In this short episode, Steve lays out his science-driven position on the Face Mask Mandates we are seeing across the UK, Europe and many other regions of the world.
It's time to challenge the shaming, guilting and scaremongering that comes along with the push to normalise Mask wearing in society. Enough is enough... this anti-science can no longer carry on unchecked.
In this monologue episode, Steve covers:
- Challenging the popular logic-based Social Media Face Mask memes
- Evaluating the actual current-day risk and empirical date for COVID-19 in England
- How actions must be justified by current risk - and always is (normally)
- A little microbiology on virus sizes and putting them in perspective
- Addressing the idea of shielding others from your Cough and Sneeze particles
- What does all the Mask Research say? What does the WHO say?
- Getting into the details of Cloth Masks, Surgical Masks and N95/FFP2 Respirators
- How valved N95 / FFP2 masks increase the risk to others
- Calling out the disgusting shaming tactics of the public and media
- Addressing the idea that "calm down, it's only for a couple of weeks"
- Why would the English Government mandate Masks... now?!?
- The reality of our co-habiting relationships with viruses
- What is the solution? How do I defend against COVID-19?
- How can the Government actually help the vulnerable, and the rest of us?
If you want to challenge this… please do. I’d just ask you to cite empirical data and/or robust scientific evidence that the UK risk in mid July requires such a divisive measure, and that COVID-19 infection is actively prevented through the wearing of masks.
Failing that, how about you just provide strong science that Masks are effective in preventing other respiratory diseases and infections?

Nikki Edyvane, a technical CBD specialist and qualified complimentary medical practitioner, walks us through what is a true masterclass on the newly discovered Endocannabinoid System and the positive health effects of Cannabidiol (CBD).
It turns out that we have an ancient system within our body called the Endocannabinoid System that was only discovered 29 years ago! There is a flurry of constant research to better understand the integral and critical role of this system on on all over bodily processes within humans.
However, there continues to be no interest from allopathic medicine and institutional healthcare to accelerate this research and learn more on how to modulate, optimise and prescribe for this important bodily system. Why the resistance?
Well, in today’s episode we answer this question and so much more. What motives drove cannabis to become illegal? What is the Endocannabinoid system and what does it effect? How does CBD Oil have therapeutic effects on a number of bodily conditions?
Nikki Edyvane has an advanced diploma in CBD, has conducted over 1500+ hours of research in this field, has become very familiar with the research and trials, and is an educator of CBD and ECS across the industry. He’s definitely qualified for the discussion, and is incredibly passionate.
We dig into the science behind CBD Oil, how you naturally improve your ECS system, how sleep and anxiety are improved with CBD, and whether CBD has adverse effects and additive properties. I even discuss my early experience with CBD, and so much more… check out the full show notes.
So, if you are keen to demystify the talk, science and stigma attached to CBD and Cannabis derivatives so you can assess if CBD Oil is worth exploring for your health, then this is the one-stop-shop podcast episode for you!

Molly Galbraith, the face and co-founder of Girls Gone Strong, joins us for a really honest and real-world look into the pressures and challenges women face around their appearance in todays society.

Molly is absolutely the right person for this conversation! She’s had quite the rollercoaster with her body and self-worth over the last 16 years, and has spent the last 8 years connecting, understanding and educating over 700,000 women worldwide on health and fitness through Girls Gone Strong.

Her personal battles and struggles, a career of being in the gym, being an educator, as well an ambassador for women’s wellbeing brings a level of understanding and empathy which women and men get so much out of.
This episode covers how culturally women have been conditioned to care so deeply about how their bodies look and the judgement of others. We talk about the obsession with leanness, the issues with tying your self-worth to your body, the common mismatch between goals and actions, building muscle as a women, and the aggressive language within fitness. Molly shares her story, her battle with Hashimoto’s, and how she balances out her life and wellbeing needs now. Plus lots more.
As a man, I would thoroughly encourage every guy to listen to this, and I hope for women that Molly and I carefully and accurately covered some world-truths and health and fitness issues you care about. A must-listen for everyone! I personally learnt so much...

