Nik and Eva Speakman explain why good gut health means good mental health. Up to 95% of our serotonin (the happy hormone!) is created in the gut, which is why the Speakmans are so passionate about making sure you’re eating well to support your mental health. Plus, Nik reveals how his bowels helped develop their Schema therapy, and neuroscientist daughter Liv pops into the sitting room to explain the concept of neural pathways.

There's always hope
Deep rooted? That's just an excuse
Letting the bullies build us
Speaking is healing
It’s not what’s wrong with you, it’s what happened to you
Confidence saboteurs
Anything is possible
Addiction is not for life
Lesser known symptoms of anxiety
It’s the setbacks that move us forward
Labels are for clothes, not people
On the good, bad, and ugly of family
On festive food anxieties
On being smart with your smart phone
On faking it ‘til you make it
On pausing your panic
On low self-esteem and confidence
On being persistent
On why a bad day isn't a bad life
On doubting yourself
