This episode is designed to encourage you to take actions to improve your health by living a more plant-based, body-moving and mind-focused lifestyle, thereby moving towards your new normal.

I tell you about:

Three recently published scientific papers worth knowing about (one on napping, one on physical activity, and one on dietary protein intake)
Some videos, podcasts and books I've valued lately
What's been recently happening in one of my healthy lifestyle pillars - sleep
Four new challenges I've made after hearing some of the recent guests on the show

I invite you to listen to the scientific evidence, experience-based information and real-life stories on this show so you might make choices in leading your life to help you live vibrantly, happily, purposefully, for a long time, disease-free, and above all with a low risk of ever being admitted to the Intensive Care Unit, the place in the hospital where I work.

Perhaps you might consider a 28 day challenge (or even a 7 day one) yourself. Small steps are important. Incremental change, particularly around habits, can be very beneficial for your health and happiness.

Live well, feel well, do well.

Dr Andrew Davies