30 year+ Cardiologist Dr. Nadir Ali provides his incredible real-world insight into Heart Disease - garnered from the 1000’s of hearts he has opened up, clients he has returned to health via diet alone, and his own personal health journey.
Dr Nadir Ali's credentials and reputation are world-renowned. He Chairs the Dept of Cardiology at Clear Lake Regional Medical Centre in California, and speaks at leading health conferences on the topic of heart health, LDL Cholesterol, Low Carb diet interventions and Intermittent Fasting.
Personally, he stumbled across the Low Carb way of eating years ago as an avid cyclist that wanted to lose excess weight and perform well. Since then, he advocates for LCHF and IF as a way to address modern diseases associated with metabolic dysfunction.
In this discussion, Nadir helps us understand the old paradigm of heart health and the incorrect demonisation of Saturated Fat and LDL Cholesterol. He educates us on the roles of LDL and Cholesterol in the body, and provides an alternative idea as to how Heart Disease manifests.
We dig into the efficacy and side effects of heart drugs such as statins, and explore the motivations at play that prevent the heart research and science from updating. We then leave you with practicals ways to assess and improve heart and overall health.
This is a must-listen - It’s time to get properly educated on how to keep your heart healthy! Share with those that need to hear this...

Professor David Nutt joins us for a remarkable deep dive into the history, health effects and our long relationship with Alcohol. This is a fascinating historical, scientific and psychological insight into Alcohol use that you simply won’t hear anywhere else.
Whether you are an occasional drinker, heavy drinker, or a non-drinker, this episode offers you the one-stop education on Alcohol that seems to have skipped us all by… and very much by design it turns out. All delivered in an easy going, compassionate and pragmatic way by Prof Nutt.
This is not a name and shame episode. This is not about vilifying and demonising alcohol use. It’s not an episode that seeks to scare you witless, or to encourage a return to prohibition. Far from it - instead this is about understanding how to get the social and emotional benefits from alcohol whilst being cognisant of the health risks.
Prof David Nutt has definitely earned his stripes to act as an authority on this subject. He’s an english neuro-psycho-pharmacologist currently at the prestigious Imperial College London - specialising in the research of drugs that affect the brain and conditions such as addiction, anxiety, and sleep. He has worked as an advisor to the Ministry of Defence, Department of Health, and the Home Office.
He has published several other marquee studies on the effects of drugs that are being closely leverage the world over, and most recently released the most comprehensive and accessible book on the reality of Alcohol Drinking on Health and Longevity called Drink?: The New Science of Alcohol & Your Health.
This is a must-listen. It’s one of those that you should share with care to your friends and family. We all need to up our understanding of Alcohol, so we can use it wisely for max benefit and managing the risks.

Through his tireless efforts online, at talks, producing movies, and leading charities, he is helping people worldwide reclaim their health through simple dietary interventions.

Diving into the data and science, he’s been on mission to counter the mainstream fear-based hysteria with the more tempered reality.
Ivor has quickly become a leading mind globally in best understanding the dynamics of this virus and its health impact across the world.

Dr. Cate Shanahan, author of Deep Nutrition, joins us today to talk about the ill effects of PUFA’s, caring for your Connective Tissue, pre and post natal nutrition, and how nutrition effects beauty.
Cate knocked me sideways with her seminal book Deep Nutrition, that introduces you to ideas in nature and human physiology that makes so much sense, but you don’t hear about.
She’s a board certified US Family physician specialising in resolving diet-driven conditions such as obesity, diabetes, chronic fatigue and autoimmune conditions. She has built nutritional programs for LA Lakers and other NBA teams across the US for optimal performance and wellness.
Dr Cate has taken on the David vs Goliath war against Polyunsaturated Fats (PUFA’s), otherwise known as Seed and Vegetable Oils, for their deleterious effects on the human body. We get into why she is so passionate about this fight.
As part of your understanding of what great nutritional health looks like, this episode with Cate is a must-listen, alongside her books listed below.

Kris Gethin - world renowned ‘Biohacker’ and former natural Pro Bodybuilder joins us for a fascinating insight into what the edge of self-optimisation and optimising wellness looks like.
Biohacking is a term that is growing in popularity, but still very much a niche idea. In health and wellness circles, it’s an expression of health optimisation with techniques, technology, supplements, nature and medical procedures.
Biohackers can often be considered obsessive, over prioritising the minutia, and over investing into quantification and tech. There is sometimes a sense of wanting to live forever by playing god with technical innovations. But, this is an unfair representation.
Kris Gethin is a shining example of someone who deeply understands wellness and longevity, and invests appropriately for his life priorities and income. Kris is a fellow podcaster, personal trainer, wellness enthusiast, author, and owner of a supplement line and gym academies.
Get an insight into how Kris’ mind works as it relates to optimising health and biohacking, his journey from bodybuilding to optimised wellness, and his fringe biohacking experiments. Most importantly, learn about his most accessible and highest priority biohacks that we should all consider.

