Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS 

 Following my own diagnosis with Stage 4 cancer, I created an independent educational platform dedicated to improving metabolic health literacy. Through conversations with world-leading clinicians, researchers and patient advocates, 'Metabolic Wellbeing without the BS' has reached audiences in over 100 countries, helping people make informed lifestyle decisions and promoting prevention, resilience and wellbeing. Entirely self-funded, the initiative demonstrates how one person's lived experience can create lasting public benefit on a global scale while being proudly based in Glasgow 

Hosted with authenticity, curiosity, and a passion for meaningful change, each episode brings together world-leading experts, innovators, advocates, and everyday storytellers to explore why metabolic health truly matters. Blending real-life experiences with science-backed insights, the conversations challenge conventional thinking while inspiring listeners to ask better questions about health and longevity.

From insulin resistance and gut health to cancer conversations, migraines, mental clarity, sustainable weight management, and the future of preventative healthcare, Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS creates a space for learning, questioning, and evolving — together.

Ricky Du Plessis

My bio is essentially that I am a metabolic health enthusiastic (geek), who having successfully implemented nutritional lifestyle change, is on a mission to share the facts about animal based, low carb nutrition and how this works so powerfully to correct and optimize health - so much so that I am nearing the completion of my book which aims to help people understand and implement animal based, low carb nutrition by giving them a practical framework to follow 

I am also an absolute food lover and thoroughly enjoy spending time in the kitchen, so will be using my YouTube channel to provide demonstrational recipe videos aimed at helping build people's confidence in getting into the kitchen and cooking for themselves

Neill Friedman

Neill S. Friedman BSc (HONS) 1 st Class Sport and Exercise Science.
Currently in my 2 nd year for a 4 year Ph.D Project which has a working title of:
“Effects of fasting and glucose exposure on Mitochondrial programming: A
Bioenergetics Analysis with Implications for Human Immune Responses and
Healthspan”.
Co-founder and Executive Director of The BERG F:

As a result of my own experience with being obese, sedentary and prediabetic then using lifestyle changes to reverse my health and ageing prognoses, I developed a passion for making myself and others better. This journey has led me away from the corporate world and into academia where I completed my undergraduate degree with a 1st class pass and I have begun my Ph.D. (Health; Biological Sciences) journey. While my undergraduate degree is in Sport and Exercise science my primary interest is in bioenergetics and nutrition for disease prevention, with the goal being to conduct original research to better understand at a subcellular level how nutrition and lifestyle interventions can be used to treat and prevent disease and improve human healthspan.

Current life philosophy:
Do well by doing good
