The You Project

Tiff's back from India and she's as Zen as f**k. Dr. Jodi shows up with her usual calm, soothing energy and hypnotic voice. And the bogan from Latrobe Valley (me) bawls like a big baby telling a story about his sick friend. This was a f**king emotional rollercoaster.

How do you know that your thoughts, beliefs, opinions and attitudes are truly yours and not some unintended psychological consequence or byproduct of being around certain people on Planet You? Is your world view uniquely and authentically yours, or is it an unconscious byproduct of your programming? This episode is a brief foray into the world of critical thinking, self-awareness and the possibility of objectivity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I recently recorded a three-minute video chat with my friends Jan and lan over coffee, which kind-of blew up on Facebook and as a result (and after plenty of encouragement from TYP listeners), I thought we'd get the youngsters back on the show, five years after their podcast debut. At 84 and 86 years-young, my guess is that their biological ages are both somewhere in the vicinity of twenty to thirty years younger than what the calendar says. I truly love them and I expect you might too.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For a bloke who has helped thousands of people get strong over forty-plus years (OMG), I made hard work of this episode. I literally started recording five different times (this was the fifth attempt) because trying to condense a lifetime of lifting and learning, training elite athletes, teaching Exercise Science students, mentoring PT's, working with the general-public and running my own gyms for quarter of a century.. into a meaningful podcast hour (or so), for a broad cross-section of humans (my audience), was infinitely harder than I had anticipated. There is so much I could have included but I guess nobody wants a ten-hour episode. Anyway, I did my best and I’m reasonably happy with the outcome. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This somewhat verbose edition of the show has been divided in two, for your own good. I don't want you consuming to much sugar in one sitting. You're welcome. This chat really covers a lot of territory, moving from Patrick's dating life, his pasty vegan complexion and his curious habit of watching scrolling works of art on his TV, to earth-ending asteroids, losing muscle in space, stand-up desks, shitty posture, fitness app obsession and out-of-warranty fridges. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hi Team, I am tied up with PhD commitments today, so we’re revisiting my favourite episode with Dr. Marc. See you tomorrow with a new ep. *Dr. Marc Cohen prescribes cuddling, laughing, lying on the floor with your dog, yoga, dancing, barefoot walking, writing poetry, sunshine and every now and then, if there’s no other option, he prescribes a drug. Marc is a registered medical practitioner with degrees in western medicine, physiology and psychological medicine along with PhDs in Chinese medicine and biomedical engineering. He’s a doctor three times over. Literally. In 2002 he became Australia’s first Professor of Complementary Medicine and Head of the Department of Complementary Medicine at RMIT University, which was by far the largest such department in the country with around 100 staff and 1000 students. He has spent more than 30 years practicing and researching holistic health and published more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific papers and many books and technical texts on wellness and natural medicine. He is one of Australia’s pioneers of integrative and holistic medicine and has made significant impacts on education, research, clinical practice and policy.

Sometimes it’s a good idea to put our habits, behaviours, decisions, daily rituals and outcomes under the metaphoric microscope, in order to identify what’s working for us, and what’s not. This episode is a chat about that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Cam McDonald is back and this was hands-down my favourite chat with him. You know when you get in that space (flow state) where time bends (seemingly) and you look up and an hour has just evaporated in what felt like, ten minutes? Well this conversation was that, for me. *BIO: Dr Cam is a leader, educator, PhD scholar and internationally recognised speaker on personalised and precision health. As a key executive and education leader at Precision Health Alliance - his mission is to eliminate chronic disease and pain by 2050, and having 'healthy' and ‘resilient' as the norm. Dr Cam is an exercise physiologist, accredited practising dietitian, PhD Scholar, a Fellow of the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine, an experienced clinician and is an international leader in the application of personalised health, epigenetics. Other than that, he's a dud. Enjoy. shae.group/dr-cam-mcdonaldSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