This gets interesting! Bryn Jenkins joins us again, this time remotely, to explore and reflect on and how Fixed and Growth Mindsets manifest in the weal world, and how it’s unlikely you posses just one or the other.
Perhaps over popularised now, many people are quick to label themselves as having a growth mindset - because they are taking some risks and learning. But, are they really growth minded?
What started off as a discussion to define the two mindsets and then showcase our individual shifts from fixed to growth, became a conversation with more questions than answers. Our fixed mindset tendencies started to shine through…
This is an important conversation, with lots of definition and education, but made real by exposing the multi dimensional realities of being human. Hopefully these stories and insights resonate, and also offer some inspiration.

Bryan Gohl educates us on the whole-body benefits of Red Light Therapy - a promising and scientifically validated technology that is quickly becoming a staple within the daily regimes of wellness enthusiasts.
At its essence, Red Light Therapy looks to replicate some of the powerful human benefits of sun exposure, in a shorter more intense session that fits into our busy modern lifestyles. We are, after all, photosensitive beings that are regulated by the daily rhythm of sunlight.
We instinctively know we feel mentally and physically when it’s sunny and we’re outside. Bryan, biohacker and founder of Red Light Rising, helps us understand the biological mechanisms for why this is, and how Red light Therapy leverages these same mechanisms.
This episode explores Bryan’s personal wellness journey, including the profound impact his counter culture dietary choices have had on his health and wellness. He shares how he found Red Light Therapy, and what motivated him to start a company in this space.
From there, we get into the science and evolutionary logic behind the mechanisms and benefits of sunlight, red light and infrared. We get into the details, whilst making it very practical in terms of how to integrate Red Light Therapy into your life.
For those that want the most out of life, getting clued up on Red Light Therapy just makes sense. It’s the true expression of self-optimisation.

Gain a unique emotional and personal insight into living with a significant mental health disorder, with Psychologist, mental health advocate, and public speaker Jeremiah Osei-Tutu.
Recorded 1st April 2020 - We are within a deep and profound crisis - the Coronavirus global pandemic. Modern life has stopped, as we know it. We’re adapting to a very different way of living.
Emotions are high. It’s an incredibly testing time psychologically. We need tools, perspectives and emotional guidance on how to navigate the darkness of this crisis - to protect our mental and physical wellbeing.
For some, this time could be particularly vulnerable and scary. To help see this situation through the eyes of those with mental health disorders, Jeremiah Osei-Tutu offers his unique perspective as sufferer of Schizophrenia and a Psychologist.
This episode lets you in to the dark reality of serious mental health issues. You may relate to some degree to the emotional struggles of life. Most importantly, it exposes the powerful mechanisms to not only cope, but to also robustly thrive in spite of mental disorders.
The interview naturally takes on two halves. Firstly, Jeremiah bravely lets us into his world and shares his debilitating mental health journey. The second half switches to the COVID-19 Pandemic, covering the looming mental health issues and ways to combat those real risks.

20-year ex Vegan and acclaimed author Lierre Keith, joins us to expose the ugly truths about veganism and plant agriculture that we never hear.
Lierre breaks down the flawed and misunderstood moral, political and nutritional world views that are so popular in vegan, vegetarian and plant-based advocacy.
This is not a witch hunt. Lierre cares so deeply about causing least harm, harmonising with nature and replenishing our looted soils. She makes the claim that the most passionate about nature and sustainability, are unfortunately the most naive regarding our modern plant-heavy food supply.
This is why we did this episode. To empathetically speak to the devout Vegans, Vegetarians, and those seriously considering a plant-based diet for ethical, sustainable and nutritional reasons. There is no judgement, just adult knowledge to supplement people's passion.
Pro-Vegan messaging can strike a chord in quick soundbites. Rebutting these soundbites requires deep dialog and understanding. Lierre’s emotional and jarring book The Vegetarian Myth does exactly that from a moral, political and nutritional perspective.
We try our best to represent the key elements of her book within this unavoidably long Podcast interview. It’s worth committing the time. We all need to level set on some ugly truths if we are to find sustainable and nourishing ways to exist.

