• The Brain-Immune Expert: This Is How Social Media Is Reprogramming Your Immune System | Dr. Dan Nicolau

  I'm excited to share this week's Live Well Be Well episode with you all! I had Dr. Dan Nicolau join me to explore the fascinating intersection of our brain and immune system - a relationship that could completely transform how we understand health and disease."Neuroimmunology" - the powerful two-way communication between our brain and immune system. We often think of these systems separately, but Dan reveals how they're constantly in dialogue, influencing everything from allergies and autoimmune conditions to mental health and chronic disease.We dive into how modern life - particularly our relationship with social media and screens - might be disrupting this delicate balance and potentially driving inflammation throughout our bodies. Dan shares insights from his groundbreaking research on how what we scroll through might literally be changing our biology, and offers practical wisdom on how we can become more mindful of these connections in our daily lives.About Dr. Dan Nicolau:Dr. Dan Nicolau is a polymath researcher whose work spans mathematics, engineering, medicine, and computer science. As a leading voice in neuroimmunology, his research explores how the brain and immune system communicate and how this relationship affects our health from allergies to cancer. His multidisciplinary approach combines rigorous science with profound philosophical insights about what it means to live well in the modern world.Connect with Dr. Dan Nicolau:Email: [email protected],Sarah Ann 💛***Thank you to my wonderful sponsors! VivoBarefoot | 'If you can’t be barefoot, be Vivobarefoot’For 20% off, use code LWBW20www.vivobarefoot.com***If you enjoyed this episode you might also like:Dr. Chris Palmer: How Ultra-Processed Foods Impact Your Brain and Mental Healthhttps://youtu.be/1XwRdDU1PCY?si=1aac1zajEJhKuoB3Dr. William Li: Can Diet DAMAGE Your Blood Brain Barrier?https://youtu.be/UrCxdniSLiU?si=F4eGRntovHRRbi4N***Sign up to Sarah’s Compassionate Cure newsletter: Science Simplified, Health Humanised.

• Paul Gilbert: The #1 Habit That Helped Me Overcome Self-Doubt | 5 Questions

  Each week, I ask my guest five questions designed to nourish their mind, body, and soul pre interview. These questions help us explore what makes each guest tick as an imperfect, evolving human, taking them out of their heads and into their bodies.While our discussions often go deep into the intellect, these questions invite my guests to step out of their comfort zones, gain a fresh perspective, and perhaps hold a bit more compassion for themselves. I believe this shift from headspace to heart space is something we can all relate to – it’s the universal journey of being human.And as a listener, I hope you’ll come away feeling a little more connected, not only to these stories but to the shared truths and vulnerabilities we uncover here. Each conversation is an opportunity to peek behind the scenes and share in the humanity of those on the other side of the microphone.Sixth - Professor of Clinical Psychology, Paul Gilbert Listen to the full episode ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Watch the full episode on YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.***Thank you to my wonderful sponsor! VivoBarefoot | 'If you can’t be barefoot, be Vivobarefoot’For 20% off, use code LWBW20www.vivobarefoot.com***If you enjoyed this episode you might also like:The #1 BETTER HEALTH Technique You Never Knew Existed!

• The 19-Year-Old Trying To Become The Oldest Man Alive: Inside The Blueprint Cult – Talmage Johnson

  Thrilled to welcome Talmage Johnson today on Live Well Be Well! After interviewing his father Bryan Johnson two years ago, I'm finally sitting down with the younger half of this pioneering health duo to discuss his journey with Blueprint – the revolutionary health protocol that's challenging how we approach longevity.At just 19 years old, Talmage offers a refreshingly thoughtful perspective on health optimisation. Talmage shares how his version of Blueprint focuses primarily on the foundational pillars of sleep, nutrition, and exercise. We dive deep into his daily routine – from his 4-6 hour eating window and plant-based diet to his disciplined sleep schedule and comprehensive fitness regimen.Talmage speaks candidly about balancing extreme discipline with enjoying life, his relationship with data tracking, and his unique perspective on relationships at his age. His insight into cultivating health habits at such a young age provides valuable wisdom for listeners of all generations.About Talmage Johnson:Talmage Johnson is a health advocate and entrepreneur who began following the Blueprint protocol at age 16. Now at 19, he works with his father Bryan Johnson at their health company while taking a gap year from university. He shares his health journey publicly, participating in what he calls "compounding health" - making a long-term investment in his future self through disciplined health practices.Connect with Talmage Johnson:Instagram: @talmagejohnson_X: @talmagejohnson_LinkedIn: Talmage JohnsonLove, Sarah Ann 💛***Thank you to my wonderful sponsors! VivoBarefoot | 'If you can’t be barefoot, be Vivobarefoot’For 20% off, use code LWBW20www.vivobarefoot.com***If you enjoyed this episode you might also like:The FIRST Woman To Follow Bryan Johnson’s $2M Anti-Aging Blueprint | Why Kate Tolo Is Differenthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJC_E_gXYMgMost Extreme Anti-Ageing Routine: How To STAY YOUNG Forever & Look 18 Again | Bryan Johnsonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G-Ax76WwXM***Sign up to Sarah’s Compassionate Cure newsletter: Science Simplified, Health Humanised.
