What if the road to understanding mental health was not as straightforward as it seems? I sat down with the highly insightful Dr. Chukwuemeka Nwuba, who shared his unique journey into the field of eating disorders.

An accidental placement morphed into a lifelong passion, propelling him into psychiatry training and, eventually, authorship. With a deep understanding of co-morbidity in mental health, he unravels the complexity of eating disorders in an approachable manner.

We also delve into Dr. Chukwuemeka’s book, ‘Eating Disorders Don’t Discriminate’. The book is a profound compilation of experiences from many well-known personalities battling the five main types of eating disorders.

What if the cure for healthcare inequities resides in a multi-dimensional approach? We're exploring this provocative question with our esteemed guest, Dr Annabel Sowemimo, a doctor, activist and author who has dedicated her life to addressing these disparities.

We delve into the roots of systemic racism in healthcare and how it is viewed from the lens of a Black woman, clinician and scholar. Dr. Sowemimo shares her unique journey through medicine, shedding light on the impact of her non-linear education and community involvement on her understanding of healthcare.

Dr. Annabel's story is one that brings to life the reality of racial bias in medicine. Together, we grapple with 'taboo' topics, challenging the status quo and making room for uncomfortable but necessary discussions in medical education and practice.

Could the mental strategies of elite athletes revolutionise our performance, whether in the operating room, the boardroom, or the classroom? In this episode, psychologist Josephine Perry joins me to unravel the art of applying sports psychology across high-performance domains.

With a background that zigs and zags through journalism, marketing, and even crisis communications, Josephine embodies the shift from non-athlete to an iron-willed triathlete, proving that the philosophies of sports psychology are not just for those on the track but for anyone chasing their peak potential.

Facing a career crossroads can be daunting, especially for those steeped in the medical field, where the weight of expectation often nudges one down a preordained path. This episode explores the layers of this existential dilemma, offering a compassionate look at the internal struggle medics might face when their career no longer echoes their inner values. Together, we sift through the importance of decision-making guided by personal purpose and the courage it takes to steer away from years of study when it leads you astray from your true calling.

Through real stories, Josephine shares her battles with a lethargic alter ego, dubbed "Lazy Larry," we explore how aligning our life's actions with our core values—like family and bravery—can not only quell the perfectionist's anxiety but also stoke the fires of motivation.
