The wellness internet runs on fear. Simon Hill doesn't.
Jon Bier sits down with Simon Hill — physiotherapist, nutritionist, host of The Proof podcast, and one of the most genuinely balanced voices in a space that rewards extremism — for a conversation about what the science actually says versus what gets clicks. Peptides. GLP-1s. Testosterone. Longevity. IGF-1. Seed oils. These are the topics everyone is shouting about right now, and Simon is one of the few people who will actually slow down and read the evidence before forming an opinion.
This isn't a conversation about fear. It's a conversation about clarity — and why the most dangerous thing in health right now might be the confidence with which people are saying things they don't actually know.
Jon brings the curiosity. Simon brings the receipts. The result is one of the most honest conversations about longevity, biohacking, and what it means to actually take care of yourself that you'll find anywhere.
In this episode:
• Why the peptide boom deserves more caution than the wellness world is giving it — and what the IGF-1 and cancer research actually says about forcing the system
• The CT scan technology that can now detect vulnerable plaque before a heart attack happens, and why Simon's dad's heart attack at 41 put him on this path
• What genuine longevity thinking looks like when you strip away the extremism — and why the most important health decisions often come down to individual risk tolerance, not universal rules
