When you’re listening to Michael Mosley, it doesn’t take long to understand why he’s one of the world’s most prominent doctors. He’s risen to fame as a BBC broadcaster, documentary maker and inventor of the 5:2 diet, and he has an incredible knack for communicating health research and knowledge in a simple, usable way.
This episode takes a look at some really key elements of health: breathing, sleep, diet and exercise. Michael gives his most effective breathing technique to transform your life and help with sleep, talks about the three most important types of exercise (including the one you’re probably not doing but definitely should be), and discusses what an ideal day looks like from a health perspective.
Along with tackling these big topics, Michael drops little gold nuggets along the way. Like the Japanese community that’s living longer because they essentially fasted in post-war years, how to figure out if you’re getting the sleep your body needs, and how long you should wait between waking up and your morning coffee. There’s so much in here you can use.

This episode is a bit of a beast, but it’s an absolute goldmine for anyone interested in strength training, building muscle or bodybuilding. Eric Helms is an absolute guru, as you’d expect from a bodybuilding coach, athlete, educator, author, and someone with two masters degrees and a PhD in strength and conditioning.

Dan Ebbett has come a long way since the days of wearing snowboarding goggles to the movies. As the founder of BlockBlueLight glasses, he’s a pioneer into the effects of devices, technology and light on sleep and health.
Dan developed his range of light-blocking glasses after struggling with chronic insomnia, eye strain and migraines. He changed the game by discovering the widespread impact blue light was having for people, and developing glasses that were focused on effectiveness rather than appearance.
This is one of those under-appreciated health areas that a surprisingly large number of people struggle with.
Dan and Art talk through:
Dan’s personal journey with discovering blue light glasses, and how quickly they worked for himWhat blue light is and how it affects peopleThe impact of device settings and “dark mode” - whether they actually do anythingThe physiological impacts of taking in blue light at night, and how it prevents sleep by impacting hormonesHow the sun gives off different light frequencies, and how the brain interprets them to know what time of day it isHow to wear blue light blocking glasses, and why you shouldn't wear them all the timeHow the skin has its own circadian rhythm, and what that means for controlling lights inside at nightWhy good blue blocking glasses shouldn’t have clear lensesLight control appsThe effect of windows and clouds on light absorption Take home tips for controlling the effect of light in your everyday lifeIndicators you’re struggling with the effects of blue light, including stress and anxietyRed light therapy - what it is, what the benefits are (including red light saunas)(Disclaimer about the sound - sorry about the weird background noises in this one, turns out that a leaf blower waits for no one!)

Dr. Cliff Harvey is back on the pod, this time going deep into strength training. As a weightlifting world record holder and consultant to the likes of Team New Zealand and Joseph Parker, Cliff’s one of NZ’s leading resistance training experts.
In his words, strength training has the biggest bang for buck in terms of long term health outcomes. We strip it right back to understand how it works, and address the biggest issues people have when they’re trying to get stronger.
That includes:
The most important principles in resistance training (progressive overload etc.)How to use strength training for weight loss The ideal number of sets, reps and frequency for better resultsWhy you shouldn’t lift until you can’t lift anymore, and what a better option isA 101 in hypertrophy (putting on muscle)Under-eating - how it’s a much bigger issue than people realise and how he saw its impact on people with IBSWhy the recommended daily protein intake is way less than it should beThe importance of residual movement outside the gymThe great thing about Cliff’s take on all this is he has the scientific knowledge to explain it, but it’s also understandable and usable for everyday people. He knows the studies and he’s seen the results of so many different things - now it’s accessible!

