• Chinese Medicine & The Four Pillars of Health with Dr Mazin Al-Khafaji

  This week we sit down with Dr Mazin Al-Khafaji, one of the world’s leading authorities in Chinese medicine, to explore the ancient principles behind this holistic system, and why it may hold the key to understanding modern illness.Dr Mazin explains how Chinese medicine views the body as an ecosystem - a network of interdependent systems that must stay in balance for health to thrive. He unpacks what a diagnosis looks like, why practitioners examine the tongue and pulse and how conditions like eczema, autoimmune disorders and hormonal imbalances are treated through a process of draining, harmonising and tonifying the body rather than simply suppressing symptoms.We also discuss the four pillars of health; nourishment, movement, rest and emotional stability - and why maintaining all four is essential for wellbeing. He shares practical insights on food as medicine, the importance of eating diverse colours and flavours to nourish the microbiome, how emotions directly affect the body and what modern medicine can learn from Eastern philosophy.Dr Mazin’s wisdom offers a bridge between ancient healing and modern science, reminding us that prevention, balance and understanding our body’s signals are the true foundations of health.*This episode is sponsored by Happy Mammoth - use the code RAISE at checkout to get 15% off your order: https://uk.happymammoth.com * This episode is sponsored by V14 - a premium longevity complex carefully formulated to support cellular health, energy metabolism, cognitive function, and healthy aging, with ingredients that work better together.

• Motherhood, Capitalism & the System That’s Failing Parents with Anna Whitehouse

  This week we sit down with Anna Whitehouse - journalist, broadcaster, author and founder of the Flex Appeal movement, to talk about what it really means to raise families in a system that wasn’t built for parents.Anna opens up about her decade-long fight for flexible working rights, why motherhood and capitalism clash and how the 9-to-5 structure born from the industrial revolution continues to fail women and families. We discuss everything from the childcare crisis and gender pay gap to the myth of “having it all”, mum guilt and the need for men to be part of the conversation around equality and parenting. Anna’s honesty cuts through the noise as she calls for systemic reform, emotional intelligence in workplaces and a redefinition of success for the modern family. This episode is a reminder that the problem isn’t that we’re failing. It’s that we’re being failed by a system that needs to change.*This episode is sponsored by Happy Mammoth - use the code RAISE at checkout to get 15% off your order: https://uk.happymammoth.com * This episode is sponsored by V14 - a premium longevity complex carefully formulated to support cellular health, energy metabolism, cognitive function, and healthy aging, with ingredients that work better together.
