• 141. Max Lugavere: Seed Oils, LDL Cholesterol & Inflammation

  What if everything you thought you knew about “heart-healthy” cooking oils was based on outdated science and clever marketing? In this episode, I’ve sat down once again with Max Lugavere, and we’ve had an amazing conversation about the metabolic chaos that modern seed oils are silently creating in our bodies, and why the food industry’s favourite oils might be driving the global rise in chronic disease. We also uncovered some actionable steps that we hope to see prioritised with the new government, and especially with the Make America Healthy Again movement.

• 139. Mike Rashid: Why This Fitness Icon Trains at 5 AM & Fasts All Day To Achieve Peak Performance

  What if the most powerful optimization tool wasn’t a supplement or a workout plan, but the psychological resilience forged in life’s crucible of adversity? In this episode, I had a fascinating conversation with fitness icon and entrepreneur Mike Rashid, whose transformation from the volatile streets of Brooklyn’s cocaine-era 80s to building a wellness empire reveals profound truths about human potential and biological optimization. The science behind Mike’s transformation is impeccable - early morning training combined with intermittent fasting creates a powerful neurobiological environment that optimizes hormone profiles and enhances neuroplasticity.
