This week on the podcast Mikki catches up with Prof Grant Schofield on a wide range of topics. They explore the importance of maintaining a positive mindset during injuries and dive into broader societal issues, including community responsibility, shifting political landscapes in health and nutrition, and the role of leaders like RFK Jr. and Elon Musk in shaping policy and vision. They discuss the evolution of education systems, the potential of AI in healthcare, and the balance between human interaction and technology in solving complex health problems, all while highlighting the value of political discourse, societal progress, and health awareness.


Grant Schofield is the Professor of Public Health at Auckland University of Technology, Director of the University’s Human Potential Centre, former Chief Scientific Adviser to the Ministry of Education in New Zealand, co-author of four best-selling books and Chief Science Officer for PREKURE.

Professor Grant’s career has focused on preventing the diseases of modern times, and seeing what it takes to help people live a long, healthy and happy life.

He lives and breathes the motto “be the best you can be”, and sees this as a game-changer for the health system – capable of transforming the current health (sickness) model, to one in which we aspire to be well. He is redefining public health as the science of human potential; the study of what it takes to have a great life.

Grant is well known for thinking outside the box and challenging conventional wisdom in nutrition and weight loss, as well as physical activity and exercise.

He brings his fluency across several scientific disciplines – from human physiology, to psychology, to peak performance – to his role at PREKURE, where he delivers world class training in lifestyle medicine
