#293 Can Fish Oil Improve Your Gut? | Dr Amrita Vijay

•

Today we invite Dr Amrita Vijay to the podcast. She is a leading scientific advisor and researcher specialising in the intersection of diet, the gut microbiome, and health. With a strong background in conducting nutritional interventions in both India and the UK, Dr Vijay explores how food influences inflammation, mood and overall well-being.


We discuss:

  • The prebiotic potential of omega-3
  • Why not all dietary fibres can be considered equal. 
  • The influence of culture and heritage on our dietary habits and why acknowledging these factors is essential for driving meaningful and sustainable dietary changes. 


We also discuss the differences between pre and probiotics, which probiotics may actually have evidence behind them and her thoughts on gut supporting diets, diversity scoring and lots more.


Dr Vijay was recently awarded the Best Research Award from the University of Nottingham. Passionate about translating cutting-edge science into practical strategies, Dr Vijay is dedicated to empowering individuals with evidence-based insights on how diet and lifestyle can optimise health and well-being.

  • #306 How to Use Fasting, Cold and Effort to Counteract the Effects of Modern Life | Dr Leo Pruimboom PhD

    02:21:41|
    ā€œYou can take a human out of being in nature, but you can’t take nature out of the human beingā€ This is the statement I pose to Dr Leo right at the beginning of our chat today, and I think it encapsulates the essence of our conversation.Today we’re going to discuss the comfort crisis and the importance of ā€˜ancient stressors’ to support modern health.To give some context to this discussion, it seems like we’ve made life easier than ever. Meals on demand, warmth at the press of a button, and barely a reason to move. But this relentless convenience could be silently eroding our health. In this episode, we ask the provocative question: Has modern comfort become our newest disease? In other words, our biology still expects challenge. When we remove all friction from daily life, we also remove the very triggers that kept us metabolically flexible, mentally sharp, and emotionally resilient.From fasting and thirst to cold plunges and plant toxins, we explore the science of intermittent living, the idea that reintroducing short bursts of ancient stressors might act like a vaccine against the chronic diseases of modern life.We unpack:Why stress isn’t always the enemy but a tool, when used wiselyHow ancient triggers like hunger, cold, and heat can reboot resilienceWhat it means to recover well, and how purpose, stillness, and nature complete the cycleWhether biomarkers like CRP or HRV really change with these practicesHow to start your own intermittent living journey safely and simplyDr Leo Pruimboom is a physiologist, medical biochemist, who has dedicated hislife to the development of PNI as a clinical science converting a translationalmedical science into a solution focused discipline in which the body is considereda complete interconnected soma in which everything is everywhere at the sametime. In 1987 he established the European Academy of CPNI and collaborated withmultiple international Universities. Today, Pruimboom Institute holds 10 differentCampuses worldwide to provide specialised CPNI training to medical professionalsand other healthcare practitioners.Throughout his career, Dr Pruimboom has helped thousands of patients fromaround the world and has become an internationally recognised researcher andlecturer. šŸŽ¬ Watch the podcast on YouTube herešŸ“± Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our websiteā˜•ļø Try Exhale Coffee herešŸ„— Join the newsletter and receive a 7 day meal planšŸ“· Follow on Instagram

    01:17:43|
    Let’s unpack the world of probiotics. What they are, how they work, and who might actually benefit from taking them.Today you’ll learn about the science behind probiotic strains, explore whether fermented foods like kefir and kimchi are enough, and discuss when probiotics may help with issues like IBS, supporting our immune health, or even preventing antibiotic related side effects.To help us with this complicated topic, we have Dr Megan Rossi on the show today. She’s the founder of The Gut Health DoctorĀ®, and is one of the most influential gut health specialists internationally, and a leading Research Fellow at King’s College London.