Dr Jaime Seeman, aka Doctor Fit and Fabulous, who specialises in female health, joins us today for a scientific and personal discussion on why she strongly advocates for an animal-based low carb lifestyle. It’s a fun and informative interview!
Jaime is a OBGYN from Nebraska, who has seen tremendous physical and wellness results personally over the last 3 years by embracing a ketogenic lifestyle.
In actual fact, it’s when she transitioned to a Carnivore(ish) diet the benefits in health, body composition and mental capability really took off. As well as her career online.
Jaime does a great job of representing women in the male-dominated cross section of Keto, Carnivore, Bodybuilding and Functional Practioners. She offers a compelling and exciting insight for other women to explore, and is debunking many long held nutritional beliefs.
In this episode, we get into Dr. Jaime Seeman’s personal journey, what she sees clinically, and her certainty behind advocating women to try out Low Carb, Keto and Carnivore style diets. We touch on some hot topics for many women around the globe, including pregnancy, hypothyroidism, post pregnancy, failed glucose tests, menstrual cycles cravings, concerns with plant-based and/or low fat diets, and much more.

Kelly Starrett, global mobility and movement extraordinaire, joins us for an incredibly insightful discussion on the significance of taking control of our body function, range of motion, position and recovery.
Kelly is the author of the awesome book - Becoming A Supple Leopard, the creator and star of the world-famous MobilityWOD (now called The Ready State), as well as being a regarded author of four books on mobility and biomechanics, and a physio therapist and coach to elite athletes.
Kelly started San Fran CrossFit - the 21st CrossFit opened worldwide, as well s being a high level water sports athlete in his own right. As such, has the unique exposure to training mechanics, athletes, the role of physio work, and the role that environment and lifestyle play in performance and pain.
This episode is both introspective, informative, technical AND… relatable. It’s must-listen for most people, even though at times it might get a little too geeky for some. There’s power in being your own body mechanic. It’s worth investing in this area of your life.

This episode will shock you! We have Rebekah Farmer on the show today, who is bravely sharing her lifelong struggle with her body, mind and gut rebelling against her very existence.
You name it, Rebekah has had it… it is truly unfathomable just how much biological abuse she endured over 15+ years.
Degenerative Disc, Insomnia, Depression, OCD, ADHD, Anxiety, chronic Acne, Osteopenia. Asthma, hives, IBS, IBD, Coeliac, chronic Lyme disease, Hashimotos, Colitis, Addisons, chronic C. Diff, Diverticulitis, Ulcerative Colitis, Scleroderma, Slow Transit Colon, and more! Can you even imagine?!
Rebekah has battled with a systemic emergency for almost all her own life, with crippling pain, emotional trauma, medicated up to her eyeballs, and a body seemingly giving up on her. She was incredibly uncomfortable within her own skin, could not function normally, and weighed as little as 79lbs as a fully grown woman.
Fast forward to today, and Rebekah is completely off all meds. Almost every condition and symptom has disappeared. She is happy, strong, highly functioning and thriving. How?! Keto made a huge difference to her need for medication, but it was the Carnivore Diet that has had the most profound impact in her quality of life and health.
Sounds crazy right? I know. But, it sounds the same as Mikhaila Peterson's road to recovery on an all-meat diet. As well as 1000’s and growing cases online (such as MeatRX) of miraculous recoveries from modern diseases by taking this extreme and seemingly drastic course of action.
You’ll want to hear Rebakah’s story. Painful, encouraging… and truly fascinating.

Logan Sneed went from a high school athlete to becoming grade IV terminal brain tumour cancer patient overnight. He had a Glioblastoma the size of an egg in his brain!
He was informed that survival was improbable, and at best his life would be permanently altered with his hopes and dreams ripped away from him. He would likely never be able to talk and hear again.
Luckily, Logan’s story has been remarkable, and we get to hear it today on this podcast interview. Logan demonstrates relentless drive, unshakable hope, persistent actions to get the right outcome, and a full on commitment to live his best life post surgery.
Part of Logan’s recovery story is finding the Ketogenic lifestyle four years ago, and how his vitality, cognition and capability seems to have been significantly amplified since brain surgery.
Logan is a young and already successful fitness entrepreneur, a beacon of hope and courage, and most recently an author of book that retells his story called Thank You Cancer.
