on spider webs through New York City. And it's just like, it's a complete switch off. You know, it's like me in a different little zone then I'm tired and I fall asleep and it's great oh love it a complete switch off you know it's like it's like me in a different

little zone then I'm tired and I fall asleep and it's great oh love it mate I'm glad you found

something that's brilliant yeah I mean it's I'm not sure how long it'll last but it's at the moment it's doing me all right yeah nice yeah man but it's um but mate it's so good to be here you know I really feel like I needed this.

You know, I love the fact that's in your home.

I love the fact that I've got to come and see a house.

It kind of feels a bit more like a, like, touring is a really weird experience. It's kind of like, because it's not really like anything else, but it hasn't ever changed. You know, like I feel like everything else in the music industry is completely changed. Like everything else, the way we do everything, the way everything's structured, is completely different.

But touring is exactly the same.

But you're not the same person, are you, that you were, let's say, 20 years ago.

Exactly.

So I'm, I know you're going to be interviewing me, but I'm so intrigued as to how your

relationship to touring is different now compared to 20 years ago.
