It’s not about being perfect, but if we can get it right more often than not, the potential benefits are massive and long-lasting.

By the time we’re finished we’ll know what we can do today to help our health in the short term, long term and time in between. There’s something for all of us, at any point in our journey. Afterall, we’ve all got to start somewhere and the great thing is, it’s never too late.

Content Warning Please think about your own health situation and consider chatting with a medical professional before trying any of this advice – especially if you're on any medication or have any existing health concerns. And also, there's a bit of colourful language here and there. Sorry!

Episode 1: The Hosepipe

Jamie reflects about the things he’s learned over the years not just in the kitchen, but also growing his own food in the garden and asks what we can all do to be that little bit better when it comes to our health. To kick things off he talks with Dr Emily Leeming, a research scientist at King’s College, London, and a registered dietician. They start this journey in the gut, but why?

Episode 2: The Food Voice

Jamie wants to know why he’s always thinking about food and what exactly ‘appetite’ is. Professor Giles Yeo is a geneticist at Cambridge University who studies obesity and the way the brain controls what we eat. He explains to Jamie why he might find a bacon sandwich so hard to resist and why controlling what’s in your cupboard can help us to control our appetite.

Episode 3: Chew on That

Jamie’s keen to discover if it’s not just about what we eat, but the way we eat it too! He asks Sarah Berry, a professor of Nutritional Sciences at King’s College, London, and they uncover the hidden secrets of food texture, and the impact that chewing soft foods versus crunchy foods has on our health. And Jools and Jamie talk about bringing up their five children and finding ways to get more veg into their lives.

Episode 4: The Butterflies

Can what you eat actually affect the size of your brain? Dr Megan Rossi, a gut-health scientist and registered dietician and nutritionist, talks to Jamie about the connection between our brains and our guts and how what’s going on in your head, affects what’s going on in your gut, as well as the other way around. Also, Jamie learns some special breathing techniques to help… erm…move things along. Plus, why stressed people fart more!

Episode 5: The Silent Gym

Why can’t Jamie get enough good sleep? Jason Ellis, Professor of Psychology at Northumbria University and Director of the Northumbria Centre for Sleep Research, has helped Jamie with his own sleep problems over the years. Here they’ll dive deep into sleep cycles, better sleep, and explore the way the foods we eat can help or hinder sleep. Plus, he'll de-code one of Jamie’s recurring dreams!

Episode 6: Age Disgracefully

Is age really just a number? As Jamie reflects on turning 50, he meets Professor Rose Anne Kenny who is Regius Professor of Medicine at Trinity College Dublin and a leading expert in the field of aging. They discuss chronological versus biological age and how to protect your memory as you grow old disgracefully. Plus, Jamie’s parents pop over for a cup of tea.
