“Being a man in today’s world is tough. The pressure to perform, to provide, to get everything right. It’s overwhelming at best, and at worst keeps us from living at the fullest version of ourselves” - Evryman 

Evryman has been described by the New York times as Cross-fit for your emotions.

In this episode Andrew interviews Hong Kong Evryman Co-Founder, Mac Ling. 

Mac shares the origin story of Evryman, the challenges men face with their mental health and the erroneous ways we (men/society even!) handle mental health.

With the rise of mental health issues this is a “must listen to” episode to better understand, give a place to go, and begin to change the narrative around this topic.

Have a listen and share with your friends and family to continue and expand the work we have to do in this field of human health.

Episode 63 - Marcus Hewitson MD on Atomic Habits

In this episode Andrew interviews his long-time friend, Dr Marcus Hewitson from OSNEM located on the beautiful east coast of Australia. Back by popular demand, this is Marcus’ second appearance on the podcast. In episode 57 we discussed some of the controversies around dietary protein.

In this conversation Marcus unpacks the ground-breaking book “Atomic Habits” by James Clear. 

Tune in as we explore;

• The 3 levels of change – outcome (goal), process (habit) and identity
• The habit loop – and how to use it to help remove old habits and instil new ones
• Why identity change is critical for making new habits stick

Marcus shares with us how he utilises these concepts in his own practice and as a facilitator of lasting change.

One of my favourite people on the planet!

Ever wanted to understand the working of a Michelin star Chef, (and a French one at that)?

Ever wanted to hear the blueprint and the steps that have worked for such a chef?

If the answer is yes then this episode of our Joint Dynamics podcast is for you.

Meet the incredibly accomplished, passionate business owner and chef Olivier Elzer. 

Olivier has been mentored by the likes of Joel Robuchon, Jean-Yves Leuranguer, and once named one of the top 22 best young chef’s in France by the guide Gault Millau. 

He is the current Culinary Director of L’ENV’OL at the St Regis Hotel in Hong Kong and the Founder and creator of his restaurant Clarence here in Hong Kong

Tune in to Olivier’s thoughts, processes and his step by step recipe for success in creating and maintaining a successful, Michelin star worthy, restaurant.

Olivier breaks down the origin of Michelin Stars, simple yet complicated methods for achieving Michelin stars, the people that work for Michelin and the role and life of someone who “works” as a consumer to grade and grant Michelin Star status.

We also discuss his love of the food producers and farmers he has long term relationships with (some 25 years!) and his desire to spend more time in one of the beautiful regions of Japan, and the parallels he finds as a practicing martial artist to being a top chef.

Enjoy this journey into the psyche of creativity and an ongoing desire towards excellence

What does the future of healthcare look like? What role will AI (Artificial Intelligence) play in our day to day life to monitor and refine our wellbeing?

According to Rachel Kelly, Biotech Entrepreneur and Luke Taylor, Performance & Nutrition coach, fromTaylored technologies and founders of Project Otto - AI will enable us to build a virtual avatar of ourselves that grows in its understanding of our IRL (“in real life”) body each day as it monitors, measures and guides our behaviours. This is the AI platform they have developed that they call “Project Otto”.

The pair have been working tirelessly following their passion and skill sets to reimagine the future of health and bio augmented intelligence.

A great educational conversation that enables us to peel the curtain back and take an alluring peak at the, not too distant, health solutions for professional sporting teams, corporations and bio  hacking individuals.

In our latest Podcast, Andrew catches up with his great mate, Dr Marcus Hewitson. The pair first met whilst backpacking through South America over 20 years ago and have remained friends ever since.

Marcus runs a nutritional medicine practice on the North Coast of NSW, Australia called OSNEM (Ocean Shores Nutritional & Environmental Medicine). He also educates medical doctors globally on the application of Functional and Nutritional Medicine into their clinical practice.

In this, at times philosophical discussion, we explore the controversial macronutrient protein, and discuss -

 Why adequate protein is critical for human physiology and health

 The dietary protein guidelines – and why we should individualise dietary recommendations

 The ‘protein leverage hypothesis’ – what makes locusts become cannibals!

 The pros/cons and tradeoffs between higher and lower protein intake, with a discussion of the booming longevity industry

 Why food is more than just a source nutrition and energy

Join us for one of our most educating discussions on medicine and nutrition to date.
