People who've had substance abuse with drugs and alcohol, if they have mindfulness training, which allows them to feel their internal sensations and their signals, it reduces the rate of relapse, reduces the rate of depression, improves how they feel about themselves.

I sometimes wonder, Chris, why I have this approach to health that I do, because it's not similar to most doctors. I think the way I look at health, and I think there's a few things that have influenced the way I see the world. One is my upbringing. I I'm the child of Indian immigrants to the UK. So my dad came in 1962 to the UK in search of a better life.

And I grew up with this clash of cultures right at home, this Indian upbringing where we very much see food as medicine, where if I have a cold or a sore throat, mum is putting extra turmeric in my food or making me hot ginger and honey and turmeric and saying, you have to drink that before you go to school. And then at school, I was getting this more Western mindset.

And I think that clash really comes when you get to medical school, where it is very much about what does the research trial show? I'm not against science at all. I think science is wonderful.

But what I've realised over the past few years is actually what a lot of these traditional healing modalities like traditional Indian medicine, Ayurvedic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine had, which we don't so much have in Western medicine, is a real appreciation of the individual. The individual, every individual is different. They all need a slightly different approach.

But the model we get taught, Chris, is what does the randomized controlled trial say? Okay, so very simplistically, let's give 100 people this treatment and 100 people don't get the treatment. On average, does it work or not? And if enough people benefit, we say, yes, on average, this is a statistically significant finding. This treatment works.

But the problem is if you go under the hood there, you will find that even in the group where it wasn't statistically significant, some people still got better. So it doesn't account for the individual. And I think this is why I'm so passionate about this idea, because science is great to help inform us. But you may not be the person who was in that randomised controlled trial.
