For this TYP instalment I sat down with Dr. Avi Charlton and talked all-things wellness, nutrition, optimal health and why she stepped away from the mainstream medical model to better treat and serve her patients. Dr. Avi is a GP, speaker, author, and thought leader in lifestyle medicine. She is the founder of Melbourne Low Carb Clinic and Breathe in Health, where she helps people reverse chronic conditions and improve wellbeing through nutrition, functional breathing, and lifestyle intervention...

This time at TYP Central, Bobby and I chat about the myriad of variables which impact the way our brain works (or doesn't work), with a specific focus on the relationship between nutrition and cognitive performance. Oh, and lots of other stuff. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So, it seems that three-hours is quite the time commitment, especially when it comes to listening to a single podcast, like episode 2,000. With that feedback ringing in my ears, today I'm sharing just the 'Melissa part' of that verbal marathon as a stand-alone episode for the many who missed out on the Queen of TYP (AKA my boss). For my newer listeners, Melissa is my Business Partner who prefers to be off-mic and behind the scenes, but just like the super shy Red Panda of the Himalayas, every no...

Sometimes it feels like we're doing life on autopilot and often, that's because we are. Same habits, patterns, choices, actions, conversations, broken promises (often to ourselves) and outcomes that didn't really 'work' the last ten thousand times. But nonetheless, we find ourselves in day ten thousand and one, like a character in a story we didn't write, unconsciously stepping back into our very own mental, emotional, social and behavioural Groundhog Day. Consciously and intentionally changing ...

This was a fascinating conversation about some medical news (controversy?) currently doing the rounds about pregnant women supplementing with folate and a potential link to gestational diabetes and (in other news...) pregnant women using paracetamol for pain management and a potential link to Autism (according a certain President). I'm sure you know what I'm talking about but before you dive in, let me remind you that two dudes (and Tiff) chatting on a podcast about this stuff on no level qualif...

Why is meaningful discussion between people with different views so rare? I think this is an important and timely question, so I decided to unpack it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the outside looking in, some people appear to be winning at life. But sometimes the curtain gets pulled back only to reveal that things aren't as they seem. At all. A picture of success externally, but chaos, mayhem and discontent internally. So, is success about what people can see, or what they can't? Or maybe it's a combination of the two? Bobby and I explore those questions and lots more. Enjoy. theselfhelpantidote.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information....

Not too long ago, biohacking was the (apparent) domain of weirdos, whack-jobs and cultural outliers. In 2025, it's moving from weird to normal and from "that's ridiculous" to "tell me how that works again." In this episode, Dr. Jeff and I explore the ever-evolving development and acceptance of biohacking - and some other related topics. **Biohacking is the practice of intentionally altering your biology to improve health, performance, and longevity. It can involve lifestyle changes (diet, exerci...

Of course I'm talking about episode duration and I guess we're about to find out if almost three hours is excessive, because that's how long it took us (Tiff, Melissa, Me) to reflect on eight years and two thousand episodes of The You Project. As objective as I can be (not very) about something I was in the middle of, I think this might be in our all-time top ten. I loved it and love all of you for supporting me, us and this for so long. Thanks. Harps. xx See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy ...

Rachel Pope is back at TYP Central exploring one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented of human experiences - grief. These are tough, but important and helpful conversations, which are - unfortunately - relevant to all of us at some stage. Rachel's book is called 'Gifts from Grief: A Journey Back Home.’ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I recently heard Tom Cruise (that great philosopher) say "I'm not afraid of being afraid." I know it's simplistic, but I love it. It really resonates with me. It's a statement, a lightbulb moment, and a piece of advice, wrapped in six words. I love the mindset that says "of course I'm scared, and that's totally fine." The idea that we can co-exist with our fear without being controlled by it. The idea that we can be both scared and courageous. The idea that fear is an unavoidable part of the hum...

The reason for the weird title will become apparent but I can tell you that it has something to do with Tourette's. Well, that cleared that up. And in other news.. Mr Tourette's (and OCD and ADHD) joined me from San Diego and not surprisingly, it was a conversational version of fifteen puppies being unleashed in a Yoga class (you've seen that video).

Our favourite Geneticist - Dr. Denise Furness - is back and this time we throw the door wide open on all-things human optimisation, with a specific focus on how we might lower our biological age and 'get younger.' We discuss the variables and factors that influence and determine whether or not we are old (or young) for our age. That is, chronology vs. biology. Enjoy.

When and what, is enough? How do you personally define "enough," and why is it such a slippery concept for most people? What psychological or evolutionary forces push humans to constantly seek "more"? How does hedonic adaptation play into our perpetual dissatisfaction with achievements or possessions? In what ways do social media and comparison culture distort our sense of sufficiency? What are the most common warning signs that someone's drive has tipped into self-sabotage or burnout? How does ...

Dr Bill Sullivan is not only a TYP regular (lucky us), but he’s also a world-class geneticist and infectious-disease researcher, from Indiana University School of Medicine. This time the Prof and I chat about new research from Harvard that could be life-changing for Alzheimer's sufferers. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Part of my life-long journey, has involved me trying to talk louder than my self-doubt and inner critic, overcoming my imposter syndrome, working through my fear, starting things even when I didn’t 'feel' ready (never ready), choosing the narrow path, reprogramming my mind, and working relentlessly to develop a level of confidence, in order to succeed. Of course, I'm well aware that l'm not the only one so for this episode, I thought I'd explore the idea of confidence. See omnystudio.com/listene...

