Can Women Follow Bryan Johnson’s $2M Anti-Aging Blueprint? Kate Tolo, Co-Founder of Blueprint, Shares Her Experience
5 maart 2025 · 1 uur 21 min
What if the key to revolutionary health changes wasn't a one-size-fits-all solution but deeply personalized care, especially for women? This question propels us into a world where health protocols are no longer generic but finely tuned to meet the unique needs of each individual. Lees meer
In this Live Well, Be Well episode, I sit down with Kate Tolo, the Chief Marketing Officer at Blueprint and a pioneer in the anti-aging field. Kate's remarkable career transition from the fashion industry in New York to health technology highlights her unique perspective on personal growth and the challenges of modern life. She has been instrumental in crafting Blueprint, a public science experiment that pushes the boundaries of what we understand about aging and human health optimization.
In our conversation, Kate shares her transformative journey from relying on fast food to becoming a health care innovator. She talks about the challenges of adapting health protocols initially designed for men to better suit women, and how personal health data can significantly impact preventive care and overall wellness. Her story is a testament to the potential of customized health solutions.
Kate Tolo's work involves not only advanced health practices but also a philosophical exploration of life's complexities. This episode has profoundly impacted my perspective on health and personalized care, particularly for women. It underscores the potential for each of us to take control of our health in a way that respects our unique needs and circumstances. I hope it inspires you as much as it did me. If you found this conversation enlightening, please share it with others. And, as always, I look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences.

The MOST Surprising Food That Fights Disease & Helps With Losing Weight | Doug Evans
26 februari 2025 · 1 uur 13 min
For years, we've been sold the idea that eating healthy is complicated, expensive, or out of reach. But what if I told you the most powerful superfood on the planet is something you can grow in your kitchen without soil, sunlight, or even much effort? Lees meer
This week on Live Well, Be Well, I sit down with Doug Evans, the ultimate advocate for sprouting, to uncover how these tiny plants can revolutionise our health, longevity, and even the global food system. Doug isn’t just a passionate Sprout evangelist—his journey from a fast-food diet to becoming the Sprout Guy is nothing short of transformational. He shares the science behind why sprouts are nutritional powerhouses, packed with protein, antioxidants, and micronutrients that can help combat chronic disease, enhance gut health, and support sustainable eating.
We also dive into his personal story—from overcoming a tough upbringing to discovering the raw, plant-based lifestyle that changed everything. And yes, we tackle the myths: Are sprouts safe? Do they contain enough protein? Can you really thrive eating just sprouts? Doug has the answers, and they might just challenge everything you thought you knew about nutrition.
In This Episode, We Explore:
✔️ Why sprouts might be the most nutrient-dense food on the planet
✔️ The simple, affordable way to grow your own food at home
✔️ How sprouting can increase protein, vitamins, and antioxidants by over 300%
✔️ The science behind sulforaphane and its powerful benefits for brain and metabolic health
✔️ Doug’s personal transformation and how he became the face of the sprouting revolution
✔️ The truth about food justice, sustainability, and why sprouting could change the way we eat
This episode is packed with game-changing insights, practical takeaways, and a new way to look at food. Whether you're a hardcore health enthusiast or just curious about levelling up your nutrition, this conversation will leave you inspired to rethink what’s possible in your kitchen.

