220. Cortisol, Leptin, and Ghrelin: Why Your Hormones Are Sabotaging Your Health
Your body is sending you signals every moment of every day, but are you listening? In this episode, I’ll walk you through how these three hormones (cortisol, leptin, and ghrelin) dictate whether you wake up energised or exhausted, maintain focus or feel scattered, and recover quickly or stay stuck in chronic stress mode. Your hormones respond to your daily choices; make them work for you instead of against you.

219. Peter Crone: The Science of Mindset and How Your Subconscious Patterns Control Your Health & Longevity
The most toxic environment you live in isn’t your city, your home, or your workplace, but it could most certainly be in your mind. Peter Crone, “The Mind Architect,” reveals how the internal narratives formed in childhood become invisible prisons that could sabotage your health, relationships, and success decades later. In this episode, you’ll discover why “being right is the poor man’s version of self-worth,” and how your subconscious programming creates the exact outcomes you fear most.

Here’s what nobody tells you about pregnancy: you’re ignoring half the genetic equation. Dr. Labib Ghulmiyyah drops a truth bomb that should fundamentally change how we approach conception, men need pregnancy preparation as much as women, period. Your sperm isn’t just a delivery vehicle, it’s carrying epigenetic instructions that will influence your child’s chronic disease risk, neurodevelopment, and lifelong health trajectory. Time to step up, gentlemen, your biology matters more than you think.

Gary Brecka is a Human Biologist, biohacker, researcher, and an anti-aging and longevity expert. His approach to health is simple: "Aging is the aggressive pursuit of comfort."
For over 20 years, he worked in the life insurance industry predicting mortality. This meant if he got 5 years of medical records and 5 years of demographic data on you, the team that he was associated with could tell a life insurance company how long you had to live to the month. After years and years of doing this type of research and analysis, he decided he wanted to spend the balance of his lifetime helping people live happier, healthier, longer, more fulfilling lives.
With this mission in mind, he created The Ultimate Human podcast. In this weekly podcast, Gary has exciting conversations with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and scientists and is thrilled to share their transformative insights with you. What's keeping you from being an ultimate human? Tune in to find out.