Hi Team, I’m a bit under the weather today, but I’ll be back tomorrow with a brand new episode. In the meantime, we’re revisiting one of my all-time favourite conversations with TYP regular, Geoff Jowett. I’ve known Geoff for a long time; through his mayhem years of drugs, booze, big business, bodybuilding, TV appearances, self-destruction and instant gratification through to Geoff, the clean, sober, inspirational bloke who lives on a farm with four dogs, a family of ducks, two horses and is in ...

What or who, makes a good friend? Is it someone who says nice things behind your back? What are the attributes of healthy and unhealthy friendships? Does your friend always need to tell you what you want to hear? What if their honest feedback is something you don't want to hear? Should they hold back or speak up? And what about those 'friends' who vanish when you're no longer valuable to them? When you've reached your use-by date? And when does a relationship progress from someone 'you know' (vi...

This episode revealed to the world that Tiff has a history of dating psychopaths. Fortunately, it seems to be a phase she's now moved through but nonetheless, our resident Rain Man (Gillespo) was able to provide Tiff with some insights into (1) why she may have done that and (2) how to avoid it happening in the future. We also covered a range of weird and interesting, but unrelated topics. You know when you get a bunch of random things from the fridge, throw them all together and make a meal tha...

This was a fascinating chat about the way that two tradies (and their tribe) have used a personal tragedy (the suicide of a Mate) as the impetus to create something quite unique - a social impact workwear brand (I didn't even know they were a thing!). Over the last nine years they have helped thousand of tradies, truckies and in broad terms, blue collar workers to not only look great, but they have also created an ever-expanding team of mental health professionals to work and walk alongside peop...

Doctor Lillian Nejad pulled the ‘ol Switcheroo this time around at TYP Central. She sat herself in the host chair and fired a bevy of questions at me, in order to gain some insight into the inner workings and dark recesses of my mind. And while I'm accustomed to being interviewed, it's a different proposition when the 'interviewer' crawling down those psychological and cognitive tunnels is a Clinical Psychologist with a PhD.

Hi TYP’ers. Today we’re revisiting one of my favourite chats with Debbie Millman. She was a delight; super smart, awesome energy, engaging, creatively brilliant and despite her enormous success, totally grounded and authentic. I loved this chat. Graphic Design USA named her one of the most influential designers of our times. She is the president emeritus of AIGA, the professional association of designers in the US, and one of the five women to hold this position in the organisation’s 100-year hi...

In this episode, Tiff, Patrick and I talk about the f**kery that's afoot with the government making electric vehicles not such an attractive proposition and moving the goalposts a little. We discuss the downside and danger of social media 'vigilantes', the impending social media ban for kids under sixteen (what sh*t storm?), why you might need to cut back on sending your nudie pics, Meta scanning your personal photos, electric Porsches with fake engine sounds, why you shouldn't rush to an Al med...

Tim Jack Adams' parents couldn't settle on a first name, so they gave him three. Alright, I'll stop. Sorry Tim. And in other news... we actually had a great chat about finding our career path and purpose, exploiting our potential, why we were both sh*t employees, Tim's winding path into supporting and empowering Aussies on their wellness journey, escaping the urban jungle and healing in nature, his new book - 'Energised' - available in all good book stores and a few sh*t ones, and lots more.

This was an interesting and fun chat with Dr. Cam and Tiff, where we explored the concept of learning in safe and unsafe spaces, exercise induced orgasms (they're a thing), the risk of giving only positive feedback, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, kids giving 'feedback' to their parents (would it work?), the changing landscape and culture of education, why Dr. Cam did this interview in some dodgy dark alley, and plenty more.

When we're in the middle of stress, anxiety, pressure and all the mental and emotional mayhem that comes with it, sometimes it feels like we re going to die. But according to Dr. Rebecca Heiss, we can actually use stress and fear to improve our lives. We can build a different relationship with it and use it as a positive, a tool for change and even, as a teacher. In her new book, 'SPRINGBOARD: Transform Stress to Work For You', the self-proclaimed "PR agent for stress" challenges conventional wi...

This was perhaps the deepest I've ever gone, and the most vulnerable l've ever been in twenty-plus years of broadcasting on radio, TV and of course, podcasts. It's not a sale's pitch for God or religion - so panic not - but it is a conversation that I believe asks and explores some really big questions, ideas, and issues. I think this will be some people's favourite episode, some will find it mildly interesting, and some will turn off five minutes in. Enjoy. Or don't. See omnystudio.com/listener...

Dear Kate Weaver, hi (waving emoji), it's Harps from The You Project. So, last week I did an episode about exercise and you messaged me via our TYP Facebook page. You quite rightly pointed out that I typically aim those (training-type) episodes more towards beginners. With that in mind, you asked if I could record something for people with a few more miles on the training clock. That is, people who are more advanced. The answer is, f*ck yes and here it is. I hope you get something out of it... B...
