The Made to Thrive Show

This episode is a break in regular podcast scheduling. Recently I went onto a local South African health show on the countries biggest satellite TV network called Real Health. I was honoured and excited to be getting onto a big platform to be able to share my knowledge and experience about biohacking, functional health and behaviour change to an audience who have never heard most of those terms be...

There are few of us out there who stand their ground and speak the truth as strongly and bravely as Dr Jack Wolfson. He is now the guest I have had the most times on my show, and there is a reason. The man has an encyclopedic knowledge of cardiac health and holistic medicine, and walks the walk when it comes to his Live Well, Eat Well and Think Well tenant.  I always love talking to him and yet ag...

One in two men will get cancer. One in three women too. These statistics are as staggering and shocking as any I have ever heard. And yet everyone just continues to live their life as if those statistics don’t relate to them. I cannot understand it. That’s why I wanted a cancer expert on my show to unpack what this horrendous disease is and how we can take proactive action to prevent it and not be...

This one is for the sexual seekers! The ones who want their sex life to thrive, and to not only extend their lifespan or health span but their sexspan! This was a bombshell of an episode with a woman who is so full of life and zest and incredible knowledge about the thing we think most about -sex – but are not equipped and skilled enough to practice it in a healthy and sustainable way. Intimacy ex...

If there’s one physician I listen and trust it’s Dr David Brownstein. I have followed his guidance and introduced protocols into my own practice like hydrogen peroxide to game-changing effect. So I wanted to talk to him again a year later and discuss where his thinking is and what novel ideas and therapies he is working with now that could again make a game-changing effect in my life and my work....

I’ve now recorded over 150 episodes of The Made To Thrive show, and still there are episodes that blow my mind and make me rethink so much of what I believed was true. This is one of those episodes! Morley Robbins explodes so many myths about minerals like copper and iron, but does so in the spirit of healing and truth telling so that we can move closer to the truth about our health and our bodies...

Dr Levy is back on the show and we are talking about everything viral, COVID, spike protein and what he is doing to treat the downstream effect of these issues. I respect Dr Levy so much, so it was a privilege to get his insight and expertise on unique protocols like methylene blue. Dr Thomas (Tom) E. Levy is a board-certified cardiologist and a bar-certified attorney. After practicing adult cardi...

The future of mental health care is here. And thank God, because the epidemic of depression, trauma and anxiety is out of control. The use of psychiatric medication like SSRIs is so pervasive people think that’s the only option, but someone like Dr Sean Thornley is proving there is an alternative with his use of ketamine infusions. A part of the psychedelic revolution, believe you me, it won’t be...

So much of our lives happen in the mind. Some neuroscientists will argue all of it is happening in the mind. But without question, so much of life is about your mindset. How we manage stress, disease, failure, challenges and hurdles, those are all about our mindset. That is why I brought on gold medalist and mindset master Laura Wilkinson , who won medals in every competition she ever qualified fo...

After doing this podcast I realised there is one huge thing people are not taking ownership of but absolutely should be – air quality. Think about it, we worry about our diet, but only eat a few times a day. We worry about exercising, but that’s maybe an hour a day. But we breathe every second of every day, and what if what we are breathing is full of aggravating and inflammatory toxins?! David Mi...

Dr. Molly makes health fun and relatable. Especially for women. I believe this episode is so important because I have never seen so many women struggling with burnout, energy levels, menstrual issues and iron deficiency.

This episode has been years in the making! I have been fascinated by nootropics for a long time, but was waiting for the right person to unpack these master mind molecules.

You always hear people say they are detoxing. But do they know what that even means? That’s why I brought Dr Jill Carnahan on the show, to unpack everything toxins and detoxing.

Why don’t people heal? That’s the question that is at the heart of Greg’s incredible work. We often focus on the physical part of health through nutrition, movement or sleep but what about our internal world? Our emotions? Our pains and trauma? This is the world I explored with Greg today and it was a beautiful conversation I am deeply grateful for. If you are feeling as inspired as I was after th...

Understanding that medicine should be about making an individual functionable in their day-to-day life, he wants to expand the myopic lens of standard medicine and encourage people to make things simpler and look for environmental changes before p...

Once in a while I meet a person and discover a biohack that makes me feel optimistic about the future thanks to the work of health-heroes like Mario Brainovic. Everyone worries about their food, but what about their water! I already take incredible care of my water system but adding the Analemma is game-changing. I also feel hopeful and optimistic of the healing Analemma is going to bring to the w...
