  • What's Stopping You Getting a Perfect Night's Sleep with Harry Gestetner - E120

    Waking up groggy, overheating at night, or tossing and turning for hours may not be your fault - your body temperature could be sabotaging your sleep.

    Most people know sleep matters, but endless tweaks to routines or supplements rarely tackle the real reason restful nights feel so elusive. You track the data and try every gadget, but if the environment isn’t working with your body’s natural rhythms, progress stalls.

    This episode cuts through generic advice and explores how mastering temperature in your bedroom can radically improve your sleep quality, energy, and recovery. Hear firsthand how a simple shift can spark major change, all from someone who’s cracked the code through hard-won experience.

    Harry is the Founder/CEO of Orion. Orion is a longevity company whose mission is to transform longevity through sleep. Previously, Harry was Founder/CEO of Fanfix. Harry founded Fanfix at the age of 20 and the company was acquired by SuperOrdinary in just 10 months, scaling to over 15 million users and $120 million in revenue. Upon the acquisition, Harry also became the Chief Digital Officer of SuperOrdinary, scaling it to $350 million revenue and 650 employees, of which he was the youngest. Fanfix disrupted the social media landscape, allowing creators to make millions of dollars directly from their fans without having to rely on brand deals or agents. Harry now wants to bring that same disruption to the longevity industry, democratizing good sleep. Harry has been recognized in Forbes 30 under 30 and The Times’ “25 Most Inspiring People in the UK Under 30.”


    “You're functionally drunk if you're sleep deprived.” - Harry Gestetner


    In this episode you will learn:

    • Why sleep is now seen as key for health and outshines old ideas about outworking everyone.
    • How tracking body temperature can make a big difference in sleep quality and recovery.
    • The role of personalized tech in making sleep better, and how routines can adjust night to night.
    • Simple ways sleep tools help, from cooling beds to easy settings and four phase cooling.
    • Why health investments may cost less than most people think after breaking down their true value.
    • That strong health and energy can be built at any age, with stories from everyday people.

  • Seed Oils: 99% of Us Are Missing An Essential Nutrient with Udo Erasmus - E119

    Conflicting advice about fats, seed oils, and processed foods makes it tough to know what keeps us healthy and what quietly harms us.

    Even those who try to eat well often fall short, thanks to food industry shortcuts and common misconceptions.

    This episode gets clear about why omega-3 is so often lacking, how modern nutrition advice has led us astray, and what it actually takes to restore balance. Grounded insights and simple solutions come from someone who’s faced the problem, done the research, and knows what really works.

    Udo Erasmus is a legendary health educator, founder of Udo’s Choice and an internationally recognised expert on omega fatty acids, who pioneered methods for pressing oils with health - not shelf life - in mind. Author of the best-selling ‘Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill’ and upcoming ‘Your Body Needs an Oil Change’, Udo combines expertise in biochemistry, genetics, nutrition and counselling psychology with his 10-step Total Health model, which addresses diet, emotional wellbeing, purpose and inner peace. He has delivered more than 5,000 presentations and 3,000 interviews across 30+ countries, and has appeared in ‘Eating Our Way to Extinction’ alongside sharing stages with figures including Tony Robbins and Deepak Chopra.


    “Blame the frying pan, not the omega-6s, not the seed oils.” - Udo Erasmus


    In this episode you will learn:

    • Why most people lack enough omega-3 for good health, and how Udo Erasmus was driven to help fix this gap.
    • How Udo’s time as a pesticide sprayer led to his own health crisis and a new focus on healing through nutrition.
    • The basics of essential nutrients, how many there are, and why whole foods matter for long-term health.
    • Common myths about seed oils, omega-6s, and why the balance between fats is key rather than avoiding them altogether.
    • How industrial oil processing and home frying both damage oils and harm your health.
    • The ten parts of whole health, from diet and fitness to mindset, purpose, and social ties.

  • Beyond Burnout: Rebuilding a Life That Feels Fully Lived with Azul Diaz - E118

    So many people push themselves to the brink, optimizing routines, tracking every metric, and still ending up exhausted and unfulfilled.

    Burnout doesn’t just sap your health. It shrinks your sense of purpose and leaves you feeling like you’re living someone else’s life. Chasing endless productivity often means sacrificing real satisfaction and missing the deeper experiences that make each day worthwhile.

    In this episode, we unpack how to stop merely managing stress and start crafting a more vibrant, sustainable existence. We’ll look at why so many high achievers feel stuck, and share a proven approach for turning burnout into genuine fulfillment, from someone who’s guided others back to a life worth living.

    Azul Diaz is a Paris-based Life Architect and Certified Professional Coach who works with executives, founders and high-performing professionals at the intersection of performance, longevity and fulfilment. After seven years building global products and campaigns at L’Oréal Group, Azul developed a practice grounded in the Vitruvian Triad: the belief that a meaningful life, like a well-designed structure, must be purposeful, durable and beautiful. Through his Recalibration Method and 12 Life-Marker Compass, he helps clients redesign how they operate, with precision over positivity and architecture over advice. He is currently writing ‘Lovegevity’, a book exploring longevity through love, meaning and the human dimensions that data alone cannot capture.


