TV doctor Dr Rangan Chatterjee, 42, has revealed five simple steps everyone can take to reduce stress in their daily lives. Dr Chatterjee, the star of BBC 1’s documentary shows, Doctor in the House, was interviewed by Rani Singh (AV P9, 20 Jan 2018) where he spoke about his carefully thought out approach focuses on four pillars; movement, food, sleep and relaxation for his former book 4 Pillar Plan.
Dr Chatterjee still sees patients regularly in Cheshire, where he lives, and believes treating patients is his first priority, but he appreciates that through television, he reaches bigger numbers than he could ever hope to do practising on his own.
Speaking to Asian Voice, he said in his interview in 2018, “After nearly 17 years in conventional medicine, as a GP Rangan felt he was only helping roughly 20% of his patients since the health industry is so focussed on treatment using pharmaceutical solutions to problems.”
Dr Chatterjee in his new book The Stress Solution tackled the issue of stress triggers and their effects.
In an excerpt adapted for the Daily Telegraph, Dr Chatterjee explained that while we are unable to remove stressful situations completely from our lives, we can take steps to reduce their likelihood – like scheduling and reframing our day.
