Weight Management in the Era of GLP-1s: A Deep Dive with Dr Melissa Beitner, Bariatric Surgeon

In this episode of SIX Hats, Dr Shami is joined by neuroscientist Cameron Allen, founder of Neuroprogeny, to explore why nervous system regulation may be the missing link in healing — especially for people who feel they’ve “tried everything.”

Together, they unpack:
What nervous system regulation actually means (beyond breathwork and mindset)
Why chronic stress and survival states are so common in modern life
How learning safety in the body can unlock physical, emotional, and cognitive healing
Why symptoms often persist when the nervous system remains dysregulated

This conversation is essential listening for anyone experiencing burnout, anxiety, chronic symptoms, or feeling stuck despite doing all the “right” things.

When Behaviour Isn’t a Disorder: The Power of Parenting First with Rajes Harper, Educational Psychologist

In this episode of Six Hats, Dr. Shami sits down with Dr. Brian Ang—ophthalmologist, nutritional medicine advocate, and founder of Nutravision.

Through his clinical work, he began connecting the dots between vision, inflammation, ageing, micronutrient status, and the brain—and discovered how profoundly nutrition shapes long-term eye and systemic health.

Today, Dr. Ang shares the story behind Nutravision, why he believes targeted supplementation is the next frontier for protecting the eyes, and how precision nutrition can slow degeneration, support cognition, and optimise wellbeing as we age.

If you’re interested in the intersection of vision science, integrative medicine, and the future of healthy ageing, this episode is a must-listen.