How to Prevent Alzheimer’s and Boost Your Brain Health with these PROVEN Foods | The Brain Docs
19 februari 2025 · 1 uur 24 min
I’ve always been fascinated by brain health—how we think, feel, and function is deeply tied to how we live our lives. And yet, for so long, cognitive decline has been framed as an inevitable part of ageing. But what if that’s not the full story? Lees meer
In this Live Well, Be Well episode, I sit down with two of the world’s leading neurologists, Drs. Dean and Ayesha Sherzai to explore the cutting-edge science of brain health, neuroplasticity, and longevity. Their work is revolutionising our understanding of how we can actively shape our cognitive future—and the truth is, we have far more control than we think.
We get into:
✔️ The myth of brain ageing—why decline isn’t inevitable and how we can strengthen our cognition at any age.
✔️ The power of neuroplasticity—how small daily habits can rewire the brain for better focus, memory, and resilience.
✔️The sleep-brain connection. Why deep sleep is the ultimate detox and the number one factor for long-term cognitive health.
✔️Food as medicine for the brain—how the MIND Diet has been shown to reduce Alzheimer’s risk by over 50%.
✔️The real impact of stress on cognition—and how we can train our brains to handle pressure more effectively.
✔️The attention crisis—how social media and technology are rewiring our minds and what we can do to regain control.
Drs. Dean and Ayesha Sherzai are co-directors of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Program at Loma Linda University and the authors of The Alzheimer’s Solution. Their research proves that up to 80% of dementia cases could be prevented—and in this episode, they share the simple but powerful changes we can all make today to build a healthier, sharper brain for life.
This conversation really shifted the way I think about my brain health, and I hope it does the same for you. If you found this episode valuable, please share it—and as always, let me know your thoughts.

3 NEW Science-Backed Blue Zone Strategies Increase Your Lifespan & Happiness: Dan Buettner
12 februari 2025 · 1 uur 14 min
What if the secret to living a longer, healthier life wasn’t in a pill, supplement, or biohacking trend—but in your environment, relationships, and daily habits? Lees meer
In this episode, I sit down with Dan Buettner, National Geographic explorer, bestselling author, and longevity researcher, to break down the science of the Blue Zones—regions of the world where people live the longest and thrive well into their 90s and 100s.
We dive deep into the data-driven habits that contribute to longevity, why your social circle can determine your health, and the biggest myths about aging and diet. Dan also shares his response to recent criticisms about the Blue Zones and reveals new emerging longevity hotspots based on his latest research.
In this episode, we cover:
✔️ The 5 regions in the world where people consistently live the longest
✔️ Why community and social connection are more powerful than willpower
✔️ The ideal longevity diet based on decades of research
✔️ How your environment is the #1 factor in shaping health outcomes
✔️ The biggest longevity myths - and what actually works
✔️ How modern society is eroding these Blue Zone principles - and what we can do about it
Who is Dan Buettner?
Dan Buettner is a National Geographic fellow, New York Times bestselling author, and founder of Blue Zones, a research initiative dedicated to understanding and applying the world’s best practices for longevity. His work has led to policy changes in over 70 cities to improve public health, and his Netflix documentary, Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones, explores these regions in depth.

Paul Gilbert: Why You Don’t Control Your Own Thoughts! | Be Well Moments
3 februari 2025 · 7 min
Be Well Moments brings you my favorite bite-sized highlights from the season. Enjoy quick insights from our longer conversations in a digestible format. If you'd like to listen or watch the full episode, click the link below. Lees meer
I sat down with Paul Gilbert for one of the most eye-opening conversations about the mind. What if I told you that you didn’t actually choose your emotions? That your brain was wired long before you had any say in the matter?
We got into the shadow self, why we resist certain emotions, and how evolution basically tricked us into feeling things like shame, guilt, and fear. Paul explains why we react the way we do, why some emotions feel impossible to control, and—most importantly—how we can work with them instead of against them.
If you’ve ever felt like your mind has a mind of its own, this one’s for you.

Effective Solutions for Hay Fever, Asthma, and Eczema | The Science Behind Allergy Treatments | Professor Gideon Lack
27 november 2024 · 1 uur
In this fascinating episode of Live Well, Be Well, I sit down with Professor Gideon Lack, one of the world’s foremost experts on allergies. We dive deep into the rising prevalence of allergies, exploring the two significant waves of the allergy epidemic—respiratory and food-related—and what they mean for us today. Lees meer
Professor Lack sheds light on the hygiene hypothesis, explaining how modern cleanliness impacts our immune systems and the skin barrier, potentially leading to allergies. We also discuss his pioneering LEAP study, which found that introducing peanuts early in life dramatically reduces the risk of peanut allergies—a revelation that’s reshaped allergy prevention guidelines.
We cover why some people develop allergies later in life, practical tips for managing both respiratory and food allergies, and the role pets and a less sanitised environment might play in reducing allergic conditions. Whether you’re curious about allergy prevention for infants or navigating allergies on a plant-based diet, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you live well.

