Berberine. Nature's Ozempic? Or just another supplement for the weary?
Berberine has been a staple in Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years—used to support gut health, fight infections, and reduce inflammation.

Today, modern research is spotlighting its potential for blood sugar control, weight management, and cardiovascular health. Is it truly nature’s version of Ozempic, or just another supplement trend? Tune in to explore the science, history, and hype behind berberine.

If this can truly help manage blood sugar control, it may well be a game changer for those who don't want the cost or who can't use Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro. You can order it online or purchase it over the counter, unlike other GLP-1 medications.

Health Gummies - Fad or not? Should you use them? Are they better or cheaper?
All the rage, or never heard of them?
Kids’ vitamin gummies have been around for decades, but now gummies are taking over the adult health market, from creatine to vitamin D and iron.

Searches for THC gummies surged 70% last year, and creatine gummies went from zero to trending in a matter of months. But are gummies actually a good delivery system, or just candy in disguise?

We break down the science, dosage concerns, sugar content, risks of mixing too many, and whether gummies are really worth it compared to pills.

Stay informed before you chew. 

The things that need to be considered:

• How much is in them, i.e., the dose?
• How much sugar or other nasties are in them? Does this vary by ingredient?
• Limit? So, if I want a bit of D, creatine, and, say, an iron gummy, would I take three gummies daily? Is there a risk of overdose?
• Are they cost-effective versus pills?

We review some of the data to keep you informed.

NMN, NR & NAD⁺: Anti-Aging Hope or Hype?

Heard of NMN, NR, or NAD⁺ supplements? They’re hyped everywhere, from backyard BBQ chats to flashy Facebook ads—as the secret to staying young.

But what does the science really say? In this episode, we unpack NMN, NR, and NAD⁺ alongside the Yamanaka factors and Sirtuin genes. Dr. Jason, a PhD researcher and long-term NMN user, shares his personal experience: how it’s affected his health, whether he truly feels younger, and why he believes healthspan, not just lifespan, is what really matters.

Tune in for a grounded take on anti-aging science, supplements, and what the future of longevity could look like.

The USA EPISODE - From one Donald to the other Donald.

We have a growing number of US listeners, for reasons unknown to us. We wanted to recognise them and celebrate this. So here is the American episode. Donny Singe (AKA Donald) didn't see this coming, talking about President Donald Trump (Donny), and how he would, and could, fix the health of all beautiful Americans if tapped on the shoulder, and would have had he been elected again. Mmmm, you can decide.

Collagen - A big business for a reason. Injury, Recovery, Skin, Ligaments, Tendons, and it naturally decreases from the late 20s. Got your attention?

This is non-negotiable. The Physio recommended it when I got injured. Have not looked back since.
Collagen makes up nearly 30% of the body’s protein, giving strength and structure to skin, muscles, bones, and connective tissue. But as we age, our natural collagen declines—and not all powders are created equal, and neither is their pricing, for a reason.

Protein. Muscle Insurance.

Mobility, capability, and quality of life all depend on one thing: muscle. As we age, preserving it becomes increasingly critical.

In this episode, we explore why protein is the ultimate “muscle insurance,” the benefits of getting it right, and how much you really need. We break down the different types of protein powders (they’re not all equal), the key role of leucine, and what science says about protein’s role in aging well.

Whether you’re choosing between whey, casein, plant-based, or blends, you’ll learn how to fuel your body for strength and longevity.

GET THE BASICS RIGHT
Walk before you run. Literally.

It’s tempting to dive headfirst into the latest health trend, fitness hack, or supplement fad. However, without a strong foundation, those efforts often fail to take hold. The truth is that long-term health and performance come from getting the training basics right first. Starting in the right place and at the right pace will set you up for longer-term success.

Start simple. Prioritise movement—such as walking, stretching, and incorporating daily activity into your routine—before transitioning into high-intensity training.

Once those fundamentals are in place, then layer on smarter supplementation, advanced training, and more structured routines. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned athlete, the basics never stop mattering. Build on them, and you build sustainability—for strength, for longevity, and for life.

Guess whose back. After 196 days, we finally got back into the studio, fresh from the brief break. Jem Bolt, Donny SInge, and the most infamous Scotsman, Alan.
The Olympics are on, a festival of sport, and a bunch of athletes with a Grit Mindset, and more. Donny has been busy writing for the Old Bull Blog and discusses how to cultivate a grit mindset.

• Grit is a combination of passion and perseverance that drives an individual to achieve long-term goals.
  

How to build a grit mindset with grit habits
Donny shares his experience, from coaching elite sportsmen to corporate coaching, and we delve into what having a grit mindset actually means, as well as the details on how you can approach this and start to develop a grit mindset of your own, whether it's related to personal goals or exercise goals.
