Beyond Medicine: The Science and Art of Healing with Professor Paul Dieppe
Modern medicine is extraordinarily good at diagnosing and treating disease. But is treating disease the same thing as healing?
In this episode, Dr Shami speaks with Professor Paul Dieppe, physician, researcher and author of Healing and Medicine: A Doctor’s Journey Toward Their Integration.
After a distinguished career in academic medicine and rheumatology, Paul's curiosity increasingly turned towards something conventional medicine often struggles to define: healing.
Their conversation explores the idea that healing may involve much more than the treatment itself. The relationship between doctor and patient, feeling heard and understood, expectation, belief, meaning, intention and the context in which treatment is delivered may all influence the experience and potentially the outcome of healthcare.
They explore the fascinating science of placebo and nocebo and ask whether we have underestimated the biological power of the therapeutic relationship.

Why We Need to Play Again: Movement as Medicine with Darryl Edwards
What if the secret to becoming healthier wasn’t exercising harder but learning how to play again?
In this episode of the Six Hats Podcast, Dr Shami sits down with Darryl Edwards, movement coach, author, international speaker and founder of the Primal Play Method®.
Darryl’s own story is remarkable. After spending almost two decades working in investment-banking technology and living an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, he began rethinking his relationship with exercise and movement.
That journey eventually led him to create Primal Play, an approach that combines movement, play and functional fitness to make physical activity something we actually want to do.
Today, his work brings together exercise physiology, evolutionary biology, neuroscience and the psychology of play. His work has also expanded into lifestyle medicine, healthy ageing and exercise oncology.
In this conversation, we explore why so many of us struggle to exercise consistently, what modern life has taken away from the way humans naturally move, and why joy may be one Why adults stop playing and what we lose when we do

In this episode, Dr Shami speaks with pelvic and sexual health physiotherapist and author Lisa Fitzpatrick about what she calls “The Feminine Shift”, the transition through menopause and midlife and the opportunity it can create for women to reconnect with themselves.
