More Good Days

Alcohol is woven into South African culture. The braai, the wine farm, the post-match beer. This is the episode we did not want to do, because we are not here to ruin the fun. We are here to give you the information so you can make smarter choices and have more good days. In this episode (which we didn't want to do) Sean Lunn, Faf du Plessis and Dr Michael Mol get honest about what alcohol could a...

Perimenopause can begin years before menopause—but many women don't realize what's happening to their bodies. In this episode, specialist gynecologist Dr. Natalia Novikova breaks down the science of perimenopause, menopause, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), helping separate evidence-based medicine from decades of fear and misinformation. We explore how the 2002 Women's Health Initiative stud...

In this episode of More Good Days, the hosts break down one of the biggest questions in modern wellness: Which biohacks are actually backed by science — and which are just expensive marketing? From hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and red light therapy to PEMF mats, grounding, saunas, cold plunges, methylene blue, and the so-called “Royal Flush” stack, this conversation explores where the evidence...

Stop guessing your health. Your body is already giving you data — the question is whether you know how to read it.

We break down: * What your cells require to function optimally * Why mo...

Peptides 101: Medicine vs Experimental vs Hype Peptides are one of the most misunderstood topics in modern health. Some are life-saving medicines used every day. Some are promising but still being studied. And some are pure marketing hype moving faster than the science. In this episode, we break it down clearly and simply—so you can think like a scientist, not a salesman. What are peptides (simple...

Most people focus on the wrong health metrics. BMI, step counts, and the number on the scale dominate the conversation — but research shows that two much more powerful indicators predict how long and how well you’ll live: VO₂ max and grip strength. In this episode, we explore why these metrics matter so much and how simple daily habits can dramatically improve them. From zone 2 walking and high-in...

Sleep isn’t just rest. It’s your body’s nightly reset. During deep sleep, your brain clears toxins, your cells repair DNA, and your hormones recalibrate. But modern life — screens, caffeine, blue light, late-night work, and constant stress — has broken this rhythm. You can’t “out-hustle” bad sleep. You have to rebuild it. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: - How sleep cycles (light, deep, and REM)...

Hydration is the base of all biohacking — but most people misunderstand it. It’s not just “drinking more water.” Your body runs on mineral-supported water, because electrolytes like sodium control how cells absorb and use it. Without minerals, you stay dehydrated at a cellular level. In this episode we unpack why hydration affects mood, focus, energy, sleep, and performance, plus Sean’s simple mor...
