What we eat, and how we eat, can have a profound effect on our brain health, even influencing depression, anxiety and ADHD.Today, we’re unpacking simple food strategies that can support your nervous system, with a big focus on the gut-brain connection.And I have the pleasure of chatting with Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas to explore this topic.He’s a clinical neuroscientist, nutrition researcher and author of the brilliant new book ‘ADHD Body and Mind: A Compassionate Guide to Rewilding Your Nervous System’.He also has a fantastic way of bringing together brain health and delicious, practical food.We cover 👇• Why combining foods can unlock more benefits than eating them on their own• The shift from “more fibre” to “more variety of fibre”• Everyday foods your gut microbes thrive on that most of us under-eat• Why how you eat matters just as much as what’s on your plate• The surprising impact even mild dehydration can have on focus and mood• Easy ways to upgrade meals you’re already eating, even on low-energy daysThis conversation will leave you inspired to cook your way to a healthier brain. And stick around for Miguel’s slightly unusual approach to using a slow cooker to maximise the nutritional value of his food.Dr Miguel’s socialshttps://drmiguelmateas.com/https://thecreativescientist.substack.com/http://instagram.com/drmiguelmateasHope you enjoy!Dr Rupy x🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here📱 Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our website☕️ Try Exhale Coffee here🥗 Join the newsletter and receive a 7 day meal plan📷 Follow on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

I’m seeing fibre maxxing everywhere right now. And I think it might be one of the few trends actually worth paying attention to.But as always, it’s not that simple.This episode is a deep dive into fibre with Dr Karan Rajan, medical doctor and one of the most recognisable health voices online.He’s built an audience of over 10 million people across social media, breaking down complex health topics with a mix of evidence, clarity and generous servings of humour.We cover:The benefits of increasing fibre for your skin, brain, inflammation, hormones and moreIs 30g a day enough?Different types of fibres and why diversity is so importantHow much fibre is too much?How to increase fibre without bloatingBest high-fibre foodsHis journey creating a fibre supplement and the controversy around itQuick disclaimer: I ask Dr Karan about his journey creating his own fibre supplement towards the end of the podcast, which is a really interesting process. I’m not affiliated in any way and, as you’ll hear, I’m still very much food first, with good quality, third party tested supplements as a top up when needed.More from us🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here📱 Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our website☕️ Try Exhale Coffee here🥗 Join the newsletter and receive a 7 day meal plan📷 Follow on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

If there are five people in a room with eczema, they’re probably all dealing with it for completely different reasons.And that’s something we don’t talk about enough.Eczema, acne, psoriasis… these are rarely just skin issues. They’re often a reflection of what’s happening inside the body, particularly in the gut.So instead of just asking what to put on your skin, this episode is about asking a better question. What’s actually driving this underneath?My guest today is Farzanah Nasser, a registered nutritionist and certified functional medicine practitioner specialising in gut health, immune health and chronic skin conditions.She works with people every day, dealing with long-standing skin issues using a practical, gut-first approach.She’s also the author of “The Everyday High-Fibre Plan”, full of simple, gut-friendly recipes… including those cookies on the table if you’re watching on YouTube 👀We cover 👇🏽How gut health impacts skin conditions like eczema, acne and psoriasisA functional medicine approach to eczemaHow to build your meals for better skin healthFoods that support liver function Whether food sensitivity tests are worth itFarzanah’s personal journey with psoriasisTips to reduce bloating when increasing fibre🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here📱 Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our website☕️ Try Exhale Coffee here🥗 Join the newsletter and receive a 7 day meal plan📷 Follow on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

There’s a fascinating ancient system of medicine called Ayurveda, originating in India over 3,000 years ago, that has helped millions of people tune into their bodies through simple food, daily rhythms and plants. I grew up thinking it was just a set of beliefs and traditions, but my guest today really challenged that. What I came to understand is that Ayurveda is actually a codified system of observations and experiments, documented, debated and written in Sanskrit texts. My guest is Dr Vijay Murthy, an internationally acclaimed integrative physician who blends Ayurveda with modern, evidence-based medicine. He has over 30 years of clinical experience and regularly publishes in peer-reviewed journals. What’s remarkable is that many of the practices we unpack today closely mirror what modern research now tells us about gut health, lifestyle medicine and nutrition. This conversation genuinely made me reflect on my own daily routines in a different way. And there are a couple of simple practices in here that you might want to try for yourself. We cover: What Ayurveda actually is Daily routines and living in sync with natural cycles How to identify your dominant dosha and what it means How Ayurveda can support gut health and digestion How to eat according to Ayurvedic food principles What an Ayurvedic breakfast looks like Key herbs used in Ayurveda for digestion, blood sugar, thyroid health, skin and hair How to choose high-quality herbs and avoid contaminants 🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here 📱 Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app 🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our website ☕️ Try Exhale Coffee here 🥗 Join the newsletter and receive a 7 day meal plan 📷 Follow on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

