Ways To Feel More Human

As a wellbeing writer of over 20 years, it is glaringly obvious to me that we are no longer living in alignment with who we are. Obesity is at an all-time high, as is anxiety, depression and chronic disease. We spend less time in nature; spend all day hunched over laptops; we snack all day and don’t allow the sun to warm our skin. In this podcast, I’ll be speaking to some of the most knowledgeable and inspiring thought leaders, along with creatives and wellness experts to help us rethink the way we currently live. WAYS TO FEEL MORE HUMAN is about coming home to the wonder of ourselves.

Russell Foster - Syncing our circadian rhythms

Our modern world is disrupting our bodies’ natural circadian rhythms – our phones ping throughout the night, we don’t get enough daylight and we never allow ourselves to switch off.

But did you know that smooth running of our circadian rhythms is vital to protect us from disease?

Or that disruption of our sleep can drastically lower our immune system?

According to Russell Foster, Professor of Circadian Neuroscience at Oxford University around 70% of individuals with Alzheimers are reported to have disrupted and fragmented circadian rhythms.

In this podcast we are going to discuss why we need to respect our body’s natural rhythms to improve brain health, our metabolism and even our life expectancy and how today’s modern world is pushing us out of sync.

Russell also busts a few myths when it comes to light blocking glasses, whether melatonin pills work and whether I can become a ‘Lark’ instead of an ‘Owl.’
