Rangan Chatterjee

She said, I know that your US listeners are always sharing their fasting insulin, glucose, and HOMA-IR scores, which is harder for us to get a hold of in the UK.

I just wanted to share that Dr. Chatterjee, who has a podcast called Feel Better Live More, has developed a health app where you can get important blood markers tested in the UK.

His tests include fasting glucose, fasting insulin, hemoglobin A1C, and a HOMA-IR score.

You pay for a year and then the labs are repeated three times over that year so that you can see if you are making improvements.

Yeah, I think that's great.

And it's wonderful that y'all have such a great resource.

Dr. Chatterjee is a big fan of fasting.

Yes, he is.

And then on the shelf right now is Lisa Moscone's book From Listening to Episode 375 on Menopause and Women's Brains.

I mean, how awesome is that, right? Sarah, the lovely Sarah from Plastic 3 Southeast Asia, a wonderful sustainability advocate in the world, she shared that the Dr Rangan Chatterjee episode was a huge standout for her and listening to us both in conversation.

Laurie shared that she really loved the Melissa Brown episodes on finance and it was such an aha moment for her story.

For us to start thinking about finance from a low-tox perspective by way of being more assured and less stressed and, of course, using things more frugally, being more DIY-oriented.

Yeah.

There was a fellow called Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, who's one of the podcast doctors, one of the biggest in the world.

He was on this recently and said he prescribes this exercise, diary writing, to stress people and it works.

And he does it himself, even short little paragraphs.

Hey guys, how you doing? Hope you're having a good week so far.

My name is Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, and this is my podcast, Feel Better, Live

More.

What happens when the boundary between you and the world around you dissolves? Well, that's something I myself experienced recently.

How you doing? Hope you're having a good week so far.

My name is Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, and this is my podcast, Feel Better, Live More.

Today's episode is a bit different to usual in the sense that it was recorded live at the iconic festival South West by South West in London in June earlier this year.

Today's guest, Esther Perel, asked me to interview her on stage to mark the 20th anniversary of her groundbreaking book, Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence.

And so much of the pain, as far as I can see, is you railing against the fact that there are difficulties.

Great insight from Rangan Chatterjee was the more that somebody complains, the less accurate their perspective of the world is.

So a complaint is you saying, why is the world not behaving in the way that I expected it to? which essentially identifies that you don't have an accurate model of the way that the world works.

There are going to be problems continuously for the rest of time, and there will never be a day when you don't wake up and have to mediate or negotiate or cajole your way through something.

Author Robert Greene has written about the value of solitude for creativity, perspective and self-knowledge.

Dr. Rangan Chatterjee makes a similar point.

In a world of constant noise, solitude gives us space to listen to ourselves again.

And Kevin Kelly captures the balance perfectly.

But that is changing, right? Because more and more are coming to the fun side of the island.

Like my good mate, Rangan Chatterjee, who's been on that island for, I think, five or six years now, which is incredible.

So yeah, I wish I'd known at 32 that actually the anxiety is being caused by the very thing that pretends to solve it.

All right, so a final one.

So follow them, listen to them, get hold of some of their books because they're really brilliant.

The other one is Rangan Chatterjee, who, again, his podcast is superb and he's written some very friendly, you know, how to books on these areas, particularly mental health and looking at these sort of pillars of wellness.

And then when you see your poor, exhausted doctors, because most of us are, unfortunately, and ask them, you know, i i've i think the medicines are great thank you for telling me about that but are there other things i could do many practices now have social prescribers so people who could link you up with men in sheds or park run or choirs for breathlessness or whatever it might be that you're interested in um i'm very lucky we have a health coach she's got a background in nutrition at our practice and so you could see our health coach um You can also see dieticians on the NHS.

There's the Paths to Remission programme.
