The Dr. Greg Wells Podcast

Dr. Mitchell is trying to solve the problem that most people know what healthy behaviors are, but struggle to start and sustain them in real life. His work focuses on using behavioral science, digital health tools, and practical design strategies to help people make small, realistic changes that last and improve health at scale.

In today’s conversation Alex Hutchinson explores the mind-body relationship at the heart of endurance, effort, and human performance. He and Dr. Wells unpack how the brain interprets fatigue, why self-talk changes perceived effort, and how challenge can become a source of meaning rather than something to avoid. They also discuss adventure, curiosity, and the science of exploration, bringing the conversation back to a practical truth: consistent movement and a healthy relationship with effort are foundational for a better life.

In today’s conversation Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng explores how an ICU “aha moment” and the pandemic reshaped his mission toward prevention over prescription—keeping people healthier and out of acute care. He unpacks his PRESS Method™ (Purpose, Restoration, Eating, Strength, Social connection) and explains how to identify your personal “kryptonite” so you can plan around it instead of relying on willpower. Together, he and Dr. Greg discuss why consistency beats intensity, and why strength, protein, and community are foundational for healthspan and resilience.
This episode helps solve the challenge of feeling overwhelmed by health advice by showing you how to pick the highest-impact habits (80/20) and apply them in a way you can actually maintain—without perfection.

Jake Ernst is focused on solving a modern, high-stakes problem: technology and algorithm-driven platforms are replacing real human attachment and co-regulation, contributing to distraction, distress, and disconnection—especially for kids and teens, but increasingly for adults too.
In today’s conversation Jake Ernst explores how modern tech is reshaping our brains, relationships, and family life—and why many parents are effectively “co-parenting with the internet.” He breaks down the rising pattern of distraction, distress, and disconnection, and explains how screen-mediated communication can undermine the social and emotional signals we need to feel truly connected. Jake and Dr. Greg then pivot to solutions: digital hygiene, restoring face-to-face connection, and helping kids build the real-world skills that screens can quietly erode.

Dr. Scott Forbes is trying to cut through the hype and misinformation around creatine so listeners can understand what creatine actually is, what it truly does (and doesn’t do), and how to use it safely and effectively for performance, brain health, and healthy aging.
In today’s conversation Dr. Forbes explores why creatine has become one of the most talked-about supplements—and how to separate real science from social-media noise. He explains what creatine is (and why it’s not a steroid), how it supports short-duration high-intensity performance, and what the research says about strength, muscle, endurance “bursts,” and recovery. Scott also dives into emerging findings on brain energy demands—especially under stressors like sleep deprivation and mental fatigue—and why creatine may matter more as we age.
You will learn how creatine works in the body’s energy systems, what benefits are realistic (small but meaningful), and how those gains can compound over time. You’ll also learn practical dosing strategies (loading vs. steady daily use), why creatine monohydrate is the best-studied form, how timing fits into the routine, plus the science behind common concerns like hair loss and kidney markers.
You will discover that creatine’s biggest strength is “quiet consistency”: it can modestly expand rapid-energy capacity and help maintain performance during physical or mental stress—without needing complicated protocols.
Scott helps solve the challenge of making a confident, evidence-based decision about whether creatine belongs in your routine—without fear, myths, or marketing-driven confusion.
