    Jan 23 2025

    AI is becoming a bigger part of our lives every single day, but its one thing using artificial intelligence to search for answers to questions on ChatGPT, its quite another to rely on AI to solve health care problems and even diagnose illnesses.

    But that is exactly what is happening already.

    In this episode I talk about the areas in which AI is already being deployed, such as helping scientists carry out research in a fraction of time, diagnosing cancer cases from scans and even in the real-time monitoring of biometrics.

    Plus I discuss how AI's ability to save lives has already been established and will only grow in the future.

  • # 479 - Are you eating your way to dementia ?
    Jan 13 2025

    50 million people suffer with dementia today, that figure will triple in the coming 20 years. While genetics does play a role, lifestyle and behaviours such as the foods we eat are a siginificant contributor to whether we become a dementa patient or not. I examine the role food plays in our potential to acquire dementia. Plus I look at the foods that accelerate the likelihood of us suffering cognitive decline, and contrast these against brain boosting foods. I also show the association between insulin resistance and the most common form of dementia, alzheimers disease.

  • # 478 - Mindfulness : live your best life - Prof Ellen Langer
    Jan 9 2025
    Prof Langer's book : https://amzn.to/3WW7UPg Prof Ellen Langer also known as the Mother of Mindfulness, became the first woman to receive tenure in psychology at Harvard University, she has spent the last forty-five-years researching mindlessness and mindfulness. She has published hundreds of articles and numerous bestselling books including her latest, The Mindful body. Her research and books focus on the illusion of control, mindful aging, health, stress and decision-making. She is very much a believer in the idea that the mind and body are unified and not separate as has been the conventionally accepted concept underpinning western medicine. In this episode Prof Langer determines what she means when she uses the term mindfulness and how it differs from the concept that many people believe it to be. We hear what prompted her to study mindfulness in the first place. Throughout the interview Prof Langer gives examples of the groundbreaking research she has performed, including the famous Counterclockwise study which looked at what effects turning back the clock psychologically would have on an older adult's physiological state. We talk about the power of mindset, perception and we hear about the impact mindset had on the physiology of chambermaids. Expect to learn why Professor Langer believes the mind and body are one entity. We hear about mindlessness and learn Professor Langer's thoughts on probability, the pointlessness of making predictions and how best to make decisions. Professor Ellen Langer is a titan in the field of psychology, I was so honoured to have her on the podcast, I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I did. https://psychology.fas.harvard.edu/pe...https://www.ellenlanger.me/ Music : Credit purple planet music Music used is Purple planet Music Order Happy Habits for Mind and Body Audiobook: https://rb.gy/h5jjjg Order Kindle copy of Happy Habits for Mind and Body : https://amzn.to/4c9T38f Order US paperback of Happy Habits for Mind and Body : https://amzn.to/4bxczeT Order UK paperback of Happy Habits for Mind and Body : https://rb.gy/jtfea5 Listen to all previous podcast episodes of the Happy Habit Podcast via these podcast platforms : Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast...
