In this transformative episode of Up For A Chat, Cyndi and Kim sit down with Richard Game from Vital Origin for a thought-provoking conversation on health freedom, ancestral living, and the future of wellness. They dive deep into the pitfalls of conventional healthcare, the importance of resilience, and how environmental and lifestyle shifts can create lasting well-being.

Richard shares his personal journey—from sports and physiotherapy to precision medicine and biohacking, and how it led him to create a virtual practice focused on holistic health optimization. The trio discusses the critical role of mindset, values, and behaviour change in healing chronic conditions and optimizing performance.

They also explore collaborative opportunities, such as developing a health coaching course, sourcing regenerative ingredients, and planning transformative live events. Whether you’re a health professional or a wellness enthusiast, this episode offers inspiration and insight into reclaiming vitality through a more grounded, ancestral lens.
