Being Human

In this episode of the Being Human podcast I sat down with Zaid K. Dahhaj. Zaid is a circadian biology educator. He educates and coaches people on the effect that light - most pertinently sunlight - has on humans and our health.

In this conversation Zaid shared:

- The different wavelengths of light prevalent in the Sun, and the effects they have on our biology.

- Whether you should wear sunscreen / suncream or not.

- Whether you should use sun beds / tanning beds or not.

- Whether the Sun actually causes skin cancer.

- Light practices and protocols you can use to become your healthiest and most vital self.

And a whole lot more.

This was a technical conversation, delving into the science pioneered by Dr Jack Kruse. Zaid does a brilliant job of distilling down the key points to bring you practical, actionable protocols to benefit you and your health.

I hope you enjoy and find value in the conversation.

In this episode of the Being Human podcast, I sat down with Tom Dickinson.

Tom Dickinson is the founder of Tom’s Talks, which is all about motivation, mindset and mental health.

Early in adulthood, Tom lost his brother Liam to suicide. Tom has also had to overcome his own challenges with mental health since then, and these experiences have been the catalyst for everything he does now.

Tom delivers motivational talks, hosts his own podcast and carries out 1-to-1 mindset coaching, to help people better themselves and their mental health.

Tom shared a great amount of guidance and insight on the aforementioned, including:

- How to build and maintain quality relationships in your life.

- The power of the ‘perfect average day’.

- How a lack of resilience is an easy problem to solve.

- How to focus your energy to be the best version of yourself that you can be.

And a whole lot more.

Tom’s story is a powerful one. I hope you gain as much value from this conversation as I did.

In this episode of the Being Human podcast I sat down with metabolic health coach, Jake Miner.

Jake coaches people using the principles of metabolic eating and the thermogenic diet - pioneered by Dr. Ray Peat - to help them minimise stress and maximise energy in their body. This is done by placing great focus on optimising the function of the thyroid and maximising testosterone, amongst other hormones.

In this conversation we went into a whole host of metabolic eating principles.

Jake shared:

- Why aspirin can be such a powerful supplement for people to improve their vitality.

- The least toxic and easiest sources of protein for the body to break down and utilise.

- Why ‘sparkling’ mineral water in particular can be beneficial for your metabolic health.

- Why cigars are actually manly.

- Misconceptions about cholesterol.

And a whole lot more.

I always say, no diet is for everyone - and this includes the thermogenic diet/metabolic eating. However, I have incorporated many of the principles and protocols discussed in this episode over the past few years, and I have found them to be of great benefit to my health and vitality. So if you are in a place where your body feels stressed or you do not feel as though you have the energy you need, then I would indeed recommend looking into the principles of metabolic eating and the thermogenic diet.

I hope you find value and enjoy the conversation.

In this episode of the Being Human podcast I sat down with ‘The Goose’, Thomas Owen.

I am proud to call Tom a close friend of mine. We have trained together for a number of years now. I have had the honour of watching some of his best performances in the cage live and in the flesh.

In the past couple of years Tom has turned his focus away from fighting and MMA, to music. During this conversation however, Tom shared the story of his childhood that led to his journey as a fighter in early adulthood.

Tom’s childhood can only be described as tough, gritty and challenging - to say the least.

I shall let him tell the story. I hope you enjoy and find as much value and inspiration in listening to it as I did.

In this episode of the Being Human podcast, I sat down with ‘Judo’ Jimmy Wallhead, Joe Taylor and Jake Wills.

We recapped Jake Wills’ winning performance on BMF (Bad Mofo Fight Promotions UK) 10, last weekend.

Jake fought Elijah Butler: a high-level, experienced kickboxer fighting out of ATV. Jake showcased his wrestling, grappling and BJJ prowess to win the fight, as well as providing a great account of his own kickboxing on the feet too.

A fantastic performance by all definitions from the 17 year old HW1 talent.

We discussed:

- The fight itself.

- Jake’s trajectory in the sport of MMA and the commitment he has to his craft.

- The changes to the HW1 fight team that have been implemented by Jimmy and Joe, and how this can impact the future success of the team in both mixed martial arts and BJJ.

Get Jake’s fight on and watch along.

I hope you enjoy the conversation.

In this episode of the Being Human podcast I sat down with Brady Holmer. Brady is an endurance athlete with an MSc in Human Performance. Brady is also a science writer, who researches and writes about the latest developments in the world of physiology, nutrition and other areas pertaining to human and athletic performance.

I have been reading Brady’s Substack ‘Physiologically Speaking’ for the past two years almost, from which I have picked up countless gems to aid me in improving my endurance and overall athletic performance.

In this conversation we focused greatly on how to improve your endurance.

Brady shared:

- How to improve your VO2 max, aerobic capacity, anaerobic capacity and lactate threshold.

- Whether you need to eat protein directly after training or not.

- Whether not eating carbs post-training can harm your recovery.

- Whether going low-carb or keto is optimal for endurance athletes or not.

- Tips to improve your running economy.

- The best way to add volume to your running program.

And a whole lot more.

As aforementioned, I have gained so much value from reading Brady’s work - it was a pleasure to sit down and have this conversation with him.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
