  • Join me in this illuminating episode as I sit down with Professor John Read, a leading mental health researcher. Drawing from decades of research and clinical experience, Prof. Read explains how childhood trauma physically reshapes the brain, challenges the oversimplified "chemical imbalance" theory of depression, and reveals disturbing data about the efficacy of antidepressant medications. Through evidence-based insights and real patient experiences, Prof. Read explains why the current psychiatric system often fails those it aims to help, and why many people struggling with mental health deserve better options than just medication.

    Key Topics:

    Childhood Trauma and Mental Health: How early life trauma physically changes the brain and affects mental health in adulthood

    Critique of Modern Psychiatry: Examining the flaws in current psychiatric diagnostic systems and treatment approaches

    Antidepressant Medication: Efficacy and Concerns: Antidepressants vs Placebo and their side effects

    Pharmaceutical Industry Influence: How drug companies shape mental health research and treatment decisions

    Alternative Treatment Approaches: Exploring non-medication options for managing mental health

    Medication Withdrawal Support: Practical advice for safely stopping psychiatric medications

    Future of Mental Health Care: Discussing hopes for reform in mental health treatment, including moving away from ECT

    Actionable Takeaways:

    Remember that mental health is complex and not just about brain chemistry - explore all factors affecting your wellbeing.

    Share your life experiences and any past trauma with your mental health provider, as these significantly impact your current health.

    Research multiple treatment options beyond medication, as antidepressants aren't always more effective than placebos.

    If stopping antidepressants, create a careful tapering plan with your doctor to avoid confusing withdrawal symptoms with returning depression.

    Focus on sleep, exercise, diet, and social connections as powerful tools for mental health improvement.

    Before taking any psychiatric medication, investigate both benefits and risks using independent sources.

    Connect with support groups and advocacy organisations for guidance through your mental health journey.

  • In today's episode, we delve into the fascinating world of your gut microbiome—often called your 'second brain'—with leading expert Dr. Jason Hawrelak - a researcher, educator, and naturopath with 25 years’ clinical experience.

    We explore how modern diets and environmental toxins are decimating our gut health, with shocking revelations about how 'forever chemicals' and the impact on our hea;th.

    From explaining faecal transplants to understanding the critical role of probiotics during antibiotic treatment, this conversation uncovers cutting-edge research about the gut-brain connection and its impact on ageing, mental health, and overall wellbeing.

    Whether you're struggling with digestive issues or simply want to optimise your health through personalised nutrition, this episode provides practical strategies to protect and enhance your microbiome in our modern toxic world.

    Key Topics:

    The Gut-Brain Connection: Exploring the microbiome as a 'second brain' and its communication pathways with the central nervous system

    Modern Diet Challenges: Processed foods, emulsifiers, and preservatives' impact on gut health and the microbiome

    Personalised Nutrition: The future of microbiome testing and customised dietary interventions based on individual gut profiles

    Key Takeaways:

    Minimise ultra-processed foods and preservatives to protect your gut barrier, which houses 80% of your immune system.

    When prescribed antibiotics, take Saccharomyces boulardii a few hours after each dose to support your gut health.

    Reduce exposure to 'forever chemicals' by choosing plastic-free food storage and minimising packaged foods.

    Eat a varied diet whilst young to build a diverse microbiome that will serve you well into old age.

    Follow the Japanese 'ikigai' principle by growing your own vegetables and staying active to maintain gut health as you age.

    Manage your stress levels actively, as there's a direct two-way relationship between stress and gut health.

  • In this second part of the mind-blowing conversation on The Paul Taylor Podcast, we explore the fascinating world of cellular health with Dr. Christabelle Yeoh who challenges our understanding of light, cold exposure, and mitochondrial function. Through a blend of cutting-edge science and practical applications, we uncover why sunlight impacts far more than just vitamin D levels, how red-light therapy directly activates your cellular powerhouses, and why your mother's genes might influence your mental health more than previously thought. From the science of cold exposure progression to the truth about trendy NAD+ supplements, this episode breaks down complex biochemistry into actionable steps for optimising your health. Using real-world examples and clinical experience, we tackle common misconceptions about sunlight exposure in Australia and reveal why mastering the basics might be more powerful than advanced biohacking techniques.

    Key Topics:

    Red Light Therapy & Mitochondria: Exploring how red and near-infrared light directly impacts mitochondrial function through Complex IV and cytochrome c oxidase

    Sunlight & Health Beyond Vitamin D: Australia's sun exposure paradox and the broader impacts of sunlight on hormones, mood, and metabolic health

    Mitochondrial Psychobiology: Examining the connection between mitochondrial function and psychological health, including maternal inheritance patterns

    Nutritional Support for Mitochondria: Detailed analysis of how specific nutrients, including B vitamins, NAD+, and methylation support mitochondrial complexes

    Supplementation Strategies: Critical evaluation of supplements including methylated B vitamins, NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide), and NR (Nicotinamide Riboside)

    Hormetic Stressors: Overview of beneficial stressors including fasting, cold exposure, and exercise for optimising mitochondrial health

    Cold Therapy Progression: Practical guidance on introducing cold exposure, from face plunges to cold showers, with emphasis on appropriate progression for different health conditions

    Key Takeaways:

    Prioritise regular sunlight exposure as it directly activates mitochondria and influences hormones, mood, and metabolism beyond just vitamin D production.

    Begin cold exposure therapy with gentle face plunges or brief cold showers rather than jumping straight into ice baths, especially if dealing with chronic conditions.

    Incorporate regular fasting into your routine as a fundamental tool for optimising mitochondrial function and metabolic flexibility.

    Consider personalised B vitamin supplementation based on your individual genetic makeup and health requirements.

    Support your mitochondrial complexes through targeted nutrition, NAD support for Complex 1, and red light therapy for Complex 4

    Master the fundamental health practices before advancing to more complex biohacking interventions.

    Include strategic exercise in your routine as it's a cornerstone of mitochondrial health and function.
