It might not sound like a fun episode, but it was. Gillespo and I explore the reason why cancer rates among young people are on the climb, the impact that high sugar and low nutrition food can have on things like cognitive function and certain neurological conditions, finding healthy sauces that don't contain seed oils (good luck), the difference in lifespan over the last two hundred years, and lots more. Oh yeah, we also test Tiff's real-time research skills and let's just say that she had a mixed bag of results (lol). Enjoy.

This could go well or not, but you don’t know if you don’t have a go, so I’ve decided to do a teaching series (of sorts) where, once a week or so, I will drop a solo ep. into the TYP mix. Not so much an inspiration or entertainment offering, as it is a sharing of science, coaching and let’s be honest, me thinking out loud about stuff that fascinates me and drives me to understand more about the human experience. Enjoy.

What is happiness anyway? Is my version of happiness the same as yours? Can we consciously create it, or is it an unintentional byproduct of doing certain things and being a certain way? Can it be a permanent state, or is it transient? Is it a single thing or is it a combination of things? Is happiness a good goal? Is it about what’s happening around me, in my external world, or is it about what’s happening within me, in my internal world? Is it about the intersection of both worlds? Will two people in the same state necessarily use the same label? I loved this conversation, it’s a topic that fascinates me, as it’s something that virtually everybody strives for. But is happiness about getting more and doing more, or is it about letting go and striving less? Or something else? Enjoy.

Dr. Sam Casey (PhD.) and I were having a fine chat on this episode about trauma informed therapy, overcoming stagnation, the challenges of parenting (for both parent and child) and then somehow, we fell into a version of a coaching session with Dr. Sam - all about how she can get more bang for her buck in the gym. Yes, two very divergent topics indeed. She stepped into the Client role and I put on my Exercise Science hat and we went on a quest to produce better results with her workouts. This was fun. Enjoy.

When people ask me what I do for a job, I often say “I help people change”, which I know is a very broad and vague answer, but it’s also pretty true. People ask me “change what?” and I say everything from choices, actions, behaviours, outcomes, career, lifestyle, mindset, health and even, identity. But how helpful am I, how effective am I as a coach, speaker and writer, and behind the razzle-dazzle of personal development and motivational hyperbole, what is our actual capacity for lasting transformation? This was a fun chat with Bobby and Tiff. Enjoy.

Gillespo is back and this time we talk about the alarming rise of violence and other crimes in a culture where people seem to have less impulse control than ever before. Enjoy.

Dr. Bill Sullivan is back at TYP and this was a fascinating conversation about brand-new research suggesting that there is another component to depression, other than just brain chemistry. Knowing that about a third of people suffering with depression don’t respond positively to SSRI’s and the like, for some people, this new scientific insight and awareness might be life changing. This is definitely an episode where I learned as much as you will. Enjoy.

The Tai Chi-loving, rural-living, tech-obsessed, fifty-year-old-man-child-geek is back, supported by the host-with-the-most (issues), and the strangely muscular, inspirational and let's be honest, periodically (often?) hangry, Tiff. I won't go into specifics but we took yet another deep dive into a broad range of fascinating topics and issues. As we do. Enjoy.

Our favourite neurological surgeon - turned regenerative (not degenerative) medicine specialist - Dr Jeff Gross - is back at TYP and we go deep on GLP-1s (specifically, Retatrutide), anti-ageing, recognising pseudo science, the hysteria and damage caused by the Covid years, the origin story of Jeff’s medical career and his subsequent shift away from traditional medicine, putting down the medical ‘Kool Aid’, the rise and evolution of anti-ageing and we talk about his personal health regime and protocol. Which by the way, is fascinating and extensive. Enjoy.

It dawned on me that three years down the track, I still didn’t really understand how David Gillespie ‘works’. I’ve known him for years but we’ve never actually met in person, and so I’ve never really chatted with him ‘about’ him - so to speak. Turns out, he’s fascinating. This was a very different conversation to our typical episodes, but it’s honestly one of my favourites. Maybe top three all time. Enjoy.
