This episode is a rebroadcast of my appearance on the October Health podcast Pressure Point. I sat down with October Health’s Alon Lits, who you may remember from my PANDA health episode because PANDA is now called October Health. October Health is an AI-powered performance psychology tool that can measure, track and improve staff performance and w…

After 25 years of meeting and treating people in pain, I have learnt that chronic pain is a complex condition, and solutions often prove illusive. And as the pain continues month after month, year after year, failed treatment after failed treatment, doctor after doctor, people fall into depression, disillusionment and despair. Understandably so. Th…

They are the unsung heroes of the body. Those trust steeds that move us through the journey of life, taking us from place to place, moment to moment, adventure to adventure. That’s right - our feet. These humble appendages are so often overlooked, taken for granted and expected to be okay. But feet need to be cared for and considered like everythin…

You can survive weeks without food, days without water but only a few minutes without your breath. Yet when thinking about health, we spend so much time debating diets and exercise, and too little discussing how we breath, why we breathe, what we can use breathing for and the unexpected but meaningful places breathing can take us. So today’s episod…

The universe works in mysterious ways. Last week’s episode was all about getting quiet to hear more, and somehow this week’s episode is all about going into the dark to see more. We live in an overstimulated, hyperdrive world, and it’s leaving many of us living in dis-ease and disorder. More and more, we are all looking into screens for answers whe…

Rest, relax, listen, less, be. Sounds simple, yet it’s not. In this modern plugged in, digital day so many of us our stuck in rush, push, argue, more and do. But where are we rushing to? What are we pushing for? Why are we doing what we do? When I ask people those why and who questions, you know what I get back? Silence. Ironically so because the a…

Whether NAFLD or MASLD, the facts remain the same - livers are sicker than they’ve ever been. And the reason why is the crux of this episode. It’s not the ills of old like hepatitis or alcohol that’s actually why the majority of liver transplants are done - it’s fatty livers. And the saddest part - fatty liver disease is a completely avoidable and …

So nice, I had to do it twice. Or rather - so down beat, I had to do a repeat. I have done back to back episodes on the anti-nutrients in our food, especially the nasty nature of oxalates, because the topic is hugely unknown of. This was a truly mind-opening episode with Sally Norton. I saw so many interrelated health problems that may have oxalate…

Protein, carbs or fat? That’s what 99% of us are thinking about when it comes to food. But there is so much more to food, and that is what this episode is all about. Is your food nutritious? That’s what we wonder, but are we asking if it’s anti-nutritious!? A true pain to purpose story is why Teri Cochrane is on the show today sharing the science a…

This episode about cancer is a game-changer. 99% of anyone who listens to this will encounter concepts around cancer they have never heard before. Not only does Dr Katie Deming throw ideas about cancer being a genetic disease well and truly into the dustbin, she is putting forth a cancer ideology that breaks every medical mold. And that’s why I lov…

People don’t want to believe it but men are in trouble. From college and university attendance to suicide and friendship, the men are not alright. Why? Well, there is no one single answer but I suspect a significant cause underlying men’s ills is because they don’t have the testosterone they need. So that’s what today’s episode is about with Dr Tra…

Every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. Let that sink in. How can it be? How can it be that cancer diagnoses are only growing at the same time that there is more and more funding to fight cancer, more and more cancer drugs and more and more cancer doctors? Well, Dr Toni Galardi has a few things to say about that. Dr. Toni Galardi h…

Feeling like you can’t take it anymore? Completely exhausted? Like no matter how much you do, you’re never getting anywhere? Life feeling dead, and like you don’t even have one more drop of energy to give? You aren’t alone. Not even close. At minimum 1 in 3 people are holistically and wholly exhausted, suffering what we now call burnout. Especially…

Is trauma bad? It’s not as simple an answer as you think. Trauma is associated with negativity - pain, abuse, depression, sadness. But trauma is actually also associated with things like resilience, anti-fragility, post-traumatic growth and yes, success. Why is that? Why do some people find power in pain, and others are unable to overcome hardship?…

As the human story continues to evolve, many in modern times dismiss the practices and wisdoms of times gone by. Katie Silcox is not one of them. Reviving and re-embodying the 3,000 year old practice of Ayurvedic medicine and eclectic mysticism, Katie is approaching women’s health with an ancient and magical lens. The first principle of Ayurvedic m…

One of the blessings of doing this show is speaking to someone who is truly changing the world and future of healthcare. Dr Andrew Hill is one of those someone’s. This show inspired me with hope, and I know it will you too, because it takes so-called diseases like ADHD and anxiety and then not only looks at them from a paradigm shifting point of vi…

