Why You’re Doing Everything Right… and Still Not Feeling Better: The Truth About Stress & Lifestyle Medicine with Dr Nupur Nag
Most people think better health comes from tightening up their training and nutrition. But what happens when you’re already doing everything right—eating well, exercising consistently, hitting your steps, and your body still crashes?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr Nupur Nag, a research academic and lifestyle medicine expert who has lived through chronic illness, burnout, and extreme dietary restriction, even while she was studying the science behind health.
Together, we unpack the 8 lifestyle pillars that influence your brain and body, why stress quietly overrides all your good habits, and why many “healthy” people still feel anxious, fatigued, inflamed, or stuck.
We cover:
Why chronic stress rewires the brain and how to reverse it
The 15-year mistake Nupur made by focusing only on food
Why training harder won’t fix a dysregulated nervous system
The 8 pillars of lifestyle medicine and how to apply them to real life
How loneliness, lack of purpose, and poor sleep affect neurological health
Why small, consistent actions always beat restriction and perfection
Nupur’s work using AI and precision health to help people change behaviour
This episode is honest, deeply practical, and full of lessons you can apply today, especially if you’re someone who “looks healthy” but doesn’t feel healthy.
