Stress Reset Mini Series: Your Nervous System Needs Safety with Dr Shami

Obesity has long been explained as a simple equation of eating too much and exercising too little. But what if that story doesn't explain everyone's biology?

In this episode, Dr Shami sits down with physician and author Dr Adaure Osuji to discuss her thought-provoking new book, Obesogenic: The Quiet Biology Driving Black Obesity in a World Engineered to Make Everyone Sick.

Together, they explore emerging ideas about insulin, metabolism, genetics, the microbiome, and why conventional models of obesity and type 2 diabetes may not fully explain what we see in every patient. Dr Osuji shares why she believes hyperinsulinaemia deserves far greater attention, introduces the concept of the "Glucose Hyper-Responder," and discusses how these ideas could influence the way we think about prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

This conversation is not simply about weight loss. It's about understanding the biology that may sit upstream of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and many other chronic conditions, while recognising where current evidence is strong and where further research is still needed.

Whether you're a healthcare professional or someone interested in understanding metabolic health more deeply, this episode will challenge you to think differently.

Is Obesity Really About Willpower? The Hidden Biology We've Been Missing with  Dr Adaure Osuji

In this episode of SIX Hats, Dr. Shami sits down with ADHD coach and consultant Francine Freedman to explore the realities of high functioning ADHD in adults.

Many people with ADHD appear successful on the outside with careers, businesses, families, achievements and yet internally feel overwhelmed, exhausted, emotionally dysregulated, or constantly “behind.” Francine shares practical insights into why ADHD is often missed in adults, particularly women and high achievers, and explains how understanding the ADHD brain can transform self-worth, productivity, relationships, and wellbeing.

Together, they discuss nervous system regulation, burnout, masking, emotional overwhelm, procrastination, dopamine-seeking behaviours, and the importance of building systems that support,  rather than fight against — the ADHD brain.

The ADHD Advantage: Rewriting Success with Francine Freedman, ADHD Coach

Burnout doesn’t always look like breaking down.

For many men, it looks like continuing to function, going to work, supporting others, staying productive while quietly feeling exhausted, irritable, and disconnected.

In this episode, Dr Shami explores the early signs of burnout that are often overlooked, and why recognising them early can make all the difference.

This conversation offers a deeper understanding of how burnout develops, not just mentally, but physically,  through the nervous system, hormones, and lifestyle patterns.

If you’ve been feeling “off” but can’t quite explain why, this episode will help you connect the dots.
