Exercise and macros matte... more

Every one of us runs on a biological rhythm - a finely tuned system that controls when we feel alert, when we feel tired, and even how we process food.

But here’s the problem: modern life doesn’t always respect this rhythm. Late nights, early alarms... more

Most of us think of inflammation when an ankle swells or a cut turns red. It’s our body’s immune system, and without it, we couldn't fight infections or repair injuries.

But when it stays switched on, this chronic inflammation can drain your energy,... more

  • Professor Marion Nestle

    What a loser! Her review that the FDA job to test additives is “too hard so we shouldn’t do it” — is particularly disturbing. She hits me as definitely NOT a top scientist. Maybe get someone on board with a more balanced opinion and a lot more credentials behind their name. Someone that wants to truly make food better and safer (somebody that can’t think outside the box and it’s childish when it’s too hard and gives up —is just a bore)

  • Blind spot

    I like this podcast and have made so many lifetime changes as a result. I like that it’s so up to date, the science changes constantly and faster than your own health providers and govt advice can keep up with. Unfortunately, I think they do have a sexist blind spot when it comes to younger women. There is never any discussion about foods to eat to conceive, to eat in pregnancy, to reduce pregnancy ailments, to eat postnatal shortly after birth, to regulate periods, to reduce risk of female spec... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is your gut the secret to anti-aging? 6 science-backed ways to boost your bone strength, muscle, and balance | Prof Elaine Dennison
Q: How else are our bones contributing to overall health beyond structure?
Bone marrow within bones produces blood cells, supports immune function, and acts as a reservoir of minerals and hormones essential for bodywide homeostasis.
Is your gut the secret to anti-aging? 6 science-backed ways to boost your bone strength, muscle, and balance | Prof Elaine Dennison
Q: Elaine, is bone health only something that older women should worry about?
No. Bone health is important across genders and ages; peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood and maintaining bone health is a lifelong endeavor.
Most replayed moment: What your wearable is really telling you | Dr Malcolm Finlay
Q: Should I compare my HRV to others or focus on my own variation?
You should focus on your own numbers and trends, recognizing that everyone has a different baseline; comparing to others can be misleading and not helpful for individual health goals.
Most replayed moment: What your wearable is really telling you | Dr Malcolm Finlay
Q: How should I be thinking about HRV in daily life?
HRV serves as a useful indicator of autonomic balance and can guide training and wellness decisions when viewed in the context of personal baselines and recent life events, not as an absolute measure of health.
5 ways to control your blood sugar, reverse insulin resistance, and reduce your heart disease risk | Prof Rob Semple
Q: If I'm worried I have insulin resistance or maybe even a doctor has told me I do, can losing weight help and can it reverse it?
Weight loss is profoundly impactful because it can reduce fat tissue burden, improve fat distribution, and lower insulin resistance; however, the degree of reversal depends on individual factors, including genetics and lifestyle, but there is evidence that interventions targeting weight and activity can improve insulin sensitivity and related health risks.
