Welcome to “Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine”
This is the podcast that explores how a person’s lifestyle can be the key to their health and happiness.
What do you do when you are sick and don’t know the cause of your illness?
Well, like any regular person, you would go to your doctor’s appointment, and in that 10-minute appointment, the doctor might come up with a diagnosis or send you for tests. This can be part of the process, but many people have to wait until they are really sick to fit into a diagnosis. Then they are given medicine to help the symptoms but not treat the cause. But what if you are given medication before you get a clear diagnosis? Can this help or hinder it?
This was the case of Dr. Sally Bell; she is an NHS General Practitioner in the UK with expertise in lifestyle medicine. She has been working as a community doctor for more than 20 years in the UK and Africa and still, today, works part-time in NHS urgent care.
When she suffered health issues, she trusted her doctors but didn’t get the answers she wanted. The medical model that she was taught let her down. This made her look deeper into the root cause of her problems which she managed to heal with lifestyle changes. She is now convinced that there are better solutions to complex and chronic health problems than the conventional medical approach. This led her to undertake more training in Functional Medicine, which opened her eyes to the body’s remarkable ability to heal itself. But, as she now knows, it can only do that if you learn how to create the right conditions.
In today’s episode, Dr. Sally Bell takes us through her journey to cure herself and how she developed the five foundations of well-being. She explains why nutrition, movement, sleep, rest, and connection are the pillars of a healthy life.
Join us and learn why lifestyle problems require lifestyle solutions.

Ed Paget is an osteopath, writer, presenter, and creator of both the Scoliosis Correction Protocol and the Back Pain Correction Protocol.
Over the last 15 years working with private clients he has developed a system of unique assessments and treatments that aim to unravel the complex web of compensations that we all have to reveal the underlying cause of illness or injury. This unique approach hasn’t gone unnoticed and Ed was recruited to work with the Canadian National Speed Skating team and was invited to the Sochi Olympics as part of team Canada’s medical contingent. He is currently a consultant to the Calgary Sport Institute and has been asked to share his Fascia stretching protocol or F.A.S.T class with both the National Alpine ski team and Biathlon team.
Over the last 10 years Ed has been building a YouTube library to help people manage their own pain or movement limitations and increase performance through exercise. He regularly adds videos so be sure to subscribe and visit regularly
"Oh My Gosh- I am ALREADY feeling relief after a few days! I used to wake up 2-3 times a night with shooting pain that anti inflammatories couldn't touch. Now I have been waking up just because I want to notice what it feels like to lay in bed pain free- THANK YOU!."
"When I first started with your program I was experience a lot of pain. Walking was difficult. I had to stop and catch my breath every few minutes and lean against a wall for support. Now when I walk with my husband we go for over an hour. I never had to sit down and stop...and, hardly any pain!!! 😊😊 I can’t thank you enough."