    “We have to hit a certain amount of steps every day and do this and try the newest protocols, etc. But where is the being in that?” - Azul Diaz


    In this episode you will learn:

    • Why many people feel burned out doing more but feeling less joy and health.
    • How identity shapes habits and why linking action to identity can help lasting change.
    • The limits of optimization and habit stacking for well-being and a fuller life.
    • Why creating new identity stories is key for health, joy, and purpose.
    • How to use the Trajectory Compass tool for real data on your stress and satisfaction.
    • Simple steps for building strong routines that last, starting from small, personal actions.

  • How Soil Degradation Is Making Us Sick with Pat Miletich - E117

    Decades of soil degradation and chemical farming have quietly stripped vital nutrients from our food, leaving even the most disciplined eaters open to deficiency and chronic issues.

    Many people chase better health with supplements and superfoods, yet still feel sluggish, inflamed, or stuck with unexplained symptoms.

    This episode gets to the root of the problem, revealing how reconnecting with nutrient-rich soil and smarter detoxification can restore real vitality.

    Pat Miletich was sick throughout childhood, and when doctors couldn’t provide answers, he began researching his health himself. This work ultimately laid the foundation for a UFC championship and a coaching legacy that produced 12 MMA world champions. His firsthand experience showed him the powerful connection between what goes into the body and what comes out in performance. Today, through Soil Saviors, that same investigation extends to the land, exploring how depleted soil affects the food we grow and the bodies we live in. For gardeners and homesteaders seeking to grow real food without chemicals, Pat offers a clear, decades-tested perspective on the chain connecting soil, nutrition and human performance.


    “I got good enough and I decided I was going to turn pro in kickboxing, but I still couldn't breathe.” - Pat Miletich


    In this episode you will learn:

    • Why soil health shapes our own well-being and energy levels.
    • How Pat went from sickly child to world champion by changing his daily habits.
    • The key role of minerals and how modern farming has changed what is in our food.
    • Simple steps to reduce toxins and choose better water and food options.
    • The basics of chelation and why it matters for removing heavy metals from the body.
    • One easy daily action Pat recommends for better health right away.

  • Why I Stopped Chasing Success And Couldn't Be Happier with Matthew Vincent - E116

    Chasing success can become an addiction - one that leaves you exhausted, unsatisfied, and forever pushing for a finish line that keeps moving.

    The more you win, the more you crave, until eventually the trophies and titles lose their shine, and daily life feels empty no matter how much you achieve. The endless pursuit of status, longevity, or peak performance can leave you disconnected from joy, purpose, and who you truly are.

    This episode unpacks what happens when you stop running toward society’s version of success, and why letting go of that chase might be the best thing you could ever do for your health and happiness. Hear firsthand from someone who walked away from the grind at the top, and found something far more valuable on the other side.

    Matt Vincent is a two-time Highland Games World Champion, author of ‘Not Dead Yet: Handbook for the Living’, and the founder of Not Dead Yet Life. After losing his sport, his marriage, his job, and most of what he thought defined him, he spent a decade rebuilding from the inside out. Now he coaches high-performing men who have built the career, the income, and the respect, but quietly suspect there’s a better version of themselves still waiting. His work is about holding standards, owning your patterns, and refusing to coast for the rest of your life.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​


    “There's so many high-powered, successful, capable… men that are dying in this self-doubt because they'll never feel like enough.” - Matthew Vincent


    In this episode you will learn:

    • Why loving the process, not just the result, leads to lasting success.
    • How identity shifts after leaving sports or major career roles, and ways to rebuild self-worth.
    • The role of high performers in pushing limits without burning out, using deloads and reflection.
    • Simple daily tools for better mental health, like breathwork, journaling, and gratitude.
    • How intention makes routines, data, and wellness habits more effective and less draining.
    • Why picking your circle and showing unconditional love supports growth, risk-taking, and well-being.

  • Why The Weight Loss Industry Is Failing You with Carrie Lupoli - E115

    Most people think being “healthy” means simply eating less, skipping carbs, or pushing through another rigid diet plan.

    Yet despite decades of trying, we still battle cravings, rebound weight, and a toxic cycle of guilt, never really feeling in control of our bodies.

    The real root of these struggles isn’t just what’s on your plate, but how decades of beliefs, social cues, and unhelpful health fads have shaped your behavior and self-worth. Standard diets miss the mark, ignoring the powerful connection between your mind, habits, and true physiological health.

A former educator and spokesperson for Mattel Fisher Price, Carrie has been featured on TEDx, the TODAY Show, CBS, ABC, and more. Her debut book, From Corset to Crown, releases in 2026. She resides in Connecticut with her family.


    “The diet industry drives me crazy, because we're not actually set up for success.” - Carrie Lupoli


    In this episode you will learn:

    • Why the reasons behind your eating choices matter more than food rules or diets.
    • How belief systems, not just science, shape your relationship with food and health.
    • The power of blood sugar balance for steady energy and fewer cravings.

