  • Why Are Nurses & Doctors Burning Out In The UK?
    Oct 4 2025

    Why are doctors and nurses burning out in the NHS? In this episode of my Dose of Health podcast, I explore the reality behind the word burnout. It isn’t about weakness or laziness — it’s about a healthcare system that keeps asking staff to do the impossible with broken tools, endless bureaucracy, and too few resources. From junior doctors logging back in after night shifts, to nurses skipping meals just to keep up, and GPs drowning under hundreds of test results before 8am — this is the daily reality of the NHS workforce in 2025.I take a closer look at the latest NHS staff survey, pay erosion, understaffing, rising waiting lists, and IT systems that waste hours of clinical time. But most importantly, I show why healthcare professionals are not burning out because they’re weak — they’re burning out because they’re strong enough to keep going in a system designed to break them. If you care about the future of the NHS, or simply want to understand the crisis facing the people who care for us, this episode is essential.👉 Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe to my channel to support this movement and help more people hear the truth about what’s happening inside our NHS.

  • AI Girlfriends, Grandmas, and Therapists – What’s Going On? (Deen Somally)
    Sep 26 2025
    AI companions are here—friends, lovers, and even therapists that listen 24/7. In this Dose of Health podcast, Abhishek (hospital pharmacist) and Deen Somally unpack the loneliness epidemic, why millions are turning to AI chatbots like Character AI and Replika, and where AI companionship, AI girlfriends/boyfriends, and synthetic intimacy help—or harm—human connection. We explore AI therapist vs human therapist debates, CBT and AI, AI in psychiatry, and how healthcare AI could reduce NHS mental health waiting lists (UK) through on-demand 24/7 support, accessibility, and affordability—while tackling stigma and men’s mental health. We also dig into parasocial relationships, social-media echo chambers and polarization, AI and teens (Gen Z/Gen Alpha), and the ethics behind it all: AI ethics, AI safety, AI regulation, age verification, safeguarding online, elder safety online, and the rising risk of AI scams.From playful “AI grandma” role-play to real clinical use cases, we ask: Are chatbots filling a gap or replacing real relationships? What safeguards should exist for kids and older adults? And when should you choose a human over a bot? If you care about mental health tech, online therapy, and the future of care, this episode is for you. Watch, then drop your take: Would you trust an AI therapist?

  • Microsoft’s “AI Doctor” Explained—Revolution or Hype? (Deen Somally)
    Sep 19 2025
    In this episode of Dose of Health, Abhishek and Deen break down the rise of the AI doctor—from Microsoft’s multi-agent diagnostic system (MAIDXO) that reportedly hit 85% accuracy on complex NEJM case records vs 20% for human doctors (internal testing), to Google’s Med-Gemma and the open-source wave transforming medical AI. We unpack how reasoning models, orchestrator agents, and MDT-style “five-brain” setups can ask smarter questions, order only the right tests, cut bundle waste, and potentially save health systems millions. We also dig into misdiagnosis, healthcare costs, NHS “doctor in your pocket”, and what “AI in healthcare 2025” really means for patients and clinicians.Beyond hype, we debate limits: hallucinations, study caveats, ethics, and the irreplaceable human core—empathy, values, and consent. From global health (democratising expertise to Africa and beyond) to antibiotic stewardship and triage in real clinics, we ask: will AI replace doctors or supercharge them? If you care about medical diagnostics, clinical decision support, medical imaging AI, LLMs, and the future of primary care, this one’s for you.Chapters:00:00 Intro02:45 AI in Healthcare: The Big Revolution 03:45 Microsoft’s AI Doctor: MAIDXO Explained06:30 How AI Outperforms Human Doctors17:32 Cost, Efficiency, and the Future of Medical Testing 25:20 Democratizing Healthcare: Global Impact of AI 37:42 Google’s MedGemma & Open Source AI in Medicine 44:41 Will AI Replace Human Doctors?

  • Can AI Reverse Ageing? - Recent Breakthrough (Deen Somally)
    Sep 12 2025

    What if getting older didn’t have to mean feeling older? In this Dose of Health episode, Abhishek and Deen unpack a headline-grabbing breakthrough at the intersection of AI and longevity—from GPT-style models predicting amino acids to design next-gen Yamanaka factor proteins, to the dream (and risks) of cellular rejuvenation that could extend health span and fight age-related disease. We explore optimism from voices like Bryan Johnson, Aubrey de Grey, and David Sinclair, weigh cancer safety caveats, and ask whether society is ready if 70 feels like 40. Along the way, we talk GLP-1 weight-loss meds, “brain rot” worries for healthcare staff, and how AI in healthcare can free clinicians to focus on human care. We even open with presence and mindset—think Eckhart Tolle’s “The Power of Now”—because the future of health is as much about attention as it is about algorithms.If you’re curious about age reversal, AI-driven drug discovery, and the real-world path from lab to clinic, this conversation is for you. 👉 Drop a comment: if a safe, proven tech gave you 20 extra healthy years, what would you do with them?

  • Abhiuday Chandra: Overstimulation, Depression & The Mental Health Crisis No One Talks About
    Aug 28 2025
    Depression and anxiety are rising at alarming rates—over 1 in 10 people in the UK are on antidepressants, yet the crisis shows no sign of slowing. Could the hidden culprit be something we’ve overlooked: digital overstimulation? In this episode of Dose of Health, I sit down with entrepreneur Abhiuday, who battled his own journey with depression, antidepressants, and therapy before finding a new path. Together, we explore how endless notifications, dopamine overload, and shrinking attention spans are reshaping our brains, hijacking our focus, and leaving millions trapped in restlessness and burnout.We go deep into the science of overstimulation—its impact on dopamine, serotonin, and the nervous system—and ask the big questions: Are we treating the root cause of depression, or just masking symptoms? Is lifelong medication the only solution, or can breathwork, meditation, and mental fitness offer an alternative? Abhiuday also shares how his personal struggles inspired him to create Zenfinity, a platform designed to help people reclaim calm in a noisy world. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of scrolling, stress, or self-doubt, this episode will change how you see mental health—and how you care for your mind.Chapters:00:00 Introduction 00:13 The Epidemic of Overstimulation05:34 How Overstimulation Affects the Brain and our belief system 11:25 Instant Gratification, Dopamine, Addiction & Social Media15:31 Breathing, Anxiety, and the Nervous System 23:01 Overstimulation and the Rise of Depression25:12 Antidepressants: Band-Aid or Solution?31:38 Antidepressants: Use, Limits, and Personal Story38:04 What is Creativity?40:52 Substances, Microdosing, and the Search for Relief47:29 Therapy vs. Meditation: Finding What Works01:00:04 Building Zenfinity App & Tools for Mental Fitness01:04:59 Dose of HealthMusic from #uppbeat:https://uppbeat.io/t/arend/emberLicense code: KQLJIRR0OZP5PEDSAbhiuday's Social:Instagram: @abhiudaychangra Zenfinity app: @zenfinity.app Connect With Me-Instagram- @ abhishekkatiyaryt TikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@abhishekkatiy...Buy Me A Coffee- http://buymeacoffee.com/AbhishekYT
