We have the power to change our perception of stress. Taking a different mindset about the things in life that stress us out, acknowledging what we have the power to control and what we can’t, and not giving away our personal power to others through our reactions are all major steps towards managing stress in a healthier way.
This week on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m joined by my good friend Dr. Rangan Chatterjee to look at the many sides of stress and all the actions we can take to stop it in its tracks.
Dr. Chatterjee is regarded as one of the most influential doctors in the UK and wants to change how medicine will be practiced for years to come. He hosts the biggest health podcast in Europe, Feel Better, Live More, which Apple has announced as one of the most downloaded new podcasts of the past year. His first book, How to Make Disease Disappear, is an international bestseller all over the world and has sold over 250,000 copies worldwide in just 18 months. His most recent book, the #1 bestseller, The Stress Solution, tackles what the WHO calls the health epidemic of our time—stress. Dr. Chatterjee is known for finding the root cause of people's health problems, and he has highlighted his methods in the ground-breaking BBC television show, Doctor in the House, which has been shown in over 70 countries around the world.

Dr. Chatterjee brings up a good point. I find that the people who are the least compliant with any diet are those who use food as a vehicle for stress relief or comfort. You can impart all the right information to them, with regards to macro-nutrients and food quality, and they will never be able to adhere long term to the diet because they use food – especially foods laden with carbohydrates and sugars (i.e. the most obesogenic foods) – as a form of catharsis. Addressing the emotional component to eating is something that so many diet gurus miss. I think a great resource on this topic of the emotional/stress connection to poor dietary adherence is Dr. Robert Cywes. I highly recommend his channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk4Mk7vArjSYBa1VKv9-chA
