“What else do I not know that I don’t know”. Asking this question was the catalyst of my guest’s biohacking and health success story. It is a statement of curiosity and also accountability to find solutions, both being the heart of biohacking. Because biohacking is not about spending $2 million on unaffordable gadgets and novel treatments, and my amazing guest today Julie Gibson Clark is living proof that foundational lifestyle techniques outperform everything else. Julie Gibson Clark, a former ...

What is hidden in your chocolate, our creams, our shampoos, toothpastes and yes even our sausages! The skullduggery hidden in the products we use in our everyday lives is frightening.

Treating root causes not diseases are at the core of functional medicine, and that includes hormonal health. If someone is hormonally deficient and unbalanced, simply put they’re in trouble. It’s the reason why girls are reaching puberty 4 to 5 years earlier than generations before, and women are hitting perimenopause often a decade too early! And that reason is they are vitamin and mineral deficient, sunlight deficient, sleep deficient, stress excessive and therefore hormonally deficient. Dr Ca...

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 stopped in my tracks. We need to do something now to stop this unfolding catastrophe, and that is exactly what integrative pediatrician Dr. Joel “Gator” W...

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, and as my guest today explains in great detail, by ignoring the electrical component and the specific treatments associated with it, it is to human heal...

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 when the root cause of poor mental performance is fundamentally a lack of movement of our bodies. So this is my movement masterclass - how to move, ho...

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 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 the chains of enslavement to food addiction, disorders and abuse that is at the crux of obesity, diabetes, neurodegenerative disease and many more di...

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 disconnections from the Earth. Which is why earthing or grounding is such a fascinating health philosophy, and one I explore in this episode with a true elder o...

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 or sugar. This episode was a sobering, clear-eyed realization that even someone like myself who is aware of the addictive nature of sugar did not full...

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 most crucial to start your data centric health journey.

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, Dr Kevin Smith and his 90% success rate has something to say about that. Dr. Kevin Smith is one of the few facial plastic surgeons who is board certi...

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 food seems to be coming for all us. You need to know this, and share it with family and friends. If this episode speaks to you, join Dr Joan’s daily su...

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.

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, but there is enough signal on this issue that it merits serious scholarly investigation, which is what Marc has done with his new book, “The Needle’s S...

“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 storing all this excess, engineered and genetically modified energy is making us sick. It’s giving us cancer. But there’s good news - we have everythin...

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. That’s why when I hear Court’s stories of spontaneous recovery and single treatments resulting in total pain remission, I feel hopeful that a future exi...

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.

But feet need to be cared for and considered like everything else, and that’s why I decided to talk to foot surgeon Dr Andrew Lundquist.

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 episode is with another breathing pioneer Gio Bartolomeo and his breathwork journey. Giovanni Bartolomeo is an entrepreneur and life adventurer with a passi...

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.

More and more, we are all looking into screens for answers when the deepest, truest answers are to be found in looking into the depth of darkness.

Ironically so because the answer to those fundamentally important questions are exactly there - in the silence and in the quiet. Elaine Glass is a visionary author and highly ex...
