We all know sugar is bad for us (isn’t it?) but how many of us know its origin story as a jar of white stuff sitting on our table? Did you know that for most of our existence as a species, we didn’t have anything resembling today’s version of sugar? And how does sugar, which contains no fat, contribute so much to obesity? What’s the mechanism? And are all sugars equal? Lactose? Fructose? Glucose? Maltose? And what about artificial sweeteners? Do they produce a similar reaction in the body to sugar? Well, in this fascinating TYP chat, David Gillespie (the bloke who really got the sugar conversation started in a big way with his 2008 book ‘Sweat Poison’) and I unpack a few sugar myths and a few truths. Enjoy.

OMG (as the kids say), I loved this chat with Dr. Alex; maybe my favourite so far. We did a deep dive on how consciousness is ‘switched off' under general anaesthetic, how to remove a large benign brain tumour (just in case you need to), the amazing hi-tech tools surgeons get to play (work) with, creating the perfect environment for a surgeon to perform optimally (it's complicated), how our brain floats in salt water (and why), why colours aren't 'real', why laughter might actually be a stress response and lots more. Enjoy.

On this episode of TYP, Patrick shows how easily someone can 'steal our voice' and misrepresent us, using Al to 'say things' that we've never said (if you know what I mean). Unknown to me, he showed up to our chat with a bunch of pre-recorded, Al-generated statements using my voice, that he proceeded to wheel out through the course of our 'actual' conversation. Even though it was all in fun, it's also kind of terrifying to realise that with just a 30-second audio sample of my voice (or yours), people with bad intentions can potentially create havoc. Even more terrifying when you consider the fact that this technology is improving exponentially and pretty soon, it will be almost impossible to know what audio (and video) is and isn't authentic.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He is predictably unpredictable. Once again I walked through the Geoff door to a wonderland of random thoughts, seemingly unrelated concepts, high-performance coaching, a few new theories, laughter, and in general terms, Geoff-speak. I dunno what else to tell you. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1526 The Geoff Door - Geoff Jowett

As part of Dr Lucas Dixon's PhD research, he conducted three studies (collective N = 1,023), exploring the psychology of people who believe in manifestation; the ability to cosmically attract success in life through positive self-talk, visualization, and symbolic actions. I recently stumbled across one of his papers about his research exploring 'the psychology of belief in manifestation' and decided to reach out and see if he would chat with me about his work. He said yes! Enjoy.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1525 Does Manifestation Work? - Dr Lucas Dixon

According to Nikki Morrison (our resident Nurse, Death Doula and Angel), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a medical condition similar to Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) but it's a kind-of, ‘on steroids’ version. PMDD causes severe (sometimes extreme) irritability, depression, pain and/or anxiety in the week or two before a period starts. For Nikki, extreme PMDD led her to question her sanity, her future, her ability to keep working, to have relationships and even, to leave the house. For me, this was an eye-opener on a range of levels. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