Dr. Stacy Sims: EXPOSES the Myths Hurting Women's Health | Fasting, Protein & Exercise
20 november 2024 · 1 uur 12 min
In this episode of Live Well, Be Well, I sit down with Dr. Stacy Sims, who joins us all the way from New Zealand, to debunk the biggest myths surrounding women’s health. This conversation is all about understanding why “women are not small men” and why so much generic health advice—fasting, calorie counting, and trendy fitness routines—can actually do more harm than good for women. Lees meer
We discuss everything from the role of protein in a woman’s diet to the truth about Zone 2 training and the risks of Ozempic. Dr. Sims highlights why women need to stop trying to fit into the male-centric fitness and health narrative and instead focus on what truly works for our unique physiology.
This is an episode every woman needs to hear—and one to share with the women you care about.
What You’ll Learn:
Why women need health advice tailored to their physiology, not based on men’s studies.
Why fasting may be detrimental to active women.
The crucial role of protein in supporting women’s hormones, metabolism, and lean muscle.
How Zone 2 training fits into a woman’s workout routine—and why it’s not the “golden child” for women’s health.
How oral contraceptives can affect your mood, health, and performance.
The truth about Ozempic and why quick fixes for weight loss are risky.

In this clip, my guest is Dr. Kanchan Koya, Ph.D., a molecular biologist and health coach who specializes in the health benefits of spices.

We also explore recent human studies demonstrating how small additions of spice blends can significantly reduce markers of inflammation, even when added to a standard Western diet. Lees meer

#1 Self-Compassion Expert: How to Regulate Your Nervous System for Better Health | Dr. Kirstin Neff
2 oktober 2024 · 1 uur 14 min
Many of us think self-compassion is just about being kind to ourselves, or even perhaps that it implies a sense of laziness or self-indulgence. But Dr. Kristin Neff completely challenges these ideas. She reveals how self-compassion is actually a powerful tool for motivation and resilience, and explains why our culture, and even our evolutionary instincts, can work against it. Lees meer
Dr. Kristin Neff PhD, is a professor in educational psychology, and the world's expert on self-compassion having established it as a field of study.
In this conversation, we talk about the science of self-compassion and how it's linked to burnout and emotional eating. Dr. Neff's insights on gender differences in self-compassion and the famous "donut study" make us rethink our whole approach to wellbeing.
This conversation hit close to home, being someone who has experienced burnout. Dr. Neff breaks down complex concepts like the three elements of self-compassion in a way that's easy to understand and apply to daily life.
Remember, being kind to yourself isn't a luxury - it's essential for wellbeing. And the best part? It's free and available to everyone, anytime. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this episode. Has it changed how you think about self-compassion?

This Is Your Brain’s Biggest Mistake - And It’s Causing Your Anxiety | Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett”
25 september 2024 · 1 uur 23 min
What if everything you’ve been told about stress… is wrong? Lees meer
Cortisol is often called the “stress hormone.” But according to world-leading neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, that’s not actually true. In this conversation, she shares a radically different way of understanding stress, emotion, and the brain’s hidden role in shaping our reality.
Dr. Feldman Barrett explains how the brain is constantly predicting, budgeting, and constructing the world we experience — and why this “body budgeting” system may be at the root of anxiety, depression, and burnout. She also offers a powerful reframe of what’s really happening during “fight or flight,” and why our current view of stress may be doing more harm than good.
She doesn’t stop there. We explore:
Why cortisol isn’t really a “stress hormone”
How body budgeting affects mental health
The surprising connection between anxiety and prediction
