    Ian Marber: The nutritionist and author on what everyone gets wrong about food and supplements

    Ian Marber: The nutritionist and author on what everyone gets wrong about food and supplements

    It’s said that the fastest way to start an argument online is to post about politics. But talking about nutrition can’t be too far behind in what’s most likely to annoy, rankle and infuriate anyone who comes into contact with your comment, however innocent or innocuous you think it is.
    Much like politics, and many other matters in the modern world, nutrition and, by extension supplementation, have become tribal topics, with specific approaches to eating now subject to a fierce and impassioned championing or evisceration by highly vocal minorities, who believe one dietary approach as not only nutritionally, but also morally, superior to all others.
    One man who has seen countless nutritional trends, fads and crazes come and go over the years - remember raspberry ketones, anyone? - is Ian Marber, one of the most respected and established voices of cool, calm and collected insight into all aspects of food, eating and nutrition.
    In an entertaining and common sense-resetting conversation with Unfiltered editor-in-chief Joe Warner, Ian details his rigorously analytical approach to dietary advice, acquired through decades of experience with thousands of clients, that cuts through the prevalent myths and misconceptions that often muddy the water of the surprisingly straight-forward nutritional sciences.
    And in an important reminder of the many nuanced roles eating plays in our life aside from providing energy and nutrition, specifically in providing the social glue that strengthens and deepens our most important connections, Ian explains how you can forge a healthier and happier relationship with food.
    Whether want to improve your diet, elevate your nutritional knowledge, or make better and more informed decisions about the food you eat, Ian Marber is the voice of reason in an increasingly noisy and unhinged diet-focused world.

    Dr Fiona McCulloch: The PCOS expert and author on how you can take back control of the condition

    Dr Fiona McCulloch: The PCOS expert and author on how you can take back control of the condition

    Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a condition most women will have heard of, but you’ll only truly appreciate just how debilitating a disorder it can be if you’re unlucky enough to be one in the 10 women globally who suffer from it. 



    In simple terms PCOS is an endocrine disorder characterised by a variety of symptoms that can severely impact life quality: irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, weight gain, acne, and excessive hair growth are just the tip of the iceberg.
    But in reality it’s a hugely complex condition. Beneath these symptoms lie heightened risks of developing life-changing problems, including diabetes, heart disease, and mental health challenges, making PCOS much more than a reproductive or hormonal disorder.
    Enter Dr Fiona McCulloch, whose own journey with PCOS has not only shaped her professional focus but also fuelled her passion for helping others navigate this challenging landscape.
    Her book - 8 Steps to Reverse PCOS - offers a beacon of hope for sufferers of all ages, providing actionable advice grounded in scientific research and clinical practice.
    Dr McCulloch's approach dismantles the often one-dimensional treatment strategies typically offered to PCOS sufferers. She’s particularly critical of the widespread use of the oral contraceptive pill, which, while regulating menstrual cycles, does little to address the hormonal imbalances at the core of PCOS.
    In an advice-packed conversation with Unfiltered editor-in-chief Joe Warner, Dr McCulloch explains her reasons for advocating a holistic approach to managing the condition, emphasising the power of diet and exercise in restoring hormonal balance - especially insulin resistance, a frequent companion of PCOS - and enhancing overall well-being.
    Ultimately, Dr McCulloch’s key message is empowerment to provide women with the advice, insight and confidence they need to seize control of their PCOS, rather than let the condition continue to control every aspect of their lives.

    Aubrey de Grey: The biogerontologist on why ageing is a curable disease, not your divine destiny

    Aubrey de Grey: The biogerontologist on why ageing is a curable disease, not your divine destiny

