    Overcoming a Binge Eating Disorder | Phil Williams

    Sugar is woven into our culture as a reward, a comfort and a celebration. But for some people, the relationship with food becomes far more complicated - and potentially life-threatening. Broadcaster and journalist Phil Williams has written with extraordinary candour about living with binge eating disorder and the hidden toll it took on his physical and mental health. In this Live Long conversation, he describes the shame, self-loathing and health scares that finally forced him to confront his addiction. It's a powerful reminder that living well isn't simply about adding years to life, but understanding the behaviours that can take those years away. This episode includes strong language. Phil on Substack: I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but you have a binge eating disorder If you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder, help is available.

    It's Never Too Late | Jeffrey Weiss

    What is still possible in midlife? Many of us reach our forties, fifties and sixties assuming that the major chapters of our lives have already been written. Careers are established, habits are set, and the opportunity for significant change may feel increasingly limited. Jeffrey Weiss challenges that assumption. At the age of 48, he ran his first 10-kilometre race. In the years that followed, he completed Ironman Arizona twice, finished a 72-mile ultramarathon, and embarked on a successful new chapter in his professional life that culminated in a multi-billion-dollar startup exit. In this conversation, we explore the power of healthspan, the value of audacious goals, how fitness can transform both body and mindset, and why it's never too late to embrace a new challenge. Jeffrey is the author of Racing Against Time: On Ironman, Ultramarathons, and the Quest for Transformation in Mid-Life. PartiQlar supplements Enhance your wellness journey with PartiQlar supplements.

    Healthy Meals: Consistency Beats Perfection | Mario Limaduran

    Most of us know what healthy eating looks like. The challenge is sticking to it when life gets busy, stress levels rise, and convenience wins out. So what can we learn from the way elite athletes fuel their bodies, and from the systems that make healthy choices easier? In this conversation, Mario Limaduran, Culinary Director for Trifecta Nutrition, explores the realities of meal planning, the role of discipline and habits, and why perfection is often the enemy of long-term success. His message is simple: healthy eating doesn't have to be complicated, but it does need to be sustainable.

  4. Can Science Slow Aging? | David Donnelly

    Can Science Slow Aging? | David Donnelly

    For decades, aging was seen as inevitable — a slow and irreversible decline. But a growing number of scientists now believe we may be entering a turning point, with research increasingly focused on extending not just how long we live, but how well we live. In the documentary Forever Young, filmmaker David Donnelly — alongside producers Dr. James Johnson and Dr. Thomas Lewis — explores the rapidly evolving world of longevity science, from biological clocks and AI-driven research to the power of lifestyle, purpose, and social connection. The film also confronts some of the field’s biggest questions: what aging actually is, whether it should be treated as a disease, and who stands to benefit if the science succeeds. In this conversation with Peter Bowes, Donnelly reflects on skepticism, scientific disagreement, and why he believes humanity may already be living through a longevity revolution. -- Learn more about Forever Young: The end of aging has just begun Apple TV Pre-order | Official Website | Substack | Instagram | X | Facebook | YouTube | Watch the Trailer -- DISCLOSURE: This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

    Why Loneliness Shortens Lives | Dr Alan Rozanski

    Loneliness is increasingly being recognized not simply as a social issue, but as a major threat to public health.  Cardiologist and behavioral medicine pioneer Dr. Alan Rozanski says the evidence is now clear: meaningful human connection influences everything from heart health to longevity and emotional resilience.  In this conversation with Peter Bowes, he explains how social isolation affects the body biologically, why purpose and vitality matter as much as diet and exercise, and why modern life may be weakening our ability to connect.  He also explores the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, and the complex role technology and social media now play in our relationships. Ultimately, he argues that the strongest predictor of long-term wellbeing may not simply be how long we live — but how vital and connected we feel along the way.  -- May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, observed annually since 1949 to reduce stigma, provide support, and educate the public on mental wellness --  -- This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

    The Truth About Retirement | Gregg Lunceford

    As people live longer and stay healthier for more years, retirement is being redefined. What was once seen as a relatively short closing chapter can now stretch across decades, raising deeper questions about identity, purpose and how to spend our time well. Wealth adviser Gregg Lunceford has spent years studying this transition and the gap between leaving work and living well afterwards. He argues that traditional ideas of retirement, focused mainly on financial security, miss the psychological and social role that work plays in our lives. The challenge now is not simply knowing when to stop working, but how to shape a fulfilling life beyond it. Gregg Lunceford is a wealth advisor and researcher focused on how people navigate the transition into retirement. A Managing Director at Mesirow, he works with individuals over 50 to plan not just financially, but psychologically and socially for life beyond full-time work. Author of Exit from Work, he examines what he calls the “third age”: a potentially rich, 20-year phase shaped by reinvention, meaning, and a rethinking of what it means to live well. --------------- This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

    Beyond willpower: The biology of hunger | Sarah Kennedy

    Weight-loss drugs that target the hormone GLP-1 have rapidly reshaped the conversation around obesity, appetite and personal responsibility. But alongside the rise of powerful synthetic injectables, researchers are also exploring whether the body’s own appetite signals can be harnessed more naturally. At the heart of the debate is a simple question: are we eating too much because of weak willpower, or because of biology?  As new approaches emerge, the challenge is to balance effectiveness, safety and long-term sustainability in tackling one of modern health’s most persistent problems. In this interview, Sarah Kennedy, founder of Calocurb, a New Zealand company which has developed a plant-based compound designed to naturally stimulate GLP-1, discusses the science of appetite control and how it compares to injectable drugs.  --------------- Try Calocurb for yourself?
