Thank you for your patience in waiting for the first Health-e-Byte of 2026!
I’m very excited to announce that I’ve been devoting my time to producing a podcast that will launch on Monday 20th April!
The podcast is called ‘Healing with Dr Helena’ and you’ll be able to watch it on my YouTube by clicking here, or you can listen on your preferred podcast platform. I’ll publish a new episode every Monday, and you’ll receive an email notification on the preceding Wednesday. Please subscribe to my podcast or YouTube channel so that you don’t miss an episode.
But why the picture of an indigenous Australian painting, which I photographed while I was on the Fraser Coast in Queensland?
I chose this painting to introduce my podcast because Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people hold a profoundly holistic and interconnected worldview, where the health of the individual, the community, and the planet (referred to as Country) are inseparable. Health for indigenous people is not just the absence of disease, but a state of total wellbeing, involving physical, social, emotional, cultural, and spiritual components. This is precisely the premise of my podcast.
So who is my podcast for?
It’s for anyone who wants to come alive and thrive, rather than merely survive!
It’s for people who want to:
- Boost their brain to perform at their peak throughout their life
- Avert Alzheimer’s and other dementias
- Live longer, stronger, healthier and happier.
It’s also for people for whom modern medicine isn’t delivering enough answers, and doesn’t provide a cure.
I’ve structured the podcast in a way that I think will be most useful, relevant, and engaging for you.
Each episode will start with a Brain Booster — an immediately implementable strategy to boost your brain. So if that’s the only thing you’re interested in, you can tune out after that. But you won’t want to!
Because the second segment is a Health Headline. Here I’ll discuss what I believe are the most pressing subjects related to achieving vibrant health. I’ll challenge the way we currently view disease, and offer a new paradigm for true healing.
This will lead to the third segment, where I answer the question: What’s missing from modern medicine? In my 30-plus years of being a doctor, I’ve discovered that modern medicine has a lot of blind spots. I’m not throwing the baby out with the bathwater, because modern medicine has a lot to offer, but it also has serious omissions that need to be addressed.
And the fourth and concluding segment of each podcast will be the Whether Report. That’s not a misspelling. The Whether Report is where I’ll answer your questions. Just for the fun of it, please ask your questions about any health-related topic using the word Whether.
For example:
- I’d like to know whether butter is healthier than margarine?
- Can you tell me whether alcohol is really a carcinogen?
- Whether we need to drink 2 litres of water a day?
You get the idea. With a bit of creativity, you can fit any question into the whether format.
Please send your questions to: podcast@drhelenapopovic.com
If you’re happy for me to play your voice on my podcast, you can provide an audio file. Otherwise, you can type your question for me to read out.
I very much look forward to answering your questions and exploring how we can all build a smarter brain, stronger body and deeply fulfilling life.
Please forward this Health-e-Byte to anyone who is a podcast listener!