One of the biggest myths about brain health is that decline is inevitable as we get older. That at some point our memory fades, our thinking slows down, and there’s not much we can do about it. My guest today argues the opposite. Dr Tommy Wood is a neuroscientist, Professor at the University of Washington, and performance consultant to world-class athletes. He’s published more than 100 scientific papers and has lectured all over the world on brain health, metabolism, physical activity and human performance. He’s also the author of the brilliant new book The Stimulated Mind: Future-Proof Your Brain from Dementia and Stay Sharp at Any Age (Harmony, March 2026). It’s a really practical conversation about small, everyday habits that can keep your mind 🧠 sharper for longer, without needing extreme diets or stacks of nootropics. He walks us through 3 powerful levers to sharpen your mind: How to stimulate it with specific exercises and mental challenges How to supply it with key nutrients And how to support it by changing your perspective on stress and sleep I’ve already changed a few simple things in my daily routine, and I’ve been sharing it with friends and family because this is something that really matters to most of us: keeping our minds sharp through life. I hope you find this conversation as useful and motivating as I did. If you want specific recipes and meal ideas, we have a whole brain‑healthy collection on the Doctor’s Kitchen app and website to help you put these principles into practice straight away. 🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here 📱 Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app 🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our website ☕️ Try Exhale Coffee here 🥗 Join the newsletter and receive a 7 day meal plan 📷 Follow on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

We breathe over 20,000 times a day. Those breaths do far more than just keep us alive. They shape your sleep, your focus, your energy, even your blood pressure and long-term risk of disease. That’s over 20,000 opportunities to support your health, every single day. The challenge is that modern life makes it harder to breathe well. We sit hunched over laptops, we’re constantly switched on, we chew softer foods, and many of us mouth-breathe, especially at night. My guest today is on a mission to improve our health through our breath. James Nestor is an award-winning science journalist and author of the bestseller “Breath”. He’s travelled the world to understand how our breathing has changed, and most importantly, what simple, practical steps we can take to improve it. This episode genuinely shifted things for my team and me. I hope it inspires you to make a few small changes too. And if you know a committed mouth breather, send it their way. We cover: The risks of mouth breathing and James’ 10-day experiment Why nasal breathing makes such a difference Tips for a blocked nose or deviated septum How to train your diaphragm for easier breathing Why softer modern diets can affect your airways Whether “mewing” is worth trying Easy breathing habits you can start today 🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here 📱 Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app 🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our website ☕️ Try Exhale Coffee here 🥗 Join the newsletter and receive a 7 day meal plan 📷 Follow on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

I talk a lot about what we eat for our health. But what about the air we breathe at home? If you or your kids have asthma, constant sniffles, a lingering cough, sinus issues, or you’ve noticed damp patches and that musty smell, this episode could change how you think about your home. As a new dad, I'm personally really interested in how our home environment shapes early immune development. This conversation made me think differently about ventilation, condensation and what really matters. My guest is Dr Peter Cook, a Wellcome Trust Sir Henry Dale Fellow at the MRC Centre for Medical Mycology at the University of Exeter. His research looks at how airborne fungal spores interact with the immune system and drive allergic and asthmatic disease, an area that has been surprisingly neglected. In this episode, we go into: What mould actually is and when it becomes a problem What is a safe level of mould? How mould exposure can trigger asthma and allergic disease Who’s most at risk Whether mould testing kits are worth your money If dehumidifiers and air purifiers actually work Practical steps you can take this week to reduce your exposure and protect your health 🎬 Watch the podcast on YouTube here 📱 Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app 🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our website ☕️ Try Exhale Coffee here 🥗 Join the newsletter and receive a 7 day meal plan 📷 Follow on Instagram Hosted on Acast.
