January 08, 2019BMR 25: Defining The Human – Paul Chek pt.1
Paul Chek is always two steps ahead of the trend when it comes to the latest in the wellness world and a lot of what he was teaching 20+ years ago is now at the forefront of academic research, becoming increasingly ‘mainstream’. Paul is still two step ahead (at least!) and in this episode we really get to know Paul, what experiences have shaped and guided him and his incredible work that continually evolves. Then we move on to discuss what it is to be human – we explore how we may access different wavelengths and intelligences all the way to sphincter exercises to tap into archaic consciousness! This perfectly sets up part two in which we dive deep into ‘spiritual wellness’ and everything that surrounds this topic. Prepare to have your mind blown!
Episode breakdown:
Paul Chek’s evolution – From athlete to holistic health practitioner, inventor, artist and more.
Paul’s painful and traumatic experiences – including a household split, abuse, death in the family and several serious injuries.
How they shaped him and what he learned.
Why listening to his soul would have prevented a serious injury.
Defining the human Being.

From feeling and matter to beings beyond ourselves.

September 30, 2018 BMR 20: The Training Mismatch – With Kyle Riley
Have you ever followed and exercise regime that ‘guarantees’ fat loss and it hasn’t yielded the results indicated, either it hasn’t worked at all or you’ve even gone backward?! Leaving you feeling like a failure or looking for more extreme training regimes or lifestyle choices. Well, perhaps you have a ‘genetic mismatch’ where you are not training in line with your genes. Science shows that when you mismatch your training to your genes there is an 85% non-response rate – meaning that you get no results or even go backwards!
In this episode I talk with personalised wellness expert Kyle Riley about individualised conditioning, how you can align your training with your genetic type and also by following this process can carry over into other domains. For example how some people may drop body fat by lifting heavy weight and long slow walks versus the classic HIIT approach. Others may get the same great results by just tweaking the timing of their training. We also discuss all of the other factors outside of training that may impact on these results.

September 17, 2018BMR 19: Light – The Forgotten Wellness Factor with Dave Liow
When we think of health we think of nutrition, exercise and the mind. But we have ignored potentially the most important and influential health factor – Light. More and more research is showing that disruption to our circadian rhythms (our inbuilt clocks) is catastrophic to our health and the biggest influencer on this is light. Our physiology is ancient and we are wired to run in synchronicity with the sunrise and sunset. However life is very different today so how do we navigate this space and bridge the gap? In this episode I talk with wellness expert Dave Liow of The Kaizen Institute of Health and we talk all things light with many practical tools and tips that you can apply now. This is a must listen if you want to optimise your health and after this you may want to change your light bulbs and put on a pair of blue blocking glasses (I did)!

August 19, 2018BMR 17: The Formula For a Great Long Life – With Marcus Pearce
In this episode I talk with longevity expert Marcus Pearce about the formula to a great long life. Marcus has interviewed dozens of healthy, happy older people including many centurions and holocaust survivors to delineate what the key aspects are in living a great long life. Marcus has also spent time living in one of the ‘Blue Zones’ Ikaria (a little greek island) known as the island where people forget to die.
This is a fun and very informative chat where we talk about what Marcus learned from living amongst one of the healthiest cultures on the planet and also what surprised him! We draw on this experience and the dozens of interviews he has conducted to tease out what the 8 step formula is for a great long life – not to be mistaken for a long life (there is a difference and we talk about this too!). Learn how through life his perception of healthy has changed dramatically and why he re-wrote the script for his life.
If you want to live and great long life this is a must listen!
