I’m proud to say that he recently joined me in London as a guest speaker on the Prescribing Lifestyle Medicine course that I co-created with Dr Ayan Panja, to teach healthcare professionals the principles of lifestyle medicine. We recorded this conversation - Gabor’s 4th appearance on my show - a couple of weeks ago in London the day before that event, and we both agreed that it is perhaps our favourite conversation to date. For anyone not aware, Gabor is respected the world over as an expert on trauma, stress, addiction and childhood development. He is a physician, speaker and international bestselling author of some truly game-changing books such as When the Body Says No and The Myth of Normal - which has just come out in paperback. As this is Gabor’s 4th appearance on my podcast, I was keen to explore some new ground and different topics. Gabor has worked as a family doctor as well as in palliative (end of life) care. Back on Episode 383 of this podcast, I had a wonderful conversation with Bronnie Ware, author of the book, The Five Regrets of the Dying and I thought it would be interesting to examine each of these 5 regrets, through the lens of Gabor’s thoughts and work. We chat through all five of these regrets and Gabor provides some thought-provoking insights on each of them. He explains why we work so hard to the detriment of time with family and friends. We talk about how disease can be a teacher, why it’s vital children grow up able to express their emotions, and how we wish more doctors were aware of the connection between emotions and physical health. We discuss happiness and if it’s possible to be happy or seek happiness when there is so much suffering in the world. This leads us on to talk about the nature of forgiveness, curiosity, compassion, and also regret. Gabor says that living life with ‘no regrets’ is about learning and understanding from your perceived mistakes, but not being unkind to who you were then. Instead we should recognise that we did the best we could do at the time. Like all of my previous episodes with Gabor, this is a powerful conversation full of compassion, knowledge and wisdom. I hope you enjoy listening. #feelbetterlivemore ----- Connect with Gabor: Website: https://drgabormate.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drgabormate/ YouTube: @drgabormate9132 Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrGaborMate Gabor's books: The Myth of Normal - US: https://amzn.to/3VIyuKV UK: https://amzn.to/3RAgDB9 In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts - US: https://amzn.to/49pVcuq UK https://amzn.to/2zlLbR5 Scattered Minds - US: https://amzn.to/3xsANHL UK: https://amzn.to/2PvKYou When the Body Says No - US: https://amzn.to/49nWczj UK: https://amzn.to/2zdWc6B Hold on to Your Kids - US: https://amzn.to/4aB7QrF UK: https://amzn.to/2QUCAeK #feelbetterlivemore #feelbetterlivemorepodcast ------- Sign up to my newsletter - FRIDAY FIVE https://drchatterjee.com/fridayfive Find out about THE THREE QUESTION JOURNAL https://bit.ly/3TSaYtX Order HAPPY MIND HAPPY LIFE.

The Desk Jockey Workout is one of the many 5 minute workouts from my book. Feel Better in 5. It is particularly good if you spend most of your day sitting down, perhaps looking at screens. It can be incredibly helpful for back pain, neck pain, shoulder discomfort and general stiffness. Each of the 4 movements should be done in sequence. Quality is much more important than quantity. For detailed written instructions on how to do each movement, please see pages 169-177 of my book, Feel Better in 5. https://amzn.to/2G0XK7l
