Adriano dos Santos is the Circadian Nutritionist and Sleep Expert - and so much more. Circadian alignment is not just important for shift workers, it’s something we all need to pay attention to. It’s a crucial factor in health and disease prevention, and something we can actively modify every day.

Adriano has one foot in groundbreaking academic research, and the other firmly grounded in clinical practice. This is a unique position to be able to make a difference to the people he is working with, and nutrition and lifestyle medicine as a whole. And he’s happy to share what he is learning and how he implements that in practice so we can all benefit.

In this episode we delve into both the academic and the practical aspects in Adriano’s work, and it’s a fascinating and inspiring ride.

In his spare time, Adriano actively supports Children of Heroes, and you can too here: https://childrenofheroes.donorsupport.co/page/donations?fundraiser=NDCHLWTM&member=SMVRUPLU

Keri Briggs, nutritionist at Lamberts Healthcare, is here to talk all things omega 3. We discuss the problems people might have converting ALA to EPA and DHA, what that actually means, a number of reasons why that's important, and what you can do about it.

Dr Jack Wolfson is the Natural Heart Doctor, and he really does take that seriously. In today's episode, Dr. Jack tells us how he went from traditional cardiologist to questioning his entire approach to medicine and heart health, and we discuss why more cardiologists haven't done this. He talks us through the tests worth having and the tests that are not. He explains why environmental toxins including plastics and molds can be such a problem for cardiovascular health, right down to issues with plaque and cholesterol clearance. But what shines through most is Dr. Jack's belief in and commitment to natural living, and how important it is to get those foundations in place.

Dr Nuthana is a Public Health Doctor and ambassador for Natracare, who produce tampons, pads, liners and wipes made of unbleached, unperfumed organic cotton, and which are all plastic-free. Dr Nuthana explains why this is so important for the health of the individual, of the (mostly women) cotton farm workers, and of the planet. And we discuss how to challenge and change the dominance of products containing plastic and toxic chemicals. For Dr Nuthana, it largely comes down to having more conversations, and asking for what we want. So let’s all talk more about periods, about incontinence, and about what we want and don’t want in our intimate areas.
