Summary

Believing that medicine is more art than science, Dr Rangan Chatterjee’s MO is understanding how lifestyle factors like upbringing, social status, stress levels, sleep, and even phone use might be affecting your physical and mental health. In this chat with Fearne, they talk through lots of practical methods that’ll help you understand and alter the way you feel. For example, the act of journaling won’t change the problem you have, but what it will change is how you interact with the problem – and that could be life changing.

0:35.0	five minutes or ten minutes a day where there's no incoming noise,
0:39.7	because then you can start to tap in, oh man, I don't feel good today. Like I feel a bit
