The You Project

I started my working life as a highly motivated (but minimally skilled) gym instructor in 1982. From that less-than-illustrious starting point, l've since facilitated more than seventy thousand one-on-one coaching, training and/or mentoring (etc.) sessions. This episode is an insight into some of the things l've learned along the way. I think it will be interesting for anyone (in any field, role o...

Sounds like a boring and not-relevant-for-most topic but it was a surprisingly interesting and relevant-for-many conversation. Did you know that some widely-used magnesium supplements contain up to forty times (40X) the RDI (recommended daily intake) of vitamin B6? Even more ridiculous when you consider that most people don't even know these products contain any B6 because they're actually trying...

Did you know that the people you hang out with can (and do) influence your physical, mental and emotional health? As the title suggests, this phenomenon is called Interpersonal Neurobiology and sometimes, Social Contagion. The people you spend time with can literally impact everything from your heart rate, respiration, nervous system, stress hormone production, gut biome, brain chemistry, immune s...

We're grateful to have the amazing Dr. Jeff Gross back at TYP and this time we talk about the idea of the general population (all of us) being 'required' to spend a year learning how our mind, body, brain and emotions work, in order to improve self-awareness and understanding around personal health (our health), to make more informed decisions, to create healthier habits and to be able to self-man...

James Gillespie from Cleanbill Media is the much-more charismatic, charming and handsome version of his old man; TYP regular, David. Not surprisingly, James is also on a mission of his own to make the world a better place and in this episode, we chat about the latest findings in 'The Blue Report'. James and his team are committed to increasing healthcare accessibility for all Aussies and with that...

Just two nerds just chatting about nerd stuff. Sure, we're different kinds of nerds but nonetheless, that's what this episode is. Will traditional TV's disappear? The good and potential bad of glasses with built-in video cameras. Haptic suits which allow us to give someone a virtual and physical hug from thousands of miles away. USB cables that can hide hacker hardware. Scientists growing a backbo...

TYP's resident antagonist David Gillespie is back ruffling feathers, asking the uncomfortable questions, challenging the status quo and this time, the conversation focuses on our government's amazing ability to find money to buy submarines and bail out banks but not to fund social programs.

Did you know that gym tailgating is a thing? Is the practice of non-gym members (at gyms which use swipe card access and are mostly unstaffed) following a member (with a card) into the centre, either with or without that member's knowledge or consent. While this episode was intended to be a tech chat (as it usually is), Patrick and I found ourselves meandering through very eclectic range of topics...

This chat with Gillespo was recorded on New Year's Day and not surprisingly, the conversation took a few turns with perhaps the most interesting (and relevant for many of us) topic being that of our capacity (or lack thereof) to be able to focus, control our attention and keep our mind where we need it to be for efficiency, productivity and (in broad terms) successful outcomes.

Award winning Molecular Geneticist, Exercise Physiologist, Medical Researcher, Nutritionist, International Speaker and Author, Dr. Denise Furness is back at TYP Central making us laugh, being mildly inappropriate and blowing us away with her vast knowledge, brilliant insights and giant brain. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our favourite, award-winning, best-selling Professor of Cell and Molecular Biology (Dr. Bill Sullivan) is back inspiring, informing and educating us. In this episode, we discuss the pros and cons of our ever-advancing technology, artificial intelligence becoming sentient (aware and 'thinking' for itself) human adaptability and our capacity for survival as a species, some of the ethical and moral c...

Marc Cohen, the amazing Triple-Doc (Medical Doc and 2 x PhD) is back and among other things, this time we discuss the ever-expanding number of toxins we humans need to navigate, avoid and mitigate in an attempt to create, not only a healthy body, but also a healthy lifestyle, home, workplace and day-to-day operating system. Interestingly, not all toxins are chemical; some of them are psychological...

Craig talks about understanding how and when your mind, emotions and body work optimally. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let’s be honest, some ‘friends’ are really just people we know. In fact, some of them are the opposite of kind, caring and loving towards us. So, not friends at all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