  • #304 Is Red Meat Actually That Unhealthy? with Dr Kevin Maki PhD

    01:35:52|
    If you ordered a steak at a restaurant are you essentially ordering a heart attack or a nutrient-rich whole food?Few foods spark more debate than red meat. It’s been blamed for heart disease, cancer and diabetes, but some people praise it for being high in iron, zinc, vitamin B12 and quality protein. So, if you add red meat to your plate is it helpful or harmful?Whether you eat meat or avoid it, I think you’ll find today’s conversation cuts through the noise of social media and clears up a lot of confusion in the nutrition space. I wanted to disentangle the obvious issues surrounding environmental concerns of eating animal products from today's discussion, and simply talk through the data as we have it. It’s given me a lot to think about when it comes to recommendations for people, as well as how concerned I would be about red meat consumption overall.Today we’re chatting with researcher and academic Dr. Kevin Maki, PhD, who specialises in clinical studies on nutrition, metabolism, and chronic disease risk factors. He's also an Adjunct Professor at Indiana University School of Public Health, a Master and Past President of the National Lipid Association, and a Fellow of the American Heart Association and The Obesity Society. Dr. Maki has participated in over 300 clinical trials and published more than 250 scientific papers, books and book chapters.You’re going to learn about:Whether red meat is actually unhealthier than poultryWhat red meat really does to your cholesterol, your blood pressure and your long-term health riskWhether red meat is a source of unhealthy fatsTypes of red meat and which ones are less healthy than othersHow much red meat you can safely consumeWe also talk about seed oils, plus high protein diets and their relationship to kidney disease, longevity and diabetes risk.The 4 big takeaways I got from this episode were:Moderate amounts (50g per day) of unprocessed lean red meat in the diet is fineDiet quality and the addition of whole unprocessed foods is more importantHigh Protein is very important in middle aged and older adultsBeware of the 4 white poisons: Sugar, Salt, Saturated Fat and refined StarchesšŸŽ¬ Watch the podcast on YouTube herešŸ“± Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our websiteā˜•ļø Try Exhale Coffee herešŸ„— Join the newsletter and receive a 7 day meal planšŸ“· Follow on Instagram

    01:47:21|
    Have you ever wondered if some people simply have a fast metabolism? You know the kind of people that seem to be able to eat anything and still maintain a healthy weight?

  • #301 Anticancer diet, lifestyle and supplements with the UK’s first NHS Integrative Oncologist Professor Robert Thomas

    01:29:14|
    Up to 40% of cancers are attributable to modifiable risk factors, including diet, obesity, alcohol, tobacco use, and physical inactivity. The WCRF estimates that about 1 in 3 cancer cases in high-income countries could be prevented by healthier diets, maintaining a healthy weight, and regular physical activity. And according to the National Cancer Institute in the US, physical inactivity is a recognized risk factor for colon, breast, and endometrial cancer.But even with the best intentions there’s a lot of confusion around lifestyle and cancer. One day it’s red meat, the next it’s microwaves. We hear about them in headlines, social media posts or passed around in conversation, which can make it really hard to know what matters most.I’m joined today by Professor Robert Thomas, an NHS oncologist and researcher who’s spent decades studying how lifestyle (from food and movement to gut health and supplements) affects cancer risk and recovery.We talk about ā€¦šŸ§  Common cancer myths - mushrooms and herbsšŸ„— Anticancer diets – What to eat to reduce your risk.🦠 Gut health & cancer – The powerful connection between your microbiome and cancer.šŸ”„ Inflammation & risk – How chronic inflammation increases cancer susceptibility.šŸƒā€ā™‚ļø Exercise & cancer – The science behind how movement helps fight cancer cells.🧓 Microplastics & personal care products – The hidden risks in everyday items.šŸ’„ Aluminium in makeup & deodorants – Investigating the potential health impacts.šŸ‘¶ Fertility impact – How lifestyle and environmental exposures may affect reproductive health.He’s also recently appointed Head of Integrative Oncology at The Royal London Hospital for Integrative Medicine making him the UK’s first NHS Integrative Oncologist, to complement his existing role as an NHS Consultant Oncologist at Addenbrooke's and Bedford Hospitals. He is also a Clinical Teacher at Cambridge University. At the start of our conversation we talk about his new role and the types of patients he encounters.View the podcast on our YouTube ChannelYou can find out more from Professor on his YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@ProfThomasMDBooks: How to Live, Keeping healthy with CanceršŸŽ¬ Watch the podcast on YouTube herešŸ“± Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app🌐 View full show notes, including guest details, on our websiteā˜•ļø Try Exhale Coffee herešŸ„— Join the newsletter and receive a 7 day meal planšŸ“· Follow on Instagram
