Our body’s stress response is cleverly designed to keep us safe, but the trouble now is that it’s being triggered by every day life – emails, caring commitments, social media, loneliness. Dr Rangan Chatterjee explains what the stress response is, and how using your physically body can often be the best way to calm your mind. In this chat, Fearne and Rangan also talk in great detail about the importance of sleep, and how to trust your own feelings rather than always needing science to back up your lived experience.
Rangan is the host of the Feel Better Live More podcast and author of 5 Sunday Times bestselling books including his latest Happy Mind Happy Life.

1:01.0 | There have been activated by our daily lives, by our email inbox, by the three social media channels we're trying to keep up to date with, by the fact that we might have elderly parents to look after and young kids to care for, and the fact that we moved away from our communities and our families, so we're trying to do all of this stuff by ourselves when we would have had communities to help us in the past. |
