Why do we eat when we’re not hungry—especially at night? Willpower isn’t the answer. In this episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Helen McCarthy reveals the Appetite Pendulum—a powerful framework that helps you understand hunger, fullness, and emotional eating without shame.
We dig into why evenings are the danger zone, how to tell the difference between hunger and emotion in your body, and how a 10-second Pause Technique can change your relationship with food starting tonight. You’ll also learn the four biggest saboteurs of healthy eating, why GLP-1 medications like Ozempic help some people but aren’t the full solution, and the one small habit change that makes the biggest difference.
If you’ve ever struggled with “food noise,” night-time grazing, or the cycle of willpower and regret, this conversation will give you practical, evidence-based tools you can use immediately.
About Dr. McCarthy:
Dr Helen McCarthy is a Clinical Psychologist, and is the "Appetite Doctor". She developed Appetite Retraining to help people lose weight by re-learning to eat in tune with their body's natural hunger and fullness signals.
Helen is an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society who has worked as a Clinical Psychologist since 1989. She has a B.Sc. Honours degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of Durham and a Doctorate in Psychology from the University of Oxford.
After leaving Oxford Helen trained as a Clinical Psychologist within the British National Health Service and worked as a Clinical Psychologist in the NHS and then in private practice.

“There is always a reason for illness. You may not have all your answers today, but that doesn’t mean answers don’t exist. Never give up.” – Dr. Diana Driscoll
In this episode, Dr. Diana Driscoll — optometrist, researcher, patient, and founder of POTS Care — takes us inside her groundbreaking journey to uncover the hidden mechanisms of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).
After years of worsening illness and dismissal by the medical system, Dr. Driscoll combined her medical expertise with relentless patient-driven research. What emerged is now known as the Driscoll Theory, a framework that explores:
What drives POTS: high intracranial pressure, vagus nerve dysfunction, neurotransmitter disruption, and systemic vascular irregularities.
How to intervene: restoring vagus nerve function, reducing inflammation, supporting acetylcholine activity, and managing oxidative stress.
Practical tools: supplements like ParaSym Plus and NAC Max, targeted use of histamine blockers, and non-invasive approaches to improving quality of life.
Emotional resilience: how she navigated years of invalidation, supported her sick child, and created POTS Rebels, a community for patients seeking hope and science-backed solutions.
This conversation is both deeply personal and highly practical, offering clarity for patients, practitioners, and caregivers searching for answers.

Are you running on autopilot… or carrying silent trauma?
Trauma isn’t always dramatic. Sometimes it hides in plain sight...numbness, autopilot living, or the body’s quiet tension. Psychologist and somatic trauma specialist Dr. Shahrzad Jalali calls this silent trauma—the unrecognized emotional wounds that high achievers carry into their careers, relationships, and even their gut health.
In this powerful conversation, Dr. Jalali shares:
How to spot the difference between everyday stress and unconscious scripts steering your life
The body’s biggest “holding zones” for trauma such as the gut, jaw, shoulders, and pelvis
A 90-second nightly practice to reclaim emotional autonomy
Why your fights aren’t about “the dishes” but about childhood wounds replaying in real time
How to honor your family while still choosing yourself
Dr. Jalali’s upcoming book, The Fire That Makes Us, blends her personal story of loss with decades of clinical work to show how fire can both burn and forge resilience.
✨ Take a deep breath, press play, and discover how to stop outsourcing your worth—and finally belong to yourself.

In this Episode I welcome on Sami Inkinen CEO of Virta Health to discuss Virta Health's approach to Type 2 Diabetes reversal'
Virta Health utilizes a continuous remote care intervention (CCI) that incorporates individualized carbohydrate restriction, health coaching, and telemedicine to manage and reverse Type 2 Diabetes
We cover topics such as:
Impact of individualized carbohydrate restriction:
The role of the patient-provider relationship:
Addressing quality of food
The Virta change model:
GLP-1 Receptor agonists as a bridge:
Sustainable solutions require addressing nutrition:
Research Findings of Virta's approach.
Long-Term Effects of CCI: A 2-year non-randomized clinical trial published in Frontiers in Endocrinology showed significant and sustained improvements in multiple clinical markers of diabetes and cardiometabolic health in the CCI group compared to the UC (usual care) group . These included reductions in HbA1c, fasting glucose and insulin, weight, blood pressure, triglycerides, and liver alanine transaminase . The CCI group also saw higher rates of diabetes reversal and remission .
GLP-1 Deprescription: A recent study published in Diabetes Therapy explored the impact of discontinuing GLP-1 agonists in patients who had successfully integrated Carb-Restriction Nutrient Therapy (CRNT) supported by Virta's telemedicine model . The study found that patients did not experience weight regain after stopping GLP-1 medications, and while HbA1c levels increased slightly, they generally remained below the diagnostic threshold for diabetes
