This one is about the kids, and it’s sad to say - the kid’s are not alright. Just 50 years ago, chronic disease in children and teens was a rarity. Now it’s the norm. I know things are bad, I talk about it and see it everyday, but when my guest today told me between 40% and 60% of American kids and teens have at least one chronic disease I was stop…

Today’s episode goes into the world of personalised and preventative care, unpacking the depth and breadth of diagnostic, treatment and lifestyle options out there to optimize your mental, physical and even sexual performance. At 19, Sam Tejada founded Rescue-101, becoming a leading provider of CPR, First Aid, and Lifeguard Training in South Florid…

We are not biological beings. This huge misconception and misunderstanding about human health could be why chronic disease continues to soar, and why despite having more doctors, even functional health doctors, hospitals and medicine than ever before, health outcomes are still deeply worrying. Because in reality, humans are bioelectrical beings, an…

This episode is a bridge between the science and gadgets of biohacking and our human ancestral and evolutionary reality. There is a host of protocols and stacks and gizmos that can improve your mental performance but as my guest Kris Gethin discusses we all risk becoming “static ornaments”, using fancy products and exotic supplements to stay sharp …

It’s been 3 years since he was last on the show, so it was time to check in with integrative medicine specialist and member of my scientific advisory board Dr Leland Stillman. This is Dr Leland’s third appearance on the show, in which we discussed and debated the experiences we are seeing in our functional medicine clientele. What’s working, what’s…

My guest today is practicing precision high performance medicine based on one simple premise - electricity + oxygen = energy = health. He is tackling cognitive decline, mental distress and a host of autoimmune disease by targeting the central nervous system as he believes the overstimulation and affront of our stimuli is the chief driver of the new…

It’s not your fault, and you don’t have to wait for hope, it’s already here. That’s a message from today’s guest Virta Health CEO Sami Inkinen, the man on a mission to reverse diabetes in 100 million people. And guess what, he’s doing it. With a 60% success rate in type II diabetes, and an average weight loss success of 14 kilograms, Virta health i…

This is my topic of 2024 - food. We need it to survive, and we need it to thrive, but food is also the most frequent and widespread choice for abuse, over use and addiction. My sense is that by better understanding and unpacking the human relationship with food in modern times, including ultra-processed food, the more people will feel able to break…

An enormous array of health and performance problems can be distilled into one word - disconnection. Mental health distress is usually a disconnection from our purposes and community. A disease like cancer has been described as a malady of separation. Diabetes is a disconnection from natural foods. And at a higher level, all of these are disconnect…

I know how many of you feel. Ashamed at constantly failing a diet, ashamed you can’t lose the weight, wondering why you don’t have the willpower, embarrassed you don’t have the means or the time to treat yourself better. Well, there is hope, and that hope starts by admitting we are addicted, meaning we are enslaved to something - sex, drugs, money …

Awareness is at the core of transformation. That’s why I believe so deeply in the data centric model, because by investing in your own data you become aware of your unique biological profile and take intentional, precise action to improve your health and life. That’s why my guest today and I go deep into the diagnostic tests out there and which are…

Migraines are crippling experiences for their sufferers. They often also come in concert with a host of other devastating symptoms that can wreak havoc in people’s lives. Yet, they have eluded medical treatment for years, with success here and there for certain types and some lucky patients, but overall, many remain quote unquote untreatable. Well,…

Are we all addicts? When it comes to processed food I am concerned. This is a sobering episode about the horror processed food is wrecking in people’s lives who are largely totally unaware of what is happening to them. With 93% of adults in the US having a metabolic diagnosis of some kind, we as a culture need to wake up quickly because processed f…

This is an episode I wish everyone would listen to. Gut health genuinely builds the foundation of our health, but it is far more nuanced and fascinating than even I realized! Gut types and probiotic types are crucial to any decision we make about what we eat and the types of gut health optimization products we buy or waste money on. This is a gut g…

It’s everywhere. Our homes, our clothes, our water, our food, our bodies, our lives - plastic! This episode is stunning, and sadly scary. At the same time, a plastic-free or at least plastic-less world is possible. Find out how you can be part of this future with this courageous plastic warrior Frede Magnussen. Frederikke (Frede) Magnussen is the c…

The state of health seems like a never ending stream of crisis - mental health, metabolic disease, obesity, neurodegeneration, fatty liver and on and on and on. But there may be one health crisis that permeates into all the others, and could be the single most powerful lifestyle change that creates positive change to every other health issue - aka …

Are we a culture of addicts living in a world of overwhelming overabundance? That is the premise of the brilliant Stanford psychiatrist Dr Anna Lembke, and her must-read book Dopamine Nation. She believes addiction will be the crux of human suffering not just for the next decade but for centuries to come, but at the same time is offering a practica…

This is a controversial podcast about what has been the most taboo topic in medicine for over half a century - vaccine-induced harm. Revolutionary ideas are often seen as heretical before time proves them otherwise. Individuals like Marc are deemed heretics by the regime until they are proven right. Will Marc be proven right? Only time will tell, b…

“A rapid advance in technology with a slower catchup in biology”. That simple but profound fact is at the crux of cancer. Week after week I walk into offices with dinosaur toys for my clients. Why? Because of exactly what Professor Thomas Seyfried will explain today - urban humans are evolutionary victims of the abundance of energy available, and s…

Liquid, solid, gas. H20. That’s water right? Not so fast. There is a fourth and fascinating phase of water called EZ or structured water. And this is not a new discovery but one that no attention is being paid to. And I cannot understand why. I structure my water, and after today’s discussion with the father of EZ water Dr Jerry Pollack, you may wa…

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…

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…

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…
