The vast majority of today’s health problems are rooted in our busy, modern lifestyles. So many people say they don’t have time for the gym, to overhaul their diet, to spend the quality time they want to with their loved ones—our wellbeing often gets added to a to-do list.
Trying to implement healthy lifestyle changes can be overwhelming for many people, but my guest on today’s podcast says that all it takes is 5 minutes a day to make a real difference in your health.
Dr. Rangan Chatterjee is regarded as one of the most influential medical doctors in the UK and hosts the most listened to health podcast in the UK and Europe, ‘Feel Better, Live More’. His first three books have all been #1 Sunday Times Bestsellers and his latest, Feel Better in 5, shows people how to transform their health in just 5 minutes. It has been a smash hit in the UK, selling almost 100,000 copies in just 7 months, and has just been published in the United States. Professor BJ Fogg, the world’s leading expert in human behavior, calls this book, one of the best habit change programs he has seen—deceptively simple but remarkably effective.” Dr. Chatterjee regularly appears on BBC News and Television and has been featured in numerous international publications including The New York Times, Forbes, The Guardian and Vogue, and his TED talk, How To Make Disease Disappear, has been viewed almost 3 million times.
All of us have made short-term changes before, but how do you get them to last? Dr. Chatterjee shares his plan, Feel Better in 5, which is based on three easy practices, which he calls, “health snacks.” Each one takes no more than 5 minutes to complete—short enough to be able to fit into your busy day, yet long enough to ensure you gain real benefits.

Our mitochondria get weaker and less abundant as we get older, plus lots of things in our lives like stress, bad food, and toxins damage them over time. But a modality called red light therapy helps me support healthier mitochondria and fight inflammation—I use Joovv red light therapy devices to do this at home.

I love your books n docs, your such an inspiration and I learned a lot from u! Love your passion and amazing channel. Just watched and liked, hope u’ll do the same. . Thanks so much and more power to ur incredible channel!
Do you receive early releases, this was just posted in my subscription? Enjoying it as well
Nice..
This is so good. I have developed sciatica and 2 weeks ago before I get up out of bed I do stretches right where I am for 10 mins for my back, legs and gluts. All I could do was 5 reps maybe twice. In 2 weeks I’m at 10 reps per set and I can now walk without pain or weakness in my right leg. I have not added anything else. I am starting to feel great and soon I will add in walking, yoga or whatever my body tells me I can handle. Thank you for this. This is validating. I started in bed and moved to the floor and I listened to my body. More to come. Thank you!!!!
Feel better in 5 minutes, watch this 1 hour video, lol… sorry, just thought it was a funny contrast.
Exactly, that’s what came to my mind as well 🙂
Or you could think of it as, investing one hour to feel better for the rest of your life.
Your videos are FAR too long. There may be some people that have 70+ minutes to watch a video but I’m not one of them.
Perhaps you can listen rather then watch? During lunch if you’re at work, or while you clean around the house. Just simple ways I have been able to incorporate without feeling like I put other things on pause in my day.
My two favorite doctors… They’ve had the most impact on my health. Shalom from Israel.
This video should be five minutes long
Hyman just can’t shut up
Thank God
It would be great if you guys would start putting links to what is discussed in each of these videos. Love them! Thank you!