We’ve all heard the arguments against eating meat. Diana Rodgers is combating this massive issue one issue at a time - nutritionally, environmentally and ethically.
She’s spent decades in food research and nutrition, including in her book and film, Sacred Cow. Diana is adamant that eating meat is not only healthy, but it’s imperative for humans and for the environment.
This is a comprehensive deep-dive into eating meat, where Diana rebuffs some of the biggest issues people have against it.
Diana talks about:
Issues with the scienceWhere anti-meat agendas started, and why it’s problematicHow meat prevents dangerous monocultures that a lot of plant-based foods are based onCarbon sequestration from animal farming vs treesThe problem with unhealthy meat alternatives (chips, processed foods and plastic wrapping)The ugly reality of allowing animals to die naturallyIf you’ve ever thought about how much meat you eat, or if you should cut back on meat, this is a great guide to the entire issue as a whole - not just one or two aspects of it.

Calling Nathan Wallis is one of New Zealand’s most prominent experts on raising children, as well as living well as an adult. The way he helps people to do that is just so good.
There is something in this episode for everyone - from parents to children themselves, and even grandparents. Nathan has such incredible knowledge about the first three years of a baby’s life, to teenagers, to adulthood. He touches on things like how to talk to babies, how to (realistically) manage screen time - and the years when it can be worst for kids - how to encourage self worth in people of all ages, and so much more.
What he says makes total sense, it’s in plain language, and it’s all backed by research. What he has to say is actually just so important as well - this is an episode about how to get the most out of our brains and our lives. You cannot miss this one!

Dr. Ula Heywood is clinical director at Edison Clinic, using the very latest health techniques to design cutting edge personal health programs that are customised to an individual’s physical makeup, mental health and lifestyle.
A former emergency doctor with Westpac rescue helicopter, Ula is a fountain of knowledge on how to stay at your peak. One of her real areas of speciality is fasting, and she has some amazing tips on different kinds of fasting for different reasons and different people, as well as a great guide on how to ease into and out of fasts. Anyone looking to get into fasting need look no further.
Ula also mentions a bunch of further reading throughout the episode, which you can find below:
Dr Rhonda Patrick - for more information on exogenous ketones and fat burning.

You know those podcasts with nutritionists that focus on one thing, and if you’re not interested in it then it’s just boring? This is not one of those!
Dr. Cliff Harvey and Bella Marinkovich are nutritionists that focus on holistic health - and this includes so much more than you’d think. They have amazing tips on the stuff you’d expect: experimenting with different diets, fasting and supplements, but they also have some incredible knowledge on edible weeds, dealing with adrenal fatigue, the growing problem of under-eating and even the little-known benefits of microdosing hallucinogens.
Whatever your interests, there is something in this one for you. It’s a light-hearted, fun and informative deep dive that really does offer something for everyone.

He also touches on social media, screen time, Covid, human connection, and how the right approach to all these things can take a massive weight off anyone’s shoulders. This is one for the self love club!

“One piece of cake is not going to heal or harm you - it’s just cake.” This is why we love Michelle Yandle - the nutritionist who encourages people to eat what makes them feel good.
Michelle is the woman behind empowered eating, which is all about understanding what you’re eating, and eating whatever makes you feel good. The only rule is that there are no rules - listen to your body, eat what you feel like, and if it doesn’t work for you then don’t beat yourself up about it.
She talks about how polishing off a block of chocolate doesn’t make you a bad person, and how the key to balanced, healthy eating is understanding why we feel like having a binge, and treating it as a learning experience. This is a really liberating approach to nutrition that is as much about mental health as it is about physical.

Plant-based diets are on a massive rise, and Simon Hill is at the forefront of it. As the man behind the Plant Proof website, podcast and blog, Simon is dedicated to answering all the questions people have about plant-based diets.
Simon has a masters in nutrition, and uses his vast knowledge and research to back up his tips about how to make a plant-based diet work for your own individual lifestyle. He’s also amazing on the environmental effects of meat production - for example, did you know that meat provides just 18% of our daily calories, but animal agriculture uses 83% of farmland worldwide, and produces 80% of the greenhouse gas emissions from our food?
What makes Simon really unique is he has something for everyone - whether you’re completely new to plant-based eating, or fully immersed in it. He talks about how to slowly transition into eating more plant foods, and how to adjust your plant diet to work for you.
