Live Well Be Well with Sarah Ann Macklin | Health, Lifestyle, Nutrition

This week's Live Well Be Well Moment with Dr David Rock, neuroscientist, author and founder of the NeuroLeadership Institute.
We delve into why everything in life is processed by the brain as either a threat or a reward, why being left out hurts as much as physical pain, and what understanding this changes about the way you see yourself and others.

This week's Live Well Be Well Moment with Dr David Rock, neuroscientist, author and founder of the NeuroLeadership Institute.
We delve into the SCARF model, the five things your brain is constantly scanning for in every interaction: status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness and fairness. Once you understand these, human behaviour starts to make a lot more sense.

⚠️ This episode discusses antidepressants, mental health treatment, withdrawal and sensitive topics around psychiatric medication. Please seek professional guidance before making any changes to your medication.
This week I'm joined by Dr Mark Horowitz, clinical research fellow in psychiatry, co-author of the Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines, and one of the most important voices in the world right now on antidepressants and how to come off them safely.
We explore the science behind antidepressants, what they actually do to the brain, and what nobody told you about coming off them.
Dr Mark Horowitz is a clinical research fellow at University College London and North East London NHS Foundation Trust. He co-authored the Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines, which have begun to change clinical guidance on antidepressant withdrawal worldwide. His research on tapering and withdrawal has been published in leading medical journals and has directly influenced NHS and international prescribing guidelines. He founded the National Prescribing Support Service and has trained clinicians at Outro Health in America in safer tapering approaches. He has personal experience of antidepressant withdrawal, which led him to dedicate his career to helping others through the same process.
What we explore together:
Why 1 in 6 people in England are on antidepressants — and whether we are overprescribing

What antidepressants actually do to the brain and why the chemical imbalance theory is misleading

Why the clinical trial data on antidepressants is far less impressive than most people realise

The emotional blunting effect — what it is, why it happens and what to do about it

Why 85% of people recover from depression within 12 months with no intervention at all

What withdrawal actually feels like — and why doctors so often get it wrong

How to taper safely and why doing it too fast causes so much unnecessary suffering

What the alternatives to antidepressants are and why they are rarely offered first

Love, Sarah Ann 💛

This week's Live Well Be Well Moment with Marisa Peer, world-renowned therapist and founder of Rapid Transformational Therapy.
We delve into how Marisa discovered hypnotherapy in West Hollywood, the extraordinary results she saw immediately, and why the subconscious mind responds to hypnosis in a way that no other therapy can replicate.
