  • Too much Dave!

    I love this series but sometimes there’s just too much talking from Dave. I get that he’s an expert in his own right, but sometimes the person who he’s interviewing, doesn’t get a word in! EG the last episode I listened to about autism with Tracy Slepcevic probably would have been better if we started with her story and her journey with her son, but it sort of got thrown in at the end. Sometimes it feels a little muddled.

    Will still keep listening and following and supporting though because thi... more

  • Let your guest speak

    I wish you let your guest talk more. You have very knowledgeable guests on but spend 75% of the episodes talking about yourself. We have heard your story over and over.

  • Good info. Hate the AI voice

    I like Dave and his information, but I find his recent switch to having an AI voice read his podcast to me annoying and unlistenable.

  • Boring

    This podcast has finally lost me when the host and guests start attacking others personally, whilst building each other up with big back pats. Not science but rather bro chat. Do better, this becomes boring to listen to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Strangest Thing I Do Every Morning for 15 Minutes | Brad Pitzele : 1458
Q: Why stack EWOT with red light therapy?
Red light therapy boosts nitric oxide signaling and increases mitochondrial oxygen uptake and energy production, so combining it with EWOT provides both fuel and signal for optimal energy production.
The Strangest Thing I Do Every Morning for 15 Minutes | Brad Pitzele : 1458
Q: What is EWOT?
EWOT is exercise with oxygen therapy; you breathe purified oxygen while exercising to flood the body with oxygen, enhancing mitochondrial function and energy production.
You've Been Getting Dumber Every Day Since You Turned 30 : 1454
Q: What are the core ways to future-proof your brain according to your framework?
Focus on building headroom by improving the brain's stimulus, supply, and support through learning, social interaction, physical activity, sleep, nutrition, stress management, and strategic rest; use stimulation technologies and supplements cautiously, with emphasis on long-term adherence and safety.
Why I'm Putting 100x Bleach on My Face : 1450
Q: Can HOCl be used with other treatments or modalities?
Yes, HOCl can be followed by or stacked with other therapies such as balms, skincare, and red/infrared light to accelerate healing, as long as the HOCl is applied first and allowed to work for about 15 seconds.
Why I'm Putting 100x Bleach on My Face : 1450
Q: Why is HOCl potentially preferable to traditional topical antibiotics like Neosporin?
HOCl provides antimicrobial action without synthetic antibiotics and their higher rate of allergic reactions, and it supports healing rather than just killing bacteria, reducing risk of resistance and preserving skin biology.
