Lifestyle Natters

Longevity has become one of the biggest wellness and technology trends of our time — but what does it actually mean to those joining the movement?   In this episode, we share some key statistics and explore some of the growing trends in this space from fitness tracking to GLP-1s and bio-hacking to longevity clinics. Along the way, we ask whether longevity is truly about extending lifespan, improvi...

Recent medical guidance is reshaping how we define obesity and body health, moving beyond the traditional Body Mass Index, or BMI.  A global commission published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology now argues that BMI alone is too limited because it doesn’t account for body fat distribution, muscle mass, or overall health impact. The updated framework introduces new categories like “clinica...

In this episode Jimmy and Saundra share their thoughts and experiences on 50plus populations being described as a 'special population'. 

In this episode Saundra and Jimmy discuss their thoughts on this question and how they answer it when asked.

In this episode Jimmy shares his thoughts on supplementation.  Whether its necessary, what are the benefits or drawbacks, does he take any and what should you consider before taking some yourself.

Following a previous episode where Jimmy told Saundra all about his new eating approach and the benefits he was discovering, now it's Saundra's turn! In this episode Saundra shares some of her thoughts and challenges and somewhat inspired by Jimmy's grazing method, decides to embark on her own journey.

In this episode I tell Saundra all about my research and experimentation with NAD.  I'll share what I've learned about this increasingly popular subject and give my thoughts on supplementation.

This episode is a little different.  Today I'm sharing my approach to eating and meal prep, the reasons for this and the results I've seen.

Lifestyle Natters is back for 2025, and this time we're revisiting semaglutide weight loss medication.  In the past year the options in this space have firmly grounded themselves in the weight and health management space so we thought it was time for another discussion.

By now I hope that we've established that the Mediterranean diet has a multitude of benefits and can be considered a great way of eating.  In this episode however we'll discuss some of the potential challenges  of adopting this way of eating, and make some suggestions on working though these.

Following our last episode, where we looked at how the Mediterranean diet achieved its status as the top way to eat.  This next chapter sees us looking to the benefits.

We've already mentioned the Mediterranean diet in our previous episodes, now it's time to take a closer look.   This episode will be the first in a series, taking a deep dive into this much celebrated and studied way of eating.  We start by taking a look back at the history of the diet and how it has found its way to the forefront of 'healthy eating'.

From ancient Greek philosophers to modern day biotech companies there have always been theories on the ways we can extend our lives.  In this episode Saundra and I discuss some of these thoughts and whether these have progressed through the ages.

In this chat, Saundra and I explore what ageing really means to us.  We discuss the definitions of current global organisations, the musings of historical figures and share some more personal, individual perceptions gathered through our work.

It seems everywhere I turn lately people are talking about ageing, or rather how to combat it!   This episode signals the start of a new conversation between myself and my good friend Saundra Daniels, in which we introduce the subject of ageing - and explain why we are jumping on the bandwagon.

In a follow on from our previous episode, Saundra and I chat further about the many considerations of embarking on a dietary change.

In any year only 6-9% of people in the UK achieve their New Year's resolution and by spring over 30% have already given up.  So what can we do to give ourselves a better chance at sticking with the plan?   In this episode Saundra Daniels and myself will explore one of the most popular New Year's resolutions - changing our diets!  We'll discuss the importance of rationale when settin...

In this follow up to our first episode, I'm joined once again by my friend Saundra Daniels.  Here we discuss some of what we believe to be the key moral and ethical implications of weight loss drugs and where we think this burgeoning industry may lead.

In this episode my good friend Saundra Daniels and I discuss the recent rise in popularity of weight loss drugs.  We'll touch on the background, talk about why they're so desirable and present our thoughts on some of the potential pitfalls.
