With potato shortages hitting shelves across Australia, maybe it’s a good time to rethink how we enjoy them.

🥔 Because according to a major BMJ study tracking over 200,000 people for 20+ years, the risk isn’t from potatoes themselves - it’s from how you cook them.

In this episode, cardiologist Dr Kiat explains how frying turns potatoes into “AGE factories” that accelerate diabetes, heart disease, wrinkles, and even dementia - and how small swaps can lower your diabetes risk by up to 20% without giving up potatoes.

Anti-aging pills are promoted as if they were the fountain of youth in a capsule. But when we look beyond the marketing, the scientific evidence tells a more cautious story.

In this episode, Dr. Kiat examines three of the most hyped anti-aging supplements - NMN, Resveratrol, and Spermidine. While early laboratory studies may sound promising, long-term human data is lacking.

We also explore why most anti-aging supplements fail to live up to expectations, and the key principles that should guide how we evaluate any supplement - from evidence quality and purity to clinical safety.

Healthy aging is not about chasing miracle pills. It is about building a foundation on proven strategies. Supplements may play a supporting role, but they should never replace the fundamentals.

In this video you will learn:

00:00 - Anti-Aging Pills, Hype vs Truth

00:35 - NMN 02:58 - Resveratrol

04:23 - Spermidine

05:24 - Why Most Anti-Aging Pills Fail