What is a marriage? A piece of paper? A covenant? A contract? I know what marriage is and has been to me, but I also know that divorce rates are about 50% and like chronic disease, I would say we are losing the war against marriage, the relationship that for most people will form the crux of their lifelong community as first a child and then a pare…

What is the state of world health today? And what does the future hold? For the first time in a while, I sense some real hope. It’s not every day one gets to speak to someone who is and has been at the forefront of public health for decades and decades, and that’s exactly who Dr Derek Yach is. This episode is incredibly informative, with profound i…

Autoimmune disease is set to cost the US over 1 billion dollars in healthcare needs a year. That number is frighteningly large. And that is what an autoimmune disease condition and diagnosis does to people – it scares them, they feel overwhelmed, doomed and like the situation is too big for them to manage. I have seen this too many times in my life…

What is your rhythm? What is your beat? Who are your tribe? These are important questions to ask oneself as we navigate into a new year,, and another fresh opportunity arises for anyone and everyone to start anew. I ask those questions because it is your vibe that attracts your tribe, and there is nothing more powerful and human than breathwork to …

It’s been over 3 years since my episode with Dr Jack Kruse, and this is still my most downloaded and viewed episode in over 180 episodes. As I near my 200th episode, I wanted to reshare this episode for my newer listeners because it is so valuable! Dr. Jack Kruse is a world-respected neurosurgeon and CEO of Optimized Life and Kruse Longevity Center…

What a year 2023 has been! It’s been tough, which I have been open and vulnerable about on the show, but I am also inspired and hopeful about the future thanks to talking to people all over the world working tirelessly to serve humanity. Whether trauma experts or hormone savants or the father of biohacking itself, 2023 was filled with incredible pe…

Can you be honest, open and vulnerable with a group of strangers? Share your scariest truths and deepest pains? I believe we all can, but most of us don’t for fear of judgment, shame and embarrassment. But I believe all of us need to overcome fear and immerse ourselves with community, and tap into the powerful healing power of being surrounded. Whi…

This is the protein episode. The diet wars are raging stronger than ever, so I receive a lot of questions about which diet is best and what food to eat for weight loss or if plant protein is really as good as animal protein. I’m not picking sides either, everyone is unique and has the autonomy to make their own choices, but I do want to be on the s…

This is my third show of the year on sexual health! Before 2023, I had done no shows on this topic. So why so many now? I believe this could be one of the most overlooked aspects of our health and wellbeing. Everyone has heard plenty about diet and exercise, but who can discuss their sexual archetype, sexual matrix or sexual MOJO? Exactly. And that…

The psychedelic revolution isn’t coming. It is here, and it is moving at full pace in the United States, and within the next year or two many drugs that people still associate with partying will become the gold standard in mental health care and medicine. I have such hope for the future of psychedelics and believe it is crucially important to educa…

Decisions, decisions, decisions. I don’t think people appreciate the sheer volume of decisions they make every day. This has led to decision fatigue, as well as with the added daily stressors of modern life a willpower gap crisis. Add engineered food at an industrial scale and we have a food addiction epidemic driving the rampant obesity and diabet…

Something must be done to change the trajectory of human health because the trends are catastrophic. But my mission is to transform lives and empower people to a life of good health, so despite sometimes feeling like this war is too big to win, I also know there are so many health heroes out there fighting in the same fight I am. That includes Dr C…

Brain health has been at the top of my health radar for 2023. I have already done powerful episodes with Dr Dale Bredesen and Dr Kristen Willeumier, but this episode with incredible genius and inventor Dr Brandon Crawford blew me away. He is taking brain health and healing to a new level with his custom-invented lasers that leverage different frequ…

You know when you are in the presence of a true expert, and that would describe my guest today, Dr Matt Cook. He has a deep well of knowledge and experience when it comes to everything regenerative health and what we can do to both extend our life and extend the good, healthy years of life. If you have any interest in peptides or stem cells or are …

If you lose your mind, you lose your life and I'm seeing more people losing their mind, & therefore their life. 2023's been my hardest year of seeing more & more people fall into despair as their brain degenerates so rapidly. We need to do something about this. A few months ago I had Dr Dale Bredesen to prove to people Alzheimer’s can be reversed, …

Start-stop, start-stop, start-stop. I see it every day & have seen it every day for over 20 years. What am I talking about? Exercise. Or movement. Why? Why are people unable to sustain a movement or exercise practice despite it being more powerful than any diet could ever do? Tony Horton knows why, & I believe may have broken the start-start code. …

