#1469 Aging Disgracefully - Brad Cunningham
Brad Cunningham from the Fit Shop is back on deck and this time we talk about staying (or getting) functional, strong and healthy as we head into our 'mature' years. Part of my health mission is to encourage and support people in improving their strength, fitness and physical performance (capacity) at an age when some 'experts' would advise anyone over fifty to "go gently and age gracefully" (whatever TF that means). Personally, I'm more a fan of the disgraceful approach to aging.

#1468 Listener Questions - Harps
Every so often, I hand over the question-asking responsibilities to my listeners and what transpired this time was some interesting (and diverse) topics and questions. I'll let you decide whether or not it is an interesting listening experience but nonetheless, I enjoyed it. *I'll remind you (as I always do) that this episode is not individual advice, direction, or prescription but rather, me sharing my thoughts, ideas and perspectives. If you need specific health advice (mental, physical and/or medical), see a relevant professional.

#1467 Not Impressed - Harps & Tiff
Is it a good idea to try to 'impress someone’ or can it lead to the opposite of what you were trying to create; disconnection not connection, less respect not more, a negative experience, not a positive one? To what extent can we 'be ourselves' in front of people, while still finding a way to connect with different personalities, expectations, communication styles, social groups and cultures? What causes me to 'feel a certain way' (good or bad) when you say a particular thing; is it the actual words or is it my interpretation of (and response to) those words? Is the experience of 'being offended' a personal reaction (created by me, for example) or is it the unavoidable outcome of your 'offensive words'? All this and more gets explored in this TYP chin-wag. Enjoy.

#1466 Is Sunscreen A Scam? - David Gillespie
The first fifteen minutes of this chat was strangely about our collective experience (David, Tiff and I) with recreational drugs. Let's just say that, as a group, we're not exactly party animals and underwhelming' might be the appropriate adjective. Having said that, Tiff has "pulled a few cones” (whatever that means) in her younger years, so there's that (lol). The more sophisticated part of the conversation focused on how sunscreen came into existence (it's only been around for 76 years), how effective it is (or isn't) for protecting us against cancer, the astounding increase in the incidence of melanoma despite a huge increase in awareness, education and sunscreen use and lots more. *Spoiler alert.. sunscreen isn't a scam (as such) but it might not be the magic pill we thought it was.

#1465 Good Or Bad Therapy? - Daniel Ellenberg
Dr. Daniel Ellenberg is back and of all our chats over the last few years, this is my favourite. I love how he thinks and explains, what can be complicated topics, in an uncomplicated manner. This time we talk about good and bad therapy, why 'talking about it' doesn't work for everyone, the idea of a 'self-audit' (what's my life telling me?), our capacity to change the way we think, our evolutionary need to be part of a group, the 'people-pleaser' virus, our ability and willingness to 'unlearn' and lots more. Enjoy.

#1464 Is Your Thinking A Problem? - Harps
Sometimes our thoughts empower us to bigger and better; to growth, to learning, to positive action and of course, to success. And sometimes they are a psychological and emotional prison, keeping us trapped in frustration, stagnation, under-achievement, analysis paralysis and anxiety. This is a conversation about all that, with a few thoughts and ideas for you problematic thinkers. Enjoy.

ADDICTED
I am addicted to the you project after coming across this podcast about 3 nearly 4 years ago
I have had a few tough years with personal issues that shouldn’t have happened and things that did and i was in a dark place and to say this podcast hosted by Craig Harper has helped me get my life back into some sort of prospective with his caring no nonsense wisdom knowledge insight and common sense approach in the way he delivers this shows is a understatement