    How would you celebrate your 1000th birthday?
    As fanciful as it sounds, many scientists working at the cutting-edge of life-extension medicine and technology believe that milestone is in reach. Some even believe that the first human to live to reach four figures has not only been born, but is already well into middle-age.
    Which begs the question, is ageing an inevitable part of life?
    Or is it just another type of disease, not a destiny?
    Can ageing, like many other illnesses that used to cut short human lifespan, be cured? Can it be engineered into extinction? Are we really on the cusp on being able to live forever?
    Aubrey de Grey thinks so.
    A leading figure in biogerontology, the study of the biological basis of ageing and age-related diseases, de Grey has spent his professional life working to show that ageing can be first stopped and then reversed.
    By systematically identifying and repairing the molecular and cellular damage that accumulates in our bodies, he suggests we can significantly extend not just human lifespan but, far more crucially, our healthspan.
    If de Grey is right, it heralds a future where you could live in the prime of your life indefinitely as new technologies and treatments are continuously invented to stop your biological clock from ever ticking even a second forward.
    The implications are hard to fathom. Not only for you and your family, but for the entire world. The social, economic and political ramifications and upheaval would change every facet of our current world order practically overnight.
    In a fascinating conversation with Unfiltered editor-in-chief Joe Warner, de Grey reveals the latest breakthroughs of anti-ageing research - including the targeted removal of senescent cells to the repair of damaged tissues via stem cell and gene editing tools. These interventions and others, he says, will transform the way we age and live, and force us all to reconsider how we perceive and understand the boundaries of human life.
    As we stand on the brink of what would be the most significant medical breakthroughs in human history, Aubrey de Grey provides essential insight for anyone interested in the intersection of health, technology, medicine and ethics.

    Dr Tommy Wood: The leading neuroscientist on how to reduce your risk of dementia to live healthier and happier for longer

    Dr Tommy Wood: The leading neuroscientist on how to reduce your risk of dementia to live healthier and happier for longer

    There are few things people fear, especially once they enter middle-age, as much as major cognitive decline. Neurodegenerative diseases, such as dementia, affect more than 55 million people worldwide, with 10 million new cases every year, according to the World Health Organisation.
    Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for between 60% to 70% of all cases – and dementia is the seventh leading cause of death globally and one of the major causes of disability and dependency amongst older people.
    But it’s not all bad news because certain lifestyle interventions can significantly reduce your risk of severe cognitive decline.
    For example, there’s strong evidence to suggest - and most experts agree - that exercise, good nutrition and learning new skills help mitigate your risk.
    One factor you might not know about, however, is educational achievement.
    Assuming smart training, good nutrition and a burning desire to acquire new skills and knowledge can ward off dementia - and potentially increase lifespan - Dr Tommy Wood's brain should be firing on all cyclinders until he’s at least 200 years old.
    The leading neuroscientist has spent his career excelling not only academically but also athletically, turning his hand from ultra-marathons to CrossFit competitions to strongman events.
    
In a scintillating and wide-ranging conversation with Unfiltered’s very own brains-and-brawn ambassador - contributing editor Dr Jonny Rees, PhD - Dr Wood delivers a masterclass of life-changing advice and insight.
    Not only does he provide actionable strategies and tips to reduce your risk of dementia and other types of cognitive decline, he also discusses head trauma and concussion, and what you can do in the immediate aftermath to limit the damage they cause.
    Dr Wood also demystifies some of the most frequently misunderstood concepts in the health and longevity arena, including autophagy - the process by which cells recycle their own components - and how to stimulate it for greater health (clue: it’s not fasting, despite what you may have seen on social media).
    If you’ve even been confused about the best lifestyle practices to adopt to remain fitter, healthier and happier for longer, or are constantly scratching your head about how seemingly conflicting and contradictory advice fits together, Dr Wood will set the record straight, once and for all.

    Sol Orwell: The Examine.com founder on how to build an unbeatable business and why bad bosses are on borrowed time

    Sol Orwell: The Examine.com founder on how to build an unbeatable business and why bad bosses are on borrowed time

    Inspired - and frustrated - by seeing the same creatine question get asked time and again on Reddit, serial entrepreneur Sol Orwell co-founded sports nutrition research service Examine.com in 2011, growing from a two-man-band in Toronto, Canada, to the world’s most trusted authority on critiquing the claims made by the $380-billion-a-year global supplement industry.
    But, as he reveals in a wide-ranging interview with Unfiltered's editor-in-chief Joe Warner, internal mistakes and worldwide pandemics have pushed the business to the brink.
    Yet an uncompromising stance on employee welfare and remaining true to his “North Star” means Orwell has refused eight-figure offers for the company to maintain complete control and keep Examine.com focused on what it does best. And, as he explains, he's only just getting started.