Did you have a good sex education? Almost nobody does or did. & that is why there is so much shame around the topic of sex, & why we are so unaware of the profound healing & health potential that exists in the sexual realm. I also love it because it brings it back to everyone’s uniqueness, & their unique sexual “data”. This was an enlightening & en…

Health is about much more than the physical. Even more than the mental. I sense more and more ill health and disease are coming from people’s lack of care for their emotional and spiritual worlds. That’s why I brought Dr Erica Matluck on the show. She is doing the type of holistic medicine I believe in the next decades will become more mainstream t…

Here’s the truth - you cannot be healthy any longer living in an urban environment without supplements. Yet people are always reluctant to spend more on supplements, and also feel confused by the amount and variety on offer. But I am convinced that alongside vitamin d, anyone not living near the sea and eating fresh seafood needs to take supplement…

Nobody has done more to popularise biohacking than Dave Asprey. In fact, he invented the word biohacking. A big inspiration & teacher to me, it was a great honor for it to come full circle & have Dave on the show to talk about his biohacking journey & where he sees the field going. We get into the lessons from his new book Smarter Not Harder & Dave…

Trauma is a big word these days. I hear it now everywhere all the time. But if everything and anything is traumatic, are we left with a world of only trauma and traumatised people, and where is the space for resilience, overcoming and growth? That’s why I can’t believe how perfect the timing was for this podcast with Britt Frank. Britt is no strang…

We each have our own unique why. A calling. A mission. My guest today Erik Korem has a mission to keep people to account. He has spent considerable time and effort studying all the companies promising their devices can change your health, actually checking the research & calling it like it is. We have interesting debates in the show, but ultimately…

Would you believe your genes could predict what job you should do, how to manage family politics and what kind of intimate partner you would be most attracted to? I wasn’t sure about it, but I was blown away by the calling and confidence of my genetic expert guest today Kashif Khan. Yes, Kashif is a genetic detective, and has transformed lives by u…

Dr Dale Bredesen has demonstrated that we have entered into the new era of Alzheimer’s care, and that we are already amongst the horrible disease’s first survivors. He makes an incredibly bold statement that getting Alzheimer’s disease is “truly optional”. Wow! What an incredible message of self-empowerment and hope. We need this episode more than …

When it comes to getting healthier, diet is everyone’s go to. But I always say, it’s the easiest thing to change but also the hardest. Why? Because changing what you eat is not hard as all the better options are available. In theory. Why it is the hardest is because people get into habits, they are influenced by their environment, they choose conve…

The world is on fire. And no, not in the climate change way. Biologically. Inflammation is rampant. I have never seen so many people suffering with chronic and raging biological inflammation. The question is why? I have my ideas, but today I brought on an expert in the disorders and diseases that may be causing the inflammation as well as a piece o…

Recently I was a guest on a local podcast called Stanger Talks with host Noah Stanger. The podcast is about sparking inspiration and fuelling ambition in people by sharing the stories of people who have made successful and significant strides in their fields and what the strategies and mindsets are to get people there. So it was an honour to be ask…

When it comes to health everything matters. But I am starting to sense that at the top of the pyramid may be hormonal health. Hormones are the communication chemicals in our bodies that in effect coordinate the function or dysfunction of the body. So many things we have been guessing are due to age or say “that’s natural” is really about our hormon…

Being a woman brings with it unique health goals and challenges. Add being a mom in this busy world that demands so much of us, things change even more. That is why it is so important to understand not only your unique physiology, but the feminine context. I am seeing too many young girls and women with hormonal problems and the wrong body composit…

This episode is a break in regular podcast scheduling. Recently I went onto a local South African health show on the countries biggest satellite TV network called Real Health. I was honoured and excited to be getting onto a big platform to be able to share my knowledge and experience about biohacking, functional health and behaviour change to an au…

There are few of us out there who stand their ground and speak the truth as strongly and bravely as Dr Jack Wolfson. He is now the guest I have had the most times on my show, and there is a reason. The man has an encyclopedic knowledge of cardiac health and holistic medicine, and walks the walk when it comes to his Live Well, Eat Well and Think Wel…

One in two men will get cancer. One in three women too. These statistics are as staggering and shocking as any I have ever heard. And yet everyone just continues to live their life as if those statistics don’t relate to them. I cannot understand it. That’s why I wanted a cancer expert on my show to unpack what this horrendous disease is and how we …

This one is for the sexual seekers! The ones who want their sex life to thrive, and to not only extend their lifespan or health span but their sexspan! This was a bombshell of an episode with a woman who is so full of life and zest and incredible knowledge about the thing we think most about -sex – but are not equipped and skilled enough to practic…
