In 2017, I took a trip to a mysterious peninsula in northern Greece where the monks who live there in solitude, fast for many hours a day and are pescatarian/vegan show remarkable longevity. That peninsula is Mount Athos. 
 
Here I speak to Dr Pete Patitsas - a Greek-American emergency doctor who has taken their methods and turned them into a weight-loss diet. It's a fascinating chat that delves into Covid, obesity and intermittent fasting and looks at how these 1,000-year-old habits may help us live longer. 

How we recover from the stress of life or the stress of an intense exercise programme is super important when it comes to our long-term health. In this episode I welcome world-renowned conditioning specialist Joel Jamieson who talks us through how to cut through the vast amount of data given to us by our wearables to get some meaningful stats, why going 'balls to the wall' is not always the best strategy and how to ensure we live a long and fruitful life.

In the newly renamed I Am Elevated podcast, James speaks to nutrition therapist Jane Hickey about her new book Good Foods for Anxiety: Five Best Foods for Anxiety.
Former teacher Jane tells of how nutrition changed her life when exam stress threatened to derail her career and she became a germaphobe mum, then goes on to outline a number of lifestyle strategies that can help those who suffer from anxiety.

Our microbiome - the vital bacteria that live along and inside us - outnumbers our own cells by three to one, so it's vitally important we look after it.

In this episode we talk to Debbie Cotton of Invivo Healthcare about why it's so important, what DNA stool testing can reveal, what prebiotics are and which to take, and whether probiotics are really needed.

If you want to dig deep and find out how taking care of your microbiome can aid with all manner of illnesses from asthma to diabetes or how manipulating it can be a great biohacking tool, this is the episode for you.

Full disclosure Invivo Healthcare is a company that conducts stool tests and produces supplements - but Debbie also suggests real food alternatives in this fascinating podcast.

In this episode of the Nutrition Lab, James Ellis of Endure Nutrition, Health & Fitness welcomes back fellow clinical nutritionist Sarah Beecroft to talk about some basic biohacking for beginners. For those who don’t know, biohacking is the relatively new practice of trying to optimise your body’s functionality through using nutrition and lifestyle interventions.

While it’s normally associated with some high-tech monitoring devices such as the Oura Ring sleep monitor, there are many small interventions people can make to improve things such as energy levels, their immune response and relaxation. Here James and Sarah discuss some of their favourite simple hacks that anyone can employ easily and cheaply.