  • How To Lose 50 Pounds, And Keep It Off with Shenelle Green - E114

    Half of all bariatric surgery patients regain their weight, sometimes by as much as 90% by some estimates.

    Temporary fixes and knowledge alone don’t cut it. Old habits, social pressures, and hidden addiction patterns lurk behind every nutrition plan. Even drastic interventions can fail if the root causes are left untouched, leaving people frustrated and searching for hope.

    This episode exposes the real obstacles to lasting weight loss, revealing how true change requires more than just willpower or another new diet. You'll learn what it takes to rewrite your relationship with food, rebuild your environment, and break free from self-sabotage.

    Shenelle Green is the founder of Bariatric Rewrite, a coaching platform supporting women navigating bariatric surgery, GLP-1s, and food addiction. She’s known for telling the truth most people avoid: weight regain after surgery is common, and it isn’t a moral failure. Shenelle works with women worldwide, who feel ashamed, confused, and stuck after doing what they were told and still not getting lasting results.

    “If I regain my weight, am I going to come back to my surgeon's office? Probably not.” - Shenelle Green


    In this episode you will learn:

    • What bariatric surgery is, how it works, and the changes it makes in the body.
    • Why mindset and coaching before and after surgery matter more than knowledge alone.
    • How common it is to regain weight after bariatric surgery, and the limits of current tracking.
    • Steps used to help people rebuild their eating habits and home routines for lasting change.
    • How food choices and common diet foods can backfire after surgery due to digestion and hunger signals.
    • Why support from those with shared experience is key and why the system lacks long-term solutions.

  • Longevity And Optimization: Are We Doing It Wrong? with Ramona Roemer and Andreas Heigl - E113

    No matter how many supplements you add or protocols you try, chasing longevity can leave you burnt out, fragmented, and no healthier than when you started.

    The pressure to optimize every aspect of your life often leads to exhaustion and confusion, with more effort delivering fewer results, and sometimes moving you further from true health. In a world always pushing the next must-do habit, it’s hard to know what actually matters.

    This episode simplifies things. Instead of piling on more, you’ll learn what it takes to streamline your approach, focus on the essentials, and build a sustainable routine that works for you, not just the average person.

    Ramona Roemer and Andreas Heigl are co-founders of VIMED CELL, a private longevity clinic in Switzerland and Germany. They work with high-performing individuals, combining advanced diagnostics and cell-based therapies with cognitive, emotional and purpose-driven approaches.

    Their book, ‘Unlongevity’, challenges conventional longevity culture and advocates for a more integrated approach focused on discernment, timing and alignment, rather than simply adding more health protocols.


    “Too many inputs and too many protocols, too many people treating their health in isolated pieces instead of looking at the whole picture.” - Ramona Roemer


    In this episode you will learn:

    • Why more health routines and supplements don't always mean better health, and can even lead to overload and burnout.
    • The value of looking at the whole picture, not just lab numbers, when seeking lasting health.
    • Why personalized plans, based on your needs and current state, are more effective than following trends or the latest protocols.
    • How listening to your body and taking breaks can be just as important as tracking data or trying new hacks.
    • Why movement, nutrition, sleep, stress, and social ties all play key roles in real health.
    • The dangers of fear of missing out in health, and why sometimes less is more.

  • Easily Unlock Peak Performance By Doing These 4 Things with Dr. Tracy Gapin - E111

    Free testosterone levels are now up to 45% lower than they were twenty years ago, making peak performance harder to achieve than ever.

    Many people feel constantly tired, unfocused or like they're simply getting by, despite doing everything they think they should. The problem isn't always a lack of motivation. It could be hidden imbalances in hormones, poor sleep, chronic stress or an overwhelmed microbiome. Yet most healthcare only steps in once something is wrong, leaving many people accepting "normal" health without ever realising how much better they could feel.

    In this episode, we explore the simple but powerful foundations of optimal health, and explain why personalised testing, rather than guesswork, is the key to unlocking your full potential at work, at home and in life.

    Tracy Gapin, MD is the founder of Peak Launch, the operating system for Precision Performance Medicine. After 25 years in traditional medicine, he built a modern health platform designed to help high-performing leaders feel better, live better, and lead better. Tracy is a TEDx speaker and bestselling author of Male 2.0, with an upcoming book expected in late 2026 or 2027.


    “We compensate, we adapt, and we lower the bar without even realising it.” - Tracy Gapin


    In this episode you will learn:

    • Why average free testosterone has dropped up to 45% in the past 20 years and what that means for your health.
    • The difference between lifespan, healthspan, and peakspan, and why aiming for a "peak life" matters.
    • How early testing can reveal hidden issues and why most people don't notice slow declines in energy and health.
    • Simple ways to get big results by first focusing on hormones, sleep, stress, and gut health.
    • The key role of tracking, not just testing, and how wearables can reveal if you are truly recovering.
    • Real-world steps to define your own peak life and build a plan that fits your goals and energy.
